Retrieve Activities of an entity in CRM 2011 using CRM sdk rest - rest

I have used SDK Rest javascript that came with CRM SDK kit to retrieve attributes (fields) of crm entities, manipulate the same.
For example I use this SDK rest javascript as follows in my web resource;
var options = "$select=FullName,SystemUserId&$filter=(IsDisabled eq false) and (AccessMode/Value ne 3)";
SDK.REST.retrieveMultipleRecords("SystemUser", options, retrieveUsersCallBack, function (error) { alert(error.message); }, UserRetrieveComplete);
I would like to know if there is a way to retrieve "notes and activities" mainly emails regarding a particular entity, so that i can move the same to another entity based on certain condition.
Thank you all
Sorry I just landed on the answer which is as follows
var options = "$select=Lead_Emails&$expand=Lead_Emails&$filter=LeadId eq guid"+"'"+idOfCurrentLead+"'";
But I would like to know how do i move these emails to another entity (opportunity) record on qualify.

var options = "$select=Lead_Emails&$expand=Lead_Emails&$filter=LeadId eq guid"+"'"+idOfCurrentLead+"'";
Sorry Guys I just figured out the answer.

Need Yii2 Equivalent of Zend_Session_Namespace

I am currently migrating an old Zend 1.1 website and need a replacement for the uses of Zend_Session_Namespace.
Does one exist for Yii2? Or alternatively is there a plugin or something to add this functionality?
-Edit:
Specifically the ability to set expiry timeouts and hop limits like Zend has.
Thank you.
UPDATE
The info you have added in the edit was never mentioned earlier and makes your question too broad you might create a separate question for that.
By default session data are stored in files. The implementation is locking a file from opening a session to the point it's closed either by session_write_close() (in Yii it could be done as Yii::$app->session->close()) or at the end of request. While session file is locked all other requests which are trying to use the same session are blocked i.e. waiting for the initial request to release the session file. this can work for dev or small projects. But when it comes to handling massive concurrent requests, it is better to use more sophisticated storage, such as a database.
Zend_Session_Namespace instances provide the primary API for manipulating session data in the Zend Framework. Namespaces are used to segregate all session data, if you are converting the script to Yii2 framework you might need to look into https://www.yiiframework.com/doc/api/2.0/yii-web-session
A simple example to compare both of the functionalities by example are
Zend Framework 1.1 Counting Page Views
$defaultNamespace = new Zend_Session_Namespace('Default');
if (isset($defaultNamespace->numberOfPageRequests)) {
// this will increment for each page load.
$defaultNamespace->numberOfPageRequests++;
} else {
$defaultNamespace->numberOfPageRequests = 1; // first time
}
echo "Page requests this session: ",
$defaultNamespace->numberOfPageRequests;
Yii2 Framework Counting Page Views
public function actionIndex()
{
$session = new \yii\web\Session();
$session->open();
$visits = $session->get('visits', 0);
$visits = $visits+1;
$session->set('visits', $visits);
return "Total visits $visits";
}

