I am creating a custom theme for Magento 2. I need to customize the layout existing in app/design/frontend/[Vendor]/[CustomTheme]/Magento_Theme/layout] whose name is default.xml.
I have changed it by adding and changing some things, however, changes are not taken into account. I always see the original layout.
I have disabled cache, however, just in case, I have flushed it but it was unsuccessful.
How can I reload the layout? maybe it was stored in database, but, how can I refresh it?

I want to retrieve data from Sqlserver database with EntityFramework core and do crud operations and show data table to client without refreshing the page (Realtime) , is there any source or example in this case ?
Not sure there is a definitive source for this, but it's not that hard to build yourself.
It should be relatively straight forward. In general you'd need
A model for the grid that defines the properties to show and edit, and also which row is selected.
An HTML Helper to change the rows from read-only to editable
A view to display the table.
An [edit] action link for each row enables you to select a row by ID for editing, and after clicking it, reloads the page and then the view can respond accordingly to change the type of the row from read-only to editable.
You could use Blazor or maybe Ajax to change a row from read-only to editable without refreshing the page, but I'm not sure if you need to meet certain requirements that discard using either of them.
John Ciliberti has written a recipe for a book, that works just like I described, find it on his Github page to get some ideas of what's involve.
If you need a more out-of-the-box solution, perhaps consider wiring up DataTables.js.
I created a plugin that should upload the contact entity "entityimage" to an external storage.
The code itself should works (it works as a console app), but I am unable to add a step that trigger on "entityimage" change as I can't find it in the filtering attribute list in the Plugin Registration Tool.
Is there a way to trigger this plugin only when "entityimage" change?

Reviewing the Contact's entityimage field in the Metadata Browser indicates that it is a "Virtual" field, which may be why it is unavailable as a filtering attribute.
Also, according to the SDK there does not appear to be any other message available besides "Update" on the Contact that could be used to indicate that the entityimage has changed.
And, changing the image through the UI does create an Audit History entry, however, it is a generic "Update" entry, with the old value and new value blank.
It appears that triggering a plugin on change of only the entityimage field is not possible, nor do there appear to be any OOB hooks to see if that field has changed.
The only other think I can think to research is Change Tracking. Otherwise it looks like you may have to upload the image on any Update of a Contact.
Or, you could sync the image URL's from CRM to an external system and compare the one in CRM to the external system before uploading.
Strangely enough, if you don't set any filtering attributes the plugin does get triggerd when changing the image, but i guess this also means that all field changes will trigger it.
I'm trying to create subpanel in Account detail view where list of elements is fetched from external REST service.
I know how to define subpanel, but have no idea how to fill it with data from external network source. Was trying to use get_subpanel_data but there I can only change SQL.
Any ideas how can I do this?
When I've done this in the the past, at least with Sugar 6, I opted distinctly not to try to create a true subpanel. The data being loaded is coming from an outside source and is loaded dynamically with the page, so why present it as if it's static data coming from Sugar? Instead, I created a custom Smarty template to use as the footer on the detail page. For such an example, you can check how it works on the Calls Edit View. I think it's the footerTpl parameter in the detailviewdefs.php or editviewdefs.php. I loaded the smarty template by creating a custom detail view for my module, so custom/modules/MyModule/views/view.detail.php - extend the base Detail View class and override the display to feed Smarty new params, then your Smarty template only needs to iterate through and present the data that your view defined.
To be super-hip and abide by MVC, you could even put your custom code into your bean (if it's a custom module) or into a custom controller method, then reference that from the view.detail.php, and still feed it from there to the Smarty template.
Alternatively, you could just load JavaScript into the Smarty template and use the JavaScript to call the third-party service, parse and present it, etc.
I realize this question is a little bit old now however it comes up fairly often so why not provide an answer with a couple possible solutions. I won't get into code but more just into the design theory of how it can work. If someone needs more specific code help then that is another question.
A couple ideas...
As you mentioned you can define a custom Function which will load in Data to the SubPanel from your own SQL Query. That is one method that I just recently got to finally put to use after knowing about it for a good year and a half.
When you go this route, you are restrained to using the Columns in the SubPanel. I assume it is using the actual Metadata files to determine which Field Columns a SubPanel can use so you pretty much need your custom data in a Database table to have the same column names as the fields defined in the SubPanel Metadata.
