I'm using Content API for Drupal or Views 3 to return some data from Drupal 7.
Problem I am facing is with Content API, the documentation says to use query parameter fields[]=[field_name] to display just data for those fields instead of displaying all data.
That didn't work for me, when I tried to query it with content api like so:
http://wawineregions.com.au/wawineregions/contentapi/content?type=winery&fields[]=field_rating&sort=title&page=0
It doesn't display my "field_rating" field in the REST endpoint which I am expecting it to.
As for my Views, I am using Views 3. I have setup a new view and it returns the correct result in the REST endpoint if I only have say the built in field "title". As soon as I include one of my custom field such as the "field_rating", the REST endpoint returns me ALL data for ALL fields, which isn't what I want.
Example:
http://wawineregions.com.au/wawineregions/rest/views/view_wineriesbasic
I just want it to return my data for the two fields I told it to display, the title and the rating. Not all the other data attached with it.
I am using:
Drupal 7
Services 3.x
Views 3.x
Content API 7.x-3.3-apha
Does anyone have any ideas?

The plan is for me to use Drupal being the engine to output rest api data and the cms handling for the end user to add/delete/edit content.
React to handle the view layer and display how each page should look.
Is there a way with Drupal 8 to output in the rest api exactly what components/modules that the end user would like to use per each page? Rather than just a single node.
Thank you
I am trying to hit the courier companies website from Controller ( e.g bluedart,fedex etc) by passing the courier tracking number and fetch status of the given tracking number.
I am using $HttpSocket->get/post to hit the webpage URL
I am able to display the response body
How can I fetch the data from the response.
Or is there any other way to achieve the same
Please help me out .

Parse the result, either using regular expressions or the DOMDocument class and traverse it. See Parsing HTML in Cakephp as well.

Use the APIs these companies usually offer.
I have an app where the menu system is built dynamically using metadata fetched at startup. Based on this data, and menu selections, I need to craft a "filter box" where user can input search criteria. The "main" View consists of a filter box plus a search results panel where result(s) are rendered in accordance with their classes.
Can I model the Filter Box as a Backbone.js Model? It does not have any data fetches from the backend as its composition depends entirely on the menu selections + the metadata? E.g. when user selects "Sales" menu then the filter box might prompt for "Sales Order Number" whereas when user selects "Material" then the filter box might prompt for something else.
I would then use this widget as component of the "main" View, along with a set of results views made up on the fly. As users make their menu selections, this main View will un-render the existing filter box and recompute and re-render a new one. Other components on the screen could query the Filter Box for its settings.
The examples I have seen so far always have a url and a server fetch, save, etc. The only url-free example on the tutorial page says it is a "contrived" example. I was wondering if a backend provider is necessary and programming will be full of gotchas without conforming to this requirement.
Thanks.
You can have models without url property defined. One of the building blocks of Backbone is the Sync object, that will help you when pulling and pushing data, ideally from/to REST endpoints. For this to work you need to tell where the data are served, and to do so you set a value to url on Models or Collections.
If you don't need server comunication but you just want to use the utilities provided by simple Model or Collection (such as event handling, filtering, etc..) you just don't set url and you are good to go (just keep in mind that methods like fetch or save won't work).
Yes you can use Backbone for your DOM logic too. A model doesn't need to represent data from the server. Do whatever you like with the few basic elements of Backbone, simply use them when you feel like it'd do a great job :)
We are migrating our website to DotNetNuke and are looking to replicate the functionality of our survey page. Currently, on the bottom of every e-mail we send through our CRM system, there is a link to a satisfaction survey along with some parameters to pre-populate some of the fields. So the URL looks something like like:
/survey.aspx?ticketID=1234&userName=John+Doe
I found the custom module "helferlein_Form" which seems okay for actually creating the form that the user fills in, but I don't see a way to pre-populate the fields. DotNetNuke does let you insert tokens(ex: [Date:now], [User:username]), but I don't see a way to grab individual parameters from the URL. Is there something I'm missing that will let me do that?
I'm not familiar with that module either, but I would strongly recommend using Xmod for customized forms that allow you to easily grab url parameters.
I'm not sure about the module you reference.
However, in my experience Dynamic Forms from Data Springs would fit the bill perfect. It has the ability to pre-fill and even run custom SQL queries to get data.
You should definitely try our My Tokens module.
It allows you to access the URL parameters using [Get:ticketID] or [QueryString:tickedID]. You can also build SQL tokens that use these parameters to return a list of items for example to populate a dropdown.
Also try our Action Form module which integrates very nice with My Tokens.
If you have a module you like and want to use you can always write a little javascript to grab the variables out of the URL and pre-populate your form fields using javascript.
I have a doubt, i've been working with salesforce for a while and now i have a requirement from a customer.
They need that some custom fields be populated with a value of parent object, making some research on stackoverflow, i found this post, but this isn't working for me because my project is a manage package and when this is installed on a another salesforce instance the id of custom field change.
if someone could help me, I will be grateful.
Thanks!.
I can't see any way of doing the same as that post without using the IDs, I was thinking you could route via a VF page and build up the URL in the controller but it doesn't seem as though you can get the IDs of fields, just their type etc..
I think the best you could do in this instance is to override the default new recordpage with a visualforce page. In the constructor of your controller you could then loop through the page parameters and pre-fill the corresponding fields on the new record before it's displayed on screen. Using fieldsets or just an <apex:Detail> component would keep the level of effort down and also maximise the flexibility of the page for the end users.