Add a subpanel record to a SugarCRM account through REST API

Question: How do I create a subpanel record through the SugarCRM rest api endpoint for accounts?
Steps taken so far:
I've added a new package called, "transactionHistory" with a module named, "InvoiceHistory" using the SugarCRM studio.
I added a One to Many relationship to the Accounts module using studio.
I'm using NetSuite to push new invoices to the new module's record via the subpanel "create" option. Here's the code I'm using:
function createSugarTransaction(transaction, token) {
var url = 'https://crm.techsoft3d.com/rest/v10/Accounts/' + transaction.customer;
var headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"OAuth-Token": token
};
var now = (new Date()).toISOString();
var body = {transactionHistory_InvoiceHistory:
{
create: [{
name: transaction.docId,
transaction_date_c: transaction.date,
invoice_status_c: transaction.status,
due_date_c: transaction.duedate,
total_amount_c: transaction.total,
amount_due_c: transaction.remaining,
start_date_c: transaction.startdate,
end_date_c: transaction.enddate
}]
}
};
var response = nlapiRequestURL(url, JSON.stringify(body), headers, 'PUT');
return response;
}
The transaction object has been validated and the json object within the create: [] array has matching sugar fields (key) with the corresponding transaction object values.
When making the API call to sugar I'm successfully authenticated and have access to the custom module and accounts - so no problem there. However, when the call is returned to response it's showing the following error:
{"error":"no_method","error_message":"Could not find a route with 1 elements"}
I'm unsure of what else is needed in order for the record to be created. According to sugar's help documentation and developer community this should work. I'm using the basic information provided by sugarcrm support portal:
http://support.sugarcrm.com/Documentation/Sugar_Developer/Sugar_Developer_Guide_7.6/API/Web_Services/Examples/v10/module_POST/
According to other blog posts within the developer community, it should be as simple as adding the subpanel name, followed by an array of fields under the "create" object... similar to this:
var requestBody = { package_module:create[{name:value}]};
My initial thinking of what's wrong is:
1. my package_module name isn't correct, but I'm unable to find it anywhere within the applicaiton or help documentation.
2. the request body isn't formatted properly, even though it's structure was copied from this article https://developer.sugarcrm.com/2014/02/28/sugarcrm-cookbook2/
Any help would be appreciated.
try the createRelatedRecord api endpoint
type {sugarurl}/rest/v10/help to see a list of endpoints to look through, most of which have documentation and examples
https://crm.techsoft3d.com/rest/v10/help
your API url should have the name of the link (relationship) you want, in addition to the values in the POST payload
https://crm.techsoft3d.com/rest/v10/Accounts/{transaction.customer}/link/accounts_transactionhistory (or whatever your link's name is)
per the documentation for this endpoint, you just specify the field values in the payload
{
"first_name":"Bill",
"last_name":"Edwards"
}

Get the first product id in a magento system via soap api (2)?

Question: Is there a way (api call) to get the first product id in a magento install via the soap api.
I'm attempting to download all the products from a magento system and insert them into a different database (I do the conversion myself so that's not a bother) What is hard to understand though is how do I get a list of the product id's without getting all of them, if all I know is that the site is up.
Here's the info I have.
soap end point
soap username
soap apikey (aka password)
Here's what I don't know.
the id of any of the products
the date any of the products were created on or last edited.
For my initial load, I have to do a where product id in, because I expect 20 to 40k product lists won't come back in one soap call.
So I call
where id in (1 -> 100) Nope
where id in (101-> 200) Nope..
Now as you can imagine that code smells something fierce. It works, but I have to think there is a better way..
To expand my question: Is there a better way?
I can post the XML that I'm sending if that helps. The language I'm using to create the soap(xml) is vim, so I don't have code I can paste.
Try This
$client = new SoapClient('http://localhost/magento8/index.php/api/soap/?wsdl');
$session = $client->login('soap username', 'soap apikey');
$filters=array('entity_id'=>array(array('lt'=>'1','gt'=>'100')));//get fist 100 result
$result = $client->call($session, 'catalog_product.list',array($filters));
var_dump($result);

