drupal 8 display block in view footer/header - drupal-views

in drupal 8 core views, in any view you can add header or footer field with "Rendered entity - Custom block". When you do so, it asks for the block id, which appearently is machine name of the block.
A search form block has an id equal to bartik_search and that will make the search box to display.
But i have my own custom block created and it has Machine name: modallink and i want it to display instead.
Problem is, when i enter modallink into the "block id" box, it doesn't work. Nothing gets rendered.
What is ID of my custom modallink block?
Am I using the "Rendered entity - Custom block" field incorrectly?

It's horrible, but here is what seems to work:
Go to structure -> block layout
place your block in random area of your theme
go to the page settings and hide the block on all pages
but some invalid url (for example enter 'none'
go to your view, place the block in header / footer
click the checkbox for 'bypass access checks' in the setting-popup.

MS-Access 2007 Form cannot edit data until Form changed to Design View & back to Form View

Update: Manually losing the form and re-opening it also causes editing to be allowed, please see Step 4 below and "Additional Notes" section below. Thanks!
An MS-Access 2007 database that I have simplified a great deal during troubleshooting still has the same problem:
Restart Access and open the database
The autoexec calls a vba function that initializes some TempVars, then opens a form with: `DoCmd.OpenForm FormName:="MainEditor"
All Bound and Un-Bound Text Boxes and Combo Boxes display their data
correctly, but NONE of them can be edited. Keystrokes are ignored, pull-downs on Combo Boxes display lists of choices correctly but no choice can be selected.
Change the form's view to Design View, then immediately change it back to Form View. Alternatively, manually close the Form and then re-open it.
All the controls continue to display their data correctly, but now ALL of
them can be edited normally.
After changing to Design View and back to Form View, the Form is editable normally until Access is shut down and restarted.
Additional Notes:
I tried adding a DoCmd.Close and a DoCmd.FormOpen immediately after the original DoCmd.FormOpen in the startup function called by the Autoexec macro, but the Form remained unable to accept edits. Manually closing the form, and then manually re-opening it, seems to work every time. Is there any chance that Access needs a delay to process before opening the form, and manually doing the close/open cycle provides that time window?
Here's some background:
The Table has a primary index, 4 other indexes, and one-to-many relations to 7 other tables.
The Form's Record Source is the Table, and Allow Edits = Yes.
All the controls on the Form are set: Enabled = Yes, and Locked = No.
There are no sub-forms, only the one Form.
This isn't much to go on. If you ask for further specifics I'd be glad to provide them.
Thank you. Dave
Instead of using an Autoexec macro, specify a startup form.

Pass variable from component model to author dialog

I have a Sightly component with a (JavaScript) UseAPI model in an Adobe AEM/CQ site.
In the model, I have a variable that is calculated when the component loads and is not stored in the JCR (let's say it's a random string).
When an author opens the Granite/Touch UI dialog, there is a custom Granite UI component rendered with a JSP. The JSP has access to the scope of the component in the JCR, but as far as I can tell it does not have access to properties returned by the JavaScript model when rendering the component.
How can I pass/store this 'random string' variable from the Sightly/JavaScript UseAPI so that it can be accessed by the JSP of the dialog?
The variable is context-sensitive so I wouldn't want to store it in a permanent location such as the JCR. A good example may be a unique identifier for an external web service, that is unique for that particular rendering of the component.
I can think of a couple of approaches, with varying applicability:
Dialog field emptyText property: This just shows grayed out/hinting text and does NOT set any content that can possibly be rendered.
Dialog field defaultValue property: This looks very tempting, but I don't recall having success with it.
Dialog event handlers: (adding JavaScript inside the XML of a dialog definition). I am not a fan of this approach since it isn't obvious how/where the magic happens. But it is possible to update/populate fields on dialog load or dialog save.
Component cq:template: just like a page template, you can provide default content when dragging a component into a parsys. This doesn't work for components cq:included into the page/component. Also, it doesn't prevent the author from deleting the value altogether unless you add event handlers on the dialog.
Create a component model. The model can provide default content/values if properties are missing or not populated. The drawback is authors may not understand where magic values are coming from if dialog fields are blank. Once I worked around this by creating a tag that would use authored values, then fall back to dialog emptyText properties, then to possible template values to "fill in" the content. This takes some initial developer effort, but provided hints to the authors if the content was missing, or the component was included instead of dragged on, ...YMMV.
However, none of these may work for you if the value is "context sensitive" and has to be calculated somewhere/somehow. But if it is computed, then it probably shouldn't be authored.

