Is it possible to extend the Image type in Composite C1 in order to get fields for photographer and other stuff?
(If not, I'll probably settle for json in the Description field.)
Could you please explain a little bit your question ? I would like to answer as per my understanding.
So in my notion you are trying to get user values using input fields regarding your image ? If yes then answer is yes you can through razor or any kind of function provided by CMS and for that you need to define parameters like this :
public DataReference<IMediaFile> ImageSource { get; set; }
public string altText { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
[FunctionParameter(Label = "Short Description",
Help = "A short description ...",
DefaultValue = "(write your description here)",
WidgetMarkup = "<f:widgetfunction name='Composite.Widgets.String.TextArea' xmlns:f='http://www.composite.net/ns/function/1.0'><f:param name='SpellCheck' value='true' /></f:widgetfunction>")]
public string Description { get; set; }
So as Shown in above example using [FunctionParameter()] you can set label etc for the rest of the input parameters as well. So this will get the required info from the user and then with the help of razor you can create your <img> element. Let me know if we are on the same page as your question, then i think i can provide more light on the answer.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for reading this.

I want to send array using postman.
the request looks like this:
Im using postman to execute requests.
I found on the internet to send array via form-data or raw.
But I need them to be send as x-www-form-urlencoded.
I tried it this way:
But its wrong because value ads is string not array.
I had a bit of a more complex objects.
A class emaillist
public class emailist
{
public String id { get; set; }
public String emailaddress { get; set; }
public String name { get; set; }
}
A class emailRecipientList
public class emailRecipientList
{
public String procedure { get; set; }
public String server { get; set; }
public String filename { get; set; }
public String fileid { get; set; }
public List<emailist> emaillists { get; set; }
}
And a Task
public async Task<System.Xml.XmlElement> postUploadEmailRecipientList([FromBody] emailRecipientList recipientList)
Now to send the data as "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
If more elements need to get added just keep increasing the array index.
I tested it on a asp.net WebAPI 2 project and worked fine.
If you want to pass 1,2,3 in array ads , try with below screenshot
Just figured out how it's done, same as in html forms
cheers
I wasnt able to solve it via x-www-form-urlencoded even I found solutions like
ads[].id, ads[0].id, ads.id,... It wasnt working.
So I had to write it as raw. and in headers section change it this way.
And the body is:
{ "deleted": "false",
"ads":
[
{
"id": 15
},
{
"id": 20
}
]
}
check this image
i think you can just repeat the same key and give it different value id for example
Just Use the key without square brackets
For adding array as value, click Bulk Edit in body tab of postman.
It will allow you to input of key value pairs in blank area.
Enter the data of key value pair as below:
Id:1
FirstName:John
LastName:Smith
For adding bytes of Image in ImageData key array generate the byte array of image and enter or copy/paste as below:
Id:1
FirstName:John
LastName:Smith
ImageData:255
ImageData:216
ImageData:255
...
...
This will send the data in array for key ImageData.
Try the below screenshot:
My postman version is 7.13.0.
I would like to know how Solr indexes general link field or do we need to create computed index field for this ?
I have a helper class which is inheriting from SearchResultItem and it has below index field.
[IndexField("Call To Action")]
public LinkField CallToAction { get; set; }
This field is a general link field in sitecore.
Below is the search code which retrieves all the Event_card values except CallToAction (i.e. Always null). if I convert the field type from Link to string , I get the entire general link raw value which is difficult to parse at view and make it editable through glass mapper.
if (result.TotalSearchResults != 0)
{
//Load Event card data to be displayed on page
var resultItems =
result.Select(c => new Event_Card
{
Headline = c.Document.Headline,
Start_Date=c.Document.StartDate,
Content=c.Document.ContentData,
Call_To_Action=c.Document.CallToAction // this is always null
});
}
Here is my Entity class related to Event_Card
Event_Card
[global::System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("Team Development for Sitecore - GlassItem.tt", "1.0")]
[SitecoreField(IEvent_CardConstants.Call_To_ActionFieldName)]
public virtual Link Call_To_Action { get; set; }
IEvent_Card
[SitecoreField(IEvent_CardConstants.Call_To_ActionFieldName)]
Link Call_To_Action { get; set; }
public static partial class IEvent_CardConstants
{
public static readonly ID Call_To_ActionFieldId = new ID("4c296a05-d05f-47c5-8934-8801bec5be85");
public const string Call_To_ActionFieldName = "Call To Action";
}
Can anybody let me know How can I achieve this. If we need to use computed field , an example would be of great help.
