I'm using DotNetNuke 7 for my CMS. I created a custom profile property for zip codes. Does anyone know how to add custom validation for the data entry before allowing the user to register.
Thanks
I don't think DNN allows this in custom properties, you'll likely need to wire something up yourself to make this happen. You might be able to add some custom jquery to the registration page that does some webservice calls to check and validate a property, but I haven't tried that before so it would probably be a lot of trial and error until you get it working right.
Click on the pencil next to the property you created if its only one zip code then in the valid expression area put the zipcode ex:08109 of you wanted to have it at two zipcodes lets say 08109 and 08110 then you could use a validation expression something like this:
^[0]{1}[8]{1}[1]{1}[0-1]{1}[0-9]{1}$

I want to add possibility for clients to receive orders personally in one of our shops. I tried to find some module which gives possibility to select in which shop they want to receive order but I haven't found anything for free. Because of that I want to create new module for it. What's more I'm totally new in prestashop and I don't know where to start or how to create this module. I spend two-three days reading how to do it and these are my assumptions:
New carrier module can be created by extending CarrierModule class.
I read some articles / documentation about hooks.
I have created my first carrier module by editing module attached in this article http://www.prestashop.com/blog/en/carrier_modules_functions_creation_and_configuration/.
What I achieved is that I installed module and used hook 'BeforeCarrier' to add some layout to page after selecting my carrier.
This is how my carrier should work:
It should be a part of carrier list so customer is able to select it.
If carrier is not selected nothing hapens. If carrier is selected by customer then button 'Choose shop' should be shown.
After pressing button 'Choose shop' new window should be show with addresses of our shops (instead of new window it may be placed somewhere in current page).
Window with shop adresses will contain list of addresses with radiobuttons and button to confirm selection.
After confirmation of selection window will be closed and address should be shown as a part of carreir.
E-mail with confirmation will contain information in which shop customer can collect order.
Suppose that addresses will be hardcoded in php code.
These are my questions:
I created new carrier module so I assume it works correctly (as described here http://www.prestashop.com/blog/en/carrier_modules_functions_creation_and_configuration/).
How to add new button 'Choose shop' near selected carrier?
Can I use hooks to add 'Choose shop' button?
Where should I remember choosen shop address? Has 'Carrier' class place for it?
How to add shop address to e-mails? Should I edit layouts? Does e-mail layout contain place for it or do I need to add new 'placeholder' for it?
How to show chosen address on admin side?
To describe my problem more detail I have created few scenario (see attachment).
I will be greatful for any help.
I've posted the same question on prestashop forum.
These example are usually old and poorly written. They lack structure. But for your purpose I suppose they're ok.
Use hookDisplayCarrierList($args). Check $args to see which carrier has been selected, then return <select> element which you
shop addresses. This hook is triggered every time a user selects a carrier and is return via Ajax. Therefore, you may not use ajax here.
You should include you javascript in a file. Use hookDisplayHeader to detect when to insert this file into your page:
public function hookDisplayHeader(){
$propExists = property_exists($this->context->controller, 'php_self');
if($propExists){
$controllerName = $this->context->controller->php_self;
if(in_array($controllerName, array('order', 'order-opc'))){
// $this->context->controller->addJS($this->_path.'js/customcarrier.js');
This Javascript file should check whether a valid shop has been selected before going to the next step;
Because your Js code is in a file and the hookDisplayCarrierList cannot contain any JavaScript (because it returns Ajax),
you should also make use of hookDisplayBeforeCarrier. Here you could insert you custom carrier ID - this way you'd know
when to check for errors with your JS file.
Same question as #2.
The correct way to save the information would be to add a model. CustomCarrierSelectedAddress - or something like it.
It would have these columns: id_cart, id_shop_address;
The way you implement shop addresses is up to you. You may define them as constants or even make a new model for them.
Models arent that hard to create, you just need to declare class properties, static variable $definition that's it.
You may add you own methods. You should also add createTable()/dropTable() methods for convenience.
This is more complicated. You could:
Send your own email about selected shop address.
Search the controller method which send the email you wish to change.
Then you should override that method by copying the file to your module, delete all the other methods and
rename the class definition inside -> class AdminAddressesController extends AdminAddressesControllerCore
There should be an array of email placeholders and their values, which the controllers assigns.
for example '{order_id}'. You should add your email variable to array {chosen_shop_info} and assign whole
paragraph of text to it. Then you may use it in the actual email template which you can edit in BO.
This is more or less the only way I know to edit the existing templates, because you can't do conditional statements inside email templates.
