Is there a way to get the module root folder (folder under DesktopModules) of the ActiveModule from a DnnApiController?
In PortalModuleBase I would use the ControlPath property to get to the same root folder I'm looking for.
As #MitchelSellers points out, it doesn't appear to be in the API so you have to figure it out yourself.
Since the API gives us the ActiveModule which is a ModuleInfo that's probably the best way to get at it.
If your modules use a pretty standard consistent naming then the following "best guess" method should work pretty well
public static string ControlPath(ModuleInfo mi, bool isMvc = false)
{
return isMvc
? $"/DesktopModules/MVC/{mi.DesktopModule.FolderName}"
: $"/DesktopModules/{mi.DesktopModule.FolderName}";
}
The other way is to look at the ModuleDefinitions of our module and grab the first ModuleControl and look at it's ControlSrc to see it's path.
public static string ControlPath(ModuleInfo mi)
{
var mdi = mi.DesktopModule.ModuleDefinitions.First().Value;
var mci = mdi.ModuleControls.First().Value; // 1st ModuleControl
return Path.GetDirectoryName(mci.ControlSrc);
}
The second method is really messy (and untested) but should give you the actual folder path where the controls are installed, over the other best guess method above.
From the API's it doesn't appear so, you should know the path for this though since you are inside of your module, the only concern is if you are inside of a child portal you need the prefix, which you should be able to get. I'd just use Server.ResolveClientUrl() to get it.

I'm trying to add search options on my search form that would allow the user to ensure that all the words he searched for are in the results, or at least one, or an "exact match".
I've found MinimumMatch and it's perfect for that.
I've made a custom viewhelper that I placed in my Result.html, it takes as parameter the type of search the user wants (atLeastOne, AllWords, etc...) and I've dug a bit in the source code and it seems I can override values of the current Solr Typoscript by passing an array to a mergeSolrConfiguration function.
So I tried something like that as a draft to see how it works :
public static function renderStatic(array $arguments, Closure $renderChildrenClosure, RenderingContextInterface $renderingContext)
{
$previousRequest = static::getUsedSearchRequestFromRenderingContext($renderingContext);
$usedQuery = $previousRequest->getRawUserQuery();
$contextConfiguration = $previousRequest->getContextTypoScriptConfiguration();
$override['plugin.']['tx_solr.']['search.']['query.']['minimumMatch'] = '100%';
$contextConfiguration->mergeSolrConfiguration($override, true, true);
return self::getSearchUriBuilder($renderingContext)->getNewSearchUri($previousRequest, $usedQuery);
}
But it simply doesn't work. Solr keeps using the site's Typoscript config instead of my overriden one.
I saw there was a way to also override the Typoscript of the filters, with setSearchQueryFilterConfiguration so I gave it a try with :
public static function renderStatic(array $arguments, Closure $renderChildrenClosure, RenderingContextInterface $renderingContext)
{
$previousRequest = static::getUsedSearchRequestFromRenderingContext($renderingContext);
$usedQuery = $previousRequest->getRawUserQuery();
$previousRequest->getContextTypoScriptConfiguration()
->setSearchQueryFilterConfiguration(['sourceId_intS' => 'sourceId_intS:7']);
return self::getSearchUriBuilder($renderingContext)->getNewSearchUri($previousRequest, $usedQuery);
}
But nope, it keeps using the configuration set in the website's template, completely ignoring my overrides.
Am I going the wrong way with this ? Is the thing I'm trying to do not possible technically ?
I need to read a text file with readLines() and I've already found this question, but the code in the answers always uses some variation of javaClass; it seems to work only inside a class, while I'm using just a simple Kotlin file with no declared classes. Writing it like this is correct syntax-wise but it looks really ugly and it always returns null, so it must be wrong:
val lines = object {}.javaClass.getResource("file.txt")?.toURI()?.toPath()?.readLines()
Of course I could just specify the raw path like this, but I wonder if there's a better way:
val lines = File("src/main/resources/file.txt").readLines()
Thanks to this answer for providing the correct way to read the file. Currently, reading files from resources without using javaClass or similar constructs doesn't seem to be possible.
// use this if you're inside a class
val lines = this::class.java.getResourceAsStream("file.txt")?.bufferedReader()?.readLines()
// use this otherwise
val lines = object {}.javaClass.getResourceAsStream("file.txt")?.bufferedReader()?.readLines()
According to other similar questions I've found, the second way might also work within a lambda but I haven't tested it. Notice the need for the ?. operator and the lines?.let {} syntax needed from this point onward, because getResourceAsStream() returns null if no resource is found with the given name.
