Smarttable stops fetching data when ID is changed - sapui5

I'm experimenting with annotations and smart controls, so I created an app from a Fiori Template and started playing with it. At some point inserted in the Object view a smart table (sap.ui.comp.smarttable) directly bound to an entity, no filters, no sorting, just fetch me all the data, something that of course worked. Things started getting interesting when I changed the table ID in the view. As soon as I did it, data stopped appearing and of course started appearing again as soon as I changed the table ID back in the old one. There are NO dependencies for this table, it's just there sitting in the view. Used the search function and scanned the entire project for the ID string, the only occurrence returned is the view definition. Any help?
Table definition snapshot below ("actionsTable" is the only string working and this is the only place found)
<smartTable:SmartTable id="actionsTable"
smartFilterId="smartFilterBar" tableType="ResponsiveTable" entitySet="AgreementActionsSet"
useExportToExcel="true" beforeExport="onBeforeExport" useVariantManagement="false"
useTablePersonalisation="true" header="Line Items" showRowCount="true"
persistencyKey="SmartTableAnalytical_Explored" enableAutoBinding="false"
demandPopin="true" class="sapUiResponsiveContentPadding">
<Table>
<ColumnListItem
type="Navigation"
press="onPress">
</ColumnListItem>
</Table>
</smartTable:SmartTable>

Invalid character (not Latin) inside the name (pasted from elsewhere). Question answered, apologies to everybody spent time on it.

How to make only one cell editable in smart table sapui5

I am using a sapui5 smart table to list down my products. It includes product code, product description and order quantity.
Among these three fields i want to update only the order quantity. It should be an inline editing in the table.
In my smart table i have enabled the property "editable" as "true". It makes the entire row is editable. Instead of making entire row editable, i want make only one cell to be editable.
Example
<smartFilterBar:SmartFilterBar id="smartFilterBar" entityType="ZDEMO_C_MyEntityType" persistencyKey="SmartFilter_Explored">
</smartFilterBar:SmartFilterBar>
<smartTable:SmartTable id="mySmartTable"
smartFilterId="smartFilterBar"
tableType="GridTable"
editable="true"
entitySet="ZDEMO_C_MyEntity"
useVariantManagement="false"
useTablePersonalisation="true"
header="My Products"
showRowCount="true"
useExportToExcel="true"
enableAutoBinding="true">
</smartTable:SmartTable>
I can see 2 ways:
Make use of "field controls" concept. It requires adding a special properties within your entity type, which define the state of the fields (cells). Also some annotations have to be introduced (in the metadata.xml by backend) to initiate the handling.
Here is a link where concept described using Form control as an example, but the same rules are applicable for Table as well:
https://blogs.sap.com/2017/06/06/dynamic-field-control-using-annotations-in-sapui5/
Redefine the table rows manually in your XML and bind the needed cell(s) against the property of the local JSON model, which could be changed depending on some conditions (e.g. Edit button press).
The 1st approach is better from the architectural perspective but requires some data model modifications (from the backend side).
The 2nd approach allows to do everything on UI and program some complex UI logic, which defines the cells state.
You choose.
You can add a sap ui table inside the smart table and add columns with customdata property. Follow these steps.
Make editable="true" as editable="false"
In your xml, make sure to add this namespace xmlns:core="sap.ui.core"
Within the smarttable tag add below.
<smartTable:SmartTable .................................
<Table>
<columns>
<Column>
<customData>
<core:CustomData key="p13nData" value='\{"columnKey": "OrderQty", "leadingProperty": "OrderQty", "columnIndex":"2"}'/>
</customData>
<Text text="Order Qty"/>
</Column>
</columns>
<items>
<ColumnListItem>
<cells>
<Input value="{OrderQty}" type="Number" editable="true"/>
</cells>
</ColumnListItem>
</items>
</Table>
</smartTable:SmartTable>
Add below tag inside table to make your column editable
<table:Column sortProperty="Max_Capacity" filterProperty="Max_Capacity" id="maxCapCol">
<Label text="Max Capacity"/>
<table:template>
<Input text="{Max_Capacity}" />
</table:template>
</table:Column>

SAPUI5 - How do I aggregate with formElement?

