I have to generate a PDF of a Quote Order on Approval. So, I'll have to do it via a Trigger.
But, I can't access a VF Page from Trigger since I'm formatting the content using the VF Page and renderas="PDF" in Page.
So, I tried to use a future class to do the same. But, there comes another issue regarding the usage of pagereference.getContent() or pagereference.getContentAsPDF() methods : these methods are not supposed to be used in a future class.
So, can anyone suggest me some idea to generate a pdf and attach it to quote.
For me this seems to be the easiest way to address that.
call into the trigger your XXPDFGenerator class adding the need record
create a class XXPDFGenerator
add generatePDF and attachPDF methods
generate the html into generatePDF method
convert to PDF and insert the attach as this sample
Attachment attachmentPDF = new Attachment();
attachmentPDF.parentId = record.Id;
attachmentPDF.Name = record.Name + '.pdf';
attachmentPDF.body = Blob.toPDF(pdfContent); //This creates the PDF content
insert attachmentPDF;

I am handling existing surveys via the API.
As part of this, I need each survey to have a custom variable defined for it.
I would like to use the API to add the custom variable, but the documentation states the FETCH would not do that, and PUT will replace rather than update the survey.
I am handling existing surveys, which I would not like to delete and replace, or am I miss-reading the docs?
Can I just send via PUT the following structure and it will keep everything else in place?
{
id : 112223333, //id of survey
custom_variables: {
'custom1':'custom1',
'custom2':'custom2'
}
}
I do see it resets the title, so, is this method safe? (i.e. wont remove any other data associated to this survey).
You're on the right track. You're going to want to use a PATCH HTTP request. That will only make updates, whereas a PUT request will replace the survey with the content you provide.
So your request will likely look something like this:
PATCH /v3/surveys/<survey_id>
{
"custom_variables": {
"custom1_name": "custom1_label",
"custom2_name": "custom2_label"
}
}
And that should only update your custom variables to the values you set. The docs do appear to suggest custom_variables won't get updated with a PATCH request but I think it does work.
I'm facing a problem and want to ask for a solution.
I'm working on an eclipse plugin project, in which an editor for a type of resource file is required. The resource file has similar structure like CSV file. My idea is to provide user the option to edit this type of file both in plain text format and also in an SWT table. Plain text is required for examining data and table provides more flexibility to editing such as sorting by column.
I have been able to create a MultiPageEditorPart, with one page of org.eclipse.ui.editors.text.TextEditor, and another page with a org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Table and several other widgets like search bar. The content of the resource file can be shown in the TextEditor, can also be edited and saved. On the other hand, the content can be loaded in the table too, sorting and searching all work good.
The problem is: when I edit a cell in the table, I want the change also reflected in the TextEditor, and vice versa. Since the resource file can be very large, I want the saving action happen only on the TextEditor, i.e. I don't want any modification in the table directly stored to resource file, but to mark the file dirty, but I can't figure out how. How can I for example get the content of EditorInput, check it line by line, and modify it outside TextEditor?
Or, are there more efficient ways to do this? Can anyone give any hints?
The IDocument used by the TextEditor gives you access to the document contents. Get this with something like:
IDocumentProvider provider = editor.getDocumentProvider();
IEditorInput input = editor.getEditorInput();
IDocument document = provider.getDocument(input);
IDocument has many methods for accessing lines such as:
int getLineOffset(int line);
int getLineLength(int line);
and methods for modify the text:
void replace(int offset, int length, String text);
I have problems and questions about this scheduler. I already tried to build and almost finished it. Although, I receive some errors...
What I do?
I create custom lightbox
mapping all the data in to table dbo.bEvent
I used custom eventbox like this : Scheduler.Templates.event_text = "({position_desc})" + " " + "{newrate}"
position_desc is actually from other table 'dbo.zone'
I create Views in SQL Server to retrieve data from 'newrate'. 'newrate' actually is a new attribute after I do some query to change rate "1000 to 1k" which is new rate save '1k'.
the views that I create by joining table "dbo.zone and dbo.bEvent"
Problem is?
when I save a new data or insert or update new data. my event box just give me '(Undefine)undefine'
all the data that i put in lightbox is save in dbo.bEvent
after I resfresh the page using f5 or navigate to next page or previous page then the data is updated.
Here i attach some screenshot. Thanks in advance

If you save the changes as described here http://scheduler-net.com/docs/lightbox.html#define_crud_logic ,
note that the method uses SchedulerFormResponseScript class to render the response.
Constructor takes instance of the event class to be returned to the client. Values of that event will be applied to the related event on the client-side
return (new SchedulerFormResponseScript(action, changedEvent));
make sure object that you send (changedEvent) has all data properties initialized. Basically the event should have the same data as when it is loaded from the Data action.
Alternative solution, which may be more straightforward, would be reload calendar data with the client-side api after saving event:
scheduler.clearAll();
scheduler.load("dataUrl", "json");

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 following an article that explains how to use the ICustomAttributeDataHandler class.
I am creating a custom column for the inbox screen, but the problem is that the value I set for my custom attribute is not being reflected on the screen.
As a test I am changing the task name to "whoKnows". But this code is not effecting what is output on the screen:
ICustomAttributeRecordSet.setCustomAttributeValue(i, "taskName", "whoKnows");
(I am able to print debug lines from my custom class when the inbox is viewed, so I know my code is being run.)
Someone on the comments of that article wrote:
the user must call the
"setCustomAttributesInQuery() method
on the dataprovider passing in a
string array of the custom attributes
...what does that meen? Could this be my problem?
thanks.
To be honest, I have already used Webtop, but just as an user. I found a post in the dm developer discussion group that can be useful, though:
For creating a custom column in the
doclist you dont need to go through
this complex procedures. You can use
custom attribute datahandlers for
this.
First in your object list component xml file add your custom column
definition in the "columns" tag. You
can even add static columns instead of
the documentum attributes.
Now create a class which implements the ICustomAttributeDataHandler.
Implement the default the methods getRequiredAttributes and the getData
function.
In getRequiredAttributes add attributes of the object that you are
looking for.
In your getdata method retrieve each row and then based on the
attribute that you see, just set the
value that you want to. 6) Finally
define your class in the app.xml file
There is a section in WDK developement
guide regarding
ICustomAttribuetDataHandlers. Look for
the topic named "Adding custom
attributes to a datagrid".
I'm not sure if this is the final solution, but I hope it helps!
To answer you question about setCustomAttributesInQuery()
every datagrid in WDK is backed by an underlying data provider. You can get this proivder by using the following code.
Datagrid datagrid = (Datagrid)getControl("doclist_grid",com.documentum.web.form.control.databound.Datagrid.class);
DataProvider dp = datagrid.getDataProvider();
Once you've done that, you can call
dp.setCustomAttributesInQuery(myArr);
I'm not actually sure if this is part of the solution to your problem, but you could try this and see where it gets you.
You have to configure the inbox component.
if using classic view, go to inboxlist component and add your custom attribute.
<column>
<attribute>CustomAttributeName</attribute>
<label>Custom Attribute Label</label>
<visible>true</visible>
</column>
Your custom attribute has to be in a custom type that is a sub type of dmi_queue_item, because inboxlist shows only dmi_queue_item objects.
Hope this helps,

Tejas.
This may be a non-issue, but based on your code, I can't tell if you're doing this:
ICustomAttributeRecordSet.setCustomAttributeValue(i, "taskName", "whoKnows");
or this:
ICustomAttributeRecordSet rs;
rs.setCustomAttributeValue(i, "taskName", "whoKnows");
You should be calling the setCustomAttributeValue method on the rs object instance, not on the interface.
