Liferay Service Builder - FinderImpl between date - liferay-6

using the Liferay 6.0.6 ServiceBuilder i am trying to implement a finder method.
I want the method to return all objects whose create date is in between a given date range.
I have learned that hibernate offers the criteria Expression.between("date", dateFrom, dateTo).
Howerver com.liferay.portal.kernel.dao.orm.SQLQuery which i use does not offer a criteria like this.
Maybe i have missed something in the service.xml already but the only thing i found here was
<finder-column name="createDate" comparator=""/> which is in my opinion not helpfull.
Is there a different way to implement this finder method as i want to / change the service.xml?
Thanks for your suggestions

further investigations brought me to
RestrictionsFactoryUtil.between("deleteDate", dateFrom, dateTo); DynamicQueryFactoryUtil.forClass(Test.class).add(criterion)
So there is a working criterion ;)

google adslot syntax - is there a way to not specify a criteria?

I am trying to introduce interstitial adverts for a web project but I am confused about how to use an existing adslot without defining a criteria for that (or if it is even possible?)
From the documentation here:
https://developers.google.com/publisher-tag/reference
https://developers.google.com/publisher-tag/guides/key-value-targeting
There are some examples that show a chosen category of advert to be shown, for example:
googletag.defineSlot('/1234567/sports', [728, 90], 'div-1');
or
googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/6355419/Travel/Europe/France/Paris',
googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL);
when I try to use the sample code with my account ID and the ad-unit name, it does not work. I don't want to define cateogries at this stage, I would prefer that it is done automatically.
For example
interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/26*****997/auto',
googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL);
or
interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/26*****997/interstitial-unit-name',
googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL);
but neither of these formats are accepted and the documentation seems to be somewhat lacking in other examples.
Any help appreciated.
interstitialSlot = googletag.defineOutOfPageSlot('/26*****997/auto',
googletag.enums.OutOfPageFormat.INTERSTITIAL);

How to trigger a function when a custom field is edited/created in redmine

I have been researching about this term for so many hours, but I found anything useful yet.
Hope you can help us building this redmine plugin, or provide us some research links to help us find the correct key.
What we want to build
The thing is we want to update one custom field in redmine (let's name it 'Target_CF') whenever another one is created or updated.
We are looking for incrementing possible values of Target_CF, so we can have all custom field's names available to select.
Of course, we want to achieve this without directly editing Redmine's Core, so we thought developing a plugin would be the best approach.
Our plugin also creates and configures a new custom field (the one mentioned above), but I will let this out of the question, because I think it is not relevant for this.
Where we are right now
We have identified some hooks that could be useful for us, as the following:
:controller_custom_fields_new_after_save
:controller_custom_fields_edit_after_save
We have the following directories/files structure so far:
plugins/
custom_plugin/
init.rb
lib/
hooks.rb
The code we have written
init.rb
require_dependency 'hooks'
Redmine::Plugin.register :custom_plugin do
name 'custom_plugin'
author 'author name'
description 'description text'
version '1.0.0'
end
hooks.rb
class Hooks < Redmine::Hook::ViewListener
def controller_custom_fields_edit_after_save(context={ })
#target_custom_field_name = "Target_CF"
CustomField.find_by_name(#target_custom_field_name).possible_values.push(context[:custom_field].name)
end
end
The result of this code is none. I mean, no erros, no updates, nothing at all. There is no change in our possible values after editing/creating another custom field. We are sure there is something we don't know, some concept or workflow, and due to this we are doing something so badly.
Please, help us understeand what we are missing.
Previously we have succesfully developed another plugin that overwrites certain views. So we have kind of little skills in views related plugins, but zero experience at all at controllers ones.
We are using a Redmine 3.2.0 stack by Bitnami and a mysql database.
Well, finally we found out how to extend base controller's methods. I will post it here so hopefully this can be useful to anyone who finds the same doubts we had.
After some more researching, we conclude that it is mandatory to extend base controllers, in order to not directly modify core methods.
This is our final directories/files structures:
plugins/
custom_plugin/
init.rb
lib/
custom_plugin/
issue_custom_field_patch.rb
We previously stated that we could use some hooks to inject our desired functionality, but it seems not to work that way with controllers. On the other hand, we built a patch which will extend target class functionality.
Our final working code
Init.rb
require 'redmine'
ActionDispatch::Callbacks.to_prepare do
require_dependency 'issue_custom_field'
unless IssueCustomField.included_modules.include? CustomPlugin::IssueCustomFieldPatch
IssueCustomField.send(:include, CustomPlugin::IssueCustomFieldPatch)
end
end
Redmine::Plugin.register :custom_plugin do
name 'custom_plugin'
author 'author name'
description 'description text'
version '1.0.0'
end
issue_custom_field_patch.rb
module CustomPlugin
module IssueCustomFieldPatch
def self.included(base) # :nodoc:
base.extend(ClassMethods)
base.send(:include, InstanceMethods)
base.class_eval do
unloadable
after_save :update_possible_values
end
end
end
module ClassMethods
end
module InstanceMethods
def update_possible_values
self.reload
updatedPossibleValues unless self.name == "Target_CF"
end
private
def updatedPossibleValues
#safe_attrs = ['project', 'description', 'due_date', 'category', 'status', 'assigned_to', 'priority', 'fixed_version', 'author', 'lock_version', 'created_on', 'updated_on', 'start_date', 'done_ratio', 'estimated_hours', 'is_private', 'closed_on']
#custom_fields = IssueCustomField.all.select {|cf| !cf[:position].nil?}.collect {|cf| cf.name}
#possible_values = #safe_attrs + #custom_fields
CustomField.find_by_name("Target_CF").update possible_values: #possible_values
end
end
CustomField.send(:include, IssueCustomFieldPatch)
end
Functionality explained
As we stated in the question, we needed to update Target_CF possible values each time the users create/modify/removes a custom field from Redmine.
We extended IssueCustomField's class's instance methods, triggering our new function 'updatedPossibleValues' after each save. This includes creating new custom fields, and of course, updating existing ones and removing them. Because we reload our list of possible values each time, we had to control if its position were nil. If it is, this means that custom field has been removed.
Because of the ultimate action of this patch, which is the updating of another custom field, this also triggered our function, causing an infinite loop. To prevent this, we linked our functionality to every other custom field which name was not 'Target_CF'. A bit rusty fix, but we couldn't find a better approach.
I hope this can be useful to somebody in the future, as they could invest a fraction of time that we spent on this.
Comments, fixes and improvements are very welcome.
Based on: https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Plugin_Internals which is a bit outdated, but finally could complete the code with help of another resources and forums.

