I'm totally new to Alfresco and their Javascript API so please bear that in mind...
I want to be able to view a list of groups for every user in Alfresco repository.
This is the code I have at the moment:
var gens = search.luceneSearch("TYPE:\"{http://www.alfresco.org/model/content/1.0}person\"");
var logFile = space.childByNamePath("log_user_groups.csv");
if (logFile == null) {
logFile = space.createFile("log_user_groups.csv");
}
logFile.content = "";
for (var i=0; i<gens.length;i++) {
logFile.content += gens[i].properties["cm:userName"]+"\n";
var groupes= people.getContainerGroups(gens[i]);
for (var j=0; j<groupes.length;j++) {
logFile.content += "\t"+groupes[j].properties.shortName +"\t";
logFile.content += "\t"+groupes[j].properties.fullName +"\t";
logFile.content += "\t"+groupes[j].properties.displayName +"\n";
}
}
The file is created with the user name shown correctly. However the group properties 'shortName', 'fullName' and 'displayName' are all null. In fact I printed out all the properties of the 'groupes' object and every field of the object is 'undefined'.
Does any body know what I am doing wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The easiest way would be to turn it on its head. Instead, for each group ask what groups and what users it contains. At the end, invert it.
You'll want to start with the Root Groups. The groups JS object in Alfresco will give you these, and others. It's implemented by ScriptAuthorityService, so you'll likely want to look at the JavaDocs
First up, get the root groups
var rootGroups = groups.getAllRootGroups() ;
For each group, get all the users in the group (direct and inherited) with getAllUsers(), and store those somewhere. Now, get all the child groups with getChildGroups(). Process each of these in the same way, recursing as needed.
I needed something similar (a complete list of groups) so I did this:
var temp = [];
function addGroups (groups)
{
for each (group in groups)
{
temp.push(group.getDisplayName());
addGroups(group.getChildGroups());
}
}
addGroups(groups.getAllRootGroups());
This works to a point. The problem is that getDisplayName() returns a very non-pretty group name. Normally when dealing with documents and displaying a group name associated with a user I would do people.getContainerGroups() and use group.properties["cm:authorityName"] to get a displayable name (as mentioned above), however the groups I receive from getAllRootGroups() do not have properties (group.properties is undefined).
Does anyone have any idea why the group list returned this way wouldn't have the same properties as those returned by people.getContainerGroups()?
I guess you're using the wrong properties name.
You need the following:
Full Name: groupes[j].properties["usr:authorityName"]
Display Name: groupes[j].properties["usr:authorityDisplayName"]
Short Name: I don't know :) maybe groupes[j].properties["usr:authorityShortName"]
You can also just get the NodeRef id.
Then login to Alfresco explorer. Then go to the administration console --> Node Browser
Paste the id (it should be something like workspace://spacesStore//biglongUUID).There you can see al the properties related to the group.
Or you could just loop the groupes[k].properties map and print all the properties.

I'm working on my first laravel project: a family tree. I have 4 branches of the family, each with people/families/images/stories/etc. A given user on the website will have access to everything for 1, 2, or 4 of these branches of the family (I don't want to show a cousin stuff for people they're not related to).
So on various pages I want the collections from the controller to contain stuff based on the given user's permissions. Merge seems like the right way to do this.
I have scopes to get people from each branch of the family, and in the following example I also have a scope for people with a birthday this month. In order to show the right set of birthdays for this user, I can get this by merging each group individually if they have access.
Here's what my function would look like if I showed everyone in all 4 family branches:
public function get_birthday_people()
{
$user = \Auth::user();
$jones_birthdays = Person::birthdays()->jones()->get();
$smith_birthdays = Person::birthdays()->smith()->get();
$lee_birthdays = Person::birthdays()->lee()->get();
$brandt_birthdays = Person::birthdays()->brandt()->get();
$birthday_people = $jones_birthdays
->merge($smith_birthdays)
->merge($lee_birthdays )
->merge($brandt_birthdays );
return $birthday_people;
My challenge: I'd like to modify it so that I check the user's access and only add each group of people accordingly. I'm imagining something where it's all the same as above except I add conditionals like this:
if($user->jones_access) {
$jones_birthdays = Person::birthdays()->jones()->get();
}
else{
$jones_birthdays =NULL;
}
But that throws an error for users without access because I can't call merge on NULL (or an empty array, or the other versions of 'nothing' that I tried).
What's a good way to do something like this?
if($user->jones_access) {
$jones_birthdays = Person::birthdays()->jones()->get();
}
else{
$jones_birthdays = new Collection;
}
Better yet, do the merge in the condition, no else required.
