I've written a method that collects some sales statistics that I would like to send as an email. I've searched through the project but I just can't figure out how to do this.
In the database there's a "MessageTemplates" -table with some information about the templates like "p" and "br" -tags with parameters like customer.name and so on. These templates seem to be implemented in "WorkflowMessageService" class. There's also a class called "MessageTokensProvider" but I can't see why I would need tokens as I just want the data collected from my method returned in the new mail.
Has anyone added a message template for nopCommerce before that can explain what I need to do and how it works? This would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
MessageTokensProvider is to allow certain token to be replaced with dynamic data. For example %Store.Name% will be replaced with the configured store name.
You can, of course, not use any tokens in your message template.

I followed the instructions here on establishing a new provider and generating custom URLs, and it works as expected. There doesn't seem to be a clear reference for what parameters can be utilized in the settings as the example given is very basic.
I want to use the category name of the post in the URL. I tried:
/[Category]/[UrlName]
but what I got in the frontend was:
http://localhost:60327/my-page/Telerik.OpenAccess.TrackedList%601[System.Guid]/my-post-name
I also tried
/[Category.Title]/[UrlName]
which just threw errors.
Anyone know how to do this, or better yet, a good reference for the parameters?
I don't think this is possible since the Category property is actually a collection (TrackedList).
In theory you would need one of the collection items, let's say the first one, and your URL expression would be /[Category[0].Title]/[UrlName], but this is currently not supported by the expression parser.
Also, the idea of making the URL dependent on a complex (related) field is not a good idea. If someone deletes that category, they will break all your blog post URLs.
I would suggest you to create a custom text field for the blog post item (ex: CategoryUrl) and then you should be able to set the URL format to /[CategoryUrl]/[UrlName]. Make sure CategoryUrl field is required.
I am developing a module for electronic invoicing, and should express the payment term in spanish, so I am setting a dictionary with all the needed fields, and when I do this:
{
...
'FmaPago': inv.payment_term.name,
...
}
The output file contains the value "name" in english. I've tried something like
_(inv.payment_term.name)
but with the same result.
How should I force the value to be expressed in a defined translation?
The field name of Payment Terms are already translatable. You can change the translation in Odoo by clicking the little button within a field in edit mode.
If you've done that correct, you have to avoid some typical mistakes at code side if you use the old API.
always pass the context
e.g. if you browse the invoice, pass the context, to get all translations correct
use partner language if you want to translate for them
Odoo is using user language in his context, to translate the web client correctly. If you print documents for customers, you want them in customer language of course...
So you maybe need to manipulate the context (key 'lang'). For new API you have to call with_context() to do that.
You must use _() for strings that you want to be able to translate.
You must make translating files *.po (as i remmember) and thats all I think.
Dont forget to check documentation link
I have been able so far to create a new civi Mailing object and populate it, but confusingly I can't see a parameter in that to specify the mail destination group.
For context, I am dealing with Civi using pure REST api from a remote server. I have a solution to getting a custom template onto the server; the new problem is setting a schedule and delivery group, and initiating the send. I am using the python-civicrm library from github as the intermediary on the client.
I presume send happens as a result of setting the schedule -- i.e. I don't need an API call to say 'send mailing'? Is setting 'sheduled date' == 'now' safe or should I set a date of 'now + 1min' or similar?
So that leaves setting the delivery group. We already have groups defined in the DB, and I want to specify the group by name (and preferably be able to verify in advance that a group name is a valid destination, perhaps by doing a group name -> id lookup).
I think there might be a parameter to Mailing create 'groups' which can have keys 'include' and 'exclude'; at least, that's what the web form seems to do. However it's not mentioned in the REST api implementation.
Can anyone offer pointers?
I think you will find all you need in the following link :
Example of api call that is using the group include/exclude : https://gist.github.com/xurizaemon/6775471
Discussion about implementing mailing as an api - http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=24075.0
Otherwise, if it doesn't work, i suggest that you :
help adding this api in the CiviCRM Core - you could have some help on this on irc #civicrm (and have a look at https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-11023)
OR create an extension with the api you need. It will be automatically available for REST. If you haven't created an extension yet, i suggest you go to the page http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Create+a+Module+Extension. It's quite straightforward with civix installed.
The table you need to check in the database is civicrm_mailing_group
To confirm, the problem was that (a) I needed to use groups[include]=array(ids) as mentioned by samuelsov, but also (b) I needed to use the json={...} form of request through REST, because the HTTP params syntax doesn't support nested data.
While retrieving basic data using the SalesForce REST API, I encountered the following errors. They seem to follow the pattern of; me asking for non-existent fields.
[{"message":"\nSELECT AnnualRevenue,CreatedDate,Id,LastActivityDate\n ^\nERROR at Row:1:Column:8\nNo such column 'AnnualRevenue' on entity 'Account'.

But the fields obviously exist, I can see them in the my Dev account. Is it possible that, these fields do not exist for certain types of SalesForce Accounts (Professional, Dev, Ultimate, Enterprise etc)?
To get the application working I removed the fields from the SOQL, and instead used different fields, but not all had replacements. Anyhow... any insight is appreciated.
Thanks
I'm not super familiar with the REST API, but this sounds like a privileges issue to me. Are you sure that the account you are using can see these fields? Check Field Level Security. I'm pretty sure that Expected Revenue, for example, is invisible by default.
These fields should exist for all versions of Salesforce.
I want to make a ticket sales site theme. As you might guess, most of ticket sales site using a flash based chair selection tool. Those systems using premade scenes which is audiences can select their chairs. I can make premade scenes with jQuery or flash but I don't know how can we handle this selection by Magento.
So, what I want to know that is it possible to pass a user specific variable in Magento? I mean, this variable should be available in checkout and backend as well. Could you please give me an advice to accomplish such an idea?
If this option can be selected from a fixed list of options, then what you want can be achieved using Configurable Products, or Custom Options.
If what you're looking for is a completely bespoke user-defined value, then this is pretty programming intensive, so if you're not a developer it's not an easy task.
Forgive the shameless self-link, but I've recently posted on this topic here:
http://mikebywaters.wordpress.com/2012/03/29/adding-custom-data-to-a-cart-item-in-magento/
In short, the post says that you can add an array of custom data to the quote when the item is added to the quote. For this, you’ll have to hijack the add-to-cart controller completely. To start with, take all the functionality from the existing controller. Look at the Mage_Sales_Model_Quote::addProduct() function and you’ll see that it takes two parameters like so:
$quote->addProduct($product, $request);
where $request is of type Varien_Object formatted like this:
$request = new Varien_Object(array(
'qty'=>$qty,
'options'=>$options,
'custom_options'=>$custom_options
));
Hope this helps.
