I have Liferay 6.2 GA4...
I want to create a birthdays calendar by code, in a portlet... so I create a calendar in my portlet, with this code:
long calendarId = CounterLocalServiceUtil.increment(Calendar.class.getName());
calendar = CalendarLocalServiceUtil.createCalendar(calendarId);
calendar.setName(BIRTHDAYS_CALENDAR_NAME);
calendar.setGroupId(themeDisplay.getScopeGroupId());
calendar.setUserId(themeDisplay.getUserId());
calendar.setCreateDate(new Date());
calendar.setCompanyId(themeDisplay.getCompanyId());
calendar.setUserName(themeDisplay.getUser().getFullName());
calendar.setModifiedDate(new Date());
calendar.setCalendarResourceId(getCalendarDefault(themeDisplay.getScopeGroupId()).getCalendarResourceId());
calendar.setColor(6663561);
CalendarLocalServiceUtil.addCalendar(calendar);
this works fine, and the calendar gets created... but after that i am facing an issue...
If I try to set permissions to the calendar in the portlet (in the site), i get a blank page with an error in the log:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Permissioned model is null
so my question is:
how can i create the calendar with permissions?
i want to create it with the default permissions, when you create a calendar in the site, this is what is shown, they are:
Permissions
Viewable by: Site Members
how can i do this??
thank you!!
edit
I asked this same question in the liferay forums, and didnt get an answer there... so im asking here, hopefully ill get an answer here :)
same question
you can call:
CalendarLocalServiceUtil.addCalendar(long userId, long groupId, long calendarResourceId, java.util.Map<java.util.Locale, java.lang.String> nameMap, java.util.Map<java.util.Locale, java.lang.String> descriptionMap, java.lang.String timeZoneId, int color, boolean defaultCalendar, boolean enableComments, boolean enableRatings, com.liferay.portal.service.ServiceContext serviceContext)
it will create the resource permissions.
Fabio.
I found an answer to do it, you just have to call the addModelResource method after creating the calendar..
ResourceLocalServiceUtil.addModelResources(calendar, serviceContext);
hope it helps someone!

I am developing a drupal(7.x) module where I need to give site wide contact form permissions for all programmatically.
I want this programmatically :-
I need help about this. If any one know how to do this please help me.
Thanks and regards

My problem solved by using this solution(Jaypan)
**<?php
function mymodule_menu_alter(&$menu)
{
if(isset($menu['contact']))
{
$menu['contact']['access callback'] = TRUE;

I need to update info of an existing user in my database programmaticaly
I need to update user name birth date values in user_ table in Liferay database
basically I need to run an update query.
It is not recommended to update the liferay database directly, you should use Liferay API instead to do these things. As per this liferay forum post:
The Liferay database is not published for a reason. The reason is the API does significantly more stuff than just simple SQL insert statements. There are internally managed foreign keys, there are things which are updated not just in the database but also in the indices, in jackrabbit, etc.
Since all of this is managed by the code and not by the database, any updates to the code will change how and when the database is updated. Even if it did work for you in a 6.1 GA1 version, GA2 is coming out in a couple of weeks and the database/code may change again.
Sticking with the API is the only way to insure the changes are done correctly.
Ok enough preaching and back to your problem, here are some ways you can do these:
you can either build a custom portlet and use liferay's services and update the username, birthdate etc using UserLocalServiceUtil.updateUser() method.