$birthday_people = new Collection;
if($user->jones_access) {
$birthday_people->merge(Person::birthdays()->jones()->get());
}
You are going to want your Eloquent query to only return the relevant data for the user requesting it. It doesn't make sense to query Lee birthdays when a Jones person is accessing that page.
So what you will wind up doing is something like
$birthdays = App\Person::where('family', $user->family)->get();
This pulls in Persons where their family property is equal to the family of the current user.
This probably does not match the way you have your relationships right now, but hopefully it will get you on the right track to getting them sorted out.
If you really want to go ahead with a bunch of queries and checking for authorization, read up on the authorization features of Laravel. It will give let you assign abilities to users and check them easily.
I'm currently trying to implement AJAX results filtering on a certain page.
I created the dropdowns(on the client side), so that they have the umbraco prevalue id as their value.
I will then send this id to the server, rather than the text value. Then I loop through my content to find items with this same id.
The problem, however, is that I can't figure out how to get the value id from the property. Everything either returns the text value, or just a 0 value.
This is being performed in an ApiController.
These are all of the options I've tried:
IPublishedContent root = Umbraco.TypedContentAtRoot().First();
var downloads = root.Children.Where(q => q.Name == "Downloads").SingleOrDefault();
foreach (var item in downloads.Children)
{
var test = item.GetPropertyValue<int>("classification");
var testing = item.GetProperty("classification");
var testVal = testing.DataValue;
var testValToo = testing.GetValue<int>();
var testThree = testing.Value;
}
These are the results in order:
- 0
- IPublishedProperty
- "textValue"
- 0
- "textValue"
Is it possible to get the selected value id from a dropdownlist property? Or is string matching my only option to compare values?
EDIT:
Nevermind, found the solution. Posting the answer here, in case someone else needs it.
I was using the data type dropdownlist. I should have been using dropdownlist:publishing keys.
dropdownlist only ever returns a value. dropdownlist:publishing keys, however, returns the prevalue id, rather than the text value.

Something like this perhaps.
library.GetPreValueAsString(node.GetProperty<int>("sectionType")).ToLower()
I am trying to programmatically add a member (name and email address) to an existing Outlook Distribution List, but I can figure out how to grab it. I have found many postings describing how to create a new Outlook Distribution List, but none on how to add a member to an existing one. I have been able to retrieve the items collection of the Contacts folder, but I cannot access the Outlook Distribution List I want. Keep in mind that the Contacts folder contains at least two different object types, Contact Items and Distribution List items. Is there a way to just retrieve the Distribution List items from the Contacts folder? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have no code worth posting.
I have made some progress. I now have the below code:
Outlook.MAPIFolder outlookContactsFolder = outlookNamespace.GetDefaultFolder(Outlook.OlDefaultFolders.olFolderContacts); // Get Contacts folder.
Outlook.Items outlookContactsItems = outlookContactsFolder.Items; // Get the Items collection.
for (int i = 1; i <= outlookContactsItems.Count; i++)
{
if (i == 62)
{
Outlook.DistListItem outlookDistListItem = outlookContactsItems.GetNext();
Outlook.Recipient outlookRecipient = **(Need help creating a Recipient object with a name and email address)**
outlookDistListItem.AddMember(outlookRecipient);
outlookDistListItem.Save();
break;
}
else
{
Outlook.ContactItem outlookContactsItem = outlookContactsItems.GetNext();
}
}
I know this is not the best way, but it works. I can now access the Distribution List without the code blowing up. Now I need to add a new member to it. I know I can do that with the AddMember method, but it takes an Outlook.Recipient object. I can't find anywhere how to create it with a name and email address.
My main question here is dealing with the pramas map when having a one-to-many relationship managed within one dynamic form, as well as best practices for dealing with one-to-many when editing/updating a domain object through the dynamic form. The inputs for my questions are as follows.
I have managed to hack away a form that allows me to create the domain objects shown below in one Dynamic form, since there is no point in having a separate form for creating phone numbers and then assigning them to a contact, it makes sense to just create everything in one form in my application. I managed to implement something similar to what I have asked in my Previous Question (thanks for the people who helped out)
class Contact{
String firstName
String lastName
// ....
// some other properties
// ...
static hasMany = [phones:Phone]
static mapping = {
phones sort:"index", cascade: "all-delete-orphan"
}
}
class Phone{
int index
String number
String type
Contact contact
static belongsTo = [contact:Contact]
}
I basically managed to get the values from the 'params' map and parse them on my own and create the domain object and association manually. I.e. i did not use the same logic that is used in the default scaffolding, i.e.
