I have found loads of stuff like this on the Internet, but none of it is helping me and I would just love a direct response for this situation.
I have a text UI for my ammo which I simply want to access from the blueprint that handles firing. The text UI has a variable associated with it (At least, I assume this is my text UI):
But for unknown reasons won't let me make it public. That doesn't seem to matter though, because I have experimented with other public variables and I can't access them from my blueprint either!
How can I get access to my variable here so I can do what I wish?
I found your other questions so I assume you're using 4.12, like myself.
So I can use the variable declared in UMG as follows:
Step 1, make a text block, enable it as Is Variable:
Step 2, check it from the Graph part:
Step 3, some other Blueprint, use it:

We have the requirement, that we shall host an SAPUI5 application inside a java-application's host, which our vendor offered to us by implementing and exposing jxbrowser.
This vendor's java application offers an api, which can be accessed from within our SAPUI5 application.
This java api offers also an environment (or config-settings), where, amongst a rich set of settings, also a user language can be obtained.
And this language is neither a sap-logon language param nor is it guaranteed to be always the language which is set up in the "jx-browser" ( if possible at all, like in all real browsers ), and it uses the standard i18n _xy_AB acronym's naming style.
And I want to load the proper i18n_xy.properties at onInit of my first view and set them in the code.
We do have currently 4 of them ( _de,_it,_fr ), and the fallback is also present.
I am a little idiot, because I found some quick n dirty code, but this was about one month ago and I simply forgot the link and all of that. So now I need to ask( and maybe even for a best practice solution to this...)
So, additionally, another (my personal) requirement is, that, once I retrieve the right i18n file, I want to set it, in a way, that, whenever later on, I would use
info = this.getView().getModel("i18n").getResourceBundle().getText("obfuscated");
I always obtain the right text in the right language.
What I think of, is: Load the proper file ( according to the environment settings from the api ) in onInit, set this i18n as the proper one for the rest of the application's runtime and use a easy name for it, which will then be referred to as, maybe this:
info = this.getView().getModel("i18n_loaded").getResourceBundle().getText("obfuscated");
Is this possible, is this the right way, and , if not, which one is, according to some kind of guidelines, the best practice for this scenario ?
You can pass the parameter in the url:
sap-ui-language=en
Or set the default language in your JavaScript code:
sap.ui.getCore().getConfiguration().setLanguage("en-US");
I was not completely aware, that the determination of the used locale also works the other way around.
Meaning, if the ressource bundle contains e.g. 4 i18's,called i18_en, i18_it, i18_de, i18_fr, and the either the app is set up by
sap.ui.getCore().getConfiguration().setLanguage("en-US");
or the url-param, this not only means, that:
All ui-elements will be translated propery, once the locale's acronym is properly spotted
ALSO this is automatically replaced by the proper spotted ressource file and the translated text is retrieved properly....
info = this.getView().getModel("i18n").getResourceBundle().getText("obfuscated");
I was aware of how this fallback determination of a locale works, but I was not aware that it works also the other way around.
I close my question and i do not care about any rewards.
I would like to achieve the following thing-
Build a pagetype which has 3 different ContentArea's and that the user can put only a specific block type in each of these areas.
For example - ContentArea1 can only accept block type of "BlockType1", ContentArea2 can only accept "BlockType2" and so on. (It doesn't need to be generic, I can specify hard coded which type should fit in each Content Area.
Is it possible to achieve?
Maybe there is another way?
(I know you can create a property with the block type, but I want to use the same block in different places)
ps: using EPI-SERVER 8
From version 8.0 of EPiServer there is better support for AllowedTypes.
The feature was also available before version 8, but was more limited.
In short, you decorate your ContentArea property with the AllowedTypes attribute and EPiServer takes care of the rest.

I am trying to get started using viewpoint against EWS within Ruby, and it's not making a lot of sense at the moment. I am wondering where I can get some good example code, or some pointers? I am using 1.0.0-beta.
For example: I know the name of the calendar folder I want to use, so I could search for it, but how to access methods in that folder once I find it? What are the appropriate parameters, etc...
Any advice?
If you haven't read it yet I would recommend the README file in the repository. It has a couple of examples that should put you on the right path. Also, the generated API documentation should give you enough to work with.
http://rubydoc.info/github/WinRb/Viewpoint/frames
At a very basic level you can get all of your calendar events with the following code:
calendar = client.get_folder :calendar
events = calendar.items
I hope that gives you a little more to get started with.
Follow-up:
Again, I would point you to the API docs for concrete methods like #items. There are however dynamically added methods depending on the type that you can fetch with obj.ews_methods. In the case of CalendarItem one of those methods is #name so you can call obj.name to get the folder name. The dynamic methods are all backed by a formatted Hash based on the returned SOAP packet. You can see it in its raw format by issuing obj.ews_item