Kotlin doesn't have its own means of getting a resource, so you have to use Java's method Class.getResource. You should not assume that the resource is a file (i.e. don't use toPath) as it could well be an entry in a jar, and not a file on the file system. To read a resource, it is easier to get the resource as an InputStream and then read lines from it:
val lines = this::class.java.getResourceAsStream("file.txt").bufferedReader().readLines()
I'm not sure if my response attempts to answer your exact question, but perhaps you could do something like this:
I'm guessing in the final use case, the file names would be dynamic - Not statically declared. In which case, if you have access to or know the path to the folder, you could do something like this:
// Create an extension function on the String class to retrieve a list of
// files available within a folder. Though I have not added a check here
// to validate this, a condition can be added to assert if the extension
// called is executed on a folder or not
fun String.getFilesInFolder(): Array<out File>? = with(File(this)) { return listFiles() }
// Call the extension function on the String folder path wherever required
fun retrieveFiles(): Array<out File>? = [PATH TO FOLDER].getFilesInFolder()
Once you have a reference to the List<out File> object, you could do something like this:
// Create an extension function to read
fun File.retrieveContent() = readLines()
// You can can further expand this use case to conditionally return
// readLines() or entire file data using a buffered reader or convert file
// content to a Data class through GSON/whatever.
// You can use Generic Constraints
// Refer this article for possibilities
// https://kotlinlang.org/docs/generics.html#generic-constraints
// Then simply call this extension function after retrieving files in the folder.
listOfFiles?.forEach { singleFile -> println(singleFile.retrieveContent()) }
In order to have the same url that work for both Jar or in local, the url (or path) needs to be a relative path from the repository root.
..meaning, the location of your file or folder from your src folder.
could be "/main/resources/your-folder/" or "/client/notes/somefile.md"
The url must be a relative path from the repository root.
it must be "src/main/resources/your-folder/" or "src/client/notes/somefile.md"
Now you get the drill, and luckily for Intellij Idea users, you can get the correct path with a right-click on the folder or file -> copy Path/Reference.. -> Path From Repository Root (this is it)
Last, paste it and do your thing.
I am trying to use C library source files inside my Cocoa Framework which has function named
void swe_set_ephe_path(char *path);
Which will basically be
swe_set_ephe_path(”C:\\SWEPH\\EPHE”);
for windows.
This library contains other data files which only work after this function is set.
When imported to Swift the function looks like this
swe_set_ephe_path(path: UnsafeMutablePointer<Int8!>)
Since i want to bundle up all the data files in framework and use it in my application, i have done something like this
public class SwissEphemeris {
public init() {
let path = Bundle.main.bundlePath
let swePath = UnsafeMutablePointer<Int8>(mutating: (path as NSString).utf8String)
swe_set_ephe_path(swePath)
}
}
But it seems it's not working and the functions which needs data to be searched in files are not able to operate.
If anybody interested to look into Swiss library documentation, check here for the link,
https://www.astro.com/swisseph/swephprg.htm#_Toc505244836
There are two problems:
First, the resource files are in the “Resources” subdirectory of the framework, not in the top-level framework directory. You can obtain a path to that directory with
let resourcePath = Bundle(identifier: "com.Abhi.SwissFramework")!.resourcePath!
or with
let resourcePath = Bundle(for: type(of: self)).resourcePath!
I suggest to force-unwrap the optionals because you know that the bundle and the resources directory exist. A failure would indicate a build problem which should be detected early.
Second, the C function takes a char * argument even though it does not mutate the passed string. Here you can use the approach from UnsafeMutablePointer<Int8> from String in Swift:
resourcePath.withCString {
swe_set_ephe_path(UnsafeMutablePointer(mutating: $0))
}
Even better: use the dedicated method withUnsafeFileSystemRepresentation() to get the file system representation of the resource path as a C string:
let resourceURL = Bundle(for: type(of: self)).resourceURL!
resourceURL.withUnsafeFileSystemRepresentation {
swe_set_ephe_path(UnsafeMutablePointer(mutating: $0))
}
Tried to find a solution, but I got always stuck a the docs or at answers include other bundles. In the documentation of the dynamic router you can find the hint:
"Of course you can also have several parameters, as with normal Symfony routes. The semantics and rules for patterns, defaults and requirements are exactly the same as in core routes."
Thats it.
...
/foo/{id}/bar
I tried (seems not) everything to get it done.
Same for all tries:
I tried it to apply a variable pattern and a child route.
use Symfony\Cmf\Bundle\RoutingBundle\Doctrine\Phpcr\Route as PhpcrRoute;
$dm = $this->get('cmf_routing.route_provider');
$route = new PhpcrRoute();
$route->setPosition( $dm->find( null, '/cms/routes' ), 'foo' );
$route->setVariablePattern('/{id}');
$dm->persist( $route );
$child = new PhpcrRoute();
$child->setPosition( $route, 'bar' );
$dm->persist( $child );
$dm->flush();
With or without default value and requirement only '/foo/bar' and '/foo/*' return matches, but '/foo/1/bar' prompts me with a 'No route found for "GET /foo/1/bar"'.
