RedDot: referencing an element in a template's container - content-management-system

I have a template with ~ 50 existing instances. I now need to add an
element to a container within those pages, so I've referenced the
content on a container within the template. However, the existing
pages have not picked that reference up - how do I 'apply' this
reference to existing instances?

There was a plugin that would "reference element in all instances" that would work. It should work for RedDot 6 and 7. I've uploaded the plugin here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2453/Plugin_linkref_allpages.zip.

If there is nothing connected the plugin should work. If there is something connected however, the reference will remove the connected page (page will become unlinked), and then replace it with the reference.
FYI, I believe that plugin actually works up to v10. Check out solutionexchange.info for more plugins as well.

Typo3 6.2 Module: How to add an action to an existing module

I need your help!
Goal:
A Typo3 6.2 module should be extended with a button to delete all user data inserted. By default it is only possible to delete data one-by-one.
Conditions:
no changes in the core data of the original module allowed
I tried the following:
1. Extending the controller with XClasses & adding a new method cleanupAction
Problems with that:
cleanupAction is not allowed
Action would have to be added to ext_tables.php of the original module. But this is not allowed.
2. An own backend module:
Problem with that:
An entry in main nav in backend is generated, which is not desired and not needed.
Do you have any ideas how to tackle the problem? I only want to have an action, which can be called in the backend, without having a main-nav entry.
Thanks for your help!
Set up your own extension, containing a controller, some typoscript setup and a template.
The typoscript is used to change the template of the original backend module to your own version of the template:
module.tx_originalextension.view.templateRootPath = EXT:my_new_extension/Resources/Private/Templates/
Copy all templates from the original extension to your new extension. Add the new "delete all" button where you need it and link it with your new extension controller -> deleteAllAction. Of course, you need to implement the deleteAllAction in your controller.
In your controller, inject the original repository from the original extension, and use it to delete the data.
Remember to check the links in the copied templates. They need to point to the original extension, so add "extensionName" to any f:link.action calls expect the new "deleteAll" link.

In CQ5, my responsive emulator devices list is empty

To start, I followed these directions exactly as it's stated: http://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/5-6/developing/mobile/responsive.html
The problem is, despite all of that, my Devices dropdown on the sidekick in preview mode is empty.
The list works without issue in the Geometrixx Media without issue.
I made sure I set the cq:deviceGroups and the sling:OsgiConfig as required, and also included the simulator.js in the head tags.
Edit: I have found that if I set the resourceType on the root level page to geometrixx-media/components/page, which is their working demo, it works. I have completely removed all jsp and config items from that component page and it still continues to work anyways.
Does anyone know of something that is missing from the documents, and how to fix the issue?
Thanks.
This is what I did to resolve this issue:
I am going to assume your application name is jason-riis
In CRXDE|Lite create a config folder in /apps/jason-riis/
Now create a node of:
TYPE=sling:OsgiConfig
NAME=com.day.cq.wcm.mobile.core.impl.MobileEmulatorProvider-<*alias>
*alias could be anything, I gave my application name. What it does is it will get you a unique PID when you look at it in configuration Manager
If you go to your configuration manager now, you should be able to see two MobileEmulatorProvider config settings.
Add a node property to node you just created:
NAME=mobile.resourceTypes
TYPE=String[] (you have to click multi at the end of the value textbox)
VALUE=jason-riis/components/<*page>
*page is all the components that has sling:resourceSuperType of foundation/components/page and it is a multi array so it should look like this
jason-riis/components/page, jason-riis/components/widepage, jason-riis/components/newspage
I assume you already have the cq:include for simulation in your header. This makes the devices button appear in preview mode.
Last thing is, go to your website root page's jcr:content [/content/jason-riis/jcr:content] and add node property
NAME=cq:deviceGroups
TYPE=String[]
*VALUE=/etc/mobile/groups/touch, /etc/mobile/groups/smart
*If you go to this etc path in CRXDE|Lite; you will see more relevant information in jcr:content node. This will help you in creating your own custom emulator list.
You should be able to see the dropdown now, with options of iPhone and iPad and all. I know AEM docs are frustrating, let me know if there is any confusion.

unable to find DLFileEntryLocalServiceUtil.getFileEntryByTitle() in liferay 6.1

Is there any direct api to fetch a file entry by title with given folder id.
I have tried DynamicQueryFactoryUtil, apart from this is there anything to fetch DLFileEntries by title.
I believe DLFileEntryLocalServiceUtil.getFileEntryByTitle() is not there anymore in Liferay 6.1
In Liferay 6.1.0, I can see there is
com.liferay.portlet.documentlibrary.service.DLFileEntryLocalServiceUtil.getFileEntryByName(groupId, folderId, name), as I get from lib/ext/portal-service.jar
You can also see the official documentation here
I think you start by making sure you have the correct libraries imported
EDIT:
I guess that the parent folder and groupID are needed as more than 2 DLFileEntries can have the same title/name. If you need exactly 1 result, and giving only 1 attribute, you can use getDLFileEntry(long fileEntryId). If this doesn't help either, you should tell us some more on what you want to do , and what information you have available (except the title of course)
Liferay has a strange compatibility policy.
Seems like they renamed the getFileEntry to getFileEntryByName and getFileEntryByTitle to getFileEntry. The old and new getFileEntry both share the same singature, but the parameter name is different. :-(

How can I expose plugin functions to docpad partials?

tldr; Is there a way to expose functions defined in one plugin for another plugin to use?
I'm trying to use the tagging plugin (https://github.com/rantecki/docpad-plugin-tagging) within a partial.
I have a Jade partial setup as follows:
.post-tags
| Posted in
each tag in tags
a(href=getTagUrl(tag))= tag + ' '
where getTagUrl is a function defined by the tagging plugin. The problem is that the partial has no knowledge and this partial does not render.
As v2.8.0+ of the partials plugin now includes the template data by default (you don't have to manually specify it's inclusion anymore), try running docpad update in your project's root directory and trying again. Otherwise, we'll probably have to see the source code of your project to help isolate the issue.
It's because partial do not have access by default to templateData, the object holding the getTagUrl helper. You have to pass it explicitly to the partial.
Here's a similar answer provided for the eco templating language :

Dynamically loaded javascript doesn't show in sources panel?

For example, I have an ajax request and it returns <script src='buggy.js'></script>.
Problem is, it doesn't show up in sources or resources panel. That means I can't do all the cool stuffs like adding breakpoint and inspecting the elements as they run.
I could only see the source of the js file under the Network panel.
Is there anyway to make chrome add them to the sources panel?
Or how do you guys go about debugging dynamically added scripts?
Using Canary.
I was having the same problem, and I found a workaround that is better than the deliberate exception. It does still require changing the code as opposed to just setting a breakpoint inside the chrome dev tools.
I tried using the "//# sourceURL=dynamicScript.js" that was suggested as a workaround by the OP, but it still wasn't showing up for me unless it already existed in my tabs from a previous time when it produced an exception.
Coding a "debugger;" line forced it to break at that location. Then once it was in my tabs in the Sources panel, I could set breakpoints like normal and remove the "debugger;" line.
