I am trying to create an API call to add data into a custom field that was created on the Sales Order page using AL Extensions. The issue is when I try to do the api call through postman, I am getting "The Property "propertyName" does not exist on type 'Microsoft.NAV.salesOrder'". First of all, I don't even know if the API allows for this, so is it even possible? And secondly, if it is possible, is there a certain way to set up the API call or the Field through the AL Extension?
tableextension 50100 "AddProjectIdToSalesOrder" extends "Sales Header"
{
fields
{
field(50100; "CrmProjectId"; Guid)
{
Caption = 'Crm Project Id';
DataClassification = OrganizationIdentifiableInformation;
}
}
}
pageextension 50100 "AddProjectIdToSalesOrder" extends "Sales Order"
{
layout
{
addlast(General)
{
field("CRM Project Id"; Rec.CrmProjectId)
{
ApplicationArea = all;
ToolTip = 'The Guid of the related Project Record in the CRM environment';
}
}
}
}
This is how I am setting up the field with the AL extension, and for the post call, I am just creating a new Sales Order with a post and the body looks like:
{
"customerNumber" : "10000",
"CrmProjectId" : "random-guid"
}
And the error is "Bad Request": "The property 'CrmProjectId' does not exist on type 'Microsoft.NAV.salesOrder'. Make sure to only use property names that are defined by the type." Any help would be appreciated.
The Sales Order API is a separate page. It is not equivalent to the Sales Order page so you have to modify the API to accomplish what you want.
However the standard API's provided by Microsoft can't be extended.
You are left with two options:
Make a copy of the standard Sales Order API (this involves making a copy of all the linked APIs as well e.g. the Sales Line API).
Create a new API page with the single purpose of updating your new field. Then you would use the standard Sales Order API to create the Sales Order and then update CrmProjectId with a second call to your custom API page.

I need to use the Primary Key of Table 1 to be used as a reference of Table 2, but I cannot use the ID of table 1 for this purpose.
I wonder if the best way is to "copy" this ID in the Title field (Primary Key) of this table 1. How I do that? Is this the best method?
Thank you,
Arturo
Arturo:
Have you tried doing this without using wix code?
Check out this post to see if it is possible.
Now in code the only way to add a reference field from another data collection is to use the ID. But note that ID is the field name used in the data collection for dashboard and Editor view. When accessing the ID value in code you need to use the field key which is _id.
So in your Table2 you need a column (field) that is of type reference and give it a field name like "Table1 Reference". The editor will generate a field key for you that will look like table1Reference.
Now if you have a record from Table1 that you want to link to Table2 you do something like this:
wixData.query('Table1')
.eq('title', 'uniqueTitle')
.find()
.then((results) => {
if (results.totalCount !== 1) {
throw Error('We didn't get a record from Table1');
}
// Success add this in a new record in Table2
let table1Item = results.items[0];
let table2Data = {
table1Reference:table1Item._id,
anotherTable2Field:"Some info for table2"
};
return wixData.save('Table2', table2Data)
.then((savedRecord) => {
// Successful save!
// Do something here....
});
})
.catch((error) => {
console.log(error);
});
Good luck!

As we know Dynamics CRM has a specific attribute value: Customer. This value combines the Client and Account entity, but I'm blind or MSDN doesn't have specification about retrieving this field in query.
For example:
QueryByAttribute query = new QueryByAttribute(entName);
query.ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(new String[] { searchAttr });
query.Attributes.Add(searchAttr);
query.Values.Add(searchValue);
EntityCollection retrived = service.RetrieveMultiple(query);
This code accepts entity name and searches the attribute's name and value, but when I run it I don't know which type of entity I get from my DataSouce: Client or Account.
So the question is: is it possible to retrieve Customer entity in one query?
No, you must first know which entity you are trying to retrieve.
Get the value held within the Customer field as an EntityReference:
var customer = entity.GetAttributeValue<EntityReference>("customerid");
Get the LogicalName of the EntityReference:
var customerEntity = customer.LogicalName;
Hello when a user place a order,i want to update a custom field of all customer.Though i have created custom field in customer section.
For this i am using following code.but by this code i am unable to find customer ids.
Please tell me how can i find customer ids in loop.
$productId='1';
$order= Mage::getModel('sales/order_item')->getCollection()
->addAttributeToFilter('store_id', Mage::app()->getStore()->getId())
->addAttributeToFilter('product_id',$productId);
foreach ($order_collection as $itemId => $item)
{
$customerid=$item->getCustomerId();
}
Mage::getModel('sales/order_item') won't have customer Id's see the database table: sales_flat_order_item You'll want to use Mage::getModel('sales/order') to retrieve such from sales_flat_order
The newsletter subscription module in Magento has only one field (email) by default. After I add an extra field to the form (say country), how can I get the form data to show up in the Magento back-end and be sent as an email to a preset recipient? Thanks.
If you want to add some custom fields for Magento newsletter subscriber (for example subscriber_name), you should do the following:
Add new column for newsletter_subscriber table
Add text input to newsletter template
Create observer for newsletter_subscriber_save_before event
In the observer you can get your custom field's value from request and assign it to subscriber's object:
public function newsletterSubscriberSave(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
{
$subscriber = $observer->getEvent()->getSubscriber();
$name = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getParam('subscriber_name');
$subscriber->setSubscriberName($name);
return $this;
}
UPDATE:
Here is the detailed article explaining how to add Country field
Also, I have created a free module, it is available on the GitHub
There are a few things that you need to take care of to make this work:
Add a new column for your data to the appropriate database table
Make sure that Magento saves your new field to the database
Present the data in the admin backend
Record the data when you get a new newsletter subscription
Here's how you can do all those things:
Ad. 1)
Using phpMyAdmin, MySQL command line, or whatever is your preferred DB manipulation method, add a new column "country" as, say, varchar(100) to the newsletter_subscriber table.
