I want to move about 100 user stores to features. I use query to get the type, but I don't know how to change it.
query.query_string = "(FormattedID = \"US4332\")"
results = #rally.find(query)
#res = results.first
puts #res["_type"]
Unfortunately it is not possible to change work item type, and this limitation is not specific to Web Services API, and applies to UI too, with the exception of converting a defect to a story in the UI.
The closest you'll be able to get is to create new features as close to copies of the original stories as possible (including moving children, etc).

I know how to get an item of the particular table. Like for user we can have
$userItem = Engine_Api::_()->getItem("user", $userId);
or for a custom table
$customItem = Engine_Api::_()->getItem("custom", $customeId);
I want to know the code or method how can I make my $customItem to work the same way as $userItem works for users table. So that I can get data or manipulate the data of custom table
Thanks for your help. :-)
You can achieve that by creating a model. Check how it's done in /application/modules/User/Model. There is User.php file that declares User_Model_User and methods available for User such as getTitle, get Href etc.
You may use similar approach for your custom item. You will also need to create a file similar to /application/modules/User/Model/DbTable/User.php to declare table for your custom items.
I have a situation where i'd like to enter a "3" into a textbox on a user story grid, call something like RankToPosition(3) to move that user story row to position 3 in the current rank. Within the same grid, the idea is to have a textbox on each row, so the row beneath may have a 4 in there, and when i click SUBMIT, the entire table would be processed by using the numbers in the row textbox and calling RankToPosition(#). This is like the Netflix queue. There have been similar questions on here, but my thought is to just call the underlying method alluded to here as "_onMoveToPositionClicked":
https://help.rallydev.com/apps/2.0rc3/doc/source/MoveToPositionMenuItem.html#Rally-ui-menu-item-MoveToPositionMenuItem-cfg-rankRecordHelper
If i could iterate through the table grid, store initial rank values (i realize they're not just integers), and pick the new text values up, run code to call the _onMoveToPositionClicked beneath the scenes, it may accomplish a bulk rank grid for when users have 200+ items to manage, for instance.
Any insight you have for just calling this in custom code would be helpful. Any solution for representing this functionality would be appreciated. I am currently using Rally 2.0rc3.
Thank you for your time
Is it possible to upgrade to a newer version of the App SDK? 2.0rc3 is a very old pre-release. The latest is 2.1: https://help.rallydev.com/apps/2.1/doc/
In any case, the way ranking is performed is relative to another object via the rankAbove or rankBelow parameters. So given the record you want to rerank:
record.save({
params: {
rankAbove: '/hierarchicalrequirement/12345'
}
});
I've used Joel Krooswyk's Print All Backlog Story Cards solution for printing all stories in a backlog.
What I'd like to do is to extend this to have each card print the name of the parent feature that the card belongs to so I can print them all up and lay them on a table for a collaborative estimation session.
The issue is, I'm having trouble finding how to do it.
A snippet of his code in question:
queryArray[0] = {
key: CARD_TYPE,
type: 'hierarchicalrequirement',
query: '((Iteration.Name = "") AND (Release.Name = ""))',
fetch: 'Name,Iteration,Owner,FormattedID,PlanEstimate,ObjectID,Description,UserName',
order: 'Rank'
};
I can't seem to find the element to fetch!
Parent was listed on an example queries page(intended for use in the browser query functionality), with Parent.Name containing the actual text but so that hasn't worked - trying to find a reference that is clear about it seems to be eluding me.
I've looked at the type definition located at:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/typedefinition/?fetch=ObjectID&pagesize=100&pretty=true
Going to the hierarchical requirement's type definition from that page indicates it has a Parent field in one form or another.
I'm not even sure that that one will solve what I'm looking at.
A bit stuck, and I'm not sure what I'm trying to do is even possible with the hierarchical requirement object type.
Note: I assume even if I do find it I'll need to add some code to deal parentless stories- not worried about that though, that's easy enough to deal with once I find the actual value.
Many thanks to anyone who can help :)
I modified Joel's app to include PI/Feature's FormattedID to the cards when a story has a parent PI/Feature.
You may see the code in this github repo.
Parent field of a user story references another user story.
If you want to read a parent portfolio item of a user story, which is a Feature object, use Feature attribute or PortfolioItem attribute. Both will work:
if (data[i].PortfolioItem) {
//feature = data[i].PortfolioItem.FormattedID; //also works
//feature = data[i].Feature.Name; //also works
feature = data[i].Feature.FormattedID;
} else {
feature = "";
}
as long as the version of API is set in the code to 1.37 or above (up to 1.43).
PrintStoryCards app is AppSDK1 app.
1.33 is the latest version of AppSDK1.x
1.29, which the app is using is not aware of PortfoilioItems.
PortfolioItem was introduced in Rally in WS API version 1.37.
See API versioning section in the WS API documentation .
If you want to access Portfolio Items, or other features introduced in later versions of WS API up to 1.43 this syntax will allow it.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/apps/1.33/sdk.js?apiVersion=1.43"></script>
This has to be used with caution. One thing that definitely will break is around calculations of timebox start and end dates. That's why many legacy Rally App Catalog apps are still at 1.29.
This is due to changes in API Version 1.30.
Note that this method of setting a more advanced version of WS API for AppSDK1 does not work with v2.0 of WS API.
You should be able to add PortfolioItem to your fetch. Parent is the field used if the parent is a story. PortfolioItem is the field used if the parent is a Feature (or whatever your lowest level PI is).
