Integrate ${Category.displayName} in Demandware content slot - categories

There is way to show ${Category.displayName} in regular Demandware Content Slot? Please let me know if there are other options how I can show actual category name inside a content asset.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Assuming this is a Category type content slot configuration you can access the categories you configured via ${slotcontent.content} which is an iterator of categories (you can use only the first element in your use case and ignore if there is more than one category).

Is it possible to have different styles in one element in Jaspersoft?

Let's say I need to print the full name of a person. What I originally did was to separate the first name and last name into two elements and placed them side by side since they needed different styling (this is just an example):
Lastname, Firstname
However, I found out after that I can't actually make their width dynamic because the developers made an effort not to allow it. So now I'm wondering if I can present the name with two different styles inside one element. Is this possible? How would I accomplish that? I hope you can help, thanks!
Okay so apparently you can. All you need to do is setup the markup attribute on the text field.
Refer here for more details: http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/sample.reference/markup/

How to know content type of an item stored in alfresco repository?

I have a number of custom content types created in alfresco repository & I am uploading a number of items in alfresco of these types.
After uploading I want to determine content type such as cm:content or lj:doc or lj:invoice etc. of an item in alfresco. I tried with ContentService & DictionaryService but not helpful.
How can i do it?

use the nodeService:
nodeService.getType(NodeRef nodeRef) returns QName
For more infos about the content type, you could use content.mimetype too !

silverstripe shortcode return dynamic template

I followed this instruction to be able to include a variable in the Content Field (HTMLEditor) of a Page - so that the variable can be replaced with other content:
http://www.balbuss.com/mini-introduction-to-shortcodes/
I want to display a list of dataobjects within the $Content.
Sadly the DummyHandler in the instruction is static. So I canĀ“t access the Controller in it, to let him do something (generate the list.)
Is there a solution to access the controller in a static function or maybe is there another better way to put a variable in the $Content.
Thx,
Florian
Controller::curr() is probably what you are after?
To use in conjunction with Controller::hasCurr(), as no controller would mean an error when using Controller::curr()
See https://github.com/silverstripe/sapphire/blob/3.0/control/Controller.php#L384

Salesforce: Auto-complete for Lookup field

I have a custom object known as "Companies".I have created a lookup field in a Visual Force page which gives me the list of companies name from the custom object " Companies".I have written a code which makes this lookup field auto-complete like what you have seen in the image attached.(First pic)
The problem: I don't know how to make the lookup field (which takes the list of companies name from custom object" Companies" in "Opportunities" standard object) auto-complete as done in the visual force page. Basically want the field highlighted in yellow in the second picture to auto-complete or give relevant suggestion when I type the first few characters.
Any help on this matter would be appreciated. Thank you
Have you tied enabling Auto Complete for your custom object the search page?
Click Your Name | Setup | Customize | Search | Search Settings.
Check the Lookup Auto-completion check box for your object.
This will give you auto-complete options for recently used items.
http://help.salesforce.com/help/doc/en/search_lookupdialog.htm#auto_complete
You will not be able to embed this customization into a standard page layout like you're using for the Opportunity object in your second screenshot. If that auto-complete is a must-have, then you really only have two options:
Replace the entire Opportunity page layout with a custom VF page
Write a VF component with just the Company lookup field in it and embed it into your Opportunity page layout (this will have to be in its own section, which probably won't look as nice)
This is what you want - http://tapp.ly/autocomplete/
Autocomplete Lookups for Salesforce enables any Salesforce Lookup field to support autocomplete suggestions. Autocomplete Lookups helps your users enter lookup fields reducing data entry tasks and error rates.
Salesforce records suggested as you start typing
Search All fields (Standard Salesforce Lookups only let you search by the Name field)
Results can show any field (E.g. Case Subject rather than Case Number)

How to fusion two content elements? / Does an all in one content element exist?

I need a content element that cointains apsects from the "Textpic" and the "Media" content elements.
Basically I need the whole palette of input masks of the textpic CE (headline, rte text, images) plus the media tab (swf, mp4, mov) from the media content element.
This special requirements for our project comes from the need that we can only use one content element for our specific javascript content slieder. So I can not use like a Textpic and underneath a media CE. No it really has to be just one CE which can handle the textpic + the media CE stuff.
Generally I ask you: Is there already a extension, trick, modification or a framework which I can/should be use to achive that i can "fusionate" content elements? Like an "all-in-one"-content element, a multi content element?
Ps: I do not use Templavoila. My Typo3 version is 4.5
I think this is the tutorial you're looking for:
http://castironcoding.com/resources/our-blog/sp/view/single/post/reason-6-for-choosing-typo3-custom-content-elements-and-extbase-again-part-23.html
Follow step 2 and 3.
You'll also need to add a specific rendering config in Typoscript ie: tt_content._your-ce_
But it can be copied from out of tt_content.textpic and tt_content.media. You can find the expample typoscript of before mentioned CE's in: typo3/sysext/css_styled_content/static/setup.txt. Just don't alter it there, but make a copy and alter in your own file.
As you seem to only talk about reusing already exisiting fields, you really only need to change the backend interface (big keyword: "showitem"). You'll need the database names of the fields (peek into the tt_content table of some records where you know the contents), alternatively visit the module Admin Tools / Configuration, select TCA in top dropdown menu, open tt_content and columns.
Try http://blog.chandanweb.com/typo3/adding-new-fields-to-existing-typo3-tables-at-desired-location, you'll of course have to substitue tt_content for tt_news etc.
You might also want to make a new type (the above recipe is for changing a preexisitent), but I'm sorry, I'm currently out of time for explaining that. It's not very hard, though, and the castiron link by Koopa will help you on your way.
Perhaps you can wrap the content column in another div? You can use that outer div for your content slider. Now you actually use all content elements seperately, but combine then for usage.
