CSV insert to database - codeigniter

This is not working as we discussed previously, for some reason and I have done is create some $vars for the uploaded file.
Code available here (Pastebin).
But never actually inserts anything
When doing a var_dump($csv_row) i get: bool(false)
var_dump($fh) shows: resource(89) of type (stream)
var_dump($insert_str) shows all 1700 records from the csv file (obviously too big to post on here)
So I’m guessing the while statement or the whole from if statement is wrong somewhere. Really really would appreciate some help on this, I need to get it working by tomorrow (monday)

You seem to be using the codeigniter database library wrong. I can see a
$this->db->set($insert_str);
but no $this->db->insert() to be found. The set() method only useful with an update() or insert() following it, See the docs, search for $this->db->set().
You either want to use the $this->db->insert_batch() (on the same doc page, unfortunately no direct links for sections) form and build up an array of arrays with your records (so you won't have to create a long sql string either).
Or you can use the $this->db->query() and just feed the $insert_str to it where you now call $this->db->set().
According to your question:
var_dump($insert_str) shows all 1700 records from the csv file
So i would rule out the possibility of the while loop or the if not working.

Put this code at the top of the controller or before reading csv file
ini_set('auto_detect_line_endings', true);
Check if this will work for you

grails sort by date not working

I have domain object named Roll and on the list page i want to show the user all the Roll objects iterating through a list, sorted by entry date.
Here is the code i am using
[rollList: Roll.findAll(sort:"rollDate"){userid==uid}]
rollDate is a field inside the Roll object with data type java.util.Date
Any suggestion on why the output is not sorted by rollDate. When i iterate through the rollList on the gsp page it is not sorted.
Also, on the Roll domain object i have even put this code, but it's still not sorting.
static mapping = {
sort "rollDate"
}
Thank you.
Why aren't you using the dynamic finders?
Roll.findAllByUserid( uid, [ sort:"rollDate", order: 'desc'] )
should work.
The findAll( Map, Closure ) method appeared not a long time ago, perhaps it was not tested well...
You might need to use order in your query as well, then add order to it
[rollList: Roll.findAll(sort:"rollDate", order: 'desc'){userid==uid}]
After trying both the solutions mentioned it still didn't work. So i thought something might be wrong on the front end.
While researching more i found that since i was using jquery data tables it used to re order the sorting. The solutions i found was here
jQuery DataTable rows order
So both the answers above are correct. The issue was actually with jquery data tables.

Birt Reports - Don't generate an empty report

I have several Birt Reports that I am trying to set up to run on a cron job that will email pdfs of the reports every morning. Everything is working fine as far as the generation and emailing goes; the only issue I am stuck with is this: if there is nothing to report, a pdf with just the report title is generated and emailed (a blank report, basically). I'd like to stop this report from being generated at all, so i can skip the emailing, if the pdf file does not exist.
I have been all over Google for two days now, and the closest I can find is this: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/458779/ in which someone was trying to solve a similar problem and received a push in the right direction, but not a complete solution.
It appears as if this can be done during the beforerender script... but how?
I know I need to:
set a persistent global variable in the oncreate if there is indeed data to report.
get the persistent global variable in the beforerender script.
send the magic don't generate report command.
I'm doing all of generating and emailing from a php script, not Java, so I can't send commands like IEngineTask.cancel() (or can I???)
Yes, I know I can make a row in the report that says "No data to report", but that's not what my users want.
And yes, I could query the database outside of the report to determine if there is valid data to report or not, but i'd prefer not to.
And maybe I could even open and read the pdf, programmatically to see if there is anything there, but that sounds like more of a hassle than it's worth...
So, how do I do this?
Thanks.
My answer is a little bit late, but I'm doing it like this in a framework that is working for hundreds of reports, probably it could be simplified for a single report:
Note that all the code is written from memory (not copied from our framework), so maybe it contains some errors.
Add an external Javascript file myframework.js to your report.
In this file, define an object myframework like this:
if (myframework == undefined) {
myframework = {
dataFound: false,
afterReport: function() {
// Write it to the appContext.
// Using Java, you could read it after the
// runAndRenderTask is done.
reportContext.getAppContext().put("dataFound", this.dataFound);
// But since you probably cannot the context
// (don't like coding Java?), the report has to
// tell it to he world some other way...
var txt = "dataFound=" + (dataFound? "true": "false");
var fw = new java.io.FileWriter("c:\\reportcontext.out");
fw.write(txt);
fw.close();
}
};
}
Add the JS file to your report's resources.
In your report, at a place where you decide that the report has found something (e.g. typically in a data set's onFetch event), tell the framework so by calling
myframework.dataFound = true;
In the reports's afterFactory or afterRender event, call
myframework.afterReport();
Then your report should create an output file c:\reportcontext.out which contains the information you need.

