Test if an object is a TinyMCE editor - tinymce

How to test if an Object is a TinyMCE editor instance?

Depending on what kind of object you want to check for and the time of this check looping through tinymce.editors may not be suffcient. In case you want to check if an object is a tinymce editor object and there is no initialized tinymce editor then tinymce.editors will be an empty array, even though your object may be a valid tinymce editor object (without an active editor!).
If you got an object you can test if this object has the following properties. This should be sufficient:
if(object.editorCommands && object.editorId && object.execCommands && object.plugins) return true;
If this does not suit your use case you will need to provide more information.

Reaching the referenced text from a Word interop field object

I am using Word interop to build a Word plugin. In this plugin I have a case where I want to examine all
Field objects in the document and when that field is a cross-reference to another place in the same document I need to be able to capture the text in the paragraph that the field is referring to.
I was able to get the name of the field object but there were no bookmarks defined in the Document although in Word I could click on the field to get to the other location.
Example field
Example field as code
referenced text I need to get
No Bookmark objects are defined
I tried to simulate the user clicking on the field by invoking DoClick() on it and then I accessed V_V_Scalar_Document_Generic.Application.Selection.Range.Text
but it gave nothing. I also tried the GoTo approach below but still didn't reach the referenced text.
System.Collections.Generic.List<string> L_V_List_String_Fields = new System.Collections.Generic.List<string>();
foreach (Field L_V_Scalar_Field_Item in V_V_Scalar_Document_Generic.Range.Fields)
{
try
{
if (L_V_Scalar_Field_Item.Type == WdFieldType.wdFieldRef)
// L_V_Scalar_Field_Item.Data --> gives COM exception
// L_V_Scalar_Field_Item.Code.ID --> blanks
// L_V_Scalar_Field_Item.DoClick() 'will not help because fields are not always hyperlinks
// L_V_Scalar_Field_Item.Result.Text --> gives the text of the field itself
// all variations I tried for the target parameter in the line below (last param) are not working
// V_V_Scalar_Document_Generic.[GoTo](Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdGoToItem.wdGoToField, System.Type.Missing, System.Type.Missing, "_Ref28680085")
// Dim L_V_Scalar_String_Source as string = V_V_Scalar_Document_Generic.Application.Selection.Range.Text
L_V_List_String_Fields.Add($"CodeText:{L_V_Scalar_Field_Item.Code.Text} |FieldType:{L_V_Scalar_Field_Item.Type} |FieldKind:{L_V_Scalar_Field_Item.Kind} |SourceText:{"source text ??"}");
}
catch (Exception L_V_Scalar_Exception_Generic)
{
}
}
The bookmarks are not listed because Word has a convention that bookmarks with names starting with an underscore ("_") are "hidden". In the Insert->Links->Bookmark dialog box, you can see them if you check the "Hidden Bookmarks" box, but in the Find and Replace box, you have to enter the name manually.
Even when Bookmarks are hidden, you can reference them. So for example you should be able to do something like this (this is VBA syntax):
Dim TargetText As String
TargetText = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("_Ref28680085").Range.Text
to get the text "covered" by the bookmark. In theory, you could use Goto, by using wdGotoBookmark instead of wdGotoField, except that I think it will only have a chance of working with the Selection object, not a Range object.
Depending on what type of cross-reference the user inserts, Word "covers" different parts of the referenced material. So you may need to construct the Range you really need, e.g. using the Bookmark's Range.Start to tell you which paragraph the reference is pointing at.

Get page background

How can I access the style information for a tab? The following code logs an empty object.
tabs.activeTab.attach({
contentScript: 'self.port.emit(console.log(unsafeWindow.document.body.style);'
});
First off, you are missing a ) in your content script. Then you are returning the return value of console.log to the port.
However I am going to assume, that you are getting an empty object in the page's console from that console.log. The document.body.style attribute may still be empty, since that only holds the value of the inline style attribute of an HTML element (see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement/style).
You would probably have to parse document.styleSheets or use the developer tools API to the get the currently rendered background.

AEM DefaultValue written to JCR

I noticed that when I set my defaultValue for a dropdown, altho it is correctly selected in the drop down when I first add my component to the page it does not write the defaultValue to the corresponding JCR until I edit the component and save it. Even if I just open the corresponding dialog and click OK now my component works as expected because the values have been added to the JCR.
I am sure there is an important piece that I am missing here, does anyone knows how defaultValues that are required in order for the component to render properly can be added to the JCR when they are first added to the page?
Like Shwan say's that's the way it works. The default values or empty texts are only for the dialog. They aren't persisted until the dialog is authored. The properties have to be set by a different method. CQ already ships with this feature and you can do it without any custom code.
Under your component , create a node called cq:template[nt:unstructured] . If all the data is stored on the component node itself , add the default values as properties to cq:template node with name same as the ones in your dialog. In case the data is stored in a child node add a similar node under cq:template node.
Source : http://blogs.adobe.com/experiencedelivers/experience-management/defaults-in-your-component/
I believe that is simply the way it works. The default value specified in a dialog does not get used until the dialog is loaded/saved, so until that happens the node on the JCR repository that is being authored won't have the default value.
We got around this on a project by adding back-end code that was tied to the component (a tag) so that when the component was loaded, if the property did not exist, it would be written with the default the first time. Ex:
if (wcmMode == WCMMode.EDIT )
{
if(!currentNode.hasProperty("SomePropertyThatWillAlwaysExistIfTheDialogHasBeenSaved")) {
currentNode.setProperty("PropertyThatShouldHaveDefault", GlobalConstants.TRUE);
currentNode.getSession().save();
}
}
Like Sharath Madappa say's that's the way it works fine if component name and jsp name same. If you dont have componentname.jsp under component or page, cq:template won't work.(Reference:http://labs.6dglobal.com/blog/2014-07-08/using-the-cq-template/)
If you hava componentname.html under your component, changed the node [cq:template] type to [cq:Template] instead of [nt:unstructured]. In this case, defaultValues can be added to the JCR when they are first added to the page.