Protractor Implementation in Angular2 without using ids

I have application in Angularjs2, and developers have not been using ids into it. Now I have to implement the Protractor on same application. Is there anyway to implement the Protractor without using "absolute XPath"?
Thanks in advance!
Please find a huge range of locator-possibilities on the official Protractortest API Page
Every element on a page needs to be uniquely identifiable... else the page wouldn't work, no matter which technology. Therefore with the help of any of the above provided locator-possibilities you'll always find the element you're looking for.
And there is never a need for XPath, except for this only one. (though there is an parentElementArrayFinder introduced in the meantime, so not even that one exception is valid anymore)
UDPATE
If you could use XPath, you can for sure use CSS-Locators.
Here some examples for locators:
$('div.class#id[anyAttribute="anyValue"] div.child.somewhere-below-div-point-class')
element(by.cssContainingText('div[data-index="2"]', 'select this option'))
Or as a specific example the "Learn More" of the "Tree List" section of https://js.devexpress.com/ :
treeListSection = element(by.cssContainingText('div.tab-content h2', 'Tree List')).getDriver();
learnMoreBtn = treeListSection.element(by.cssContainingText('a.tab-button','Learn More'));
learnMoreBtn.click();
Those are just examples, but there is always a way to do it.
If you provide some example-HTML in your Question, I can direct you towards a solution.
UPDATE 2
For getting the Parent Web Element, one could use getDriver() as well

How to give a suggestion from the sphinx index?

I wonder if there is a way to give a suggestion from the sphinx index.
for instance,
when I search 'sadfasasas' on google, I get 6 results.
and it said.' Do you mean "sasasasas".
when I search by 'sasasasas', I get 289,000 results.
How should I do to implement this feature? (Let's say the two keywords are all right
spelling. and I want to give the suggestion 'sasasasas' just because it's seems like
'sadfasasas', and it can find many results by sphinx ).
There are script, config, readme in sphinx/misc/suggest folder. You could try suggestion service out of the box.

Query with toLocalizedTime in Plone

I'm using toLocalizedTime to output a date, as below
<span tal:content="python:here.toLocalisedTime(date.get('start_date'))"/>
This outputs eg. 2007/08/02, I'm just curious as to how one would alter the output so that it reads 02/08/2007
I'm not having much luck finding much info on toLocalizedTime, would someone point me in the right direction?
This depends on whether you have English selected as the site language (Site Setup >> Language). If so, then the default settings are used. You can change the defaults by dropping down into the ZMI, then into 'portal_properties', then 'site_properties'. The fields to change are either 'localTimeFormat' or 'localLongTimeFormat' depending on whether you pass in 'long_format=1' to the toLocalisedTime function.
If on the other hand, you have translations set up, the format may instead be pulled from the translation file for the locale selected. I'm not sure what is the easy way to change the format in this case (other than switching the site back to English). I guess you can register your own translation file but I've never needed to do that so you're going to have to look up the details.
Date string formatting follows the Python rules (http://docs.python.org/library/time.html#time.strftime).
Perhaps even more detail than you need:
here.toLocalizedTime()
is defined in the plone browser view at...
CMFPlone/browser/ploneview.py
which looks up the 'translation_service' utility, to call its 'ulocalized_time' function, defined at...
CMFPlone/TranslationServiceTool.py
which itself calls the 'ulocalized_time' function defined at...
CMFPlone/i18nl10n.py
As always, you can learn interesting things by grepping the source code ;-)
For an up to date answer for Plone 4.3 (after going through the source code)
These fields are now in the registry found at:
http://localhost:8080/yoursite/portal_registry
Then filter on "i18nl10n", which should give you the 4 fields you need to change.