Google Analytics not tracking conversions in Magento 1.7

I'm using Magento's built in Googleanalytics module which is working fine for page views, but not for conversions. The account is set up fine on Google, but it's not adding the addTrans part in the checkout/onepage/success page.
I've done a lot of digging this morning, and found that the observer does observe the "checkout_onepage_controller_success_action" correctly, and does indeed run. It does the following:
$block = Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getAction()->getLayout()->getBlock('google_analytics');
if ($block) {
$block->setOrderIds($orderIds);
}
I've done some echoing, and it does retrieve the block, and it also sets the order ids correctly. However, in the block itself, if I echo out $this->getOrderIds(); its empty.
My next thought was that perhaps it could be using two GA blocks on the page, and maybe its passing the data to the first one but echoing the HTML of the 2nd one, but I've no clue how to start checking that! The Googleanalytics.xml file only has one block it in, and I don't use that block name anywhere else!
Anyone experienced similar? Or have any idea where I can go from here?
EDIT:
The Ga.php block includes the transaction code if $this->getOrderIds() returns an array, which it is not doing. However, the observer is doing $block->setOrderIds($order_ids); which is passing through an array containing an order id. So the observer is passing the ids to the block, and the block is receiving them (setting up a method of setBlockIds and echoing out the argument, does show the array), but when the block tries to access its own data, it's suddenly not there ($block->getData() returns an array of properties but there is no order_ids property).
I also figured maybe it could be that its echoing the blocks HTML before setting the order id, so I added some variables in to check that and it's not that - its definitely setting the order_ids before trying to get them again, but its still not working!
I'm completely stumped! My only idea now is to modify the Ga.php block to use Magento's registry instead of it's own _data property, which is really not a nice way of doing it!
I think i've been an utter tool. Magento wasn't tracking conversions on the live site because I hadn't put the account code in the configuration part, but I had on my test site.
I had previously put my own analytics code in the template, so I had tracked page views.
When I saw no conversions (despite putting the account code in my test site), I started making orders on the test site and then viewing the source of the order success page. Firefox loads its source as a new request...which automatically goes to the empty basket page. So obviously, it wasn't showing the addTrans or anything, because it had already done that.
A quick check in firebug revealled it was working as it should.
So in the end, after a day of searching, I had to change "No" to "Yes" in the admin, and type in the account code. Great.

Serialization not allowed in Magento?