Then in the results you can just get it like this:
var featureName = (story.PortfolioItem && story.PortfolioItem.Name) || 'None';
I need to develop an application that extracts all the contents in Content Tab of the Ektron Workarea and I have to keep tree structure of folders (taxonomies,collections,forms,etc.) also.When I click the content I need to get the Content ID in the code behind also.I need to do all these in a single function.
I tried this requirement with the concept of content block widget in workarea.When we drag that widget and edit it a pop up will come and it displays the folders of work area in tree structure.But when I created an aspx page, put the same code and I browse that page I didn't get the tree structure of all contents.Only the main tabs(Folders,Taxonomies and search ) are visible.Then I drag the user control in the aspx page .But it also doest work.
So how will I solve the above problem.
Can I pull all the contents in tree structure from work area from the root using API codes?.Then can anyone please give the API code to solve?
Please anyone reply!
Assuming you are using 8.6 look here to start with:
http://reference.ektron.com/developer/framework/content/contentmanager/getlist.aspx
Update:
I think I misread your question the first time around. Allow me to expand on my answer a bit. My original answer with the web services assumes that you are rendering the content tree from some sort of "presentation tier" -- a different web site, a console app, or a WPF/WinForms app, etc.
You can get the recursive folder structure with something like this:
private FolderData GetFolderWithChildren(long folderId)
{
var folderApi = new Ektron.Cms.API.Folder();
var folderData = folderApi.GetFolder(folderId);
// This next method is marked as obsolete in v9.0;
// a newer overload is available in v9.0, but I
// don't know if it's available in v8.0
folderData.ChildFolders = folderApi.GetChildFolders(folderId, true);
}
I'm a little confused as to what exactly you're trying to accomplish. If you want to show the entire tree structure graphically, have you tried taking the code and markup from the edit view of the content widget and using it on your non-edit view?
I must say, your requirement that "I need to do all these in a single function" worries me a bit. Workarea content trees can get really large very quickly. If you're trying to load all of the folders and all the taxonomies and all the collections, etc. Then the user will likely be waiting a long time for the page to load, and you risk running into timeout issues.
-- Original Answer --
Ektron v8.0 doesn't have the 3-tier option, which is too bad because that would really make your job a lot easier. In v8.0, there are ASMX web services that you can reference, including:
/workarea/webservices/content.asmx
/workarea/webservices/webserviceapi/user/user.asmx
There are lots more than this; browse through the folders within /workarea/ to see what's available.
It's been a while since I've worked with these services, so I'm a little rusty...
Suppose you add references to those two services I listed above and name them ContentService and UserService. The first thing you'll want to do is set the authentication headers. Then you can call the service methods in much the same way as the old legacy apis.
var contentApi = new ContentService.Content();
contentApi.AuthenticationHeaderValue = new ContentService.AuthenticationHeader();
contentApi.AuthenticationHeaderValue.Username = username;
contentApi.AuthenticationHeaderValue.Password = password;
contentApi.AuthenticationHeaderValue.Domain = domain;
var userApi = new UserService.User();
userApi.AuthenticationHeaderValue = new UserService.AuthenticationHeader();
userApi.AuthenticationHeaderValue.Username = username;
userApi.AuthenticationHeaderValue.Password = password;
userApi.AuthenticationHeaderValue.Domain = domain;
var ud = userApi.GetUserbyUsername("jimmy456");
long folderID = 85;
bool recursive = true;
ContentData[] folderContent = contentApi.GetChildContent(folderID, recursive, "content_id");
I am using Kentico 7.0, ecommerce version.
I would like to create a sidebar menu that shows the eshop's top selling product categories. I am a kentico newbie so I am looking around for the correct terminology/guidance so that I can dig deeper.
The ideal approach in my opinion would be to be able to add a field on categories, which is used to filter categories for the menu. This way I can either have some kind of job that updates the fields automatically based on sales, OR provide a manual override for an admin to specify whether a category will show up on the menu. Of course some kind of weight would also be needed to specify menu item ordering.
Which way should I look?
HAve you tried using the "Top N products by sales" web part that is available? you can configure from which part of the content tree (products) it should pull the data - in the Path property you can use also a path expression or macro that is resolved dynamically so the web part can display different products in different sections.
There are many ways to code for Kentico. I personally find the API is a bit clunky and on quite a few occasions I was surprised that a method didn't exist requiring extra calls to get the required results. I do use the Kentico API more when putting data in to Kentico. Pulling it out I use the following.
STORED PROC
Write a SQL stored procedure to get the top X categories - GetTop5Categories.
Look at the COM_* tables, specifically COM_OrderItem, linking OrderItemSKUID back to COM_SKU (or View_COM_SKU_Joined if you need to get to the IA).
This will get you the top selling products with a group by, a count, a top X and an order by.
Then you can link to other tables such as CMS_Category or CMS_Document (depending on how you setup your categories). The bonus of this is that procs are compiled, you do all your data manipulation there (it's what MSSQL specialises in!) and you only send back what you need to in the result set.
DOMAIN (leveraging EF)
I usually create a separate class library project myproject.domain and put an Entity Framework edmx in there mapped back to the Kentico DB. Add the proc to the EDMX, then create a Function Import MyProject_GetTop5Categories from your newly imported proc.
WEB
add a reference to the domain project from your web project, and a 'using at the top of the codebehind of the control.
using myproject.domain;
then in Page_Load for the control:
...
if(!IsPostBack)
{
var entities = new MyProjectModelContainer();
var list = entities.MyProject_GetTop5Categories().ToList();
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder("<ul>");
foreach(var category in list)
{
sb.Append("<li><a href='"+category.Link+"'>" + category.Name + "</a></li>");
}
sb.Append("<ul>");
listPlaceHolder = sb.ToString();
}
handwritten so probably a typo or two in there :)
