How can I change the status bar text in an ADempiere window in order to show a message when a new record is created?
Also, how can I create a pop-up that appears when a new record is created?
You can put a message in center of window when a new record is created, this function already exists on iDempiere, but on ADempiere you'll need to change code for each docaction, or for each table you code is listening for.
On Idempiere you can check the code of class AbstractADWindowContent.java on package org.adempiere.ui.zk
check this link , line 2104
You can put a status message in status bar in Adempiere using the following method in org.compiere.model.GridTable
/**
* Create and fire Data Status Info Event
* #param AD_Message message
* #param info additional info
*/
protected void fireDataStatusIEvent (String AD_Message, String info)
{
DataStatusEvent e = createDSE();
e.setInfo(AD_Message, info, false,false);
fireDataStatusChanged (e);
}
You will find an example of its use within the same class, when a row is saved via the dataSave(boolean) method. If all goes to plan and record is saved at the end of the method you'll see
fireDataStatusIEvent("Saved", "");
This puts the default “Saved” message see in the application when you click save in any tab.
There are two recommended approaches to customising Adempiere.
Callouts; are used to add complex defaulting & validation in the
User Interface
Model Validators; are used to apply business logic or validation when a number of data model events, such as a record being saved, occur. But, not all changes are happening at the time the UI events are occurring... as with the accounting module, for example, so the model validator mechanisms assume no user interface exists.
Your requirement to have something happen in the UI when a data model event occurs falls between the two. For your requirement it might be easiest just to modify this default message (highlighted above in dataSave()) to display what you would like. But GridTable is at the core of the application so keep in mind that any time you update/upgrade Adempiere in the future you will need to make this modification again!

I recently moved my code from SDK v3 to v4 and I am trying to take advantage of the multi-turn features.
I have looked over the samples from GitHub. The samples work well for multi-turn but one issue I noticed is that it recognizes the context only if the prompt is clicked immediately after the initial answer (with prompts) is shown.
I would like to be able to identify, at any given time that a prompt is clicked. I am storing all the previous prompts in the state object (dialogInstance.State) already. I have a custom host, which sends the replytoid and using that I can get the appropriate state.
The problem is though, I am not able to get to a point where I can use the dialoginstance.State.
The sample code uses the DialogExtensions class. The "DialogExtensions" class tries to gather the previous context by checking if the result from the ContinueDialogAsync method returns null or not.
DialogExtensions class with multi-turn
When there is no previous context (no previous answer with prompts), then the call to the ContinueDialogAsync returns a result with Empty Status.
I am thinking this where I need to check the dialogstate and if the new message refers to any of the old messages at any given point, it can then start to continue the old conversation.
I am not sure if that is even possible.
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
thanks,
I eventually ended up implementing something that will work for custom bot host/direct channel bot client.
The whole point is that the call to the qnamaker api should happen with the old context object, whenever an option is chosen, even if it is out-of-context.
First let me explain how it works in the current version of the code.
The way the bot code was trying to solve multi turn dialog, was by storing the current answer if it had prompts/options and returning the conversation state in "waiting" mode. When the next question is received, it would automatically assume that the new question is part of the prompts/options of the old question. It would then pass the oldstate along to the QnAMaker.
What I noticed is that, even if the question in the second turn is not part of the prompts/options (something the user has typed manually and is a completely different question), it would still send the oldstate object to the QnAMaker.
The QnAMaker api call seem to ignore oldstate if the new question is not part of the prompts/options of the oldstate. It will work correctly by fetching the answer for the new question that was typed manually.
This was the key. If we can focus on what gets to the qnamaker then we can solve our original problem.
I realized that having the bot return a waiting state is only a mechanism to create a condition to extract the oldstate in the next turn. However, if I can rebuild the oldstate anytime when there is an option chosen, then the call to the qnamaker would work equally well.
This is what I have done now.
In my custom bot host code (which is a direct line client), I am sending the ReplyToID field populated with the original question whenever a prompt is clicked. Then in the bot code, I have changed it so that if there is a replytoid present, then build a new oldstate object with the data from the reply to id. Below is the QnABotState class that represents the oldstate. its a very simple class containing previous qna question id and the question text.
public int PreviousQnaId { get; set; }
public string PreviousUserQuery { get; set; }
QnABoState class
Now, the problem was the Activity object contains ReplyToId but does not contain ReplyToQuery (or something like that). Activity object is used to send data from bot client to the bot. So, either I would have to use a different field or send the PreviousUserQuery as an empty string. I had a hunch that it would work with just the previousqnaid.