I previously implemented aggregation with VBox. This get all the 'questions' and creates a Text box for each....
<VBox items="{path: 'view>questions', templateShareable: true}">
<items>
<VBox class="sapUiTinyMargin" templateShareable="true">
<Text text="Question {view>OrderSequence}"/>
</VBox>
</items>
</VBox>
I need to do the same, but for formElements. Can this be done?
<f:formElements>
<f:FormElement label="{i18n>radioLabel}">
<f:fields>
<Input value="{viewmodel>radioLabel}" id="__redioLabel"/>
</f:fields>
</f:FormElement>
</f:formElements>
It doesn't seem to work with 'items'
In UI5 elements have several characteristics:
Properties: generally scalar attributes, like "title" or "width".
Events: which are fired when something happens, like "press" or "close".
Aggregations: collections of child entities, like the "items" of a list.
Associations: related controls, like the "label" of a input field.
You can find how these relate to the concept of data binding in the official documentation here.
In your case, the "formElements" is an aggregation of the FormContainer element. Based on the documentation:
Aggregation binding can be used to automatically create child controls according to model data. This can be done either by cloning a template control, or by using a factory function. Aggregations can only be bound to lists defined in the model, that is, to arrays in a JSON model or a collection in the OData model.
This implies that ANY aggregation can be used, no matter how it is named. Now, to go back to you example, the reason why "items" does not work, is because the FormContainer parent element has no aggregation with that name. Instead, you must use the "formElements" aggregation.
<f:FormContainer formElements="{viewmodel>/my/path/to/list}">
<f:formElements>
<f:FormElement label="{i18n>radioLabel}">
<f:fields>
<Input value="{viewmodel>radioLabel}"/>
</f:fields>
</f:FormElement>
</f:formElements>
</f:FormContainer>
Also, note that usually, you do not need to give an ID to the template or any of its children (the Input in your example has an ID), that is because that element specifically will not be part of the resulting control tree. It is just used to be cloned to create the "real" elements based on the model list.
Lastly, you have a "templateShareable" property on the VBox in your first example. VBox has no such property, so it does nothing (you actually use it correctly inside the binding specification for the "items" of the parent VBox).
Solution was...
An aggregation on the form...
<f:Form id="formCustomRadio" editable="true" visible="true" formContainers="{viewmodel>answers}">
Thanks a lot
You can use the VBox and then put the f:formElements inside the items.
Or else use Standard List.
FormElements or containers don't have aggregation items.

Typo3 6.2: Table Records in FCE (Flux)

I am trying to get a list of table-records in my FCE.
In documentation, i found the part "items" can use a Query.
But i can not find a way to make it work.
<flux:field.select name="myRecord" items="NOTHING WORKS HERE" label="Choose" maxItems="1" minItems="1" size="5" multiple="false" />
Does anybody know how the items can be filled with table-records ?
If you are trying to get the select box with all items maybe you can then switch to this:
<flux:field.relation size="1" minItems="0" table="tx_{YourExtensionName}_domain_model_{YourObjectName}" maxItems="1" name="package">
</flux:field.relation>
Of corse, you can use any table from the DB, like "pages"..
Hope it helps!

