I need help on Joomla v1.5.25, I already have it running and everything seems fine.
I wish to add a list of data for example a list of KFC Outlets, and enable a search box so that visitors can just key in the City Name of the KFC outlet that they are looking for and the result will be a list of KFC Outlets matching the City Name keyed in.
Apologize if this question have been asked previously, and I am new to this. Hope someone can shed some light or point me to the proper site for this question.
Thanks
Either you can use some1else's work - I suggest
Check out http://www.kfc.com/storelocator/Default.aspx?address=new%20york
And take the results on that page
This is only good for USA - if you need all countries then you will need to go through all their sites and collect results for all the pages.
or you should:
create a new table in mysql each row should have info about a kfc outlet (address, phone, open hours, etc...)
create a new joomla component or module in which you should have your sql select query to search and then return the list of results.
You can then create a form on any page for searching

I have been stuck on this since May 2020. I don't know how to move forward with the project. Any link or guidance would be very much appreciated. I'm trying to create a very simple rental system.
I have a Customer table: id, Name, Barcode
Another one is Item table: id, Name, Barcode, OnLoan
I'm trying to create a Form where there is a search box for Customer and search box for the Items. When the customer barcode is found and item barcode is found, you can fill in the Date Loaned and Date Due and click submit.
In the Item table, the OnLoan needs to be set to 1.
How do we do this please? Any link or keywords to help me on my way would be really great.
I have been googling and found out about onetomany, manytomany, pivot, scope, repositories. It's very overwhelming, i'm trying to go over them one at a time.
I want to create a membership based site in Umbraco 7, following the umbraco.tv videos and reading through the docs have got me quite far.
My members will have custom properties, firstname, lastname, favourite colours, hats owned etc. I have been adding each of these as custom properties and then assigning them to the tab I want. This works fine and I can then access them from code using:
Members.GetCurrentMember().GetProperty("lastname").Value.ToString();
When I looked in my database I noticed that each of these custom properties is a row in the cmsPropertyData table, linked to the cmsMember table by the nodeId column. Is there a way I can set all of this information to store in it's own table?
Ideally, I want each Member to have a one to many relationship with favourite colours, as well as one to many relationships with other tables; each member might have 100 hats for example. What is the best way for me to set this up? Shall I create custom tables in my Umbraco database for HatsOwned and FavouriteColours, then assign each Member a unique ID so I can set my foreign keys up correctly? That way I would only need to store the Members Unique Id in the cmsPropertyTable. Is there a better way to let Umbraco deal with it? Would I have difficulty retrieving Members using either the Umbraco orm, or EF?
Any help or pointers greatly appreciated!
I would store all data in the PROFILE of the member, in the umbraco membership. E.g. timezone, hair color, ... This makes sense for other developers to find back the data.
For all other data, you have a few options:
Relationships
If you want to link nodes to members, or nodes to nodes, or... Relations link 2 umbraco entities and can be one way or two way. If you have a color node, you can link all members to this node. Just create a "favoriteColor" relationship on the developer section, linking up nodes to members. Do some programming and you are done. Don't forget that a relation is a database record linking 2 umbraco entities. So think of some caching if you use this in your front end to take off some database load. Read more on the Relationship Api in the umbraco documentation.
Content
It's pretty easy to create new nodes using code to store e.g. comments on an article. Because you are republishing the xml cache every time you create (and publish) a node, don't use content nodes for stroring your data if you have a lot of updates.
External data
It is perfectly legit to store data outside of umbraco. Just create your own tables (or content to any service you created). You could use every ORM you want to, but I would recommend PetaPoco. The reason is obvious. Umbraco uses it also. And it will make you a better Umbraco developer. There is a detailed post on stackoverflow on how to work with external data in umbraco.
I have taken over a Joomla project that needs rebuilding.
I need to get out the user data and some other data linked to users, I have found most of it in the jos_user table and also a table named jos_comprofiler.
There is data inside of jos_sobipro_field_data that I also need, but I do not know how this table related to anything else can someone please explain? I am able to write SQL and the JOIN statements to get it out once I understand how it all fits together.
Finally the table jos_comprofiler references an avatar which is an image name like '100_4f97c0b3c2c31.jpg' where can I find these images?
Thanks, Jake
I can tell you where those tables are coming from:
- jos_users is the user table used by Joomla core, together with jos_user_profiles for additional profile information.
- jos_comprofiler is a table created by the Community Builder extension from http://www.joomlapolis.com/.
- jos_sobipro_field_data is a table created by SobiPro from http://sobipro.sigsiu.net/
Maybe that helps you find the next steps. Maybe someone else knows more details.
Having some trouble getting this to work... I basically want the report to look similar to:
The way I remember doing this in the past was by creating "page groups" in the report wizard. However, I believe that was in VS05, and now the report wizard is very different in VS10. It now has column groups and row groups but no page groups, and I can't see how to get this to work without the wizard either. If tried looking for a tutorial or example but haven't had much luck. Also, the site 'gotreportviewer.com' is pretty terrible and has not been much help.
To create the effect of one record per page means you need to set a group element to the report. For instance assume you have a database table called "Login" and you wanted to group by a person's login name. Here is what you do:
First add a table to the report like so:
The table can be found in the "Toolbox" on the left hand side of VS2010. Once the table is added you will want to add a group to this table:
After this you will want to go to the properties of the group:
Here you simply can set a page break between each instance of a group, in addition, this will give you a "one record per page".
I am using a SP2010 custom list as a weekly time sheet for an organization of about 50 employees and 8 managers to use. To create an item, an employee enters client, project, activity type, week ending, and hours in the default view. Now I want to create another view that is restricted to managers. Ideally, I want SP2010 to know who the manager is, and restrict the items they can see to be only those items created by their employees.
I tried the following with no luck.
There is a user information list created by IT that includes all the members of my organization. I added the Manager's Name to every item.
I re-purposed the Modified By column appeared in my custom list when I created that list.
Specifically, I renamed the Modified By column which is a Person or Group type to Manager's Name and changed the value of Show Field: to Manager's Name. I would have rather not done it this way, but I couldn't figure out how I add a list column that is a Person or Group type, and allows you to pick a column to populate with the value I needed.
I saved the view settings and I could see the Manager's Names in the first column for their specific employees. So far so good!
Then I re-edited the view and created a filter that shows items when Manager's Name is equal to [ME].
I saved the view setting and this time I could not see any employee list items which made sense since I am not a people manager.
I had a colleague who is a people manager try it out and he saw no items for his employees, yet I know there are a dozen or so, and they showed up in #4.
I changed the filter to look for his name specifically, and he still could not see his employees, although I could.
So I figured it must be a permission level issue since his permission level was Contribute and mine is Full Control.
I bumped him up to Design level, and he could see his employees as long as I hard-coded his name in the filter for the view.
Do someone knows how to do this easily?
From what I have learnt, there are differences in creating lists and libraries.
A library does not seem to have the functionality displaying group fields in the correct format, whereas a list does. So if you want to create a view for managers / employees then you need to do it in a list, with the manager and employee both as columns in the view.
Just ensure that the employees and managers do not have access to edit their views.
