I'm trying to create a custom Blog post rotator for a homepage. It shows the 5 newest posts (Title, summary, date, and link) this works with the following code
var posts = App.WorkWith().BlogPosts().Publihed().Get().OrderByDescending(p => p.PublicationDate).Take(5)ToList();
But I only want to get posts with specific Tags. I'm able to get the Guid associated with a specific tag
TaxonomyManager taxmanager = TaxonomyManager.GetManager();
var taxonGuidId = taxmanager.GetTaxa<FlatTaxon>().Where(t => t.Name == "SpecificTag").Single().Id;
I can foreach through every post and see lots of information but cannot figure out how to determine if the specific Guid is attached to that post. Or take the post and get a list of Taxon; something like
var postTaxon = GetTaxon(BlogPost)
Is there a reason you need to use a custom widget? I would recommend using the standard list widget for blogs select the tag you want to show and then limit it to 5. Once you do that you can then us your JavaScript to create the rotator from the default classes or modify the template to have custom classes.

there is a video content type field in which there is a link slug, and when a new video is created, in the get request we get a null slug. tell me what's the matter. didn't install slugify
docs
getting stuck at getting {slug : null} after api call in strapi?
ok, this is what I did
I made a variable before POST request based on one of my form fields (eg:name field)
my formValues is an object with values of form fields like this
formValues = {name:"whatever" , decsription:"whatever"}
make a variable:
const slug = formValues.name.split(" ").join("-") + "-" + Math.random();
now we might have same names, so that's why I used a random value (you might want to use uuid or something like that)
then you send it like this
const res = await axios.post(`${API_URL}/api/events`,{...formValues, slug });
// you may not need to send an object with the shape like this
// but the point is you concat your custom slug to the object you want to send
notice I'm adding a custom slug from frontend which is somehow random but based off of one of the fields, but it doesn't really matter, right now strapi does not have any documentation about this common problem, it seems like the best solution might be usingstrapi-plugin-slugify but if that didn't work for you feel free to use my solution
According to v3 docs I should be able to add a contact to a list using the Contact API but I am at a loss on how to do so as I see nothing list related under Contacts.
How do I add a contact to a list (not through automations) using version 3 of the API? Or are the docs in error?
The v3 docs have been updated (Lists documentation) and they no longer read that you can add a contact to a list through the API. ActiveCampaign Lists documentation screenshot
EDIT: you can add a contact to a list using the v1 contact_sync (contact_sync documentation)
SECOND EDIT: you can now add a contact to a list and/or change their subscription status to a given list through the v3 API!
(update list status for a contact documentation)
The above is no longer true. You can add a contact using the Create Contact endpoint.
It's basically a POST request that uses the following parameters:
E-Mail (Required)
First Name (Optional)
Last Name (Optional)
Phone (Optional)
The API v3 changed a lot though and now after you create a contact to do the following this you have to consult other endpoints. For example:
To add a contact to a list you need a POST request to the Contact Lists endpoint where you need to provide three parameters (listid, contactid, status).
If you need to assign a tag to a contact, in order to be able to create the relationship you first need to create the tag using the Create a new tag endpoint. And the use the resulting tag id with the Create Contact Tag endpoint where you combine said tag id with the contact id.
Now in order to remove that same tag the guys from Active Campaign made us work more and in order to remove a tag from a contact you don't use the contact's id and the tag's id, but rather you have to use the contact's id and the relationship id between the tag and the specific contact, that's quite a lot of steps, but I guess they wanted to make it very robuts in terms of structure.
There are many new endpoints which were actually available from around the date when you asked your question. You should check out the new API reference. It has some flaws and is not 100% complete yet, but it would be useful.
Hope this helps since it gave me some head heck... Using activecampaign php sdk when adding a contact with the sync command you can also add it to a list:
$list_id = 'thelistid';
$contact = array(
"email" => 'contactemail#doamin.com',
"p[{$list_id}]" => $list_id,
"status[{$list_id}]" => 1, // "Active" status
);
$contact_sync = $ac->api("contact/sync", $contact);
They wrote it also as examples on the repository but for some reason I didn't catch it.
I have built a site that pulls the comments from Trello to show it on my site using this code:
var resource = "cards/" + card.id + "/actions";
Trello.get(resource, function(comments) {
if(!$.isEmptyObject(comments)){
var commentStr="<div class='comments_c'>";
$.each(comments, function(c, cda){
//console.log(cda.data.text);
commentStr += "<p>"+cda.data.text+"</p>";
//addComments(cda.data.text);
});
commentStr += "</div>";
}
console.log(commentStr);
Now it works fine to pull the comments but it doesn't show the activity like "Sarah Hastings added this card to ". The api documentation doesn't talk about it and I am at a dead-end. We need it for reporting and looking for a way to get the activities (copied, moved, added) from Trello to our site. Any help is appreciated.