Obviously this works great in the right situation, however not always and that leads us into the 2nd method I know of.
The other way is pretty much what #Mattew-Poer mentioned in his answer. It means abandoning the SubPanel altogether and instead generating your own HTML. This is by far my favorite and prefered way of doing it and I have been some really custom modules due to this being possible in a custom module! I will show an example below.
(Click HERE to View full size image)
In the screenshot, you can see in this example that I have something looking Similar to a SubPanel however it is not and is much for flexible and easy to customize.
Example, to the far left column in my fake subpanel is image checkboxes. When clicked on, an AJAX request is made to change the Task row Status.
After that, the checkbox image is updated to indicate the new Status state, the Modified DateTime is updated, the Status column has color background SPANS and is also updated with the correct text and background color when the left side checkbox is clicked.
Doing any of this with the standard SubPanels is a complete nightmare and would be difficult to do some of the stuff that you are open to do when you build your own version of a SubPanel.
With that said, I have built an identical clone of the above screenshot using SugarCRM default SubPanels! It was a nightmare. I could easily update the content and HTML in some of the columns. I even had the AJAX click checkbox image to update and do all the other updates I mentioned above. It wasn't too hard and worked fairly good but it had some issues.
When you do inline edit, inline create record, or subpanel paging to load different set of record. You would then lose all the custom HTML formatting that was applied. The reason is, in the SubPanel you are limited to using the After UI load logic hook. So since the "Page" is loaded already, when an AJAX request is made to add/edit the subpanel content or load a new set of items with the paging links. It only loads the SubPanel content on those events and the whole Page content does not reload. Because the logic hook only fires off 1 time after the page loads, this newly loaded subpanel data doe not receive any of your custom HTML formatting.
In my case, this means that nice looking colored background Status spans are lost, the image checkboxes are lost, and some other functionality is lost.
Now to get super technical, I could have gone another 3rd route and instead made new Custom Field Types for each SubPanel filed that I needed to apply custom HTML to. This process is super hard in my experience and in some cases it really isn't the BEST solution.
Because of the reason explained, this is why my new modules use the Custom HTML route to generate my own version of a custom subpanel or whatever Data is needed in my Module pages! So far it is working better than I imagined and has opened doors for me to build custom SugarCRM modules that I previously didn't even realize would be possible to build due to some of the issues I mentioned above. Now I bypass them altogether and open the door to do pretty much anything!
I've got some really cool stuff for SugarCRM in the works right now. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask in a new question or for me personally in a comment here.
I have edited my existing smart form in smart form configurations in settings menu.
Then I have published and updated the smart form in contents folder properties.
Now I went to particular content which is using that particular smart form in CMS 400 editor and I can see the changes.
But when I go through the page in browser it still shows the old smart form.Unable to reflect changes in browser. please help me.
Thanks in advance
It would help to know what version you're running. That being said, there are a few things that could be going on here...
Caching
FrameworkAPI caching might be turned on, in which case you'd have to wait for the cache expiration or recycle the app pool in order to see updated content. Caching is enabled in web.config by changing the defaultContainer property in this section to Cache.
<ektron.framework.services>
<unity configSource="ektron.cms.framework.unity.config"/>
<framework defaultContainer="Default" childContainer="BusinessObjects"/>
</ektron.framework.services>
Republish the content
Changes to a smart form definition won't immediately trickle down to all content blocks using that particular smart form. If you add a field (for instance), that field won't exist on any content blocks unless you open up that content block in edit mode and republish it. It will automatically be added to the content block when you click Edit, but that change won't be saved until you click publish.
For my specific implementation, it makes sense to only use the 2 column layout on both the site and user dashboards. I want to make this the default layout and pick which dashlets I'm going to use, as I'm going to create a large number of sites and users and don't want to manually go through and edit the layout for each one.
I've successfully commented-out sections of the presets.xml located in /tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-data/presets such that when I create a new user, only the dashlets left uncommented are shown, however the dashlets are still shown in the 3 column layout. If anyone could tell me what I'd need to edit to make this layout default and/or how to define the region-id's, I'd be extremely grateful.
I've been looking for where the user's layout config is stored so I could set the dashboard up as I want it to be in the preset and then look at this user's config to get figure out how to put this in as the default in presets.xml but I can't find where they're put.
