WIX-based installation results in an invalid configuration file - web-config

EDIT
I've decided to try to find a simpler way to ask this question:
If my WIX-based installation needs to modify an XML file that looks like this:
<a>
<b/>
</a>
into one that looks like this:
<a>
<c/>
<b/>
<a/>
Can it be done without a custom action?
Using the XmlConfig element, the closest I can get is this:
<a>
<b/>
<c/>
<a/>
The problem, if I have not made it plain, is that the inserted c element must come before the b element already in the file.

XmlConfig and XmlFile get converted to custom actions btw. Can you start with a different xml file such that you can add all children nodes to the parent in the correct sequence? Otherwise, you can request this behavior as a new feature request to the WiX team here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=105970&atid=642717

Typoscript filelink - Wrap URL within link

First, here is the Typoscript :
20 = TEXT
20 {
value {
field = field_title
wrap = |.txt
}
filelink {
stdWrap.wrap = <li>|</li>
path = fileadmin/txt-files/
}
}
The result I get is :
<li>
<a href="/fileadmin/txt-files/Title.txt">
<img src="typo3/sysext/frontend/Resources/Public/Icons/FileIcons/txt.png">
</a>
</li>
And what I need is :
<li>
<a href="/fileadmin/force_download_script.php?filepath=/fileadmin/txt-files/Title.txt">
<img src="typo3/sysext/frontend/Resources/Public/Icons/FileIcons/txt.png">
</a>
</li>
I need to make the link downloadable, rather than opening the file in the browser. For that I have a force_download_script.php, but when I do that :
wrap = fileadmin/force_download_script.php?filepath=|txt
instead of the current wrap, filelink doesn't find the file anymore.
I have tried using ATagBeforeWrap.wrap but it doesn't look like it's made for that purpose. I also tried typolinkConfiguration.wrap without any success.
Any idea of how to achieve that ? Using a COA maybe ?
Thank you !
I would not do this with a script, but with server configuration. If you use Apache and have .htaccess enabled, you can add the configuration to a .htaccess file in the directory where the files are located. See https://css-tricks.com/snippets/htaccess/force-files-to-download-not-open-in-browser/
Alternatively you can also use the HTML5 download attribute. This is not supported by Internet Explorer however (it is supported by Edge though).
The issue can get quite a bit complicated, but step by step:
your code above might be wrong if it's not just a copy & paste fault:
wrap = fileadmin/force_download_script.php?filepath=|.txt
The dot before txt was missing.
Nevertheless it is still interesting if the php-script is triggered.
It's possible that the script is not triggered due to some settings in typo3conf/LocalConfiguration.php respectively some settings in the install-tool.
Depending on the TYPO3-Version it's also possible that the script is not triggered at all because all scripts are being required now in an extension. That means you might need to create an extension for that script.
Also simple wrapping of the result with the script-path might not be enough, but you have to call it explicitly by TypoScript perhaps by including the script as user-function or lib.
The admin-panel might be useful to debug some things about your script but if not you've to include some debug-output first in your own code, if that's not enough in the core (temporary).
So you've to find out if your script is triggered and if not, the reason for it.
Are you sure .filelink is what you are looking for?
.filelink is for a set of files. For all files in the folder given by .path a link will be generated. see manual
From your description you want a text wrapped with a link to one single file. That would be more a problem for .typolink where you specify the link in .parameter.
if you really want a link list of multiple files, each wrapped with your script you need to modify .typolinkConfiguration.parameter which will be used internaly by .filelink.
Anyway it might be possible to do a wrap which then would be:
.typolinkConfiguration.parameter.wrap = /fileadmin/force_download_script.php?|
Maybe it is easier to build your list with .stdWrap.filelist, where you can use the filenames in any way to wrap your own href parameter for an A-tag.
To use the TYPO3 core solution with file links you can use this guide:
Create a file storage where you want your "secured" files in TYPO3 backend
Do not set the checkbox "Is public?" in the storage record
The links will be rendered with eID and file parameters
You can look into the FileDumpController handling these links: https://github.com/TYPO3/TYPO3.CMS/blob/2348992f8e3045610636666af096911436fa1c89/typo3/sysext/core/Classes/Controller/FileDumpController.php
You can use the included hook to extend this controller with your logic.
Unfortunately I can't find any official documentation for this feature, but will post it when I find something or wrote it myself. ;)
Maybe this can help you, too: https://extensions.typo3.org/extension/fal_securedownload/
Here is the official part, but it's not much: https://docs.typo3.org/typo3cms/CoreApiReference/ApiOverview/Fal/Administration/Storages.html?highlight=filedumpcontroller

