Okay, this seems like a pretty simple thing to do. But I'm trying to use the Sitefinity 4 Fluent API to query for a page and populate the Text/NavigationUrl properties of a HyperLink. The text gets populated fine - but it has a hard time getting the Url from the page.
PageNode page = App.WorkWith().Page(PageId).Get();
PageLink.Text = page.Title;
PageLink.NavigateUrl = page.Urls.Where<PageUrlData>(pU => pU.RedirectToDefault == false).FirstOrDefault<PageUrlData>().Url;
The first and second line work fine (PageLink.Text shows the page title). On the third line, I get an "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error... FYI PageId is a Guid reference to a page.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Found the issue. PageNode requires "Telerik.Sitefinity.Pages.Model" as a reference. I had that, but later found that you ALSO need to include "Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Pages".
This adds a new method to my belt which I've used below (getFullUrl):
PageNode page = App.WorkWith().Page(PageId).Get();
PageLink.Text = page.Title;
PageLink.NavigateUrl = page.GetFullUrl();
Thanks

I'm not very used to Active Reports and I got an old software using those. The software provide some kind of stripped version of Active Reports Designer 7.
I got a PageFooter section with some fields and I want to remove one to display it only when it's the last page.
Basically, what I want to do is this in scripts :
if (this.PageNumber == this.PageCount) {
Field.Visible = true;
}
I only find one post here that say this.PageNumber should work, but it dosent.
So I tried to use the ReportInfo using the FormatString as {PageNumber}, but I don't seems to be able to read the value using this.ReportInfo.Value or this.ReportInfo.Text
I also tried to make a TextBox, using SummaryType : PageCount. But I'm still unable to read the Value.
So the question is :
How can I know the Page Number and Page Count in the script section?
Or how can I read the value of those textbox I created ?
Thanks a lot!
I think these docs cover what you are looking for:

my problem is the following. I'm currently making a blog-page with get-page, get-resources, form-it, and wayfinder. This question requires a decent amount of knowledge about Modx and snippits. I've got the page numberin and all working and i've got a template page with all my calls in it (called weblogTemplate). This template has the following wayfinder call in it :
[[!getResources? &parents=`5` &limit=`5` &tpl=`blogPost`]]
[[!getPage?
&elementClass=`modSnippet`
&element=`getResources`
&parents=`4`
&depth=`2`
&limit=`5`
&pageNavOuterTpl=`[[+first]][[+prev]][[+pages]][[+next]][[+last]]`
&pageVarKey=`page`
&pageFirstTpl=`<li class="controlFirst"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]">Eerste pagina</a></li>`
&pageLastTpl=`<li class="controlLast"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]">Laatste pagina</a></li>`
&pagePrevTpl=`<li class="controlPrev"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]"><<</a></li>`
&pageNextTpl=`<li class="controlNext"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]">>></a></li>`
&includeTVs=`1`
&includeContent=`1`
&tpl=`blogListPost`
]]
as you can see the parent is set here to id number 5. This is fine for the homepage but any child page connected in the blog page also uses the same template and so would also have the same menu as the parent. You could use a fix to simply create 1 template for a page and keep using a different getResource call but keep in mind that it is a blog im making, new pages keep getting added. The user can't (, and wouldn't even understand to) make a template and edit any code. A solution i thought of would be to make the parent id dynamic, so it adjust to whatever page it is currently on. So for example if it was on the page with id number 12 it would make the parent call set to 12 and so show all the content under id number 12. If anyone has any ideas / thoughts / solutions i would be very grateful to hear them.
(a link about wayfinder that i used.)
The best solution would be to use two templates - one for main and one for the blog pages and use in blog templates:
&parents=`[[*id]]`
The problem with the user solveds by setting default_template in the system settings.
This worked for me:
[[!getPage?
&elementClass=`modSnippet`
&element=`getResources`
&parents=`[[*id]]`
&depth=`0`
&limit=`10`
&pageNavOuterTpl=`[[+first]][[+prev]][[+pages]][[+next]][[+last]]`
&pageVarKey=`page`
&pageFirstTpl=`<li class="controlFirst"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]">Eerste pagina</a></li>`
&pageLastTpl=`<li class="controlLast"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]">Laatste pagina</a></li>`
&pagePrevTpl=`<li class="controlPrev"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]"><<</a></li>`
&pageNextTpl=`<li class="controlNext"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]">>></a></li>`
&includeTVs=`1`
&includeContent=`1`
&tpl=`blogListPost`
]]
Thanks to Vasis for the provided help.
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");
In version 18 of TextControl (http://www.textcontrol.com) there is supposed to be the ability to add background images/watermarks to the document, however I find that the behavior of the various overloads, etc is not working correctly and that the documentation is rather scarce on examples. Does any one have a working example of adding watermarks to a Word document through the ServerTextControl object?
This functionality didn't exist in previous versions, so I recognize it's still rather new, I just find it weird that doing something like
tx.Images.Add(draftImage, pageNumber, location, ImageInsertionMode.BelowTheText);
doesn't actually add the images to the document, but if I use another overload beforehand, it adds both?
I just need a loop along the lines of
foreach (TXTextControl.Page page in pages){
page.Select();
var location = tx.InputPosition.Location;
var pageNumber = page.Number;
tx.Images.Add(draftImage, pageNumber, location, ImageInsertionMode.BelowTheText);
}
where location is supposed to be the beginning of the page.
Any help would be appreciated, this should be simple!
Thank you
Finally got a response to this on their forum, it's not a complete solution, but it works for the most part. Figured I would follow up here, so that anyone who ends up on this page would get the help I wanted.

The website that im trying to make it work on is http://www.phone7forum.com/
The way I get it to show up on the index page is adding this code to the core index.php page right below this:
// Assign index specific vars
'S_AVATAR' => get_user_avatar(
$user->data['user_avatar'],
$user->data['user_avatar_type'],
$user->data['user_avatar_width'],
$user->data['user_avatar_height']
),
Then I can use {S_AVATAR} in my template but it ONLY shows up in the index file... So another phpbb guy suggested that I take that same code from above and place it in the includes/functions.php file right below this:
// The following assigns all _common_ variables that may be used at any point in a template.
I did that, and though it seemed to "try" and work I clicked on a few pages outside the index page and got a fatal error message:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_user_avatar() in /home/content/04/6534704/html/phone7forum/includes/functions.php on line 4385
Does anyone have any ideas?
IIRC get_user_avatar() is a function from functions_display. If you want to use it in the functions file, you have to include it.
Put it into an if condition to have it only load if you're on a page where function_display isn't already included:
if(!function_exists('get_user_avatar')){ include_once($phpbb_root_path . 'includes/functions_display.' . $phpEx); }