Or you can build a web-service client based on SOAP or JSON to update the details which would call the same method
Or you can use Liferay's Beanshell tool to do this from the control panel, following is some code to update the user (created just for you ASAP):
import com.liferay.portal.model.Company;
import com.liferay.portal.model.Contact;
import com.liferay.portal.model.ContactConstants;
import com.liferay.portal.model.User;
import com.liferay.portal.service.CompanyLocalServiceUtil;
import com.liferay.portal.service.ContactLocalServiceUtil;
import com.liferay.portal.service.UserLocalServiceUtil;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
long companyId = 10135; // this would be different for you
User user = UserLocalServiceUtil.getUserByEmailAddress(companyId, "test#liferay.com");
// Updating User's details
user.setEmailAddress("myTest#liferay.com");
user.setFirstName("First Test");
user.setLastName("Last Test");
user.setScreenName("myTestScreenName");
UserLocalServiceUtil.updateUser(user, false);
// Updating User's Birthday
// December 12, 1912
int birthdayMonth = 11;
int birthdayDay = 12;
int birthdayYear = 1912;
Calendar cal = new GregorianCalendar();
cal.set(birthdayYear, birthdayMonth, birthdayDay, 0, 0, 0);
cal.set(Calendar.MILLISECOND, 0);
Date birthday = cal.getTime();
System.out.println("Updated User: " + user + "\nBirthdate to be updated: " + birthday);
long contactId = user.getContactId();
Contact contact = ContactLocalServiceUtil.getContact(contactId);
if(contact == null) {
contact = ContactLocalServiceUtil.createContact(contactId);
Company company = CompanyLocalServiceUtil.getCompany(user.getCompanyId());
contact.setCompanyId(user.getCompanyId());
contact.setUserName(StringPool.BLANK);
contact.setCreateDate(new Date());
contact.setAccountId(company.getAccountId());
contact.setParentContactId(ContactConstants.DEFAULT_PARENT_CONTACT_ID);
}
contact.setModifiedDate(new Date());
contact.setBirthday(birthday);
ContactLocalServiceUtil.updateContact(contact, false);
System.out.println("Users birthdate updated successfully");
The contact code is built with the help of Liferay's source code for UserLocalServiceImpl#updateUser method
In case you are wondering what is bean-shell and where to put this code, here is where you can find it in Liferay Control Panel Control Panel --> Server --> Server Administration --> Script
It depends on whether you have to do this in a portlet code or by sending a direct query to db.
Liferay basically caches everything, so if you update a record in the Liferay database while the portal is running, most likely that record is already in cache, and so the new column values won't be read at all. You will have to clear the database cache by going to Control Panel -> Server Administration.
On the contrary, if you have to do such a thing in a portlet code, you should call one of the methods of the Liferay services. You're trying to update a User, so you should call the method UserLocalServiceUtil.updateUser (or UserServiceUtil.updateUser if you also want to check permissions).
You can see there are some different updateUser methods, one of them has a lot of parameters and another has only the bean as a parameter. While the first one contains all the business logic (validation, reindexing, update of related entities, etc.), the second one was just autogenerated and should not be used (except when you absolutely know what you're doing). So, use the method with a lot of parameters, simply passing user.getCOLUMN() (eg. user.getFacebookId()) if you don't want to change the value of that column.
Hope it helps, and sorry for my bad English...
update user_ set firstName="New First Name", lastName="New Last Name" where emailAddress="test#test.com";
update contact_ set birthday="date string" where contactId in(select contactId from user_ where emailAddress="test#test.com");
By first update query you can change firstName, lastName of user and by second query you can change birthdate of user.
Hope its clear!
Try this code..
Here i am updating only user First name(rest you can do by your own way)
userId = you can get this using theme display
User user = UserLocalServiceUtil.getUser(userId);
user.setFirstName("new name");
UserLocalServiceUtil.updateUser(user);
Hope this will help you !!!
i'm looking for an easy way to export all active directory users info into unique vcards for each. there is some info i'd like to leave out of the vcard like home phone, and emergency contact. i've looked around the web and have little luck finding anything. any help would be appreciated.
I doubt there will be a very easy way. Ultimately, you need to
enumerate all your users (or a subset therefore)
iterate over the resulting list of users
export each user's data to a VCard
For the searching & iterating part, you can use a PrincipalSearcher to do your searching:
// create your domain context
using (PrincipalContext ctx = new PrincipalContext(ContextType.Domain))
{
// define a "query-by-example" principal - here, we search for a UserPrincipal
// this "QBE" user would give you the ability to further limit what you get back
// as results from the searcher
UserPrincipal qbeUser = new UserPrincipal(ctx);
// create your principal searcher passing in the QBE principal
PrincipalSearcher srch = new PrincipalSearcher(qbeUser);
// find all matches
foreach(var found in srch.FindAll())
{
UserPrincipal foundUser = found as UserPrincipal;
if(foundUser != null)
{
ExportToVCard(foundUser);
}
}
}
And now all that's left to do is create the ExportToVCard function :-) See e.g. this blog post with code samples and further links for help.