Data Security using Entity Framework

What options/solutions are there for securing data using Entity Framework?
I do not talk about forms login and such here, just assume that the users are authenticated or not.
To illustrate, i attached one of my web api controllers and i wonder if this is the way to do it. The reason why i ask is that i wonder if there are easier ways to do this than writing all this logic to what data to expose in all my controllers.
Also, when looking into a system like breezejs and odata where i can add $expand=TrafficImages to my queries, i would not want users to be able to get my hole database.
So to summarize, what ways are there to securing the data exposed such the users cant download sensible data.
[AllowAnonymous]
public object GetTheoryTests()
{
var identity = ((ClaimsIdentity)((ClaimsPrincipal)HttpContext.Current.User).Identity);
//if (HttpContext.Current.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
if (!identity.IsAuthenticated)
return db.TheoryTests.Include(t=>t.TrafficImages).Where(t=>t.PublicAvalible)
.Select(t => new { Id = t.Id, Title = t.Title, Images = t.TrafficImages }).AsEnumerable();
if (User.IsInRole("WebAdmins"))
return db.TheoryTests.AsEnumerable();
var key = identity.GetProvider();
var member = db.Members.Include(m=>m.PayedTheoryTests).SingleOrDefault(m=>m.Identities.Any(
i=>i.identityprovider == key.provider &&
i.nameidentifier == key.id));
if(member!=null)
return db.TheoryTests.Include(t => t.TrafficImages).Where(t => t.PublicAvalible).Select(t => new { Id = t.Id, Title = t.Title, Images = t.TrafficImages }).AsEnumerable();
else
return db.TheoryTests.Include(t => t.TrafficImages).Where(t => t.PublicAvalible)
.Union(member.PayedTheoryTests).Select(t => new { Id = t.Id, Title = t.Title, Images = t.TrafficImages }).AsEnumerable();
}
When thinking about it, what i miss is something like a viewmodel untop of my database depending on the state of the user. Would it be a solution to create two entity frameworks ontop of the same database, one for limited data display and one for more advanced operations?
Meanwhile, until QueryInterceptors arrive, you should take other steps. First, you should look into the techniques for securing a Web API controller or method, a subject beyond the scope of this answer.
Second, w/r/t $expand, you are quite right to be wary of that feature. You may want to inspect which expansions are requested for some controller methods and/or disallow it altogether for others.
Fortunately, this is relatively easy to do. You have access to the request query string. You can detect the presence of "$expand" in that string and analyze it if you want to allow certain expansions and forbid others.
Breeze will add helpers for this in future. You'll have to process the string until then.
You may want to create your own action filter for this purpose if you're up to it.
Great question!. We are currently working on something called QueryInterceptors that will allow you to examine and possibly change or reject the query that was submitted to the server. The "Principal" would be a available context object within each QueryInterceptor method. Please vote for this feature on the "Breeze" website at www.breezejs.com.

The definitive guide to posting a Facebook Feed item using pure C#

Does anyone have a definitive way to post to a user's wall, using nothing but the .NET Framework, or Silverlight?
Problems deriving from people's attempts have been asked here on SO, but I cannot find a full, clear explanation of the Graph API spec and a simple example using WebClient or some similar class from System.Net.
Do I have to send all feed item properties as parameters in the query string? Can I construct a JSON object to represent the feed item and send that (with the access token as the only parameter)?
I expect its no more than a 5 line code snippet, else, point me at the spec in the FB docs.
Thanks for your help,
Luke
This is taken from how we post to a user's wall. We place the data for the post in the request body (I think we found this to be more reliable than including all the parameters in the query part of the request), it has the same format as a URL encoded query string.
I agree that the documentation is rather poor at explaining how to interact with a lot of resources. Typically I look at the documentation for information on fields and connections, then work with the Graph API Explorer to understand how the request needs to be constructed. Once I've got that down it's pretty easy to implement in C# or whatever. The only SDK I use is Facebook's Javascript SDK. I've found the others (especially 3rd party) are more complicated, buggy, or broken than rolling my own.
private void PostStatus (string accessToken, string userId)
{
UriBuilder address = new UriBuilder ();
address.Scheme = "https";
address.Host = "graph.facebook.com";
address.Path = userId + "/feed";
address.Query = "access_token=" + accessToken;
StringBuilder data = new StringBuilder ();
data.Append ("caption=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncodeUnicode ("Set by app to describe the app."));
data.Append ("&link=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncodeUnicode ("http://example.com/some_resource_to_go_to_when_clicked"));
data.Append ("&description=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncodeUnicode ("Message set by user."));
data.Append ("&name=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncodeUnicode ("App. name"));
data.Append ("&picture=" + HttpUtility.UrlEncodeUnicode ("http://example.com/image.jpg"));
WebClient client = new WebClient ();
string response = client.UploadString (address.ToString (), data.ToString ());
}
I don't know much about .net or silverlight, but the facebook api works with simple http requests.
All the different sdks (with the exception of the javascript one) are mainly just wrappers for the http requests with the "feature" of adding the access token to all requests.
Not in all requests the parameters are sent as querystring, in some POST requests you need to send them in the request body (application/x-www-form-urlencoded), and you can not send the data as json.
If the C# sdk is not to your liking, you can simply create one for your exact needs.
As I wrote, you just need to wrap the requests, and you can of course have a method that will get a json as parameter and will break it to the different parameters to be sent along with the request.
I would point you to the facebook documentation but you haven't asked anything specific so there's nothing to point you to except for the landing page.