How do you inspect a react element's props & state in the console?

React Developer Tools give a lot of power to inspect the React component tree, and look at props, event handlers, etc. However, what I'd really like to do is to be able to inspect those data structures in the browser console.
In chrome I can play with the currently selected DOM element in the console using $0. Is there a way to extract React component info from $0, or is it possible to do something similar with the React Dev Tools?
Using React Developer Tools you can use $r to get a reference to the selected React Component.
The following screenshot shows you that I use React Developer Tools to select a component (Explorer) which has a state-object callednodeList. In the console I can now simply write $r.state.nodeList to reference this object in the state. Same works with the props (eg.: $r.props.path)
An answer to your question can be found here in a similar question I asked:
React - getting a component from a DOM element for debugging
I'm providing an answer here because I don't have the necessary reputation points in order to mark as duplicate or to comment above.
Basically, this is possible if you are using the development build of react because you can leverage the TestUtils to accomplish your goal.
You need to do only two things:
Statically store the root level component you got from React.render().
Create a global debug helper function that you can use in the console with $0 that accesses your static component.
So the code in the console might look something like:
> getComponent($0).props
The implementation of getComponent can use React.addons.TestUtils.findAllInRenderedTree to search for match by calling getDOMNode on all the found components and matching against the passed in element.
Open console (Firefox,Chrome) and locate any reactjs rendered DOM element or alternatively execute js script to locate it:
document.getElementById('ROOT')
Then check for element properties in object property viewer for attributes with name beginning like '__reactInternalInstace$....' expand _DebugOwner and see stateNode.
The found stateNode will contain (if it has) 'state' and 'props' attributes which is used heavily in reactjs app.
Though the accepted answer works, and is a great method, in 2020 you can now do a lot of inspection without using the $r method. The Components tab of React DevTools will show you props and detailed state when you select the relevant component (make sure you're on the right level), as well as let you do other things like suspend it or inspect the matching DOM element (little icons in the top right).
Assign the state or prop object to the window object:
window.title = this.state.title
And then from the dev tools console you can try different methods on the exposed object such as:
window.title.length
8
You can attach a reference to the window object like
import { useSelector } from "react-redux";
function App() {
// Development only
window.store = useSelector((state) => state);
return (
<div className="App">
</div>
);
}
export default App;
Then access it from the console
store
{states: {…}}
states:
someProperty: false
[[Prototype]]: Object
[[Prototype]]: Object
[Console][1]

MVC Html.textbox/dropdown/whatever won't refresh on postback

OK, let's start with the Html.Textbox. It is supposed to contain text read from a file. The file read is based on what the user picks from a dropdown list.
The first time it is fine. The user picks a value from the dropdown list. The controller uses that value to read some text from a file, and returns that text to the view via the view model. Everything is fine.
THen the user picks another value from the dropdown list. The controller reads a new value from a file and returns it via the view model. Debugging to the LINE BEFORE THE HTML.TEXTBOX is set in the view shows that the model contains the correct value. However, the textbox itself still shows the PREVIOUS value when the page displays!
If I switch from Html.Textbox to a plain input, type="text" html control, everything works fine. That's not so hard, but the same thing happens with my dropdown list -- I can't set the selected value in code. It always reverts to whatever was chosen last. Rendering a "select" tag with a dynamically-generated option list is a pain. I would love to be able to use Html.Dropdown.
What am I missing here?? This is such a simple thing in webforms!
When you post a form, the values that are posted are put into ModelState. When the HtmlHelper renders an html iunput element, e.g. Html.TextBoxFor(x => x.FirstName), it'll search various locations to get the value for the textbox... ModelState is before ViewData.Model in the list of locations. So there for, the previously posted value will appear in your textbox.
To fix this you could clear the ModelState value or update the ModelState value. BUT I would kinda view that as a hacky way of getting around the problem.
The real issue has more to do with the flow of the posts and requests. I would personally look into that and maybe implement the PRG (Post Redirect Get) pattern.
HTHs,
Charles
Following on from what Charles/Charlino said:
Model binding updates the ModelState object, which contains validation and model binding errors that are collected during model binding.
Inside an action method, model binding has occurred already to update the model, and generated the ModelState object. If you now update the value on the model inside the action, you must also manually update the model state (since the helpers use it to generate their HTML). Below is an example:
model.CaptchaIsValid = CaptchaService.ValidateAndExpireCaptcha(model.CaptchaAttempt);
if (!model.CaptchaIsValid)
{
ModelState.AddModelError("CaptchaAttempt", "Incorrect - please try again");
}
// I'll clear the value on each attempt, to force them to re-enter a CAPTCHA.
model.CaptchaAttempt = string.Empty;
// Since I updated the model, I must create a new ValueProvider result...
ValueProviderResult clearedValue = new ValueProviderResult(
model.CaptchaAttempt,
model.CaptchaAttempt,
CultureInfo.CurrentCulture);
// ... and update the ModelState's value.
ModelState.SetModelValue("CaptchaAttempt", clearedValue);
The biggest issue I see here is that you are trying to do a postback within MVC. That model is really not supported, and is actually way more trouble than it is worth (as it seems you are finding out). I would recommend using Ajax to update the contents of the dropdown dynamically.