FormControlName in ax 2012

is it possible to find the control name for control which is an edit method in ax 2012 form.
i.e how to find control name for edit method control.
I tried but could not find the correct name .
You can right click on the edit method and click "view details" and it will show you something like Fld_23 in the lower right corner.
Or if you need to dynamically determine this, I wrote a blogpost on how to recursively enumerate every control on the form. http://alexondax.blogspot.com/2014/05/how-to-use-recursion-to-loop-over-form.html
The controls are generated at runtime and there is a variable counter that just counts up as each new dynamic control is added during form runtime. So you can use the name you discover, as long as the form doesn't keep getting modified. It might be a good idea to just obtain the static group object or whatever that contains the edit method, then just find the child from there.
You must Right Click on form and click on Personalize option.
In personalization form , Goto information tab and Click on Edit form name.
Then You can see and edit form controls in AOT.
You can use below link for more information.

How to skip input control screen in Jasperserver (Using Hyperlink from Drill report)

Ok so I created a Drill down Report (lets call it DrillONE) which uses a hyperlink to drill down to a other report (lets call it DrillTWO)
the drill down report (DrillTWO) doesn't have Input controls because it gets all its info from the report that is calling it (DrillONE)
So the hyperlink to DrillTWO looks something like this
"./flow.html?_flowId=viewReportFlow&reportUnit=
%2FNWU%2FStudentInformation%2FAcademicProgramDevelopment%2FAPQIBI005drill
&startDate=" + new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd").format($P{startDate})"
Now my problem comes when Going back from DrillTWO to DrillONE (Without having to enter the input controles again and clicking RUN)
What happens is When I click the hyperlink back to DrillONE it sends the parameters and everything along fine, but it loads the input control screen and then the user has to run the report
I want it to go directly to DrillONE and run it, (Skip the input controle screen)
Is DrillONE set to always prompt for input controls? Turn this off.

How to add a basic signup form to a Concrete5 page template

I'm new to Concrete5 and have found a ton of information on adding contact forms, but only to the editable area of the page.
What I need to do is get a form into my page template. It's simply a name+email+submit button form to appear on every page for that template. On submission, a 'thanks' message... that's about it!
I've tried copy/pasting the code outputted into the page content to my default.php template but no luck with that. Thanks in advance for any help.
You should create a (global) editable area in the template, and then add a contact block to it just as you would otherwise.
E.g.:
<?php
$a = new GlobalArea('Contact Form');
$a->display();
?>
I agree with the other answer here... it's not worth the trouble to re-create a "hard-coded" contact form in your theme if you already have all the code working as a block. Here's a third technique you could use to achieve that -- you can hardcode just one block instead of the entire stack, like so:
<?php Block::getByName('My Global Contact Form')->display(); ?>
Put that code in your theme's template, and then add the contact form block to a stack in the dashboard (any stack, doesn't matter -- I usually create one stack of "global content" in my sites that I put all of these "hardcoded" blocks into). Then after you've added the block to the stack, click on the block and choose "Custom Template" from the popup menu. Then enter the block name into the field there (in this example, it would be "My Global Contact Form", without the quotes). Finally, click the "Approve Changes" button at the top of the stack.
You could approach this a couple of ways, but one way is to create a stack that has an contact form in it. Then, take the name of that stack and add it to your template.
So if the stack is called "Global Contact Form", then you could add the following to your template:
$stack = Stack::getByName('Global Contact Form');
if( $stack ) $stack->display();