Contact c = new Contact(params)
etc...., i just looped through all the params and hand crafted my domain objects and saved them and everything works out fine.
My controller has code blocks that look like this (this is stripped down, just to show a point)
//create the contact by handpicking params values
def cntct = new Contact()
cntct.firstName = params.firstName
cntct.lastName = params.lastName
//etc...
//get array of values for number,type
def numbers = params['phone.number']
def types = params['phone.type']
//loop through one of the arrays and create the phones
numbers.eachWithIndex(){ num, i ->
//create the phone domain object from
def phone = new Phone()
phone.number = num
phone.type = types[i]
phone.index = i
cntct.addToPhones(phone)
}
//save
My questions are as follows:
What is the best practice of handeling such a situation, would using Command objects work in this case, if yes where can i found more info about this, all the examples I have found during my search deal with one-to-one relationships, I couldn't find an example for one-to-many?
What is the best way to deal with the relatiohsips of the phones in this case, in terms of add/removing phones when editing the contact object. I mean the creation logic is simple since I have to always create new phones on save, but when dealing with updating a contact, the user might have removed a phone and/or editing an exiting one and/or added some new phones. Right now what I do is just delete all the phones a contact has and re-create them according to what was posted by the form, but I feel that's not the best way to do it, I also don't think looping over the existing ones and comparing with the posted values and doing a manual diff is the best way to do it either, is there a best practice on how to deal with this?
Thanks, hopefully the questions are clear.
[edit] Just for more information, phone information can be added and deleted dynamically using javascript (jquery) within the form [/edit]
disclaimer: i do not know if the following approach works when using grails. Let me know later.
See better way for dynamic forms. The author says:
To add LineItems I have some js that calculates the new index and adds that to the DOM. When deleting a LineItem i have to renumber all the indexes and it is what i would like to avoid
So what i do
I have a variable which stores the next index
var nextIndex = 0;
When the page is loaded, i perform a JavaScript function which calculates how many child The collection has and configure nextIndex variable. You can use JQuery or YUI, feel free.
Adding a child statically
I create a variable which store the template (Notice {index})
var child = "<div>"
+= "<div>"
+= "<label>Name</label>"
+= "<input type="text" name=\"childList[{index}].name\"/>"
+= "</div>"
+= "</div>"
When the user click on the Add child button, i replace {index} - by using regex - by the value stored in the nextIndex variable and increment by one. Then i add to the DOM
See also Add and Remove HTML elements dynamically with Javascript
Adding a child dinamically
Here you can see The Paolo Bergantino solution
By removing
But i think it is the issue grow up when deleting. No matter how many child you remove, does not touch on the nextIndex variable. See here
/**
* var nextIndex = 3;
*/
<input type="text" name="childList[0].name"/>
<input type="text" name="childList[1].name"/> // It will be removed
<input type="text" name="childList[2].name"/>
Suppose i remove childList1 What i do ??? Should i renumber all the indexes ???
On the server side i use AutoPopulatingList. Because childList1 has been removed, AutoPopulatingList handles it as null. So on the initialization i do
List<Child> childList = new AutoPopulatingList(new ElementFactory() {
public Object createElement(int index) throws ElementInstantiationException {
/**
* remove any null value added
*/
childList.removeAll(Collections.singletonList(null));
return new Child();
}
});
This way, my collection just contains two child (without any null value) and i do not need to renumber all the indexes on the client side
About adding/removing you can see this link where i show a scenario wich can gives you some insight.
See also Grails UI plugin
Thanks,
Your answer brought some insight for me to do a wider search and I actually found a great post that covers all the inputs in my question. This is just a reference for anyone reading this. I will write a blog entry on how I implemented my case soon, but this link should provide a good source of ino with a working exmaple.
http://www.2paths.com/2009/10/01/one-to-many-relationships-in-grails-forms/
Most of the time I use ajax to manage such problem.
So when the user clicks add new phone I get the template UI from the server for manageability purpose ( the UI just same GSP template that I use to edit, update the phone), so this way you are not mixing your UI with your js code, whenever you want to change the UI you have to deal only with our GSP code.
Then after getting the UI I add it to the page using jquery DOM manipulation. Then after filling the form when they hit add(save) the request is sent to the server via ajax and is persisted immediately.
When the user clicks edit phone the same UI template is loaded from the server filled with existing phone data, then clicking update will update the corresponding phone immediately via ajax, and same thing applies to delete operation.
But one day I got an additional scenario for the use case that says, "until I say save contact no phone shall be saved on the backend, also after adding phones to the contact on the ui if navigate away to another page and come back later to the contact page the phones I added before must be still there." ugh..