Umbraco - Displaying a specific image within a macro for-each child of certain node

Umbraco newbie here. I've researched a tonne but can't seem to find what I' looking for.
I have a site with a slider on the homepage, the slider is sitting in a macro which is using a for-each (of a nodes children) with a final goal to display the 'heroImage' image from that doctype. I cant post images as a newbie to this site, but heres my content structure:
HOME
PORTFOLIO
- First Item
- Another Item
ABOUT
CONTACT US
Home, Portfolio, ABOUT and CONTACT US are "Landing Pages" document types, and the children under Portfolio (First Item and Another Item) are "Portfolio Entries" document types. Below is the code on "Landing Page" calling the Slideshow macro.
Portfolio Entry has fields:
heroImage
images
body
Slideshow macro obviously being the highlight there. Easy enough. Heres my macro code where you'll see I'm trying to display the heroImage of the node in question for each 'for-each'.
<xsl:template match="/">
<!-- slider -->
<div id="slideshow">
<div id="slider" class="nivoSlider">
<xsl:for-each select="umbraco.library:GetXmlNodeById(1081)/*[#isDoc and position() < 4]">
<xsl:variable name="mediaId" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia(#id, 'false')/data [#alias = 'umbracoFile']" />
<xsl:if test="$mediaId > 0">
<xsl:variable name="mediaNode" select="umbraco.library:GetMedia($mediaId, 0)" />
<xsl:if test="count($mediaNode/data) > 0 and string($mediaNode/data[#alias='umbracoFile']) != ''">
<img src="{$mediaNode/data[#alias='umbracoFile']}" alt="[image]" />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</div>
</div>
<!-- data-transition="slideInLeft" -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(window).load(function() {
$('#slider').nivoSlider();
});
</script>
</xsl:template>
I feel like im so close, and ran out of search queries as most of the solutions I found were dependant on the imageId being passed onto the macro from the other side of the macro which wouldn't work.
Hope Ive explained this enough and thanks in advance for your help!
First of all, it looks like you're hardcoding the parent node id. In the code you just provided, it seems to only be getting the children of the node with id 1081. From reading what you just posted, it would seem that on all landing pages, you want to display their individual portfolio entries.
Either way, I would stay away from hardcoding IDs. If the node id changes in any way(user deletes the node, it gets exported as a package to the live environment, etc), your code will stop working. I'd just use $currentPage instead.
Judging by your filter, I imagine you only want the first 3 items to show in the slider. The code seems correct, but you seem to be using the old schema and its associated xpath. If you're using a newer version of Umbraco, the way you reference node data in xslt would have changed. I would guess that you've found many code examples and tried merging them together, without realising they wouldn't call the same schema.
This wiki link will provide more information, and hopefully fix your problem if you're using the wrong xpath.

iPhone: How to handle Core Data relationships

I'm new to Core Data and databases in general. Now I need to parse a XML and store the contents in Core Data. The XML looks something like this:
<books>
<book id="123A" name="My Book">
<page id="95D" name="Introduction">
<text id="69F" type="header" value="author text"/>
<text id="67F" type="footer" value="author text"/>
</page>
<page id="76F" name="Chapter 1">
<text id="118" type="selection">
<value data="1">value1</value>
<value data="2">value2</value>
<value data="3">value3</value>
</text>
</page>
</book>
<book id="124A"...
From my understanding I would need four Entities, like "Books", "Book", "Pages" and "Text". I wonder how to set the relationships correctly and how to add for example a Page object to a Book object and how to retrieve a Text object attribute's value? The tutorials I have found mostly deal with one Entity so I didn't really get the idea.. Gtrateful for any help!
No, you'd need three entities. You can think of "Books" as the CoreData database you're using. The CoreData database then includes a number of entities called book.
I think the data model you have is a bit weird, but I guess it makes sense for your application. To map it to CoreData I would:
Add the entities Book, Page, Text
Add a bookId, pageId, textId to them, respectively.
Then add a relation from Page to Book, and from Text to Page.
By then you should be able to print out a whole book by asking for all Pages that have
Book = the book you're interested in
and then order all those Pages by their pageId
and in order, ask for all texts that have
Page = the current page
then order those Texts by their textId.
What might be a problem is that a Text can have multiple Values, as seen in your XML above. You could use this by adding another entity called Value, but I would probably solve it by adding the attributes "value" and "type" to the Text entity directly. (You could then use "value" as a second sort key when printing out a page.
