I'm building a report in Rally that finds all the defects which have been reopened, Then it looks to see if they have been reopened more than once. The table will list ID, description, creation date, then reopened dates. The problem is when I'm building the config file I have no idea how many reopened dates I'm going to need. I see ways of building the table itself dynamically but I cant figure out how to create the config file dynamically in an efficient way.
I had to do this too. You have to find all your information before you build the table.
You need :
-global array
-configuration object (mine is global but it doesn't have to be)
configSettings = [
{key: 'something1', header: 'something2', etc}
{key: ...
]
You need as many
{key: 'something1', header: 'something2', etc}'s
as columns in your table. For example, if you have "schedulestate" and "blocked", then you will need two of those.
Now, each time you loop looking for stuff, you create an object that has the same form as an item in the configuration settings.
localvar = {'something1' : "whatever you want to set it to", 'something2': 'set this to something'};
You can make something1 and something2 rally objects, like dropdowns or checkboxes or whatever. You can put hyperlinks in there, too.
After you have created localvar, you must push it onto the global array:
globalArray.push(localvar);
When you have finished looping, you can create the table.
Like Kyle said, it's hard to answer this without a code snippet from you.

I want to make data like 2022/12/15 (imported from Google Sheets at the moment of page load) display as "Dec 15" in one column, and as "Thu" in another column.
I found the format codes:
moment().format("MMM d"); // "Dec 15" and
moment().format("ddd"); // "Thu".
I read https://momentjs.com/docs/ and https://momentjs.com/guides/, but could not find:
Where do I enter that code?
Can I skip entering that code, and instead just enter this?:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#example').DataTable({
columnDefs: [
{
targets: 4,
render: DataTable.render.datetime('MMM d'),
},
],
});
});
Perhaps I should separate my questions into different posted questions, but I imagine it will be more helpful for future readers to find the combined challenges asked and answered in a single thread.
I'm using the WordPress plugin "Inline Google Spreadsheet Viewer", which is built on DataTables.
[Edit: I realized I should not paste that code into inline_gdocs_viewer.php, and intended to paste it into igsv-datatables.js. I could not however figure out where to paste within that file. What should I look for to know where to insert it? (The author of that plugin publicly announced that no more support will be given.) Should I post the contents of the js file somewhere so you can see it?]
[Edit 2: Would entering that code make column 5 always displayed in MMM d format, even if I want column 5 to be displayed in a different format? Shouldn't specifying what format to apply to which column happen when I create a page / post and use the shortcode to embed the spreadsheet?]
(I read the plugin's documentation and I read DataTables documentation.)
If my table doesn't have a name, what do I use instead of #example? Do I need to name my table? If so, how? (I tried to find the answer at, for example, https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp.)
The source for the longer code came from a live example where the dates were in column 5, but the code says "targets:4". To apply the code to column 3 (for example), should I enter targets:2? I read https://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.render, but bizarrely that didn't address this basic question.
If you're wondering if I upgraded DataTables from the old version that comes with Inline Google Spreadsheet Viewer, yes I did.
If you're wondering if I got the script array to call moment.js, I might have. Into the scripts array I added
,
'moment' => array(
'src' => plugins_url('moment.min.js', __FIL__),
'deps' => array( 'moment' )
)
I'm not sure about the "deps" part. Does it mean dependencies? Was I right to use "moment" twice in that code?
If you only know a possible answer to one of these questions, that's better than nothing, so please do share what you can.
I know the Moment team recommends you choose a different library than Moment for new projects, but DataTables to this day recommends Moment for sorting by Day of the week or sorting by Date.
Thanks
Using moment.js 2.29.2 and DataTables 1.13.1.
What I tried, and what I expected:
I read the documentation for all the programs, and I read forum discussions for all the programs, and I studied examples, expecting to find where to enter the code, but nowhere could I find what to do with it. It was always assumed that that part was already known.
I have a situation where one team decided to create a new work item type called clarification but we do not want to migrate this new work item type instead if possible convert that to a work item type task. Is this possible with this migration tool?
Yes it is. You have to use this in the config file :
"WorkItemTypeDefinition": {
"sourceWorkItemTypeName": "targetWorkItemTypeName"
},
then configure "FieldMaps" in the config file to convert every fields that are not identical to Tasks.
To collect e-commerce data, I created a Ga4 data layer with GTM.
value, shipping, tax and items. as below ('item' parameter is just test)
But my GA4 doesn't recognize the 'items' parameter ONLY. Look at the picture below
all of other parameters are doing well, but not 'items'
GA4 does not recognize the ecommerce 'items' parameter.
I can't find a solution.
Do you know why?
One way that works for only one item in the items array, is by defining a datalayer variable for each component of the items array.
Example defining a datalayer variable for each component of the items array
Dont forget to check the last parameter configuration on the image. Ecommerce; check Send ecommerce data, and select Datalayer.