Thanks in Advance !
I just quickly browsed and found useful link for you.
Map sitecore 8 general link field from Index
I think this Stack overflow question describes what you are saying and there is a link which might be helpful to you.
This may be a very simple question but I'm very new to EPiServer, so pls help.
I'm working on the EPiServer Relate demo site. I want to progrmatically create a new attribute on Episerver.Common.Security.IUser type. I have created attributes using CMS edit mode Admin options. But I want to know how to do this in code.
You may want to use CommunityAttributeBuilder (https://github.com/Geta/Community.EntityAttributeBuilder) that is similar to PageTypeBuilder for CMS. Currently it's supporting CMS6, I'll commit v7 as soon I will finish testing.
By decorating your class properties with special attribute you will find those created in target site.
For instance:
[CommunityEntity(TargetType = typeof(IUser))]
public class UserAttributes : IClubUserAttributes
{
[CommunityEntityMetadata]
public virtual int AccessType { get; set; }
[CommunityEntityMetadata]
public virtual string Code { get; set; }
[CommunityEntityMetadata]
public virtual int EmployeeKey { get; set; }
[CommunityEntityMetadata]
public virtual bool IsAdmin { get; set; }
}
Library will scan all assemblies and look for types decorated with CommunityEntity attribute, if found one then properties will be scanned and those decorated with CommunityEntityMetadata attribute will be automatically created in DB.
It also supports strongly-typed interface over IUser type:
var metadata = user.AsAttributeExtendable<UserAttributes>();
metadata.AccessType = info.AccessType;
metadata.Code = info.Code;
metadata.EmployeeKey = info.EmployeeKey;
metadata.IsAdmin = info.IsAdmin;
More info about library could be found - http://world.episerver.com/Blogs/Valdis-Iljuconoks/Dates/2012/6/Community-Attribute-Builder-final/
More info about internals (if interested) could be found here - http://www.tech-fellow.lv/2012/06/when-you-need-something-stronger/
You need to use the AttributeHandler class.
Joel has written a great guide with example code here
I'm experimenting with db4o as a data store, so to get to grips with it I thought I'd build myself a simple issue tracking web application (in ASP.NET MVC). I've found db4o to be excellent in terms of rapid development, especially for small apps like this, and it also negates the need for an ORM.
However, having come from a SQL Server/MySQL background I'm a little unsure of how I should be structuring my objects when it comes to relationships (or perhaps I just don't properly understand the way object databases work).
Here's my simple example: I have just two model classes, Issue and Person.
public class Issue
{
public string ID { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public DateTime? SubmittedOn { get; set; }
public DateTime? ResolvedOn { get; set; }
public Person AssignedBy { get; set; }
public Person AssignedTo { get; set; }
}
public class Person
{
public string ID { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string Email { get; set; }
public string Password { get; set; }
}
The ID properties are just GUID strings generated by the .NET Guid.NewGuid() helper.
So here's how I initially thought the application would work; please ignore any security concerns etc and assume we already have a few Person objects stored in the database:
User logs in. Query the database for the Person which matches the username and password, and store his/her GUID id as a session variable. Redirect to app home screen.
Logged in user creates a new issue ticket, selecting the user to assign it to from a drop-down list. They fill in the other details (Title, Description etc), and then submit the form.
Query the Person objects in the database (by their GUID ID's) to get an object representing the logged in user and one representing the user the ticket has been assigned to. Create a new Person object (populated with the posted form data), assign the Person objects to the Issue object's AssignedBy and AssignedTo properties, and store it.
