I am using the Drupal 7 Migrate module to create a series of nodes from JPG and EPS files. I can get them to import just fine. But I notice that when I am done importing them if I look at the nodes it creates, none of the attached filefield and thumbnail files contain filename information.
Upon inspecting the file_managed table I see that both the filename and filemime fields are empty for ONLY the files that I attached via the migrate module. This also creates an issue with downloading the files.
Now I think the problem has to do with the fact that I am using "file_link" instead of "file_copy" as the file operation I specify. The problem is I am importing around 2TB (thats Terabytes) of image files. We had to put in a special request with Rackspace just to get access to that much disk space on our server. So I can't go around copying from one directory to the next because of space issues. So "file_link" seems like the obvious choice.
Now you probably want to see how I am doing this exactly, so here is the code snippet:
$jpg_arguments = MigrateFileFieldHandler::arguments(NULL,
'file_link', FILE_EXISTS_RENAME, 'en', array('source_field' => 'jpg_name'),
array('source_field' => 'jpg_filename'), array('source_field' => 'jpg_filename'));
$this->addFieldMapping('field_image', 'jpg_uri')
->arguments($jpg_arguments);
As you can see I am specifying no base path (just like the beer.inc example file does). I have set file_link, the language, and the source fields for the description, title, and alt.
It is able to generate thumbnails from the JPGs. But still missing those columns of data in the db table. I traced through the functions the best I could but I don't see what is causing this. I tried running the uri in the table through the functions that generate the filename and the filemime and they output just fine. It is like something is removing just those segments of data.
Does anyone have any idea what this could be? I am using the Drupal 7 Migrate module version 2.2. It is running on Drupal 7.8.
Thanks,
Patrick
Ok, so I have found the answer to yet another question of mine. This is actually an issue with the migrate module itself. The issue is documented here. I will be repealing this bounty (as soon as I figure out how).

I'm using cakephp XLS helper to generate Excel report in my project.
But the generated file is giving warning message in windows system as below.
Similarly the same file displays the entire xml mark-up in open-office on linux as below.
Part of the view file code is as below.
$xls->setHeader('Report_'.date('Y_m_d'));
$xls->addXmlHeader();
$xls->setWorkSheetName('Enrollment Report');
//1st row for columns name
$xls->openRow();
$xls->writeString('ID');
$xls->writeString('Zipcode');
My Client wants a proper excel report with-out any warnings in windows.
Please suggest me any excel helper for cakephp which will generate proper excel file on all the platform and different application.
Your problem is that you are using a helper that puts your data in xml format. Excel can read XML and HTML but with a warning. You should use the one that Ivo suggested in the comments. LINK
This helper really makes an xls valid format, that complys with open office and office. Also, this helper relies on PHPExcel class that is constantly updated here so your code will be easy to upgrade if needed.
Remember to follow instructions given in the helper page.
I've tried a lot of this xls helper for cakephp, but neither one work as expected, either outdated or create xml o html tables or didn't work at all, haven't tried this one though... still creating a helper using PHPExcel shouldn't give you much trouble, you may use this tutorial as a how to base to modify the helper.
I think you need to set the mime-type. This has happened to me in the past and it was when the mime-type of an older excel helper was set to an out-dated value.
The code from the linked (by Ivo) helper has the following:
function _output($title) {
header("Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel");
header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="'.$title.'.xls"');
header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
$objWriter = new PHPExcel_Writer_Excel5($this->xls);
$objWriter->setTempDir(TMP);
$objWriter->save('php://output');
}
I would make sure you are:
a) using the newest helper (http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/melgior/2010/01/26/simple-excel-spreadsheet-helper)
b) that the mime-type is actually set.
c) that that specific mime-type is accurate.
I have to serve captcha image (in Coldfusion) without saving permanent files per request, so I am using cfimage without a source destination and the action set to captcha.
This returns a file like this:
From what I've tested, these files are seem to be temporary they become unavailable after around 5min. This fits my need, but I've been trying to find documentation regarding CFFileServlet, how it works, etc... with no luck...
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Phill
Not documented AFAIK, and yes they get deleted around 5 minutes after created.
I currently am loading all images in a folder in my "MyPictures" folder on my machine which works fine...
foreach (string filename in Directory.GetFiles(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.MyPictures)))
What I really want to be able to do, though, is load all the images in my Images folder within my solution project. Can someone please tell me the correct syntax to do this?
[Nothing in your question (as it is currently stated) is really directly related to WPF as opposed to C# (and Windows development) in general, as far as I can tell. You might get a better reply if the question was tagged to C# as opposed to just WPF.]
I don't think there is a way to reference your solution's folder as such (nor does it really make much sense, as the users of your application won't in general have the solution, only the distributables).
If you need the directory to be within your solution folder somehow, maybe you should refer to the directory your executable resides in (...\SolutionDir\bin\Debug), which you can get using
System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
.GetModules()[0].FullyQualifiedName);
(Of course, you could tack \..\.. to that to refer to the SolutionDir instead, but that'd be a bit ugly.)
Depending on the usage of the images, though, it'd probably be better to put them under one of the defined special directories -- Environment.SpecialFolder.CommonApplicationData sounds like the best candidate, if the images are to be shared by all users.
One way to access images stored in a folder inside the WPF project is to do the following:
If you have already added the images inside an Images folder, Add the images file names in the Resources.resx file under Properties. You can access the images in the code by the following
string imageFilename = "pack://application:,,,/APP.UI;component/Images/" + Properties.Resources.imagefilename;
var src = new BitmapImage();
src.UriSource = new Uri(imageFilename , UriKind.Absolute);
I'm just beginning the process of exploring i18n in CakePHP and I can't seem to find the right combination of files and functions that will allow me to use multiple po files. If I want to use a single po file (default.po) for every bit of translatable text, that works fine, but I see that becoming an unmaintainable hairball very, very quickly. I've read the docs and the few articles I can find, but none really dive into i18n beyond the trivial use of one .po file.
Here's where I am right now:
I've "baked" my po templates (.pot files) and copied those into app/locale/eng/LC_MESSAGES (I'm not going to be using the default text as the key so that I can easily spot missing keys). For now, I have -views-layouts-default.po and -views-pages-index.po.
In those .po files, I've entered the text I want to use for each key.
In my homepage (views/pages/index.ctp) and default layout (views/layouts/default.ctp) I've wrapped the text key I want to translate with the __() function.
When I load the homepage, though, all I see are they keys. No text has been translated. If I throw up a default.po file, though, any keys I drop in there are populated just fine. I'm clearly missing some piece of the puzzle, but I can't find it. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
I found the piece I was missing thanks to the CakePHP Google Group. I had been playing with the __d() convenience function, but didn't have a clear picture of how to tie it together to my .po files. The answer is easy once you know it:
The domain translation:
__d ( 'login', 'PLEASE_LOGIN' );
Will look for the "PLEASE_LOGIN" key in the file named login.po. I didn't know (and hadn't read anywhere) that domain == po file name (without extension). Learning that made all the difference.
How do you allow a C-extension to use rb_f_require to require a file from outside the ext directory (e.g. requiring lib/foo/foo.rb from ext/foo.so).
Not really sure why this isn't converted into html like the rest of the ruby hacking guide that had been translated, but perhaps some portion of this would be helpful?
http://rhg.rubyforge.org/svn/en/chapter18.txt
Given that rb_f_require appears to do a normal load path search, it would seem it would search out into lib/foo if that is in the search path. However, if you are looking for another foo.rb I would imagine you would have name problems if foo.so appears first. Perhaps using a different name for foo.rb could solve the problem?
