Trying to use Liquid to filter a Webapp by another Webapps data

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 19:35:29 GMT

Here's the scenario. I have a customer who wants me to build a very simple task system for their employees, where the employer can assign HR related tasks to an employee. The employee would login and see only the tasks assigned to them.

I have a Webapp "Intranet - Employee" and another Webapp "Intranet - Employee Tasks". In the "Intranet - Employee Tasks" Webapp, I have a field with the datasource linked to the Webapp "Intranet - Employee". I have an Secure Zone called "Intranet". I have a page in the Secure Zone titled "Intranet - "Employee".

On the page "Intranet - Employee", I have the following module using Liquid:

{module_webapps id="23727" filter="all" render="collection"}

In the "Intranet - Employee Tasks" Webapp layout, I have the following:

<div class="intranet-task-list-item">

{% for item in items %}

<div class="name">{{item.name}}</div>

<div class="intro">{{item.['task intro']}}</div>

<div class="type">{{item.['task type']}}</div>

{%endfor%}

</div>

This works fine. It shows all of the tasks, not just the ones assigned to the logged in employee. Now I want to filter by the user that's logged in.

This module call gets the Item Id I want to filter by:

{module_webappscustomer id="23725" filter="all" useBackupTemplate="true"}

In the "Intranet - Employee" Webapp backup template, I have one tag: {tag_itemid}.

Now, how do I filter the second Webapp "Intranet - Employee Tasks" by the Item Id. Here's how I started, but it's not working:

On the page "Intranet - Employee":

{module_webapps id="23727" filter="all" render="collection" emplid="{{module_webappscustomer id="23725" filter="all" useBackupTemplate="true"}}"}

In the "Intranet - Employee Tasks" Webapp layout, I have the following:

<div class="intranet-task-list-item">

{% for item in items %} {%if {{item.['employee_id']}} == this.params.emplid %}

<div class="name">{{item.name}}</div>

<div class="intro">{{item.['task intro']}}</div>

<div class="type">{{item.['task type']}}</div>

<div class="employee">{{item.['employee']}}</div>

<div class="employee id">{{item.['employee_id']}}</div>

<div class="testing for id">testingfor: {{params.emplid}}</div>

{%endif %} {%endfor%}

</div>

Is something like this possible? I've very new to Liquid, so maybe I'm missing something big. If I take out the if statement, I can see that the parameter gets passed to the layout. Also, if I pass a text variable, instead of using the module_webappscustomer ..., the if statement works. But, I cannot get them both the work together.

Do I need to assign a variable first? Is there a better way to link the two Webapps?

Thanks in advance for the help!

Can i use WebApps to build a Google map with polygon territories instead of points (pins)?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 17 Sep 2014 13:07:33 GMT

I built a map with Google Maps Engine Pro - http://www.jmbcompanies.com/Services/Mitigation/map.

It showcases territories using a Google map polygon shape. I wrote custom KML to create it. However, with Google Maps Engine pro you cannot create custom hyperlinks. It will link a URL that you put in the data, but you cannot name it or target the parent window, so therefore it opens a new tab for each click to more details. I really want it to open the WebApp detail page for that item within the same window.

So, is there a way to use the BC integrated Google maps technology and show polygons instead of points on the map? I've used {module_webappsmap,20754,a} to place individual locations on a map, but what about territories or polygon areas?

I'm sure that I can create a WebApp to generate the KML for each placeholder. But how do I turn that into a map?

THANKS!!

What code editor do you use with Business Catalyst?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 14:59:34 GMT

I am having many issues with Dreamweaver & BC:

1 - It keeps thinking that I have the trial version, even though I have a license to Creative Cloud and Creative Cloud shows that I have it.

2 - When I try to use the integrated Business Catalyst palette, it logs me out of the admin console for my BC site. ANNOYING.

3 - Most importantly, it doesn't put the files to the server successfully, consistently. I have change my file and re-put the file 5-6 times before it works. VERY FRUSTRATING!

After an hour on the phone with Dreamweaver customer support, the issue is still not resolved.

So, now I ask you all, what code editor are you using in conjunction with Business Catalyst while implementing your Business Catalyst websites?

Detailed webform - Session timing out - Is there a way to warn the user?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 24 Jul 2014 15:04:59 GMT

I have a complex webform that takes a bit of time to complete, mainly because it requests proof of professional licenses and the users have to stop what they are doing on have to look for their license in a PDF format. In several instances, the user is completing the form, but it's not saving. I believe it's because the session has timed out.

The user is not warned and doesn't get an error message.

Is there a way to ask the user to save when the session is close to timing out?

Or, is there a way to autosave a webform?

Thanks!

Can I create visitor-submitted WebApp that can also be edited by a small group of secured users through a user page rather than the admin interface?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 09 Jul 2014 21:18:57 GMT

I have a visitor submitted webapp. When the user hits submit, it also calls Javascript that generates data for a few hidden fields.