Perhaps you are missing the "[]" when you define the variable "items" in the dataLayer.
When this happens, the variable items is recognized as an "object" and you need an "array". You can check this debugging with tag assitant in variables section.
This happens to me many times and you can either correct the data Layer of define a custom java script variables to add the "[]" to the variable.
items: [{ item_id: 'xxxxx', item_name: 'yyyy' , ... ]}
Good luck!

In a to-do list where users have both system-created items and their own items, how would you store the items?
A to-do list can have a mix of items. The system-created items can be modified and deleted just like user-created items. There difference is the titles and description text for the system-created items are initially pulled from a configuration. Many users can have the same system-created items. E.g. if two users want to paint rooms in their houses, they'd both get "buy paint" items.
Option 1
Save the full system-created items (including the title & text) with the user-created items.
Pros: Flexibility for user modifications since the items belong to the user and are not dependent on a central item configuration.
Cons: Lots of redundancy because there will be many users all with the same items.
Option 2
Save references to a configuration for system-created items with the user-created items.
Pros: Flexibility for system modifications since if we want to say "buy X-brand paint" instead of "buy paint", the change is easily reflected for all users with this item.
Cons: System-created items have to persist forever in the configuration even if the item is no longer relevant for new to-do lists because otherwise the user's reference will be broken.
Other options?
Thank you!
My initial thought is - what is your requirement? Your user-flows and project road-map might contain information to inform your design.
From your question "system-created items can be modified and deleted just like user-created items":
This indicates that you are going to have to have a way to track modifications to your 'system-created' templates per user or convert them to 'user-created' messages when they are edited.
This is more complexity than you seem to need
It seems much simpler to create messages from system templates, then have them be regular messages.
A bit of extra storage is not going to break the bank
You have not mentioned any case where you would need to operate over only system-created to-do's. But in this case, you could include created-by metadata.
I think the key here is whether you need to be able to modify a "system todo", and that change to be reflected in all the "user todos"...
If that's a requirement (it sounds sensible to me), your only option is Option 2 - the real con of Option 1 is once you copied the "system todo" as a "user todo", you cannot tell anymore whether they're related...
I'd go for a model similar to this, with 2 entities/tables:
ToDoTemplate
Integer id
String name
String description
ToDoItem
Integer id
ToDoTemplate template
Boolean completed = false
?String name = null
?String description = null
When you create a ToDoItem, you create it based on a ToDoTemplate (it may be a blank template), and you set the name and description as null, reusing the template name/description... Only if the user modifies their own ToDoItem is when you store that value... i.e.
String getName() {
return this.name != null ? this.name : this.template.name;
}
This is the most flexible of the approaches, and the only valid in many situations... Note the con you mention:
Cons: System-created items have to persist forever in the configuration even if the item is no longer relevant for new to-do lists because otherwise the user's reference will be broken.
This is not a con really - as long as there's one ToDoItem that uses a given ToDoTemplate, the template is still relevant, and of course there's no reason to remove it...
Say I want to make a module for say a set of GUI controls, how would I create a module that would load all of the GUI scripts, and should I put those scripts as modules themselves? I was thinking of having a system like this:
module("bgui", package.seeall)
dofile("modules/bgui/control.lua")
dofile("modules/bgui/container.lua")
dofile("modules/bgui/screenmanager.lua")
dofile("modules/bgui/form.lua")
dofile("modules/bgui/button.lua")
dofile("modules/bgui/textbox.lua")
dofile("modules/bgui/label.lua")
Would all the files run then have the variables they set as part of the bgui module?
Aka if in control.lua I had control = {...} would it be defined as bgui.control or should I make the control.lua a module itself, something like module("bgui.control") would that work as I intend?
Sorry if this isn't very clear had to write it in a rush, thanks :)
You are actually asking two questions here:
First, "is this way of loading lots of files on a module ok?"
The answer is - yes. It is kind of an unspoken standard to call that file mymodule/init.lua. Most people have ?/init.lua included on their path, so you can just write require('modules/bgui') and init.lua will be loaded automatically.
This said, you might want to remove some code duplication by using a temp table and a loop:
# modules/bgui/init.lua
local files = {
'control', 'container', 'screenmanager', 'form', 'button', 'textbox', 'label'
}
for _,file in ipairs(files) do dofile("modules/bgui/" .. file .. ".lua") end
Second, "are objects defined on one file available on bgui?".
The answer is also yes, as long as the file defining the variable is "done" (with dofile or require) before the file using the variable.