If you haven't already - absolutely read the MSDN article Managing Directory Security Principals in the .NET Framework 3.5 which shows nicely how to make the best use of the new features in System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement. Or see the MSDN documentation on the System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement namespace.
If you just want the data itself, I would take a look at Softerra's free LDAP Browser, found here.
Setup a profile for your directory server - once it's connected in the browser, you'll see the default schema for the BaseDN you've provided during the initial setup. On the server icon, right click, and hit "Export Data".
The export wizard will walk you through most of the process, but the important part is Step 3. If you want to find all users, just set your search filter to (objectClass=user), make sure your search scope is SubTree, and then then edit what attributes you want to return.
You'll have to process the results into VCards, but this is the easiest\fastest way of getting all the users and attributes that you want.
I used the example in this page to add a user to an Active Directory group, but I get an exception with the message "Server is unwilling to process the request" when executing
dirEntry.Properties["member"].Add(userDn);
I had a similar issue where I was trying to add a member to a group. Specifically trying to add a group to a group and getting the same helpful error 'The server is unwilling to process the request' The answer provided by the OP did not work for me.
For me, the reason I was unable to add a group to my group was because the group I was trying to add members to was a 'global' scoped group whereas it needed to be a 'universal' scoped group. Hope this helps someone.
This question took me a lot of time to solve. First of all, the error message looks like a joke. Second, there is nothing more, just that message.
Anyway, I managed to fix it by:
Making sure that userDn contains the whole path (e.g., "LDAP://server-address/CN=" + userDn + ",OU=optional,DC=your-domain,DC=com". This is actually very important, if you don't supply the full path it will throw an Exception from HRESULT: 0x80005000.
Replacing dirEntry.Properties["member"].Add(userDn); by entry.Invoke("Add", new object[] { userDn });
Then I wanted to remove a user and I expected entry.Invoke("Remove", new object[] { userDn }); to work. However, this devilish AD will only work if you use lower case "remove", so entry.Invoke("remove", new object[] { userDn }); worked for me.
I got this generic error message when my path did not match the forest domain name. For example, if my forest domain name is ad.example.com, and I am trying to create a group with path CN=Users,DC=example,DC=net one has .com the other has .net - they don't line up. I would need to correct my group to match. My group path should then be CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com.
ldapwiki.com describes potential causes for "The server is unwilling to process the request". Check ExtendedErrorMessage property of your exception to figure out what applies. In my case "00002145: SvcErr: DSID-031A1254, problem 5003 (WILL_NOT_PERFORM)". The following line resolved the issue:
ent.Properties["groupType"].Value = 8;
I had missed to set groupType and so attempted to nest a universal group in a global group. Find more information on groupType attribute in ldapwiki.com
Just look out, because the start of the .properties("distinguished Name") can be different than the .properties("cn"). If the user is created with a , or ; in the .properties("cn"), the start of the .properties("distinguished Name") will be the username with \, or \;.
This can give an error if u are trying to add a user you found by use of .properties("cn") to a Group.
After many days searching i find the problem. when you add user in group you must set "distinguished Name" not LDAP path.
You must write like this:
ent.Properties["member"].Add("CN=YourUserName,OU=optional,DC=yourdomain,DC=com");
This is wrong code:
ent.Properties["member"].Add("LDAP://CN=YourUserName,OU=optional,DC=yourdomain,DC=com");
Also when you do remove mast to save this rule
ent.Properties["member"].Remove("CN=YourUserName,OU=optional,DC=yourdomain,DC=com");
P.S. ent is DirectoryEntry object of group
I have the problem of trying to manually creating an Lync contact in C# code. And checkin if the person is available. But i can seemed to get it to work. I found some code that automaticly gets the contact from an list.
var contact = (Contact)contactList.SelectedValue;
if ((ContactAvailability)contact.GetContactInformation(ContactInformationType.Availability)
!= ContactAvailability.Offline)
{
_conversationManager.AddConversation();
}
But i would like to remove the list and use an person that is stored in the code.
There are samples in MSDN that shows how to get contact by Uri, telephone number or other attributes (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh345270.aspx, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh378560.aspx)
