We need to create a List Box type of custom field thru the API. If we follow this guide, we can create Text, Dropdown, and TextArea custom fields except the ones not mentioned (in our case, we need "List Box"). But it didn't give any idea on what to use for the data type part of it.
We tried experimenting with possible data type values but it still returns the same "invalid type" error as above. What we have tried so far are:
List Box
ListBox
List
Box
Options
Option
Option List
OptionList
Options List
Option Lists
Options Lists
QUESTION
Is there a guide somewhere that we may have missed looking at? Or is it even possible to create a List Box custom field thru the API?
Updating this post for future reference.
Just sent a dev ticket to Infusionsoft, and they advised to use “MultiSelect”. It works now!
array:4 [▼
"customFieldType" => "Contact"
"displayName" => "XXXXX"
"dataType" => "MultiSelect" // <-- this works
"headerId" => 47
]

I did a search on this topic and I am not that JSON familiar, so I thought I'd see if I can find the answer here to my question from the community.
I have a view from a list that I am formatting in SharePoint (SP) that creates some automated JSON. It simply colors the items based on if the value matches in the generated JSON code. I am trying to tweak it but having trouble getting the format to come up as a match.
I am trying to use just the one column called Display. It's a calculated field which concatenates a bunch of string text.
Here is what the generated section of code from SP I am trying to tweak looks like (this is not all of it):
{ "operator": "==",
"operands": [
"[$Display]",
"LOCATED"
]
}, =if(#isSelected == "true" etc...
So the formatting will happen if the data in field Display = LOCATED returning true and will apply the formatting. What I am trying to do, is get some sort of string contains or wild card matching.
The contents of the field Display in the SP list will contain something dynamic and possibly the word LOCATED somewhere in the text.
So ideally I'd like to tweak this code to return true for the formatting if the Display field content said something like "John Doe LOCATED New York" for example.
if anyone has any ideas how I could solve this that would be great. Also I was trying another field which is a choice field for exact matching but I couldn't get it to work either.
Thanks.
This issue has been resolved, by doing an exact field match instead of wildcarding.
In Yii 2 RBAC, there is a new table called auth_rule. Can anyone explain its usage with a small example
create table [auth_rule]
(
[name] varchar(64) not null,
[data] text,
[created_at] integer,
[updated_at] integer,
primary key ([name])
);
The basic parts of yiis RBAC-cconcept stayed exactly the same. In both Yii1 and Yii2 you have the following tables:
auth_item: holds the actual rights, groups, roles, etc.
auth_item_child: defines the graph / hierarchy of the items
auth_assignement: assigns an item to a user
In Yii2 you now have a fourth table:
auth_rule: holds reusable rules to check if a right is actually granted
Why is this?
Yii1
The concept behind the rule was already there in Yii1...kind of at least. In Yii1 you had the possibility to define a "bizrule" in auth_item and auth_assignement. "bizrule" and "data" were columns in both those tables.
The contents of the columns were the following:
bizrule: held php-code which had to return a boolean value. This code was executed during rights check with eval(). That way you could control if a right was granted or not even though the user had the item assigned. Example: it makes no sense, but you could give a user a right only on even hours with this bizrule: return date('h') % 2 == 0.
data: held params which could be passed to the bizrule while beeing executed. This data was then available in the scope of the bizrule.
Yii2
The above solution works perfectly, except that the code of a bizrule is not reusable. Therefore this functionality was extracted into its own table.
If you look at the migration-file creating the basic rbac-tables (yii\rbac\migrations\m140506_102106_rbac_init.php) you can see that the item table now has a relation to the rule-table instead of hosting the code in one of its own columns.
There is however no relationship between auth_assignement and auth_rule. In Yii1 this allowed you to disable groups of rights at once. Since you can reuse a rule and attach it to all relevant items this is no longer necessary and was therefore removed.
Example
If you look at the actual implementation of yii\rbac\DbManager and yii\rbac\BaseManager an example shouldn't be necessary. Interesting are the following mthods:
DbManager::addRule(): serializes and persists a rule-instance
DbManager::getRule(): here you can see how the rule is retrieved, unserialized and returned. This means the rule is saved in a serialized format within the data-column of auth_rule.
BaseManager::executeRule(): the rule loaded above is executed via Rule::execute()
If you want to add a rule simply create an instance of yii\rbac\Rule and call DbManager::addRule($rule) with it as its param. This will serialize and save your rule making it reusable elsewhere. Awesome!
Voilà...should be pretty clear now. If you have some open questions or want more details just write a comment.
Cheers and have a good one!
