I am developing a website using Yii. I want to change the application name dynamically in program. I know I have to change the Yii::app()->name value. But I know where should I put it to overwrite what is written in config.php file.
Where should I put it?
$name is a public value of CApplication, you can just set it theoretically.
But this is not a good idea, the name is used in getId() function, and the id is used as keyPrefix in cache and maybe anywhere else. So don't change the application name dynamically.
If what you want is changing the page title dynamically, you can just set the CController::$pageTitle.
Old question maybe but I just spent an hour fixing this and couldnt find an easy fix so here it is:
You can change Yii::app()->name dynamically as long as you are not using any caching component.
If you are using caching you can still set the name variable dynamically if you give the entire application a static id (the id variable of the CApplication class).
This is because the CWebUser component prefixes a stateKeyPrefix variable to the session lookup, which if not set looks for the CApplication id which if not set is a hashed version of the application name. So if you set either of these variables in your configuration file you are good to go.
Why do you need to change it? Anywhere you are displaying Yii::app()->name just use something like getAppName() and write a function to pull it out of the database.

I am currently trying to extract property values from my properties file, but am running into some problems. I can't test this in ML query console, because the properties file doesn't exist there. I am currently trying to grab the values of the file like this
let $port := #{#properties["ml.properties-name"]}
I've also looked at
xdmp:document-get-properties(
$uri as xs:string,
$property as xs:QName
however that is limited to .xml files I believe. Does anyone have a way/work-around of accessing these values? I can't seem to find one I've looked at some documentation on Marklogic's website, but can't seem to get anything to work. The way I was accessing before was in ruby, through monkey-patching allowing me to access those private fields.The problem with that is the ruby script I call is only called once, while my .xqy file is ran every minute that sends args to another function. I need to access those args from the properties file, right now I just have them hard-coded in. Any thoughts?
Thanks
You cannot access deployment properties like that, but you can pass them along with deployment. If you create a new REST app with latest Roxy, you should get a copy of this config.xqy added to src/config/:
https://github.com/marklogic-community/roxy/blob/master/deploy/sample/custom-config.xqy
That file is treated specially when deployed to the modules database. Properties references are replaced inside there. In your case, add another variable, and give it a string value following the #ml.xyz pattern:
declare variable $c:port := "#ml.property-name";
You can then import the config lib, and use it in your code.
These so-called Deployer Substitutions are described in more detail on the Roxy wiki:

We are trying to add one additional feature to our method for TBO. The feature needs to be executed only when a new document for that object type is imported and should not be executed in any other case like checkin checkout or any changes in attributes.
However the new code is getting called everytime we make any changes to attribute to that document.
We have put that code in doSave() method.
I tried isNew method for distinguish between newly imported Document and other scenarios, however could not get success, may be missing the usage details of the method.
Can anyone suggest anything?
We are on Documentum version 7.2.
I always use isNew() method to check is object new or versioned, I don't remember having problems with it at any DFC version.
Only one thing that comes in mind is to make sure you don't use super.doSave() while inside the code since right after it method will return false.
But this is expected behaviour.
If you really need to do this - some calulations based on programatically preset data - make sure you use value saved within local variable throughout your code.
If you think you are experiencing bug with the method try with another DFC version or report a bug to the Support.
I am attempting to build a little modification in our code to allow easier A/B testing.
I'd like to know if I can somehow
have my regular code under the /templates directory
have any a/b code under /templates/_abtests/, but also follow the same hierarchy as the regular code. for example... an ab test can overwrite a file like '/templates/foo.tpl', and use instead '/templates/_abtests/testfoo/foo.tpl'
I tried changing the template directory when in a test. Right before calling the display method, I would check if a user is in a test, and if so, set up the template_dir accordingly. I'd assign an array with the 'ab' directory first, then the default. I am using Smarty2.
the problem with this is that it caches the first instance, and uses that as the template for the baseline and ab test case. ie: i have a parameter to force me into a test bucket, but the template is the same.
thoughts on how to achieve this? goal is to not have to add a bunch of template hooks (if/else) in the templates. and achieve this by simple template/file includes.
I believe that the solution to my problem could be to put templates into folders. ie: /templates/base/, /templates/test_foo/, etc.". then in my template_dir setting, set the array up based on what test we are in.
I had tried this with mobile/desktop before, and forgot about this solution.
I can extend the smarty_template class and override the display method to change the template_dir. adding the test directory first.
I am interested in loading some system params into the Yii::app()->params array from the database using a CActiveRecord extension called SiteSetting.
Unfortunately I couldn't find much advice online for this, but believe I can place a method in SiteSetting called loadSiteSettingsToAppParams and add the setting...
'onBeginRequest'=>array('SiteSetting', 'loadSiteSettingsToAppParams')
...to the config.
I would like to know if I can only add this onBeginRequest to the Yii::app() somewhere within the SiteSetting class (to keep my code modular) and whether this is a sensible approach.
Thanks in advance.
Just re-read your question now and I'd try to provide answers.
To the question "I would like to know if I can only add this onBeginRequest to the Yii::app() somewhere within the SiteSetting class (to keep my code modular)": the answer is, You're not restricted to just a Class. You could (theoretically) place it anywhere within your application and also in the config.php file.
As to whether it's a sensible approach, it depends on the time it would take to request those settings from the database and whether you're prepared to add that time to your HttpRequest response time. The onBeforeRequest is fired before every HttpRequest and if the loadSiteSettingsToAppParams method consumes lots of time, you're adding that time to your HttpRequest response time.
I'd advise that you fetch those settings once after login and then update them only when they change (the settings are updated). This way, you could place the call to loadSiteSettingsToAppParams in the UserIdentity class and call it after a successful login.
That's just how I'd go about doing this though.
Hope I helped.
The easy & nice way to accomplish this by using a comoponent like SettingComoponent and place in the components directory protected/components then pre load this component in the preload section like this preload => array('log', 'setting', ...). That's it and now you can call this component anywhere you want like Yii:app()->setting->whatever.
I hope this is answer can be useful for you.
I first apologize for my poor english level and maybe for the stupidity of my question ;)
I am on an alfresco project to learn how it works.
I have to browse programatically my content repository and gather datas all along. In order to do that I guessed I had to use a ContentReader (I get from my ContentService) but the method getReader wants a nodeRef and a propertyQualifiedName.
I am ok with the nodeRef, I get what it's needed for.
But the propertyQualifiedName puzzles me, I barely get what it is but I frankly don't get how it is used.
Reading some alfresco forum threads I get more and more scared that I dont even get how a reader works, I somewhere saw that a reader can read only one node and only one time per instance.
If anyone knows a bit about the Java API for Alfresco Content Repository use I am all hears !
Cheers all !
ContentReader is a wrapper class for the content of a given property of a node. So, in order to get an instance of ContentReader you'll have to give the node from which you the property from and the property qualified name.
As for the qualified name, every node property is identified by the conjunction of two string values:
The property namespace. Usually an uri like "http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0"
The property local name. Usually a simple string like "created".
These two values put together constitute the property qualified name. There are constants defined for most standard properties of the alfresco model in the org.alfresco.model.ContentModel interface. For example, to get the creator of a node you would do something like:
contentService.getReader(myNode, ContentModel.PROP_CREATOR).getContentString();
