GTM up and running, main UA tag in place along with a ClickListener tag.
To reduce the number of macros, i use dataLayer variable Macros for event category, action, label, value & interaction, so they can be used for many rules and tags.
So i want to collect data from one link/button (Add to Fav), i add a rule to listen for the click using {{event}} equals gtm.click and {{Event Label}} equals Add_to_Fav (the label i push to the DL via onclick.
All good so far, but i need to create another UA tag (Track Type - event) that fires on the rule made previously. And this is my question, using this method seems to create many tags. If i have another 20 links that i want to collect data from, do i need to keep creating tags like this. Surely, this will affect page load speed with many tags firing on all pages.
Hope thats all clear.
If you need to retrieve the link text to use it as an event label you do not need many many event tracking tags, that would be horribly verbose. Instead you can use a custom javascript macro - the cool thing about them being that you can use existing macros inside your custom function.
If you create a click listener or link click listener this will create a few macros - one of them is {{element}}, which is the DOM element that received a click.
Now you create a macro of the type "custom java script", which must contain an anonymous function with a return value.
The barebones version of a function that retrieves the text of a clicked link would be
function() {
var el = {{element}};
return el.innerText;
}
(actually you do not need the variable assigment, you could use {{element}}.innerText directly).
You name the macro e.g. Linktext and use the macro {{Linktext}} in your single event tracking tag where it will dynamically be set to the value of the text of the clicked link (although you might want to check cross browser support for innerText, or maybe use innerHTML instead which serves in you use case probably the same purpose).

I need to make a page in SuiteCRM (v7.9 -- based loosely on Sugar 6.5 CE) that has a list of objects (of a custom module), with checkboxes in front of each one. So far, so good: that's a standard ListView.
The catch is that only some records should be in the list (filtering on whether there is an associated row in a related custom module/object).
This page needs to be distinct from the "regular" list for this module, which should indeed list all records.
It seems to me it makes sense to use a custom "action" to access this page view, and I can get my custom action code to fire with the right URL.
But I don't see how to hook in the filtering. At first, it looked like the process_record logic hook might be helpful here, but it just gives the bean for every record to be displayed. Unless there's a flag "display this record" that I'm not seeing, that's not so helpful.
Ideally, of course, I'd like to be able to inject a different WHERE clause in my custom controller action before calling
parent::action_listview();
to display the page, but I'm not seeing doc to indicate how that might work. I would include source code, but so far, the line above is everything (but boilerplate) that's in the controller.php file.
Create a copy of listview in custom folder and then override the listview's listViewProcess() method and insert your query there:
function listViewProcess() // generating listview
{
$this->processSearchForm();
if($this->where==''){
$this->where.="leads.status='Converted'";
}
$this->lv->searchColumns = $this->searchForm->searchColumns;
if(!$this->headers)
return;
$this->lv->setup($this->seed, 'custom/modules/Leads/ListView/ListViewGeneric.tpl', $this->where, $this->params);
echo $this->lv->display();
}

P.S: I'm not so sure about "v7.9 -- based loosely on Sugar 6.5 CE" I'd say it's 95% identical apart from API stuff
for custom modules in SuiteCRM.
You may change in function create_new_list_query.
I have a simple form that's in a dialog fragment used to submitting two fields for log-in auth.
For simplicity I was hoping to not have to use data binding, but rather use some method to gather all data inside my sap.ui.layout.form.SimpleForm.
I added a name property to each input element which says in the docs it is " Defines the name of the control for the purposes of form submission."
https://openui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/api/sap.m.InputBase/controlProperties#name
However hard as I try to find there doesn't seem to be any getFormData methods.
All SO questions and guides either use data binding to a model, or hard-code references to the individual input controls with .getValue() methods.
And looking further into the form API, there doesn't seem to be a Submit event either.
Given an arbitrary form, what would be the best way to gather all submission values without hard-coded references or data-binding?
Would a method that walks though all the children elements of a form looking for all submission values work? I think it might, but there are more submission input types then just the input component.