...
Just now I nearly got it done.
use Symfony\Cmf\Bundle\RoutingBundle\Doctrine\Phpcr\Route as PhpcrRoute;
$dm = $this->get('cmf_routing.route_provider');
$route = new PhpcrRoute();
$route->setPosition( $dm->find( null, '/cms/routes' ), 'example_route' );
$dm->persist( $route );
$route->setPrefix( '/cms/routes/example_route' );
$route->setPath( '/foo/{id}/bar' );
$dm->flush();
If prefix is '/cms/routes' and name is 'foo' everything works fine. But now that I got this far, assigning a speaking name would round it up.
Thanks in advice!
You got quite close to the solution, actually!
When using PHPCR-ODM, the route document id is its path in the repository. PHPCR stores all content in a tree, so every document needs to be in a specific place in the tree. We then use the prefix to get a URL to match. If the prefix is configured as /cms/routes and the request is for /foo, the router looks in /cms/routes/foo. To allow parameters, you can use setVariablePattern as you correctly assumed. For the use case of /foo/{id}/bar, you need to do setVariablePattern('/{id}/bar'). You could also have setVariablePattern('/{context}/{id}') (this is what the doc paragraph you quoted meant - i will look into adding an example there as its indeed not helpful to say "you can do this" but not explain how to).
Calling setPath is not recommended as its just less explicit - but as you noticed, it would get the job done. See the phpdoc and implementation of Model\Route::setPattern:
/**
* It is recommended to use setVariablePattern to just set the part after
* the static part. If you use this method, it will ensure that the
* static part is not changed and only change the variable part.
*
* When using PHPCR-ODM, make sure to persist the route before calling this
* to have the id field initialized.
*/
public function setPath($pattern)
{
$len = strlen($this->getStaticPrefix());
if (strncmp($this->getStaticPrefix(), $pattern, $len)) {
throw new \InvalidArgumentException('You can not set a pattern for the route that does not start with its current static prefix. First update the static prefix or directly use setVariablePattern.');
}
return $this->setVariablePattern(substr($pattern, $len));
}
About explicit names: The repository path is also the name of the route, in the example /cms/routes/foo. But it is not a good idea to use a route name of a dynamic route in your code, as those routes are supposed to be editable (and deletable) by an admin. If you have a route that exists for sure and is at a specific path, use the configured symfony routes (the routing.yml file). If its dynamic routes, have a look at the CMF Resource Bundle. It allows to define a role for a document and a way to look up documents by role. If you have a route with a specific role that you want to link to from your controller / template, this is the way to go. If you have a content document that is linked with a route document and have that content document available, your third and best option is to generate the URL from the content document. The CMF dynamic router can do that, just use the content object where you normally specify the route name.
I have been using PyroCMS and CI for quite some time, and truly love it.
I am extending a DB module that will allow an admin user to manage a DB without having to use something like phpMyAdmin.
The only thing I have been able to get working however is Browsing a table's field values (i.e 'SELECT * FROM 'table_name').
I want to include more functions, but I can't seem to get dbforge to work properly. I know it is loaded because dbforge is used to uninstall modules. I also get no error when calling functions from it.
Here is an example of my code from the controller (dbforge has already been loaded).
public function drop($table_name)
{
$table_name = $this->uri->segment(4);
$this->dbforge->drop_table($table_name);
redirect('admin/database/tables');
}
Lets say the function gets called from this url:
.../admin/database/drop/table_name
It appears to work... but instead it just redirects to the tables overview.
Is there something I am missing? Shouldn't [$this->dbforge->drop_table($table_name);] always drop a table (given $table_name is valid)?
EDIT
As a work around, I was able to use:
public function drop($table_name)
{
$table_name = $this->uri->segment(4);
//$this->dbforge->drop_table($table_name);
$this->db->query("DROP TABLE ".$table_name);
redirect('admin/database/tables');
return TRUE;
}
I really would like to use DB forge, however...
I think you might be getting a little confused by the site prefixes in PyroCMS 1.3.x.
By default all installations of Community and Professional will have default_ as a prefix for all tables in the first site. If you have Professional you can add new sites and the site reference will be whatever_ instead of default_
This prefix is accounted for by dbforge, so when you want to delete default_blog you would just delete:
/admin/database/drop/blog
Also, why are you accepting the $table_name as an argument then overriding it with a uri segment?

See what I did there? xD
public function drop($table_name)
{
$this->dbforge->drop_table($table_name);
redirect('admin/database/tables');