I've already looked at this but had no luck.
I've tried that example and it says undefined browserbot, I also tried the simple:
#browser.navigate.to "http://example.com"
#browser.execute_script("$('#hiddenthing').val('foo bar')")
which doesn't work at all, If i tried to set the value without javascript, it says you can't interact with hidden elements.
Any suggestions?
Selenium WebDriver cannot interact with hidden elements, it can only find them. If you attempt to do any user based interaction on a hidden element, you will get the error you saw above.
This is because SWD was created to emulate the things a user can directly do (with a few exceptions). Being able to interact with hidden elements falls outside the scope of SWD.
However, SWD does provide the ability to inject any javascript into the DOM of the browser (which makes handling these types of requirements more reasonable, if just a bit more difficult).
Try these two ways by executing javascript (as you saw from the above thread you linked to). Just remember that it requires the use of the return command:
#browser.execute_script("return document.getElementById('hiddinthing').value = 'foo';")
or if you do have jQuery
#browser.execute_script("return $('#hiddenthing').val('foo');")
I'm fairly new to Joomla (I've been more of a Wordpress guy) and I have a question about module positions.
Can a module know what position it's in. For instance can I do something like this:
if(modulePosition =='left'){
Do this...
}else{
Do that...
}
It seems easy enough, but I've searched for hours and can't find anything that will help me with that. I know there is a countModules function but from what I can tell, that just checks to see if the module is active or not.
Thanks for your help!
I found the answer! Mostly thanks to #Hanny. His idea of using the modules id got me googling for that and I came across the answer. For anyone else that happens to be looking to do something similar here it is.
You use a global variable $module (who'd a thought, right?)
So my code now looks like this:
$class = '';
if($module->position == 'position1'){
$class = 'class1';
}
and so on...
Pretty simple, huh?
To find out what else you can do with the global variable $module just put this in your code and see what info you can use:
echo(print_r($module));
Thanks for all your help!
The short answer is 'yes', you'll assign a module a position based on your template. When it shows up you can have conditionals like that regarding that position (different templates have different naming conventions for positions, so make sure you know what they are before coding).
For example, some use "Position12", others may use "leftcol", etc. You just have to check in the template files to see (you can check the .xml file in the template directory to see the positions listed in the template, or look in the index.php file for the jdoc includes).
In some of my experience, the only time you'll really ever need code like that is in the core layout files of the template (for example, if you have different widths of columns depending on modules being present or not), otherwise there won't really be a time where you 'may or may not' have a module showing up - because you'll explicitly be telling them where to be and when on the back end.
I tried to comment under john's solution but I don't have a enough rep points-- I wanted to add it doesn't matter what you name the module position in your template case-wise the position name you get back from $module->position is always all lowercase regardless of how you named the position in the template... ie. in your template xml somewhere you might have topBar position will be named 'topbar' not 'topBar' when you try to check it with
if($module->position == 'topBar') //always false... use instead
if($module->position == 'topbar') //what you need to use
I'm going to disagree with Hanny. I think the answer is no, not as you describe.
The template knows when it has reached a module position, and it gets a list of modules assigned to that position, then calls for them to be rendered. But it doesn't pass that information on. It's not stored in JApplication or JDocument etc either (like, nothing stores where in the template the rendering is up to or anything).
There are some hacky ways to almost get what you want though. If you know the template positions you need to search (sadly there's no easy method for getting this from the template - otherwise you could parse your template's .XML file for <position> elements...), then you could do something like:
<?php
$positions = array('left', 'right', 'top', 'bottom')
$found_in = false;
foreach ($positions as $cur_position)
{
$module_positions = JModuleHelper::getModules($cur_position);
foreach ($module_positions as $cur_module_in_pos)
{
if ($cur_module_in_pos->module == 'mod_MYMODULE')
{
$found_in = $cur_position;
}
}
}
if ($found_in)
...
Of course, this doesn't work well if your module is included multiple times on the page, but maybe that's an assumption you can make?
Otherwise it'd be up to hacking the core - you could use a JDispatcher::trigger() call before the template calls a module, set some var etc. Unfortunately there's no such event in core to start (a pre_module_render or something).
A module instance is assigned to a single position and this is stored in the database and normally you would style the position in the template. A module instance can only be assigned to one position. So while it's an interesting question, it's not really a practical one.
The exceptions to this are the following:
loadposition ... you might want to know if a module is being loaded using the plugin because this would put it potentially somewhere besides the styled area for the position. THough i would recommend always making a new instance for this precisely so you have more control.
loadmodule ... module loaded by name using the plugin. In this case again you are probably better off making a new instance of the module and styling it. Also I'd put it in a span or div anyway, depending what it is.
jdocinclude:module ... loading a module directly in a template. Again if you are doing this I would wrap it in a span or div. In this case you are also allowed to include a string of inline styles if you like that kind of thing.
Rendering the module to a string and echoing it, again that is basically a very customized solution and you would want to set the styles and options.