You can get the value of the fields by directly using;
var oField = sap.ui.getCore().byId('IdOfTheFieldAtTheDialog');
var sValue = oField.getValue();
But it's always better and convenient to use data binding which keep things neat.
And If I assume that you have the id of parent form container, you can iterate over the items and get the sap.m.Input elements in it without knowing the IDs of the individual inputs, and you may check the name property of the fields if you want. Check this snippet;

I'm trying to use Adobe DTM to pass the date to a prop variable but haven't had much success. The final output should be a prop report in Adobe that'll provide me traffic data for specific dates (5/11/16, 6/15/15 etc). The ultimate goal for setting the dates as a prop is to be able to classify a range of dates based on various business needs.
Could anyone point me in the right direction for getting this done? I am assuming I'll have to add a line of code in the s.code file that'll define s.prop5 = ...
Thanks
Based on your comments, it sounds like you are just looking to pop something with the current date stamp with "MM-DD-YYYY" format.
As Gigazelle mentioned, you can create a Data Element to return the value, and then reference it for setting your prop. However, throwing a data layer into the mix may be overkill for you, depending on your needs/limitations.
Data layers are meant for exposing data that DTM can't feasibly/reliably automate on its own via built-in features or hosting an autonomous js snippet.
The only reason you might want to consider having your site push it to a data layer, is if you want to generate the date via server-side coding to ensure the date is generated within the same timezone setting for all visitors. If you generate it client-side, it will be generated according to the visitor's browser/system settings. Since visitors are from all over the world in different timezones, the data may not be as consistent (even if you add additional code to change the timezone offset, it still may not be 100% based on browser version/security settings, or visitors who alter their browser/system date/timezone settings).
So, if you want to ensure the best accuracy, then I suggest you output the value via server-side code, and put into a data layer. How you do that depends on your server and what language you have at your disposal for your web pages being served up. Here is a very basic example using PHP:
<script>
var dataLayer = {
currentDate : '<?php echo date('m-d-Y'); ?>'
}
</script>
This will have the server generate the date stamp and output a js object called dataLayer with a property currentDate you can reference. You can create a Data Element as Type "JS Object" and for Path, put dataLayer.currentDate, and then reference your Data Element elsewhere (see below).
If that's too much trouble for you or if you want to keep it pure client-side/DTM and are okay with the potentially lower consistency...
Within DTM, go to Rules > Data Elements, and click Create New Data Element.
Name it "currentDate" (no quotes).
For Type, choose "Custom Script", and click Open Editor, and add the following:
var t=new Date(),d,m,y;
d=t.getDate();
d=d<10?'0'+d:d;
m=t.getMonth()+1;
m=m<10?'0'+m:m;
y=t.getFullYear();
return m+'-'+d+'-'+y;
Click Save and Close and Save Data Element.
Now you can reference the data element to pop prop5. How you do it depends on how you've setup Adobe Analytics within DTM. For example, if you set it up as a tool and only want it to pop on initial page view, you can open your AA tool config, go to the Global Variables dropdown, and set prop5 there. You reference it as %currentDate%
You can do the same %currentDate% syntax in a Page Load Rule or other rule or any other place that uses DTM's built-in fields.
Alternatively, if you need to reference it within javascript code (e.g. if you are setting prop5 within s.doPlugins or some other Custom Script box, you can reference the data element like this:
s.prop5 = _satellite.getVar('currentDate');
Set a JS variable on your site (such as within a data layer) that outputs the date in the format you wish to collect it in. Something like var d = Date();
In DTM, go to Rules > Data Elements and create a data element that maps to the JS variable you created on your site
If you want prop5 to be defined on every page, click the gear icon and map prop5 to your data element name by using %DataElementName% (whatever you named your data element in step 2, wrapped in percent signs). If you don't want it defined on every page, go to Rules and create a page load rule, event based rule or direct call rule depending on when you want the variable to trigger. Under the Adobe Analytics section of the rule, map prop5 to %DataElementName% .
This will allow you to collect dates as values, which can then be used in classifications.
In Drupal 7, is there a way to change the standard edit form for a content type based on a certain content?