To add chosen address to order page in BO, you should use another hook - hookDisplayAdminOrder.
here you can add your own block to be display in order summary.
To find out which hooks are available, go to Hook.php and look for method exec(). Add this line error_log($hook_name).
When you perform a specific action, executed hooks will be logged and you will see what kind of hook you need.
I am creating a dnn module. The content depends on the param in the url.
I want to be able to edit this content in the 'edit content' mode. However when i go to edit content the param in the url is no longer accessible because it is the parent document. How do i go about passing this value from the view.ascx to the edit.ascx?
Try storing the param in cookies or localstorage. Then you should be able to access it. Of course the user will be able to modify it but you can do a check that the user has not modified it by storing a server side encryption or somthing like that.
A workaround is to have a field where the user enters this parameter. But i know this isn't a very good solution. I am guessing that you will have to override the dotnetnuke core to do this (yes i know it sucks).
I hope I am understanding the question properly.
To pass parameters from your View to Edit controls, you should first make sure they are registered properly in the module definition. You default View should have an empty controlkey and your Edit should be registered with a control key, for example "addedit".
When creating a link between your view control and edit control, use the EditUrl() method of PortalModuleBase. When passing a parameter, for example an id of the item you want to load into your edit control, you can pass them as arguments in the EditUr method.
Example (in my view.ascx.cs):
lnkEdit.NavigateUrl = EditUrl("id", "16", "addedit");
This will assign a module view link to the edit.ascx (assuming the controlkey in the definition is addedit) passing in a url parameter "id" with value 16.

Sharepoint is quite limited when it comes to multi-Lookups because it saves that information in strings. So I changed the Page-Property
"Elements (MultiLookup-> elementIds" on the propertyPage
to an inserted List "PageElements":
"
(SingleLookup)pageId , (singleLookup) elementId"
Because this is quite hard to maintain for my content admins I want that they can enter that information in the page properties like before instead of adding lines into "PageElements"
Therefore I want to add a control that handles that.
I do not need a solution for the task how to achieve that specific function, but a general hint how to add any custom control into a Page property.
I starting point link would be very nice. I just doen't seem to find the right words to feed google with my topic.
Solved this by using a custom field type with that logic. Basicly Described here: http://avinashkt.blogspot.de/2011/07/creating-custom-field-in-sharepoint.html
Yii framework, yii-user extension (using latest version of both, to date): how do I add a simple "checkbox" field for the profile of all users?
I am logged in as admin, and went to user/profileField/admin. I can add new field but the closest I get to is adding a "BOOL" field which is rendered as a dropdown, while I need a checkbox... . When "BOOL" is used I cannot specify the widget and even if I could, there's no documentation on those yii-user widgets.
Any help is welcome!
Open up modules/yii-user/views/user/registration.php. Around line 40, add something like this:
else if ($field->field_type=='BINARY') echo $form->checkBox($profile,$field->varname,array());
Now when you want to create a checkbox field, choose the BINARY field type. If you want to require that it's checked, add this to the 'Other Validator' field: {"compare":{"compareValue":"1"}}
I've had a look around the docs for that extension and I don't actually see a single checkbox anywhere in the screen shots or mentioned anywhere in the wiki either.
You might be able to dive in and add support for one in the places you need it, Yii nicely handles all the HTML elements so it shouldn't be too hard to add the feature in a primitive form. CHtml::checkBox() or CHtml::checkBoxList().
Then again if your already running into problems with it, it's probably going to be easier in the long run for you to write what you need yourself.
I'm trying to add a custom field type to our SugarCRM 6.2 instance. I want to add an "email link" type field. I want it to function like the URL field, but prefix every address with "mailto://" prefix instead of "http://".
It will be good if that field type is available in studio while creating new fields or in minimum, some custom code to achieve it.
What I did up to now:
- I've copied include/SugarFields/Fields/URL to include/SugarFields/Fields/Email
- In modules/ModuleBuilder/language/en_us.lang.php I've added a title for the email field
But unable to get anything working. Any help?
First of all you do not want to make any coding changes outside of the custom directory. Doing so outside of this directory is not upgrade safe.
Create a custom fields directory in your custom folder
Create new template files (.tpl) for your custom field
then you can just add a regular textfield in studio
then edit your viewdefs in your custom directory
in your tpl file concatenate the mailto:// to your text and just add the persons email address and it will take care of the rest for you
why you need custom field type for such small functionality? Just add your custom JS file in editviewdef.php. Then use some jQuery selector to perform certain action. For detail view, you can use view.detail.php to add required text in run time.
This will help you to store less data in database and display more in frontend.