When I turn on cache in Magento, I get the following exception:
Serialization of 'Mage_Core_Model_Layout_Element' is not allowed
Exception occurs in app/code/core/Mage/Page/Block/Template/Links.php, on line:
return parent::getCacheKeyInfo() + array(
'links' => base64_encode(serialize($links)),
'name' => $this->getNameInLayout()
)
I am using Magento Enterprise 1.10 and PHP 5.3.
Can anyone tell me what the problem is?
You shouldn't have an empty after_text or before_text tags in your layout file. If you don't need it, just delete the tag at all.
If it will not help, dump the $links variable before the 150th line in the app/code/core/Mage/Page/Block/Template/Links.php file, and you will see an array with arrays inside it. All of keys and values should be strings or integers, not objects. The key of array value which is an object will tell you which tag to delete from the layout file.
Awesome #vsushkov.
I used:
try{
serialize($links);
} catch(Exception $e){
Mage::log($links);
die;
}
to find out exact layout where we had those empty tags and after removing those empty tags, it fixed the issue and then removed above code :-)
Saw this issue on a clients site. None of the solutions above worked for me. After much googling of the error, it seems to be related to JM or JoomlArt themes/extensions.
The code is extremely poorly written. For example some of the things you will find in these themes include:
Declaring php classes inside templates,
Setting global variables inside templates,
Setting data into superglobals from templates,
Providing a translation file, yet not wrapping most text strings in template in the translate function
I found 1 response from their support staff essentially suggesting to turn off error reporting to fix the issue.
I found my problem in app/design/frontend/default/jm_adamite/template/catalog/navigation/tops.phtml
There was a line setting $this into $_SESSION. I commented it out and the error went away. Nothing else appeared broken. A grep for that variable being used anywhere else had 0 results. If you have one of these JM extensions installed or use one of their themes, I would suspect that first
Good luck
This problem happened to me when trying to serialize categories after calling the getCategoryUrl function after digging i found out that that set _urlModel object which cannot be serialized as it contains Mage_Core_Model_Layout_Element so before serializing the object check if it has that _urlModel property

Getting a blank data report vb6

I am new to vb6. I am working to create the invoice generation application. I am using data report to show the generated invoice.
The step by step working of process is:
Entering the data in to Invoice and ItemsInvoice tables.
Then getting the maxId using (Adodc) from the data base to show the last generated Invoice.
Then passing the max Id as parameter to the data report which is showing the invoice according to the invoice id.
It is working fine when I first time generate invoice. Now for 2nd invoice without closing application I am getting a blank data report. For data report I am using dataenvironment.
I am guessing the reason the data report is blank is because there was no record for that Id, but actually the record is inserting in the database.
What is going wrong?
I'm not sure how your data set is getting configured, but it sounds like you have a single record in the data and aren't reloading it properly. If your report is manually moving through the recordset and only showing info based on the ID parameter you are passing it and then using the same recordset for the second report, you probably just need to MoveFirst on the recordset to put it back at the beginning.
Load the data environment and refresh the data report.
I am also generating report in the similar fashion. I faced this problem. Here's the solution
Load DataEnvironment1
With DataEnvironment1
'Command1 is the command added to data environment where you fire query or
'set it to point to a table
If .rsCommand1.State <> 0 Then .rsCommand1.Close
.Command1 maxid 'parameter you pass to the recordset
End With
DataReport1.Refresh
DataReport1.Show
Thats it!
You are done. I m sure it will work. Do tell me if it doesn't.
I don't know if the answer will still bother you, but if someone else have the same problem here is a example of how the problem works:
Imagine that there is a gate and a guard looking who is entering, when the first person (the first invoice) comes, the guard registers him, opens the gate (This is the event "Load DataEnvironmet") and then lets the guy pass. The guard believes that no one else would come and lets the door open (the instruction believes that the DataEnvironment ends and the value EOF becomes True), but when the second guy comes (the second invoice) the guard can't ask him who is (has, again, the value and lets it pass without registering him (this is the reason why the second invoice, and subsequent in while invoice would come blank). The solution is to close the gate ("Unload DataEnvironment") after a guy passes (After showing the data report).
The solution is the code given from Sangita above, but just before ending the sub you need to unload the DataEnvironment you were working on.
For me, it works. Sorry if the answer is not what you were looking for (and also if someone else can't understand what I'm writing, my English isn't very good). Just in case I will write the code with the solution
Load DataEnvironment1
With DataEnvironment1
If .rsCommand1.State <> 0 Then
.rsCommand1.Close
End If
.Command1 Value(ID)
End With
DataReport1.Refresh
DataReport1.Show
Unload DataEnvironment1
Try a refresh method like data1.recordset.requery or
Data1.refresh. This should work if you use data controls.