By default, the cards/[idCard]/actions endpoint returns actions filtered to commentCard,updateCard:idList. If you want to get actions of additional types from that endpoint you will want to include the filter parameter with the list of action types that you want returned. You can see the full list of options documented here: https://developers.trello.com/advanced-reference/card#get-1-cards-card-id-or-shortlink-actions by clicking Show next to Arguments for that call.
For example actions of adding cards to a board would be of type: moveCardToBoard so you would want to add that to the filter parameter.
I am working on building a REST API based connector to a marketplace which uses sitecore. I have found the documentation for using the search API command here:
https://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sitecore6/65/sitecore_search_and_indexing_sc60-65-a4.pdf
I have been unable to figure out how to use it to search for content that is grouped into a navigation category, and was unsure if there was a good way to do this. I did not design the site, and the designers were contractors who are no longer working with us.
I would like to be able to find a list of items based on a specific navigation category that has been assigned to them. I have tried getting the children of the category ID itself, but that did not work. Here is a picture of the navigation category associated with a given object in case it adds clarification:
enter image description here
Is there an easy way to search for items like this?
Going with the assumption that you are on 7.2 or above, you just need to search for items that have the ID of the Navigation Categorization field (in your index as navigation_categorization) that are set to the ID of the item you wish to filter on. In your image, it would be the ID of "connectivity services" item.
var context = ContentSearchManager.GetIndex("master").CreateSearchContext();
var computedLanguage = Sitecore.Context.Language.CultureInfo.Name;
// get the iBuild items
var results = context.GetQueryable<SearchResultItem>()
.Where(i => i["navigation_categorization"].Contains([connectivity services ID])
&& i.Language == computedLanguage)
.GetResults()
.Hits.Select(x => x.Document.GetItem(
));
I have to implement a page with multiple google-powered search forms. We have a license from Google for CSE, and this is the situation:
I have a search form that's present at the top of every page that performs a simple search and displays the results in a separate page. This works.
I have a particular page that, in addition, shows another two search forms: one should filter articles by category, another should filter articles by category and restrict the result to a certain month. I have added a meta key with the publication date to each article for this.
I have gotten a bit lost in the documentation, though: if I add
<gcse:searchbox-only resultsUrl="/[site]/stat/search/google_search_results.html"></gcse:searchbox-only></div>
to the page, I can't filter the results. If I start to meddle with a CustomSearchObject, I don't see an option to show results on a different page.
For category-based filtering, I've tried appending
more:pagemap:metatags-taxonomies:news
to the query argument in the results page URL, and it does work, but I don't understand how to inject this to the form.
For restricting based on dates, I tried adding
&sort=more:pagemap:metatags-pubdate:r:YYYYMMDD:YYYYMMDD
but haven't been able to make it work. Getting the XML does work:
http://www.google.com/search?q=intitle:[mysite]%20more:pagemap:metatags-taxonomies:News&sort=metatags-pubdate:r:20120401:20120830&cx=[mykey]client=google-csbe&output=xml
returns correct results.
Is there documentation that doesn't assume so much? All I find are code snippets without context. I've checked Filtering and sorting, Custom Search Element Control API, and of course this site, but I can't put all the pieces together.
I managed to implement what I wanted. In the search page, I built simple forms pointing to my results pages (this might not be doable if you must implement google branding), and in the results page I put the following:
(in the <head>)
<script src="http://www.google.com/jsapi"></script>
<script>
// This function extracts the query from the URL (if GET) or builds a search query.
// Code removed to simplify the example.
function buildQuery () {
return '<?php echo $_POST['q'];?> more:pagemap:metatags-taxonomias:News'); // injecting the taxonomy metatag filter
}
google.load('search', '1', {language : 'es'});
google.setOnLoadCallback(function() {
var customSearchOptions = {};
customSearchOptions[google.search.Search.RESTRICT_EXTENDED_ARGS] = {'sort':'metatags-pubdate:d,metatags-pubdate:r:<?php echo $_POST['startdate'];?>:<?php echo $_POST['enddate'];?>'}; // these come from the POST request, are processed earlier in the script.
var customSearchControl = new google.search.CustomSearchControl('XXXXXXXXXXX', customSearchOptions); // Put your own App key here.
customSearchControl.setResultSetSize(google.search.Search.FILTERED_CSE_RESULTSET);
var drawOptions = new google.search.DrawOptions();
drawOptions.enableSearchResultsOnly(); // I don't want the search box here
customSearchControl.draw('cse-results-press', drawOptions);
var query = parseQuery();
if (query) {
customSearchControl.execute(query);
}
}, true);
</script>
In the <body>:
<div id="cse-results-press">Loading...</div>