I also want a small group of users (5) to also be able to edit each item if necessary. When we edit the WebApp item with the admin interface the Javascript won't run. Can I create a website page, in a secure zone, that will allow the small group to edit the items?

Any ideas? User error?

Can I view a customer's password?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 13 Feb 2014 17:03:56 GMT

I have a client with a new membership type website with a secure zone. We've had several folks get the "Secure Zone Access Denied" message. My client is very sure that the customer is using the correct password, but I have my doubts. Is there anyway to see the password anymore? Is there a setting I can change to be able to see them? (I think they might be using their old passwords) They claim to have reset the pasdsord.

My client doesn't want me to talk directly to the members, so supporting them has been a little difficult while transitioning 200+ members to the new site.

Thanks!

Need Help Configuring Membership Website with External Approval Process

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sat, 01 Feb 2014 00:15:08 GMT

I am working on configuring a membership website for a group of scientist. Here are the interesting requirements. Any brainstorming would be helpful.

1 - A prospective member applies online. Within the application the prospective member has to include a reference for previous work proving his qualifications and naming a reference to confirm the qualifications. The prospective member has to include the reference's name and email address. (Site visitor creats a new user-submitted webapp item, easy enough.)

2 - The application needs to kick off a workflow to an external site visitor (someone who doesn't have a site login). This reference needs to confirm of reject the prospective member's qualifications.

3 - If the external site visitor approves the reference, then the membership director needs to be emailed of the approval. This approval should then kickoff another approval process to ask the membership director for his approval.

4 - If the external site visitor rejects the reference, then the membership directory needs to be emailed the rejection notification. (If the reference rejects then there will be some sort of appeal process or ability to start over or submit a different reference.)

5 - If the reference approves and the membership director approves, then the prospective member is notified and submitted an invoice to pay. His memberhsip is not active until he pays.

6 - Once the member pays, then he appears in the online directory.

7 - The member will also be able to login and edit his profile as needed.

That about sums it up. Any ideas??

THANKS!

Looking for solution for FTP style Extranet to Share Large Files (1GB+) with My Client's Customers

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 18 Dec 2013 15:12:49 GMT

My client needs to share large files (1GB+) with his customers. Every engineer in his firm needs to be able to manage the files (create, update, delete). Each customer needs his own login and password. He estimates about 20 customers at a time. Customer names need to be secure; his customers should not be able to see any sort of list of his current customers.

I was thinking that there might be a third party solution that is easily integrated into his BC site.

Has anyone done this before. Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Is there a way to upload or import new webapp fields?

In the Online Shop Layouts: Individual Product - Large, is there a tag for the Large Image value?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 22 Jul 2013 17:16:56 GMT

I need a tag for the URL to the large image in order to use the Facebook Feed dialog (share).

See example at https://aesgatorshack.worldsecuresystems.com/gator-shack/ladies/ladies-aes-pep-rally-repli ca-jersey.

When you click the "Share on Facebook" link, it doesn't use a photo. I can specify a photo to use; however, I need the URL to the image.

Here's the Facebook code as is:

<a href="#" class="social_button social_blue" onclick="window.open('https://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?link={tag_itemurl_withhost}&app_id=271818569626492&redirect_uri={tag_itemurl_withhost}& amp;name={tag_name}&display=popup','Sharing My AES Gator Shack Finds','width=640,height=320');">Share on Facebook</a>

I can add the picture= parameter, but I need the URL to the image.

How can I create an easily managed Customer Extranet?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 15 Oct 2012 15:29:35 GMT

I have a customer who wants to provide an extranet for his customers that is easily maintained by non-technical field operators.

He wants one screen that field operators can use to create and upload files. For example, the screen would look similar to this:

Create new customer: [________________________] or Select existing customer: [________________________][^]

Upload file: [___________________][^]

[SUBMIT]

When the submit button is clicked, then following needs to happen:

- new Secure Zone is created for that customer

- a new category is created with that customer's name

- the file is uploaded to the literature module, and assigned to that customer's category

- new page for that customer and is automatically assigned to the new Secure Zone; the page will have the literature module limited to that customer's category

Is this even possible?

Any other ideas how I might achieve the same effect?

Thanks!

What is the best payment solution if client is only accepting eChecks?

For a US customer

Check amounts range from $2,000 - $6,000

Probably 4-8 transactions per month

Doesn't want to accept credit cards at all because of the charges

I would like to provide 2 recommendations - one that provides the most economical solutions (cheapest) and another that is the cleaness implementation (seamless).

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Concatenate two custom fields as Item Name is User Submitted WebApp

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 21 May 2012 20:19:51 GMT

I have a WebApp, and the items are user submitted. I want to automatically create the Item Name field by concatenating two of my custom fields when the user submits the add item form.

I have the javascript, but can't figure out where to put it that doesn't result in an error.

var first_init = $('#CAT_Custom_382665').val().charAt(0).toUpperCase();

var end_name = $('#CAT_Custom_382664').val()+' '+first_init;

$('#ItemName').val(end_name);