Add additional source to Image for further actions

im trying to add an additional source to the dce-image for further actions e.g. an alternate source to perform some JavaScript actions.
The wanted output should look like this:
<img src="path/to/foo.png" data-altsrc="path/to/bar.png">
The problem is the dce i'm using - its iterating through the "images" like this:
<f:for each="{dce:fal(field:'image', contentObject:contentObject)}" as="fileReference">
<f:image src="{fileReference.uid}" treatIdAsReference="1" />
</f:for>
So if I would insert multiple images to this I have no real relation between the images where i know which one is the normal-source and which one is the alternate source.
So there was the possibility to create a section and add two fields for images which we can restrict to one image per field. But there again is the for-loop which doesn't allow me to access the source of the second image for the first image.
It should be a visible relation between these images for the user which is working with the dce.
Im trying to achieve something like this:
<f:for each="{field.images}" as="images">
<!-- want to achieve something like this -->
<f:image image="{images.foo.src}" data-altsrc="{images.bar.src}">
<!-- thats the normal way iterating through images -->
<f:for each="{images.foo}" as="image">
<f:image image="{image}" />
</f:for>
</f:for>
Another idea would be to iterate first through the alternate images and store them into an array and on the main-images to access them but I have no idea if this is even possible also this will restrict the usability of the dce for the user.
Is there any way to achieve this with dce-fluid ?
Thanks in advance
Well, i guess you could extend the sys_file_reference table to add a relation from there. So you would have nested relations (never done that, so you would have to try).
You would also have to add the field to the tca type in the place you need it, that could be a little tricky. Have a look at Tca types overrides.
You could extend the sys_file_reference table with a field "alternative_reference" and add the neccessary TCA setup. Then you would have to retrieve the FileReferences via the FileRepository and use sys_file_reference as foreign table (and of course the sys_file_reference uid as identifier).
FileRepository::findByRelation(
'sys_file_reference',
'alternative_reference',
$uidOfActualSysFileReferenceRecord
);
The other possibility would be a completely new record with 2 different sys_file_reference relations. That record (eg: tx_ext_domain_model_imageset) would have an image_default and image_alternate field, both would be configured as file_relations. That would work for sure.
$defaultImages = FileRepository::findByRelation(
'tx_ext_domain_model_imageset',
'image_default',
$uidOfRecord
);
$alternativeImages = FileRepository::findByRelation(
'tx_ext_domain_model_imageset',
'image_alternative',
$uidOfRecord
);
I assume you do have knowledge about creating records, models, tca and so on.
I personally would prefer the second way, it is more clean and does not change the core-table structures.
Also there is a second image generation viewhelper, that might suite your needs better
<img src="{f:uri.image()}" data-altsrc="{f:uri.image()}" />
But the best way to go might be to write your own ViewHelper for that purpose. You could pass your Object (ImageSet) as parameter and handle all logic there. So your template would be simpler and easier to read/work on.
You have to use data attribute of fluid viewhelper and then get the uri of the image with inline call. Here is how to achieve :
<f:image src="{fileReference.uid}" data="{altsrc: '{f:uri.image(src: \'{fileReference.uid}\', treatIdAsReference: 1}" treatIdAsReference="1"/>
This should do the work.

Is it possible to find and store element's location by text in selenium ide?

I need to create the element and then delete it. Is there a way to find the element by it's text after it was created?
The xpath of the element is //div[#id='mif-tree-6']/span/span[3].
You can use xpath for it for example. Like:
//div[#id='mif-tree-6']//span[contains(text(),'your_text_here')]
UPDATE
Please provide an example of your html. It is possible to find a parent of your element with xpath and after that to find all the childs. For example your html =
<div id='lol'>
<div>first_item</div>
<div>second_item</div>
<div>third_element</div>
</div>
You get an array of elements with xpath =
//div[contains(text(),'first_')]/../div
So you can do something like:
click | //div[contains(text(),'first_')]/../div[2]
BUT if there are a lot of brothers-elements to find by text of one sibling it will be necessary to use loop to get every of them.
Once again. If you will provide full information about what are you doing and an example of your html it will be much easier to suggest.