To do this I started using the Session, so the above operations I explained will act on the phone list object I stored on the session instead of the DB. This is simple perform all the operation on the phonesInSession but finally dont forget to do this(delete update):
phonesToBeDeleted = phonesInDB - phonesInSession
phonesToBeDeleted.each{
contact.removeFromPhones(it)
it.delete()
}
I know I dont have to put a lot of data in session but this is the only solution I got for my scenario.
If someone has got similar problem/solution please leave a comment.
First, in all your input fields names you add an #:
<input type="text" name="references[#].name"/>
Second, add call a function before submitting:
<g:form action="save" onsubmit="replaceAllWildCardsWithConsecutiveNumbers();">
Third, this is the code for the function that you call before submitting the form:
function replaceAllWildCardsWithConsecutiveNumbers(){
var inputs = $('form').find("[name*='#']");
var names = $.map(inputs, function(el) { return el.name });
var uniqueNames = unique(names);
for (index in uniqueNames) {
var uniqueName = uniqueNames[index];
replaceWildCardsWithConsecutiveNumbers("input", uniqueName);
replaceWildCardsWithConsecutiveNumbers("select", uniqueName);
}
}
function unique(array){
return array.filter(function(el, index, arr) {
return index === arr.indexOf(el);
});
}
function replaceWildCardsWithConsecutiveNumbers(inputName, name){
counter = 0;
$(inputName + "[name='" + name + "']").each(function (i, el) {
var curName = $(this).attr('name');
var newName = curName.replace("#", counter);
$(this).attr('name', newName);
counter += 1;
});
}
Basically, what the code for replaceAllWildCardsWithConsecutiveNumbers() does, is to create a list for all input (or select) elements whose name contains an #. Removes the duplicates. And then iterates over them replacing the # with a number.
This works great if you have a table and you are submitting the values to a command object's list when creating a domain class for the first time. If you are updating I guess you'll have to change the value of counter to something higher.
I hope this helps someone else since I was stuck on this issue for a while myself.
I am using the Exchange Web Services Managed API to work with Tasks (Exchange 2007 SP1). I can create them fine. However, when I try to do updates, it works for all of the fields except for the .Body field. Whenever I try to access (read/update) that field, it gives the following error:
"You must load or assign this property before you can read its value."
The code I am using looks like this:
//impersonate the person whose tasks you want to read
Me.Impersonate(userName); //home-made function to handle impersonation
//build the search filter
Exchange.SearchFilter.SearchFilterCollection filter = New Exchange.SearchFilter.SearchFilterCollection();
filter.Add(New Exchange.SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(Exchange.TaskSchema.Categories, "Sales"));
//do the search
EWS.Task exTask = esb.FindItems(Exchange.WellKnownFolderName.Tasks, filter, New Exchange.ItemView(Integer.MaxValue));
exTask.Subject = txtSubject.Text; //this works fine
exTask.Body = txtBody.Text; //This one gives the error implying that the object isn't loaded
The strange thing is that, inspecting the property bag shows that the object contains 33 properties, but {Body} is not one of them. That property seems to be inherited from the base class .Item, or something.
So, do I need to re-load the object as type Item? Or reload it via .Bind or something? Keep in mind that I need to do this with thousands of items, so efficiency does matter to me.
Calling the Load method solved my problem :)
foreach (Item item in findResults.Items)
{
item.Load();
string subject = item.Subject;
string mailMessage = item.Body;
}
I had the same problem when using the EWS. My Code is requesting the events(Appointments) from the
Outlook calendar, at the end I couldn't reach to the body of the Event itself.
The missing point in my situation was the following "forgive me if there is any typo errors":
After gathering the Appointments, which are also derived from EWS Item Class, I did the following:
1- Create a List with the type Item:
List<Item> items = new List<Item>();
2- Added all appointments to items list:
if(oAppointmentList.Items.Count > 0) // Prevent the exception
{
foreach( Appointment app in oAppointmentList)
{
items.Add(app);
}
}
3- Used the exchanged service "I have already created and used":
oExchangeService.LoadPropertiesForItems(items, PropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
now if you try to use app.Body.Text, it will return it successfully.
Enjoy Coding and Best Luck

You can load properties using a custom property set. Some properties are Extended properties instead of FirstClassProperties.
Little example:
_customPropertySet = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties, AppointmentSchema.MyResponseType, AppointmentSchema.IsMeeting, AppointmentSchema.ICalUid);
_customPropertySet.RequestedBodyType = BodyType.Text;
appointment.Load(_customPropertySet);
