I'm using symfony 1.4 for my web project.
I have the following problem (or opportunity): I need to create a calendar where the "common" user has only the ability to see (or read) the date and time of the events and the "admin" user can edit, add and remove new events. So it's basically a google calendar type of thing where I have to different permissions, read and read, write, delete.
Also I need to be able to fully customize a calendar style so that It matches my css.
How would your approach this problem? I've been trying to find the best plugin for this endeavor but I haven't found one that with a good documentation
Thanks in advance!
I recommend FullCalendar jQuery plugin. It gives you very nice JavaScript calendar with drag&drop support. You can use your own CSS style.
On the server side create symfony actions that will return data to FullCalendar API. Just serialize the data to JSON Event Object.
Of course you should use symfony security component to restrict read/write access. Show only those events that users should be able to see. And don't let them access write actions if they don't have write permission.
To manage event data you can either create backend admin module or display your own form when user click on calendar (like Google Calendar does). If you like the second approach then you have to handle it in JavaScript.
I would suggest to build 2 applications for that.
frontend (read/see)
backend (admin)
Just go with the normal symfony approach.. define your models, generate frontend (inkl. modules). There you can adjust you templates and css.
Practicle open book where you can choose the topics you need
Then use the admin-generator to get the backend application. You can customize behaviours and styling of course.

What is the best approach to hide general ui options from certain desk users with lower permission roles? I would for example like to block the create workspace feature (and hide the button) for a certain user role:
Ideally I would like to also hide certain options from the following pane for certain user roles.
What would be the best approach for this. I am thinking of writing some javascript code to manipulate the dom here, but I am wondering what the best way would be to inject something like this and if it is possible to selectively inject that code in frappe framework via a custom app.
Currently I work an an app where the user can create products for a catalog. The status is, he can do this in one language, data gets send to the backend and saved. The next step would be to make this creation process ready for multiple languages e.g. english or french. The behaviour should be the following, he choses the language inside a drop down field and gets a form in the selected language.
The problems I encountered and my solution process till now:
1) How should the view handling be? Should I create a new fragment for every language and exchange the content? If Im correct that would mean I would need to destroy and create fragements for the languages, right? And then create them with a binded model again.
2) How should I handle the model/models? Should I create one model with the data they share e.g. creation date and create a model with language related attributes? That would be my solution right now.
Maybe you already did something similiar or have some thoughts about this, thanks for any help!
You should do neither of those things. There are mechanisms in place, generally referred to as i18n that help you with this process. UI5 help available here:
https://ui5.sap.com/sdk#/topic/df86bfbeab0645e5b764ffa488ed57dc
and
https://ui5.sap.com/sdk#/topic/5424938fc60244c5b708d71b50a0eee4
In summary, translations should be done using the i18n mechanisms and the oData logon language.
Logging into the application, assuming it's hosted on an SAP gateway or SCP / Launchpad, the user's current logon language will drive at least all standard SAP translatable texts like the labels returned from data elements in your oData services. The appropriate url parameter is sap-language=EN, but it's set automatically from the current browser settings. Generally, you don't have to worry about this.
The same browser settings drive which particular i18n file is loaded. This could be specific like en_US for American English, or fr for French.
If you code your app without any hard coded translations but always follow the rules in the links above, adding a language should be trivial.
These translations could probably be triggered programmatically via a dropdown as well but I have never tried that since it's extra steps for my users.
I'm looking for a WP plugin which can allow me to create different forms and embed them on pages and following are the requirements:
Only a single textbox required in each of those forms
The submit button will only be shown if a custom entry/answer is inputted into the textbox. (basically a client-side validation)
The submitted answer should be stored in the back-end with the usermeta (or just the username of the user logged in) so that I can export the entries in a format like csv, etc.
Any thoughts?
P.S. I have found one but not sure if the PRO version of this allows me to have a validation for a custom text. This is the plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/visual-form-builder/
Gravity Forms is the most robust form builder plugin for WordPress. You can, with the right knowledge and skills, make it do pretty much anything you'd like. You can find it here: Gravity Forms.
Very well, I've found this. There are actually good plugins however, you will have to purchase it. I'm looking for a free one. http://www.webdesignboom.com/2013/formcraft-wordpress-form-builder/
I have this web app which is a directory of users from a database, the web app works just fine with all the widgets/components that allow user search and show results in gwt panels. However I am thinking to add a way a User can have a user like:
mygwtapp.com/user123
And gwt app will show the appropriate view for the user?
Any ideas?
The standard way to do this in GWT is using the history mechanism:
http://code.google.com/webtoolkit/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsHistory.html
Basically, instead of:
mygwtapp.com/user123
You can do something like this:
mygwtapp.com/gwtapp.html#user123
Once you understand the basics, you can use activities and places (a simple framework on top of gwt's history api). But this is a bit more complicated and probably unnecessary for your needs.

I have a web based application using Primefaces with a very basic plug-in like architecture. The configuration of these plug-ins was all handled with xml, which is not so user friendly system.
I would now like to allow for each plug-in to be configurable via the web application, what are my options?
I have looked into Portals and Portlets but that seems like a rather big change to my application and my plug-ins do not require such complex user interfaces, a textbox or two of configuration is more than enough.
Does anyone have any suggestions or advice and what would be the best route here?
Create a simple page , per plugin that read the XML file, parse the option that you want to change , present it to the user with a simple interface, and save back the XML file.
Take care of the saving part and password-protect this page!