This would mean I have two Person objects stored against each Issue record. But what happens if I update the original Person—do all the stored references to that Person in the various issue objects update, or do I have to handle that manually? Are they references, or copies?
Would it be better/more efficient to just store a GUID string for the AssignedBy and AssignedTo fields (as below) and then look up the original person based on that each time?
public class Issue
{
public string ID { get; set; }
public string Title { get; set; }
public string Description { get; set; }
public DateTime? SubmittedOn { get; set; }
public DateTime? ResolvedOn { get; set; }
public string AssignedByID { get; set; }
public string AssignedToID { get; set; }
}
I think I'm just stuck in a certain way of thinking which is confusing me. If someone could explain it clearly that would be most helpful!
Object-Databases try to provide the same semantics as objects in memory. The rule of thumb is: It works like objects in memory. Object databases store references between the objects in the database. When you update the object, that object is updates. And if you have a reference to that objects, you see the changed version.
In your case, the Issue-objects refer to the person object. When you update that person, all Issues which refer to it 'see' that update.
Of course, primitive types like int, strings, longs etc are handled like value objects and not a reference objects. Also arrays are handled like value objects in db4o, this means a array is stored together with the object and not as a reference. Everything else is stored as a reference, even collections like List or Dictionaries.
Please take a look at:
http://developer.db4o.com/Documentation/Reference/db4o-7.4/java/reference/html/reference/basic_concepts/database_models/object-relational_how_to.html
Best!
Ok, I asked this question before, but deleted it as the way I went about describing my problem was wrong.
Firstly, let me state that Im creating a .NET3.5 Winforms app using C# and Plinqo (Professional Linq to Objects) as my ORM. Here's my situation: I have a DataGridview that is populated from a SortableBindingList<T> - in my case, formed from a List<Task> which is simply represented as follows:
public class Task {
public long TaskID { get; set; }
public string TaskDescription { get; set; }
public enumPriority TaskPriority { get; set; }
public DateTime DueDate { get; set; }
public double PercentageComplete { get; set; }
}
Now, I want to provide a Dialog to my user to allow him/her to Filter this list. I envision passing in a list of property names and associated DataType into the Dialog that I can use to populate a ComboBox. So the user will choose which property they want to query from the comboBox and based on the selection the appropriate comparers and UI control will be made available for the user to enter in thier criteria. Lastly, it will contain an AND/OR togglebutton at the end which the user can use to add additional criterion. Each criterion will be an object of type FilterItem as shown below:
public class FilterItem {
public string MappedPropertyName { get; set; }
public enumComparer Comparer { get; set; }
public object FilterValue { get; set; }
public enumOpertor Operator { get; set; }
}
After the user constructs his/her query, I intend to pass this as a List<FilterItem> back to my calling form, which can then iterate thru the list and allow me to filter the original List<Task>.
This is all fine, and something that I can put together with ease. But I want to make sure that the ACTUAL filter mechanism I go with is as strongly-typed as possible, and not using bulit up strings like in the Dynamic Query Library. (I used to do something similar previously with ADO.NET, DataViews and dynamically constructing a RowFilter string)
I've read up on Joseph Albahari's PredicatBuilder and an article on tomasp.net, but I seem heavily confused with it and expression trees in general.
I sincerely seek your assistance in helping me better understand these concepts, and how to go about using it up so that my intended architecture can work with it.
Much appreciation!
Additionally, I know I can do something like:
private SortableBindingList<Task> GetSortedTaskList()
{
List<Task> list = new List<Task>();
var query = DataUtil.GetUserTasks(xSys.Current.UserID);
if (/*description condition met*/)
{
query = query.Where(x => x.TaskDescription.Contains(FilterDesc));
}
if (/*due date condition met*/)
{
query = query.Where(x => x.DueDate >= FilterDate);
}
if (/*priority condition met*/)
{
query = query.Where(x => x.TaskPriority == FilterPriority);
}
...
list = query.ToList();
return new SortableBindingList<ArcTask>(list);
}
but this does not seem very scalable and 'dynamic'.