//starting the process to get the old context (create an object that will hold the Process function's current state from the dialog state)
//if there is replyToId field is present, then it is a direct channel request who is replying to an old context
//get the reply to id from summary field
var curReplyToId = "";
curReplyToId = dialogContext.Context.Activity.ReplyToId;
var curReplyToQuery = "";
var oldState = GetPersistedState(dialogContext.ActiveDialog);
//if oldstate is null also check if there is replytoid populated, if it is then it maybe a new conversation but it is actually an "out of turn option" selection.
if (oldState == null)
{
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(curReplyToId))
{
//curReplyToId is not empty. this is an option that was selected out-of-context
int prevQnaId = -1;
int.TryParse(curReplyToId, out prevQnaId);
oldState = new QnABotState() { PreviousQnaId = prevQnaId, PreviousUserQuery = curReplyToQuery };
}
}
With that in place, my call to the qnamaker api would receive an oldstate object even if it is called out-of-context.
I tried the code and it worked. Not having the previous qna query did not make a difference. It worked with just the PreviousQnaId field being populated.
However, please note, this will not work for other channels. It would work for channels where you can set the ReplyToId field, such as the Direct Channel Client.
here is the code from my bot host:
// to create a new message
Activity userMessage = new Activity
{
From = new ChannelAccount(User.Identity.Name),
Text = questionToBot,
Type = ActivityTypes.Message,
Value = paramChatCode,// + "|" + "ShahID-" + DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay,
Id = "ShahID-" + DateTime.Now.TimeOfDay,
ChannelData = botHostId//this will be added as the bot host identifier
};
//userMessage.Type = "imBack";
if (paramPreviousChatId > 0)
{
//we have a valid replytoid (as a part of dialog)
userMessage.ReplyToId = paramPreviousChatId.ToString();
}
I want to create a standard typo3 extension but when I create a record (or modify it) I want to calculate something (in my case I want to call the Google Map API to get coordinates from a given address).
SO I search for a hook or something. Any idea?
One of my project example, may helps you for hook in backend when record has been changed.
In your extension file ext_localconf.php
// Hook for cancellation
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['t3lib/class.t3lib_tcemain.php']['processDatamapClass'][] = 'EXT:femanager/class.tx_femanager_tcemainprocdm.php:tx_femanager_tcemainprocdm';
hook file class.tx_femanager_tcemainprocdm.php where you can execute
your script
class tx_femanager_tcemainprocdm{
function processDatamap_postProcessFieldArray ($status, $table, $id, &$fieldArray, &$reference){
// $status also called action like delete
// $table - table name of excute backend action
// $id - record UID
// $fieldArray - fields of your table
if($table = 'your_extension_table_name'){
// your script
}
}
}
Maybe this answer is useful to you.
Register your class as a data handling hook in your extension. This one "is called AFTER all commands of the commandmap" were executed. Maybe you need to look for a more appropriate one.
Then in your registered Hook i.e. 'typo3conf/ext/your_ext/Classes/Hooks/AfterCreate.php' do your calculation. Hope this sets you on the right track.
In my special case there was no need to calculate the coordinates when the record got saved. So I just used the listAction in the controller, check if coordinates are there and if not call the Google API (and send an email if the Google API does not give a coordinate back).
In another case where the new record comes from a frontend plugin and I had to do something with this data I used the createAction in the Controller. (I am not sure if the createAction is also called when the record is created from the backend.)
I am binding an aggregation to a table . I couldn't find an event which is triggered after the binding is complete . There is "updateFinished" event for sap.m.List , which is exactly what I am looking for in a Table (and a dropodown). I thought of using attachRequestCompleted() on the model , but the model is used at other places where I do not want this event to trigger.
Is there anyway to trigger a event once the databinding is complete on a Table (and a dropdown)?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
update: There is "updateFinished" event for table extended from ListBase. I am still not sure how I missed it before I posted this question. But, the question is still valid for a dropdown and TableSelectDialog controls.
I also stumbled upon that problem, but in a different Context.
I have a Grid layout in which I dynamically load Panels via an oData Model.
Therefore I have entered the path in my XML Grid-View element.
<l:Grid id="grid" content="{some path...}">...</l:Grid>
Now I wanted to set the grid view busy and when the data is loaded revert this.
Therefore I use the Binding of the grid view.
In the Controllers onInit method I have added:
this._oGrid = this.getView().byId("grid");
this.getRouter().attachRouteMatched(this._onRouteMatch.bind(this));
Please note that the bind method is not available in every browser. You need to apply a polyfill. (See https://developer.mozilla.org/de/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Function/bind)
Also Bind has nothing to do with the binding :D
I needed to do this because the Binding is not available in the onInit function.
