I created a module which displays filenames,size,time created etc of files in a directory . I showed this in table using openerp web framework. now i want search and group by options for this data. How can i achive this? I am not saving any data in db. Any one please help!!
Well Anuradha,
I see that you have done the thing purely using the web (qWeb) so you will be needing separate widget to enable the search facility over your view, similler example can be found on chatter wall i.e. messaging menu.
Thank You

I am trying to create some dynamic forms using Piranha CMS. As far as I managed to learn it is not supported right now, so I'm looking for work arounds or alternatives.
What I want to do now is use the editor from the manager for other users. To be more precise: this is how the editor looks like inside my manager when I want to edit a page
I have a text input and a select, both are Fields and there are many more fields to be used.
I want the sys admin to create a page with a list of inputs like this, which right now are usable only by the admin. BUT make this list of inputs available for edit to other users as well. Is it possible?
I'm not sure how to extract this editor or behavior or even if it is possible. The problem is we really need the admin to be able to configure different form inputs for users as it is the main core of our functionality.
Any help/advice is highly appreciated, thank you!
The components in the management UI is not designed to be reused in the front-end application in any way. The edit models in the manager contains a lot of extra meta data since the UI is completely generic. If you want to build an edit UI in your front end application, and you're using MVC or Razor Pages, the simplest way is to.
Get the generic model instead of your strongly typed model, for example api.Pages.GetById(...) instead of api.Pages.GetById<T>(...).
Loop the available fields in your selected region (a region is an ExpandObject which can be casted to an IDictionary<string, object>).
Use the built in support in Razor by calling #Html.EditorFor(...) for the fields.
Using this approach you can easily create your own EditorTemplates for the different types of fields you use that will match the rendering in your client application.

I'm working with Sitefinity CMS and trying to figure out how to save the data from a "Forms Module" form to a separate database in the backend. Currently all the responses are saved into a table that is created when the form is built. What I want to do is re-route the save request to go through my code behind instead and save the data to Azure table storage. Is there a way to do this or by using the Forms Module am I stuck to saving the data to the table that is auto-created when the form is built? I've tried creating my own FormsSubmitRouteHandler as explained here (http://docs.sitefinity.com/for-developers-submit-forms-using-ajax-call#register-a-form-submit-route-handler) but I must be doing something wrong cause my code doesn't ever get hit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If I didn't explain myself well please let me know.
You should create a new provider that implements the FormsDataProvider class.
Currently Sitefinity uses OpenAccessFormsProvider - so you can use JustDecompile to see how that was implemented and probably do something similar.
Then you need to register your custom provider in the Administration > Settings > Advanced > Forms
If you don't mind having the form responses in the Sitefinity database and in your custom storage, then you can subscribe to the IFormEntryCreatedEvent and in your event handler you can write the logic of saving the form respose somewhere else.
See this article for more details: http://docs.sitefinity.com/for-developers-forms-events#iformentrycreatedevent
Have in mind that this will result in form responses being saved in both, the SF datbase and your custom storage. Also, you won't be able to manage the entries stored in the custyom storage through Sitefinity backend. If that's your goal, then Vesselin's answer is the correct way to go, but more complicated.
Context:
The Web interface coded in .NET (Grantee Portal for nonprofits applying for grants) is pulling information from the Salesforce Page Layout.
The Salesforce user we use to connect the Web interface with Salesforce via API has 'view all and edit all' rights
Issue:
As it is now, if a field is defined as Read-Only on the Page Layout in Salesforce, it is still editable on the web page (the Salesforce User we use has to have 'view all and edit all' rights)
What we are trying to achieve:
IF a field is defined as Read-Only on the Salesforce Page Layout
THEN the same field should be Read-Only on the Web interface page
Question:
To achieve the above, I guess that I need to fetch the field property for the Page Layout via API. Any ideas on how to do so?
Thank you!

You'll need Metadata API (the set of webservices that let you add new objects, fields, picklist values or even create classes & run unit tests).
Here's the API Guide: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api_meta/index.htm
Depending on how often you modify layouts you might decide "screw it, I'll just use Eclipse IDE". In that case you'd download all page layouts (they're XML files), point your C# app to them and let the magic happen.
Slightly more advanced is to use Migration Tool (Ant / Java based application that can be scripted for periodic download of same stuff).
Super advanced would be to use this API guide to write it in C#. It's not rocket science (here's the specification for Page Layout object and here's the Java sample code for the operation that retrieves the metadata... sorry, no C#). Actually you might be better off looking at this example though: http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/api/Content/sforce_api_calls_describelayout.htm
Seeing that you'll probably want to cache this info somewhere anyway (I can't imagine your user coming to your page, having to wait for the webservice callout to complete, then having his UI rendered) - pick your poison.
Or share the work within the team (1 person kicks off with files downloaded with Eclipse, other tries to figure out the C# code to retrieve them on demand).
My project aims to provide the end user the ability to dynamically design forms in run-time. That would be something like a simple web based IDE to design web-forms.
The end user should be able enter all the components and their respective properties of the web form at runtime.
A web form should be generated based on the components and properties defined by the user and the final form should be displayed.
Is reflections the best ways to do this? If so could you please point me an appropriate page as to how I would have to do this?
Are there other ways to implement this apart from reflections?
I tried researching on web-parts but , I came to realize that web parts was not what I intended to do with the project because I would not know any of the properties of the components in advance during compile time.
Does it have to be webforms and its controls running from server ( from System.Web.UI )?
Just to share some experience, we have a huuge codegeneration like applications, which given parameters ( which could be input like ones or the whole database depending of the case ) can generate html submiting forms to server side using jquery and/or dojo ajax features...
because we want simplicity, we decided we would not generate server side controls dinamicaly
the bottom line is, I don't know your requirement, but maybe you want to do something similar.
I am currently investigating the possibilities of different CMSs for a company-site.
Done quite a few projects in classical ASP, ASP.NET, Joomla etc..
I would like to use Umbraco 5 for the first time.
For that project we have a SQL-Table with Job-Opportunities:
like: JobName, Department, Description, etc..
These should be listed on a page. In ASP.NET I would use something like a Repeater, etc.. with PageSize option and automatic paging.
In the Backend (Backoffice in Umbraco, I assume) there has to be an Insert/Edit/Delete Page with the corresponding input boxes, which are maintained by the company employees, not by web-developers.
Which route should I look at? I am completely stuck, is there an example anywhere?
Can I use my own data-tables, or could/should I use the Umbraco content tables for this?
Thank you,
Reinhard
Welcome to Umbraco.
If you choose to use a pre-existing database, you're going to need the following pieces:
an ORM to access read/write the data
a custom hive provider for that data to allow for Umbrace to read it as an entity
a custom tree to allow for editing and adding data in the backoffice
a macro to display the content on the frontend.
http://web-matters.blogspot.com/2011/11/umbraco-5-hive-provider-tree-editor.html
is a great place to start.
As you're probably picking up on, this is a lot of work.. so, most importantly: Are you trying to maintain two applications?
If so, do you really need to be able to edit the list in both applications? Your task would be much simpler if you only allowed editing from the other application, and displayed the read-only list using web services.
If not, ditch the custom database. Umbraco 5 is a full EAV/CR system, so unlike some CMS products, you'll be able to represent any rdbs structure you can imagine. The simplest way would be to create a custom document type with those properties to represent a job opportunity, and store those job opportunities on a new node in the content tab.