For example:
I have a content type with a checkbox...once it it checked and the form is saved, I do not want this checkbox to be visible anymore...therefore based on the checkboxes value in the Database I want to hide form fields when showing the form.
I am building a small specific project site, where a company wants to add projects, and their customers are supposed to follow certain steps (upload some content, provide information etc.), and also should be able to check off certain requirements, and once these are checked off, they should not be visible/editable to them.
Also the displayed form fields should depend on an user's role, and then FURTHER be limited depending on the content's database entries.
Is there a module, which could achieve this behaviour? "rules" and "field/permissions" come close to what I need, but are not sufficient. Or did I just miss the option to change a form field's accessibility based on conditions?
What I need is some place to define a logic like "IF (VALUEOF(CHECKBOX_1) == TRUE) THEN DO_NOT_SHOW(CHECKBOX_1)"
hook_form_alter is the way to do this, as explained by Mihaela, but what options do you have inside that function?
If you want just to disable field (it will be visible, but user can't change it) you can do it like this:
$form['field_myfield']['#disabled'] = TRUE;
And if you want it to be hidden, but to keep value it has before editing the way to do that is:
$form['field_myfield']['#access'] = FALSE;
I.e. hiding it (somewhere I saw someone suggesting that):
hide($form['field_myfield']);
really hides the field, but after that, when form is saved this field has empty value, validation fails, etc, so that's not a good way to do this. Hiding makes sense only if you want to print separately that field later, at some other place.
function your_module_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id){
switch($form_id) {
case 'nameOfTheNode_node_form':
//your code here. check the value from from_state.
break;
}
}
In this case, I use module Conditional Fields https://www.drupal.org/project/conditional_fields
For example: If my Dependees field has a value, Dependent field can be visible/invisible, enabled/disabled, required/optional, checked/unchecked
I have a window with a search form at the top and grid at the bottom.
User can enter values in the search form and click button - Get Records.
At the click of this button, I load the store of the grid by passing the values in form fields as parameters in following way:
store.load({
params:{
key1:Ext.getCmp('field1').getValue();
}
});
I tried giving parameters in the store proxy itself, but it unfortunately always takes up initial values (values when the form is rendered) and not the latest one entered by the users in the form fields. Following is the method I used for assigning values to params while creating the store:
extraParams:{
key1:Ext.getCmp('field1').getValue();
}
I wanted to seek guidance at two things:
a. While defining a store, can I ensure that store takes latest/current values from the form fields before querying server, so that I don't have to provide these values while calling load function?
This becomes more necessary as I have a paging toolbar at the bottom which carries a refresh button (along with next, last, previous, first icons for navigation).
Now, whenever user clicks at refresh (or any navigation icon), the store gets loaded without the query parameters.
Thus the second thing is:
b. If the answer of 'a' is that - Pass the latest values to parameters manually when calling load function - then how can I write the handler for 'refresh' button and navigation icons (that is, next, last, previous and first) in the paging toolbar, so that I can pass the latest form values to load function.
Thanks for any help in advance.
PS: I am using ExtJS 4.
yourStore.on('beforeload',function(store, operation,eOpts){
operation.params={
status:cmbStatus.getValue(),
value:txtBuscarPor.getValue(),
empresa:'saasd',
app:'dsads'
};
},this);
Related to your question (b) (and because you especially asked for this in the comments section):
I see only one standard way to hook into the PagingToolbar button handlers which is very limited.
Ext.toolbar.Paging fires a 'beforechange' event before it actually changes the current page. See API docs. A listener that returns false will stop the page change.
All other methods require extending Ext classes which wouldn't be a problem if the ComboBox would make it easier to use your own implementation of BoundList (which is the class that renders the dropdown) or pass through config parameters to BoundList resp. the paging toolbar.
I tried to bring this lack of flexibility up on the Ext message board once but was pretty much ignored.
A possible solution for this is to use 'beforeload' event of the store and provide the list of parameters in it. This way, whenever the store is loaded, then its beforeload event is fired and the values picked up are always the latest. Hope this helps someone looking for something similar.