The _onRouteMatched function:
var oContent = this._oGrid.getBinding("content");
oContent.attachDataReceived(function(oData) {
this._oGrid.setBusy(false);
}.bind(this));
Now when the data is received the busy option is set to false.
If you want to show a 'loading' indicator for your table while the data is still loading (and thus not bound), I think the best approach is the following:
Use a dedicated JSONModel which holds only UI-specific stuff, like toggling enabled/readonly/busy/etc properties of controls.
In your case, something like:
var oUIModelData = {
tableIsBusy : false,
//etc, things like :
btnSubmitEnabled : false,
someControlVisible : true
};
var oUIModel = new sap.ui.model.json.JSONModel();
oUIModel.setData(oUIModelData);
sap.ui.getCore().setModel(oUIModel, "UIModel");
In your table definition, bind the busy property to {UIModel>/tableIsBusy} and set the table's property busyIndicatorDelay to 0 to avoid any delays
Just before you do your OData service call, set the property tableBusy to true. This will immediately show the busy overlay to your table:
sap.ui.getCore().getModel("UIModel").setProperty(tableIsBusy, true);
//here your OData read call
In your OData service's requestCompleted (and if needed, also in requestFailed) event handlers, set the busy property of the UIModel back to false:
sap.ui.getCore().getModel("UIModel").setProperty(tableIsBusy, false);
The big benefit of this approach is (IMHO) instead of relying on each control to check whether the data has been loaded, simply do it during the actual load.
And by binding these UI-related things to a (separate) model saves you from writing lots of extra code ;-)
In general you could solve the problem by using batch processing on the OData service. According to https://sapui5.netweaver.ondemand.com/docs/guide/6c47b2b39db9404582994070ec3d57a2.html:
Use OData model v2.
var oModel = new sap.ui.model.odata.v2.ODataModel(myServiceUrl);
Define a set of deferred batch groups.
oModel.setDeferredBatchGroups(["myGroupId", "myGroupId2"]);
Add the batch group information to the corresponding bindings, e.g:
{
path:"/myEntities",
parameters: {
batchGroupId: "myGroupId"
}
}
All read/query actions on bindings in a certain batch group will be held back until a .submitChanges(.) call on the batch group is made.
oModel.submitChanges({
batchGroupId: "myGroupId",
success: mySuccessHandler,
error: myErrorHandler
});
Use the success/error handlers to execute actions.
This rather generic approach gives you additional control such as trigger actions, grouping and event handling on the OData model.
Hi i am using Enterprise library 5.0 to log messages in text file, as a part of that i need to log collection of messages to the text file .
Below is the part of code which logs to text file using flatfilelistener
public void LogToFile(string message, string category, IDictionary<string, object> additionalDetail)
{
var logger = EnterpriseLibraryContainer.Current.GetInstance<LogWriter>();
logger.Write(message, category, 0, 0, TraceEventType.Error, string.Empty, additionalDetail);
}
The above will log single message in text file, like that i will call for each item in collection which i need to log.
So , how to log everything in single stretch? like placing in buffer and updating logfile on single stretch.
I guess there is one property named "AutoFlush" but i don't know how to use that.
using auto flush
That is likely your best bet. Just let the buffer handle it or create a custom flush mechanism that you can call at a specified duration such as the end of a http request or if you are paranoid perhaps when an application crashes and you can't trust autoflush to work.
I want to create a jface wizard and collect credentials as I go along - password and username on page 1 and then on page 2 I want to display a list I get from an oracle database.
I am using eclipse, and have all the controls in the places I want. On page 2 I put the oracle connection details and sql statement in the createControl method of wizardpage. This seems to fail with a class not found (ojdbc6.jar included in my build path) which I can't decide whether this is an eclipse issue or my code (my code works when it is standalone, not in a wizard)
The failure happens when I start the wizardpage, which it probably will do as I havent got the correct credentials at that point. I couldn't find a method in the wizardpage documentation for running stuff when you enter that wizardpage. Is there a method that runs on entry?
I want to connect to the database to pull down a list to populate a table.
Cheers
David
The createControl method gets called on all pages when the Wizard is opened. You should use createControl only to layout SWT or JFace objects.
You probably want to initialize the JDBC connection when the second page becomes visible. At that point you would then load your list on the page. To do that, override the setVisible method on the second page as follows:
/* (non-Javadoc)
* #see org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.DialogPage#setVisible(boolean)
*/
#Override
public void setVisible(boolean visible) {
super.setVisible(visible);
if(visible){
// initialize the jdbc connection here - use a data access object
// use the connection or the DAO to populate your list
}
}
This way the connection will be initialized when the second page becomes visible. Another useful thing to do from the setVisible method is to assign the focus to the right control by calling forceFocus() on the relevant control.
