New Post: Use DataIdMultiSelector as codebehind parameter?

RASKOLNIKOOV — Mon, 20 May 2013 10:19:59 GMT

My goal with my function is that when you insert it in the editor you get to set the order of the items in the DataIdMultiSelector in the popup window. What do you have to type in my codebehind to achive this?

The datasource for the DataIdMultiSelector is always "C1DB.Posts.Categories" so I only want the user to be able to select what categories to be added to the function (UI mode = compact).

Can you post your GlobalSettingsProviderPlugins section from Composite.config here?

leegodden — Mon, 20 May 2013 07:39:46 GMT

Hi there

I have attached my <GlobalSettingsProviderPlugins> from Composite.config after updating to the changes you mentioned. Unfortunately I can't remember all the steps leading up to the crash, all I can say is that I was experimenting in the console adding templates, page types and pages for a few hours over a couple of days. I did export XML to SQl database with the Composite sql tools package. Wish I had logged everything now. Regarding the check in, I just downloaded the zip from Codeplex, initially just to have a look at the application and never got round to connecting using SVN (maybe this is the first thing I should do now?) i made no other changes. I was experimenting using the basic Composite demo website. I did try upgrading from here: https://compositec1.codeplex.com/discussions/444081 as you suggested in an earlier discussion but I got the 'Package installation failed The package composite version requirements does not match the current composite' error.

Hope this helps

New Post: how to make my "FunctionFilter" work? need some help!

xjf_hgkjzyxy — Mon, 20 May 2013 01:11:13 GMT

i create a C# function as follows:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Xml.Linq;
using Composite.Data;
using Composite.Data.Types;

namespace XjfCms.Data
{
    public static class InlineMethodFunction

        public static bool NewsContentFilter(string Content)
        {
            return Content.Contains("获");
        }
    }
}

and use it as FunctionFilter :

<Filters>
  <FunctionFilter>
    <function name="XjfCms.Data.NewsContentFilter" xmlns="http://www.composite.net/ns/function/1.0">
      <param name="Content" value="${C1:Data:XjfCms.Data.Types.News:Content}" />
    </function>
  </FunctionFilter> 
</Filters>

but it can't work, and get errors

mawtex — Sun, 19 May 2013 21:58:10 GMT

I re-tested with fresh source and installed/used PageComments, but I cannot reproduce the issue.

Can you shortly describe the life cycle of your website / codebase?

which check-in are you running now?
where your website initially created with an earlier check-in, and was then upgraded?

Can you describe the precise steps leading up to the crash?

Can you send me a copy of how configuration/Composite.Core.Configuration.Plugins.GlobalSettingsProviderConfiguration/GlobalSettingsProviderPlugins looks in your Composite.config?

New Post: BLOG - List of datatypes that are used?

webasylum — Sun, 19 May 2013 21:12:54 GMT

Thanks Marcus, appreciate that.
Was just checking that no setting gets added to any other IPage or anything else.
My plan is to create a SQL store of posts for an array of local websites, but be able to allocate individual site ID's to the blog post so that blog posts are filtered to only show on the local website of choice.

:)

mawtex — Sun, 19 May 2013 20:57:58 GMT

If you can remember the steps leading up to this I would love to have them. Installed any packages?

Also, I just notices my description above is not complete.

Additional changes:

cachePath was renamed to cacheDirectory - and changed value to "~/App_Data/Composite/Cache"

Hi Thanks

I did have everything working, and played around in the console. Now its not working so it must be something I have done in the Console, haven't changed any code. Have made the changes to the Composite.config,but getting the same error

New Post: For those of you using the 4.0 beta source code

mawtex — Sun, 19 May 2013 20:19:31 GMT

If you are downloading the source code for the 4.0 beta and use this approach to upgrade to the latest version, you need to be aware of a change introduced in check-in 25757.

Changes were made to the file ~/App_Data/Composite/Composite.config and you need to manually apply these changes if you have a website running with pre-25757 and apply Composite.dll from check-in 25757 or later.

Edit Composite.config and locate the element configuration/Composite.Core.Configuration.Plugins.GlobalSettingsProviderConfiguration/GlobalSettingsProviderPlugins/add

Deleted attributes (no longer used):

defaultLocalizationCultureName
applicationCultureNames

Renamed attributes (for consistency):

cachePath renamed to cacheDirectory

New attributes:

resourceCacheDirectory="~/App_Data/Composite/Cache/ResourceCache"

See https://compositec1.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/25757#CompositeC1/Website/App_Data/Composite/Composite.config for a full diff.

You should also be able to copy the new version for the diff and overwrite the "add" element (unless you have made changes to this element).

New Post: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

mawtex — Sun, 19 May 2013 19:57:52 GMT

Tested with a fresh source download and that works okay, so I guess you already have a site running and updated it with the latest sources?

In check-in 25757 we made changes to Composite.config - we handle this change in our upgrade packages, but since you are using the source code you need to update the configuration/Composite.Core.Configuration.Plugins.GlobalSettingsProviderConfiguration/GlobalSettingsProviderPlugins element in Composite.config.

See https://compositec1.codeplex.com/SourceControl/changeset/25757#CompositeC1/Website/App_Data/Composite/Composite.config for a full diff. As far as I can see these changes were made (and should be replicated by you).

Deleted attributes (no longer used):

Can you post more details? Make sure you run a debug build and post the entire stack trace.

What version of Visual Studio are you using?

New Post: BLOG - List of datatypes that are used?

mawtex — Sat, 18 May 2013 17:47:19 GMT

Hi Martin,

These data types make up the blog:

Composite.Community.Blog.BlogAuthors
Composite.Community.Blog.BlogEntries
Composite.Community.Blog.BlogTags

You find them on the data perspective below Global Datatypes - you can add new fields freely, but if you rename or make type changes the existing fields you should grab the source code from the package site and align your changes.

Note that the BlogEntries and BlogAuthors types have custom Form Markup and you need to edit this to make changes to the blog edit forms - right-click the data type type and select 'Edit Form Markup' or use your favorite IDE to edit these files:

~\App_Data\Composite\DynamicTypeForms\Composite\Community\Blog\Entries.xml
~\App_Data\Composite\DynamicTypeForms\Composite\Community\Blog\Authors.xml

If you want to modify the trees used by the blog package, edit these files:

~\App_Data\Composite\TreeDefinitions\Composite.Community.Blog.Entries.xml
~\App_Data\Composite\TreeDefinitions\Composite.Community.Blog.Settings.xml

In ~/Composite/schemas you will sind XML schemas for form and tree editing - they can light up Visual Studio with validation and intellisense.

Happy coding!

Marcus