Parameter and view naming collisions in Play/Scala templates

I am new to Play Framework and still trying to wrap my head around some things with the new Scala template engine.
Let's say I have the following package structure:
app/
app/controllers/Items.scala
app/models/Item.scala
app/views/layouts/page.scala.html
app/views/item/show.scala.html
app/views/item/details.scala.html //partial
And this is my item/show template:
#(item: Item, form: Form[Item])(implicit flash: Flash)
#layout.page() {
#*want to include details partial, wont work due to item param*#
#item.details(item)
}
Since including another template (e.g. including item/details above) is the exact same syntax as accessing a template parameter (e.g. item above), obviously this existing naming convention won't work without something changing.
I know I can rename my "app.views.item" package to "app.views.items", and rely on singular/plural forms to differentiate the view from the param name, but this does not seem like a very straightforward solution. Also what if I really want the parameter name to be the same as the view package?
One idea I have is to prepend all my views with an extra top level package:
app/views/views/item/details.scala.html
So the include syntax would be #views.item.details(), but again this is obviously a hack.
What is a good way to avoid this issue? How can I better organize my code to avoid such naming collisions?
Most other template engines use operations like "include" or "render" to specify a partial include. I don't mean to offend anyone here, but is the Play Scala template engine syntax so terse that it actually dictates the organization of code?
3 solutions:
First
Typpicaly for partial templates you should use tags as described in the docs, where app/views/tags folder is a base:
file: app/views/tags/product.scala.html
in the templates (no initial import required in the parent view full syntax will allow you to avoid name-clash: #tags.packageName.tagName()):
<div id="container">
#tags.product(item)
</div>
Of course in your case you can also use packages in the base folder
file: app/views/tags/item/product.scala.html
<div id="container">
#tags.item.product(item)
</div>
I'm pretty sure that'll solve your problem.
Second
To avoid clash without changing package's name you can just rename the item in your view, also I recommend do not use a form name for the Form[T] as it can conflict with helpers:
#(existingItem: Item, existingItemForm: Form[Item])(implicit flash: Flash)
#layout.page() {
#item.details(existingItem)
}
Third
If you'll fill your Form[Item] before passing to the view with given Item object, you don't need to pass both, as most probably you can get data from the form:
#(itemForm: Form[Item])(implicit flash: Flash)
#layout.page() {
<div>Name of item is: #itemForm("name").value (this is a replacemnet for ##existingItem.name </div>
#item.details(itemForm)
}
Of course in you product.scala.html you'll need to change the #(item: Item) param to #(itemForm: Form[Item])

Line breaks in Zend Navigation Menu labels

I have a need to create a <br/> tag in the display label for a menu item generated using Zend_navigation, but don't seem to be able to find a way to do so.
My navigation item is defined in the XML config as:
<registermachine>
<label>Register your Slitter Rewinder</label>
<controller>service</controller>
<action>register</action>
<route>default</route>
</registermachine>
I want to force a tag in the output HTML between 'your' and 'slitter', such that it appears on two line as below:
Register your
Slitter Rewinder
However, I can't seem to do it. obviously using in the XML breaks parsing, and using html entities means that the lable is displayed as:
Register your <br/>Slitter Rewinder
Has anyone had experience of this that can offer advice?
Thanks in advance!
there is no such option built-in you have to use a partial
$partial = array('menu.phtml', 'default');
$this->navigation()->menu()->setPartial($partial);
echo $this->navigation()->menu()->render();
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.helpers.html#zend.view.helpers.initial.navigation.menu
you may also try a hack with <label><![CDATA[Menu label<br/>Second line]]></label>
I found a (hacky) solution:
I updated my navigation.xml to use {br} tokens wherever a <br/> tag is required, and then amended the base Zend/View/Helper/Navigation/Menu.php file as follows:
within htmlify function, changed
$this->view->escape($label)
to
str_replace("{br}", "<br/>", $label)
I could (and probably will) override the Zend Library Menu View Helper with my own at some point, but this at least cover it for now.
there is a escapeLabels boolean used to convert html tags and it's true by default.
You can set your navigation like this
$this->navigation()
->menu()
->escapeLabels(false)
->...