The rule attribute data is serialized.
What does this data look like? Is it like the array below as not yet unserialized?
[
'allow' => true,
'actions' => ['view'],
'roles' => ['viewPost'],
],
I have a google chart and want to add a custom tooltip. I found some great answers like this this site and set about doing this with roles. I also found this link about it and it looked like the best way.
My data is being generated via json and I use a php file to create a json feed. The rows I have coded like this
{"cols": [ {"id":"","label":"Period","pattern":""},
{"id":"","label":"Recorded P/L","type":"number", "role":"data"} ,
{"id":"","label": null,"type":"string", "role":"tooltip"},
{"id":"","label":"Best Available P/L","type":"number", "role":"data"},
{"id":"","label": null,"type":"string", "role":"tooltip"}
]
Then it goes on and adds all the data. The problem is when I try to run this I get the error
All series on a given axis must be of the same data type
I have checked the json and that is formed correctly but am not sure what I could be doing wrong.
At least part of your problem is that you're not specifying the type for your first column.
I am attempting to access values in the Categories and Keywords information for a Tridion Publication via a Razor TBB in Tridion 2011. The Razor documentation lists the following example code:
<ul>
#foreach (var keyword in Publication.MetaData.SomeKeywordFields) {
<li>#keyword.Title (#keyword.Id)</li>
}
</ul>
I have a Keyword inside of a Category though... in fact, that's the only way I am myself aware that you can even have a Keyword in Tridion, but correct me if I am wrong. Extrapolating from the example's syntax, I tried the following where "myCategory" is a Category in the publication, and "myKeyword" is a Keyword inside of the myCategory Category:
#foreach (var keyword in Publication.MetaData.myCategory) {
if(#keyword.Title == "myKeyword") {
#keyword.Title
}
When I run this template, I get an error stating that DynamicItemsFields: Key 'testcategory' Not Found In ItemFields (Object reference not set to an instance of an object)
Can anyone help with identifying if it is even possible to do what I am attempting here (as it seems like it is based on the documentation but still not sure) and if so, provide an example of the correct syntax?
You're almost there with your code except that you're using the actual CategoryName. As Puf commented, you have to use the "fieldname" of you Publication Metadata not the actual CategoryName. You should just change the "myCategory" to the actual fieldname
#foreach (var keyword in Publication.MetaData.*<<FIELDNAME>>*) {
if(#keyword.Title == "myKeyword") {
#keyword.Title
}
}
[FIELDNAME] --> is the XMLName of publication metadata schema.
Keywords are indeed always within a Category or another Keyword. But they are used within items like Components and (as in the example) metadata on Publications, Folders, etc.
The example from the documentation is outputting each value of a multi-valued metadata Keyword field on the Publication (i.e. "Allow Multiple Values", "Values selected from a list" and "Category" all checked in the Metadata Schema).
If you are trying to do something similar, you can indeed modify the name of the field and it will work. From your question, however, it seems like you are trying to loop over all Keywords within a certain Category - which requires a different approach.
For that, you would need the equivalent of a GetList call within your TBB. I'm not familiar enough with the Razor mediator to provide sample code for that, sorry.
Thanks to Ram G in chat:
The Publication itself, typically your 010, 020... 050 etc. levels, can have a metadata schema attached to them as well. The XMLName of the field being targeted by the Razor logic block above is actually the field name of this metadata schema item, not the name of the Category itself. In the metadata schema for the publication, if you select the Design tab, Make your XML field for the item a "Text" type, select "Options will be selected from a list", by default, another Checkbox will appear called "Category" which, if checked, automatically pulls in the full list of Category items present in that publication. So, when that Field is targeted by the Razor logic now, it is in multiple steps targeting the Category value as well.
Thanks again Ram G
I've got a JSON file with a list of items. Each item has an ID and a name such as
{ID : 11, Name: 'item 1'}
I'm using the jQuery Mobile framework where I need to put a textbox where users can start typing an item name and the list should populate items from the file with the letters inside (some sort of autocomplete).
BTW - the list is VERY long (thousands of items) so I wouldn't like to load it all at once.
Any ideas how this can be accomplished?
Thanks!
I would create a function to return the result set based upon the "terms" in the phrase entry.
An example would be to use the source: of the jQuery UI Autocomplete and then filter your json data (cached on load?) based on the occurence. Something similar to breaking the phrase with a string split and iterating over that like with jQuery(':contains(text)') comes to mind.
If your json is an array jQuery.grep() might be perfectly suited. http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.grep
Here is another example in this question: How can I "filter" JSON for unique key name/value pairs?