Ad. 2)
Magento will automatically give you access to the new field through the getCountry() and setCountry() methods on the Mage_Newsletter_Model_Subscriber object. The only thing it won't do is save your field back to the DB after it has been changed with code somewhere in the system. To get it saved you need to modify _prepareSave(Mage_Newsletter_Model_Subscriber $subscriber) function found in Mage_Newsletter_Model_Mysql4_Subscriber (app/code/core/Mage/Newsletter/Model/Mysql4/Subscriber.php). Be sure to make a local copy of the file first and not modify the core file. Here's what you need to add:
protected function _prepareSave(Mage_Newsletter_Model_Subscriber $subscriber)
{
$data = array();
$data['customer_id'] = $subscriber->getCustomerId();
$data['store_id'] = $subscriber->getStoreId()?$subscriber->getStoreId():0;
$data['subscriber_status'] = $subscriber->getStatus();
$data['subscriber_email'] = $subscriber->getEmail();
$data['subscriber_confirm_code'] = $subscriber->getCode();
//ADD A NEW FIELD START
//note that the string index for the $data array
//must match the name of the column created in step 1
$data['country'] = $subscriber->getCountry();
//ADD A NEW FIELD END
(...)
}
Ad. 3)
You will need to modify (a local copy of) the file app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/Block/Newsletter/Subscriber/Grid.php. The method you are looking for is called _prepareColumns(). In there you will see a series of calls to $this->addColumn(). You need to add a corresponding call for your "Country" field with the following code:
$this->addColumn('country', array(
'header' => Mage::helper('newsletter')->__('Country'),
//the index must match the name of the column created in step 1
'index' => 'country',
'default' => '----'
));
If you want the field to appear at the end of the grid (as the last column) add it as the last call, otherwise, squeeze it between the existing calls exactly where you want it to end up in the admin.
Ad. 4)
This is a part I did not have to do in my customization of the Magento newsletter, so it will be mostly theoretical. The subscription occurs in the controller located at app/code/core/Mage/Newsletter/controllers/SubscriberController.php. Here's the code of the newAction method with my proposed changes:
public function newAction()
{
if ($this->getRequest()->isPost() && $this->getRequest()->getPost('email')) {
$session = Mage::getSingleton('core/session');
$email = (string) $this->getRequest()->getPost('email');
try {
if (!Zend_Validate::is($email, 'EmailAddress')) {
Mage::throwException($this->__('Please enter a valid email address'));
}
$status = Mage::getModel('newsletter/subscriber')->subscribe($email);
if ($status == Mage_Newsletter_Model_Subscriber::STATUS_NOT_ACTIVE) {
$session->addSuccess($this->__('Confirmation request has been sent'));
}
else {
$session->addSuccess($this->__('Thank you for your subscription'));
}
//ADD COUNTRY INFO START
//at this point we may safly assume that subscription record was created
//let's retrieve this record and add the additional data to it
$subscriber = Mage::getModel('newsletter/subscriber')->loadByEmail($email);
//assuming that the input's id is "country"
$subscriber->setCountry((string) $this->getRequest()->getPost('country'));
//don't forget to save the subscriber!
$subscriber->save();
//ADD COUNTRY INFO END
}
catch (Mage_Core_Exception $e) {
$session->addException($e, $this->__('There was a problem with the subscription: %s', $e->getMessage()));
}
catch (Exception $e) {
$session->addException($e, $this->__('There was a problem with the subscription'));
}
}
$this->_redirectReferer();
}
Going through the above steps should take care of the most part of your problem. Let me know how that last part worked out, as I did not have a chance to test it.
Once you have your additional field in the Subscriber object you can do whatever you want with it. I did not really get what you mean by
be sent as an email to a preset recipient
If you can explain that I will try to help you out with this part too.
Edit - how to send a mail when someone subscribes
Just add the following code to the controller after the part which adds country to a subscriber object.
$mail = new Zend_Mail();
$mail->setBodyHtml("New subscriber: $email <br /><br />Country: ".$this->getRequest()->getPost('country'));
$mail->setFrom("youremail#email.com")
->addTo("admin#mysite.com")
->setSubject("Your Subject here");
$mail->send();
Adding to the accepted answer, you can also get away with this a little easier if you're adding a date, datetime, or timestamp-type column.
In my case, I wanted to add a "Subscribed at Date" to my grid. To do this, I wrote my upgrade script, column type being TIMESTAMP and the default value being CURRENT_TIMESTAMP. This way, when the row is added, the current date/time is recorded.
Then, all you have to do is add your block customizations. I'd suggest doing it by extending Magento's grid block rather than doing the local codepool override though. This way, you only need to override _prepareColumns();
Old thread but if someone has the same question, there is a free extension, that adds fields for gender, firstname and lastname and makes it available in the backend grid for export via xml/csv: http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/extended-newsletter-subscription-for-guests.html
Perhaps you can extend the code to fit your needs.
This is a warning for anyone who's installed the Ebizmarts_MailChimp extension.
It's a great extension. But it adds subscriber_firstname and subscriber_lastname to the newsletter_subscriber table.
If you intend to create these fields, you should either "require" the Ebizmarts_MailChimp extension or check the fields don't exist before your extension creates them.
In the opposite, where you've created them and want to install the the Ebizmarts_MailChimp extension after you've created these fields, you will have to comment out the addColumn code for these two fields during installation.
