2sxc - Access other app's entities - dotnetnuke

In some contexts, entities are common to a group of apps. For example, I use a list of departments in my institution for at least 4 apps (different projects that cannot and should not be merged in a single app). Another example is the type of employes or even the list of employees.
Is it possible to create an entity accessible to every app in an easy and fast way?
I searched it, but can't find any documentation about this.
Is it related to the dotnet external use?
// the app id
var appId = 42;
// create a simple app object to then access datavar appSimple =
ToSic.SexyContent.Environment.Dnn7.Factory.App(appId);
// example getting all data of content type Tagvar tags =
appSimple.Data["Tag"];

If you are working with razor and just want to access the data in code, you can create an AppDataSource and tell it what App you need. Here's some Pseudo-code:
var otherApp = CreateSource<AppDataSource>();
otherApp.ZoneId = 74;
otherApp.AppId = 203;
// do this after setting the values
var categories = otherApp.Data["Categories"];

Ecommerce App in CodenameOne

Hi I am a newbie in CodenameOne am now creating a eCommerce app using CodenameOne resource editor ,I have used multilist for displaying products . I have checked the checkbox feature wherein I got the checkbox for all my items .My question here is by code in statemachine how do I get the name of product checked by the user and how to get whether the checkbox is checked or not .I tried implementing findMultiList().getSelected() but it returns always true if I check r uncheck.
Please help me also it would be great if you could tell me how to integrate google drive in my project because I need to pull data from excel sheet and populate it in the list.
You need to get the model and traverse the elements within it:
ListModel<Map<String, Object>> model = (ListModel<Map<String, Object>>)findMultiList(c).getModel();
ArrayList<Map<String, Object>> items = new ArrayList<>();
for(int iter = 0 ; iter < model.getSize() ; iter++) {
Map<String, Object> current = model.getItemAt(iter);
String checked = (String)current.get("emblem");
if(checked != null && "true".equals(checked)) {
items.add(current);
}
}
I haven't tried this code but it should work. Notice that the name "emblem" is the default name used for the MultiButton/MultiList but you can change it to be anything.
You can place a break point on the for loop and inspect the map elements as you traverse them to see how this works.
Codename One doesn't have dedicated support for google drive api yet...
However, it does support Firebase (noSQL, so no table type data)
THis means you'll have to work with variable pairs.
There are resources for table databases, though :

check out these libraries

These resources should help; good luck with your development :)

ndb query by KeyProperty

I'm struggling with a KeyProperty query, and can't see what's wrong.
My model is
class MyList(ndb.Model):
user = ndb.KeyProperty(indexed=True)
status = ndb.BooleanProperty(default=True)
items = ndb.StructuredProperty(MyRef, repeated=True, indexed=False)
I create an instance of MyList with the appropriate data and can run the following properly
cls = MyList
lists = cls.query().fetch()
Returns
[MyList(key=Key('MyList', 12), status=True, items=..., user=Key('User', 11))]
But it fails when I try to filter by user, i.e. finding lists where the user equals a particular entity; even when using the one I've just used for insert, or from the previous query result.
key = lists[0].user
lists = cls.query(cls.user=key).fetch()
Returns
[]
But works fine with status=True as the filter, and I can't see what's missing?
I should add it happens in a unit testing environment with the following v3_stub
self.policy = datastore_stub_util.PseudoRandomHRConsistencyPolicy(probability=0)
self.testbed.init_datastore_v3_stub(
require_indexes=True,
root_path="%s/../"%(os.path.dirname(__file__)),
consistency_policy=self.policy
)
user=Key('User', 11) is a key to a different class: User. Not MyList
Perhaps you meant:
user = ndb.KeyProperty(kind='User', indexed=True)
Your code looks fine, but I have noticed some data integrity issues when developing locally with NDB. I copied your model and code, and I also got the empty list at first, but then after a few more attempts, the data is there.
Try it a few times?
edit: possibly related?
google app engine ndb: put() and then query(), there is always one less item

LDAPMAP - Mapping SAP data to LDAP via RSLDAPSYNC_USER function

We are looking at syncing some of our LDAP (Active Directory) data with what is stored in SAP. SAP provides several function modules that allow you to write a custom program to handle mapping the data, but we are looking to use the provided solution that makes use of RSLDAPSYNC_USER.
The issue I'm having is understanding how the mapping of fields is performed in LDAPMAP. In particular, when performing the Mapping Overview, where are the structures as shown below defined?
Also, we have a function module that is currently available for grabbing all of the fields we would like to send to LDAP, but can the screen shown below be used to call a custom function module to grab the data I require? If so, then please give an example.
Thanks,
Mike
I am not sure if that is what you ask. As an answer to your second question:
You can give attributes that you want to get. The LDAP_READ function will return the results in entries parameter.
CALL FUNCTION 'LDAP_READ'
EXPORTING
base = base
* scope = 2
filter = filter
* attributes = attributes_ldap
timeout = s_timeout
attributes = t_attributes_ldap
IMPORTING
entries = t_entries_ldap "<< entries will come
EXCEPTIONS
no_authoriz = 1
conn_outdate = 2
ldap_failure = 3
not_alive = 4
other_error = 5
OTHERS = 6.
Entries parameter looks like:
Attributes parameter looks like:

Accessing location field in Drupal 7, via hosting entity object and wrapper

I'm using Location module (particularly its Location CCK part) with Drupal 7. Added location field 'field_location' to User (as an example of hosting entity), and initialized location values for test users in user edit interface. However, I'm unable to access location data of the current user:
global $user;
$user_id = $user->uid;
$loc = $user->field_location;
or:
$wrapper = entity_metadata_wrapper('user', $user_id);
$loc = $wrapper->field_location;
The statements with $loc don't work for object and wrapper (while both user object and wrapper are initialized successfully). Same for:
$loc = $wrapper->field_location[0];
$loc = $wrapper->field_location->raw();
I've read a number of posts on this topic, however haven't found a workable solution, would appreciate insights on this.
The location module, by itself, does not support the Entity API/Metadata Wrapper out-of-box. However, it is packaged with the Location Entity module, which will enable it for entity api support.
Once enabled,
$wrapper = entity_metadata_wrapper('user', $user_id);
$loc = $wrapper->field_location->value();
Works as expected.
If you want a quick workaround, you can also do:
$user_wrapper = entity_metadata_wrapper('user', $user_id);
$raw_user = $user_wrapper->raw();
$loc = $raw_user->field_location['und'][0];
This isn't elegant, but it's a solution without additional modules. Take your pick.

What is the best practice way to initialize an actor from the database

I have a top level actor (under the guardian), called Groups which on startup needs to load the list of groups from the database and create a bunch of child actors based on those groups in the database.
I have placed the database load code inside of the preStart function as I don't want any messages to be processed before the groups are loaded.
Currently my Groups actor looks like this;
var groups: Map[String, ActorRef] = Map()
override def preStart() = {
groups = getGroupsFromDB() map createGroup
}
def createGroup(pair: (String, Long)) = {
val (name, id) = pair
val group = context.actorOf(Props(new Group(id, name)), name = name)
name -> group
}
However I don't believe this is the best way to handle this, as what happens if the database server is not available? So what is the best pratice way of handling data initialization from a database?
The Akka documentation explains how to supervise top level actors for fault-tolerance.
You can apply the principles there to manage the exceptions you may find if the DB is not available.
