Is there a way to determine if a trigger is being executed by an API call or through the Salesforce Web Interface?
I'd like to do something like this:
trigger Update_Last_Modified_By_API on My_Object__c (before update) {
for (My_Object__c o : Trigger.New) {
if (isAPI) {
o.Last_Modified_By_API__c = datetime.now();
}
}
}
(Currently using API version 25.0, though will soon be updating to 26.0)
There is currently no standard way to tell within the trigger what actually caused an update or insert to happen (API, standard page layout, VF page & controller, some other Apex code, etc.). Here's a full list of Trigger Context Variables.
To achieve this, I would suggest creating a custom checkbox field on the object, something like IsAPI__c (with a default value of false). Then all you would need to do is pass in true for that field with any API call, and then check the field in your trigger for each record in the batch (just make sure you remember to reset it to false when you're done so subsequent calls from the UI aren't treated as API calls).
trigger Update_Last_Modified_By_API on My_Object__c (before update) {
for ( My_Object__c o : Trigger.New ) {
if ( o.IsAPI__c ) {
o.Last_Modified_By_API__c = datetime.now();
}
o.IsAPI__c = false;
}
}
If you're just trying to determine whether a transaction was initiated via the UI or not, using the System.URL.getCurrentRequestUrl() method might give you an indication.

I am developing a mod_plugin for Moodle and want to support the automatic activity completion with a custom rule. I followed the official documentation and implemented all necessary functions. In the lib.php [pluginname]_supports method I have registered, FEATURE_GRADE_HAS_GRADE, FEATURE_COMPLETION_TRACKS_VIEWS, FEATURE_COMPLETION_HAS_RULES.
The \mod_[pluginname]\completion\custom_completion class defines a custom rule named "completiontest" in get_defined_custom_rules(). During my tests I found out that the methods get_state(), get_sort_order() and get_custom_rule_descriptions() are never executed. Also I don't see any output via activity_information().
I have cleared all caches, created new instances of my activity module, with no result. My development environment uses Moodle 3.11.7 (Build: 20220509).
My custom_completion.php script:
<?php
declare(strict_types=1);
namespace mod_cwr\completion;
use core_completion\activity_custom_completion;
class custom_completion extends activity_custom_completion {
public function get_state(string $rule): int {
return COMPLETION_INCOMPLETE;
}
public static function get_defined_custom_rules(): array {
return [
'completiontest'
];
}
public function get_custom_rule_descriptions(): array {
return [
'completiontest' => 'testout'
];
}
public function get_sort_order(): array {
return [
'completionview',
'completiontest',
'completionusegrade'
];
}
}
Test at the view.php:
$completion = new completion_info($course);
$completion->set_module_viewed($coursemodule);
if($completion->is_enabled($coursemodule) == COMPLETION_TRACKING_AUTOMATIC){
$completion->update_state($coursemodule, COMPLETION_INCOMPLETE, $USER->id);
}
$completiondetails = \core_completion\cm_completion_details::get_instance($coursemodule, $USER->id);
$activitydates = \core\activity_dates::get_dates_for_module($coursemodule, $USER->id);
echo $OUTPUT->activity_information($coursemodule, $completiondetails, $activitydates);
At the mod_form.php I check with completion_rule_enabled() if a custom rule is activated by the settings.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
Looking at the mod_forum plugin code showed me, that the get_state($rule) method does not observe all custom rules, only those selected in the settings. How do I tell Moodle to use a specific custom rule?
You appear to be calling update_state() and passing in the possible state change as COMPLETION_INCOMPLETE.
This is a way of telling Moodle "if the state is already incomplete, don't bother doing any expensive completion calculations to check if it should change state".
If you want Moodle to check and then (potentially) change the state to "complete", then pass COMPLETION_COMPLETE. If you really don't know which way it could be switching, then leave the param at the default COMPLETION_UNKNOWN (a good example would be forum completion - if you have just created a forum post, then you might cause the forum to be marked as "complete", but you certainly can't cause the forum to be marked as "incomplete", so you can pass the COMPLETION_COMPLETE parameter, so Moodle knows it only needs to check for changes if the forum is not already "complete").
Also, don't bother passing $USER->id as the third parameter - that's the default which is used of you don't pass anything.
As for telling Moodle which rules to use - it is up to you, when your function is called, to check your plugins settings to determine which rules are in use (and any other relevant configuration - e.g. with mod_forum, it needs to check how many posts are required for completion).
Thank you for the support. Got it running.
I now use $completion->update_state($coursemodule, COMPLETION_COMPLETE); and also had to fix [pluginname]_get_coursemodule_info() with $result->customdata['customcompletionrules']['completiontest'] = $cwr->completiontest; and totally forgot the return $result;.
I am currently trying to get a extension working in Typo3 v10, which enables the user to show, edit, update, disable and enable other user accounts.
Unfortunately, I am running into the issue that I cannot use disabled users as arguments for the actions:
/**
* Save user changes
*
* #param \Company\MyExtension\Domain\FeUser $feuser
* #return void
*/
public function updateAction(\Company\MyExtension\Domain\FeUser $feuser): void {}
It would resulting in the error following error:
Object of type \Company\MyExtension\Domain\FeUser with identity "3" not found.
From what I have gathered, extbase does not rely on the repository's default query settings to create the objects but instead uses PersistenceManager::createQueryForType to get the query settings via QueryFactory::create. This is an issue also listed in a few bug reports.
There's a suggestions as to how to use a custom QueryFactory to set different default QuerySettings for my extension, however this does not seem to work in Typo3 v10 anymore, at least my custom QueryFactory isn't being used after registering it... Also, if this were to work, wouldn't it use the new QueryFactory for all objects instantiated through a controller action and not just this extension?
How can I properly handle hidden users my extension with Typo3 v10.4?
P.S. Another suggestion was to fetch object early through initializeAction, but this only works well if it is about the unmodified model and not when setting new values for the object, as it would just load the database values in the end...
Checkout the extension "news" how it is handled here:
if ($news === null || $this->settings['isShortcut']) {
$previewNewsId = ((int)$this->settings['singleNews'] > 0) ? $this->settings['singleNews'] : 0;
if ($this->request->hasArgument('news_preview')) {
$previewNewsId = (int)$this->request->getArgument('news_preview');
}
if ($previewNewsId > 0) {
if ($this->isPreviewOfHiddenRecordsEnabled()) {
$news = $this->newsRepository->findByUid($previewNewsId, false);
} else {
$news = $this->newsRepository->findByUid($previewNewsId);
}
}
}

I am assuming you need the URL as well. I gave an answer here if you wanna take a look.
Show, edit and update hidden records in FrontEnd (TYPO3)
You can adjust it to your own needs as well.

I make an http .put() call from FLutter app, to put my data on google sheet. I could not really implement .delete() method to delete row, so now trying to delete still using put method. When "delete" button is pressed I am changing all values of variables to "deleted" and changing value of "quantity" to the item which I want to delete and passing all this to google script with get(). ( I know...very hard coded :), trying to get it done anyway :D) So in my Google Scripts I'm putting condition:
code ex
function doPost(request){
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1AVouGZs3U2I4xM941sKWqgfJzyiUgP8-1lTI4gTX4tg");
var name = request.parameter.name;
var product = request.parameter.product;
var quantity = request.parameter.quantity;
if (name != "delete") {
try{
sheet.appendRow([name, product, quantity]);
}
}
if (name == "delete" ) {
try{
sheet.deleteRow(quantity); // quantity indicates index of item that needs to be deleted
}
Is it mandatory to use http.delete() method or is there any mistake in my code? P.S.: Just a beginner!
Apps script restricts you to get or post – that's why the only available functions for receiving HTTP requests are doGet() and doPost(). You cannot use any of the other HTTP methods like delete, put, or patch.
You also have several errors in your code:
You can't have a try without a catch. Apps script shouldn't even allow you to save that.
The .deleteRow() method expects a row number, not a quantity. If you want to delete multiple rows, then use the .deleteRows(rowPosition, howMany) method.
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 creating new workflow and I need to assign issues by condition.
For example:
During create issue if in the dropdown list I select "language_1" issue will be assigned to "translator_1" or if I select "langiage_2", issue will be assigned to "translator_2"
I tried to do this in workflow editor by creating post function, but this functions can't verify conditions. Does Jira have any other method to do it?
Use JIRA components to do this. Create a component named "language_1" with a component lead of your first user. When the issue is created set the component and leave the Assignee at automatic.
I used the Script runner plugin to do something similar by adding a post function to the required transaction. Code example:
from com.atlassian.jira import ComponentManager
customFieldManager = ComponentManager.getInstance().getCustomFieldManager()
userUtil = ComponentManager.getInstance().getUserUtil()
# read field
language = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Language"))
if (language == "language_1") {
issue.setAssignee(userUtil.getUserObject("translator_1"))
} else if (language == "language_2") {
issue.setAssignee(userUtil.getUserObject("translator_2"))
}
