My question is related to a performance issue I'm experiencing using the context module with a large number of menus. The performance issue may be a result of a module I created to import a menu structure from a different CMS into Drupal. I programatically created the menu items using menu_link_save(), passing in the menu_name, link_path (node/$nid), link_title, plid, and weight. The router_path that gets assigned to these is "node/%".
My performance issue appears to be that the context module is calling menu_link_load() for every menu item that exists (there are quite a few), and from that calling node_load() because of way the router_path is set.
In trying to troubleshoot this, I see there is a router_path of "node" in the database which has a different access_callback and access_arguments than "node/%". What is the difference between these two router_paths, how do they relate to one another, and when does one get called vs. the other?
The path 'node' shows all nodes wich are set to active&frontpage, it is also the default path for your frontpage for this reason.
The path 'node/%' is for viewing 1 specific node with id = %.

fellows!
I have a problem with report generation from my model using a Master Document defining a complex documentation. I believe some of you can help me solve the problem.
Facts:
I have a complex project consisting of several views and packages, inluding domain model, use case model, business process model, etc.
The model is stored in shared (database) repository along with other projects.
I have created custom templates, TOC, cover page and stylesheets for the documentation.
I have created a Master Document package with the main template assigned defining the main document I want to have generated.
I have created several Model Document elements in that package to define individual chapters of the document, assigning adequate templates and model packages to each of them.
I have successfully generated the desired documentation.
I am using Enterprise Architect version 11.0.1107
Problem 1:
I would like to have generated several variants of the same documentation. Thus, I need to change the settings of the generation process like the options, exclude filters and element filters.
However, the settings is not remembered after the generation and I have to set all the settings again when generating documentation on the Master Document package.
Is there a way to save the settings for the Master Document? I have found the Report Specification element, but it does not work as expected (see Problem 2).
Problem 2:
I have tried to use Report Specification element to save the settings for the report generation. I have created that element in the same package as the Master Document is located, and also inside of that Master Document package.
In both cases, when generating the documentation for the first time, EA asked me to select the package. I selected the Master Document package and confirmed the generation. However, the generated document is empty as it clearly does not take the Model Document elements in the selected package into account.
Did I use the Report Specification incorectly? Should I use another package for the Report Specification element? Should I select another package when using the Report Specification for report generation?
Problem 3:
I tried to apply element filters and some other options to include only some of the elements in the report. Let's say I want only element with the version 1.1. So I set the filters to "version = 1.1" when generating the report from the Master Document package.
However, the report contained all elements, regardless their version. The same happened when I tried to exclude anonymous elements. Furthermore, for the next try the filter settings was lost again and I had to set it again before next generation (see Problem 1).
Where should I configure the filters? Should it be set when generating using the Master Document package? Should it be set somewhere for the Model Document elements? Should it be set in the templates (thus making them very specific rather than general)? In such case, should it be set for the model template or for the individual fragments?
Summary:
If you have any tips for combination of Master Document and Report Specification, as well as using the element filters when generating from the Master Document, I would be very grateful.
We do'nt use Report Specification element, but we store specific options into Resource Document. Use [Resource Document] button on Generate Documentation dialog. This specification is stored between Resources (see Resources Window) under Document Generation -> Defined Documents.I hope this solves problem 1 and 2
Problem 3 - EA has more ways, how select elements for generation, unfortunatelly you can't combine them (as far as I know). I would try to define custom find filter and use it.
As the title suggests my question is pretty simple.
Is there a way to count the total number of active module instances of a specific type/kind in Joomla (with a specific module name)?
I know how to count modules in a specific module position using JModuleHelper::getModules, but that is not what I want.
I simply need to count all active modules instances of a specific type/kind.
Does anyone know how to do this (without having to do a manual MySQL query)?
I do not know if there is an official joomla way, but you can do it by having an sql query looking at
#__modules
table.
Check out this table and you will find out how easy it is.
An example sql would be:
select count(id) from #__modules where module = 'mod_login'
As far as i know there is no joomla method for this. I would recommend (if it has to be done) either
using a crawler to go through all pages of the site counting the instances.
or using a script which goes through the template php files and the database to find all active instances.
Both these methods might not be 100% reliable due to unexpected circumstances (like module being included in article or module included only after a button is clicked on) but could work if you know your site well enough.
Unfortunately there does not seem to be such a function in Joomla.
In my case I needed this to tell me whether or not a instances of this module was > 0 or not.. and my alternative solution was to simply make a module-specific function and then in the module php file check if function is already loaded.
This question has probably been the most covered question in all of DotNetNuke's lifetime but I'm going to ask it here in StackOverflow because I need an answer, a really good one that doesn't make me look the other way. Thanks in advance to all DNN experts.
I've researched many ways of making this work for me and i've seen Michael Washington's solutions (Panels, MultiViews, ...) and Will's (Strohl) blog post on DotNetNuke's personalization engine through setting SkinSrc which is useful, as well as reading through Default.aspx's code which has given me more insight, however, i'm still faced with the problem that calling EditUrl()/NavigateUrl() brings me to a page with a single module in admin skin or a page with nothing respectively.
The specific version is DotNetNuke 6.0.1 (DNN). This Module has 4 other views in addition to the main view which I desire to navigate through sequentially. e.g.
Begin Checkout -> Collection of Delivery Details -> Confim Order
Have you found a solution?
I want to achieve
1) Module loads with other modules around. No module isolation
2) Views in a module that don't Preload e.g. Page_Load in each view gets called when the Module loads up
Help!
Assuming you are asking this as the module developer, the solution is to not use DNN's mechanism for specifying a control. So, you can't use EditUrl or specify the ControlKey in the NavigateURL call (which both generate "ctl=mycontrol" in the URL). Instead you need to have your module display your various controls based on the Query String parameters. So, you'll generally have a control in your module who's primary purpose is to dynamically load other controls based on the query string. So, for instance:
You will start with your control that lists items. You'll have a "Buy Now" button for each item. The hyperlink for each item can be generated by calling
NavigateURL(TabID, "", "View=BeginCheckout", "itemid=" & id, "mid=" & mid)
2.) On the page load of the handler control, it looks to see if anything is specified for the "View" Querystring parameter. If not it displays the listing control, if so, it displays the corresponding control.
Dim controlPath As String
Dim path as String = "~/DesktopModules/MyModule/Controls"
Select Case Request("View")
Case "BeginCheckout"
ControlPath = path + "BeginCheckout.ascx"
Case "DeliveryDetails"
ControlPath = path + "DeliveryDetails.ascx"
Case "ConfirmOrder"
ControlPath = path + "ConfirmOrder.ascx"
Case Else
ControlPath = path + "ItemList.aspx"
End Select
If System.IO.File.Exists(Request.MapPath(controlPath)) Then
placeholder.LoadControl(controlPath)
Else
Throw New Exception("Unable to load selected template. Please go into module settings and select a list and details template.")
End If
Most of the advanced modules for DNN do something along these lines so there's plenty of sample code out there. I would guess some of the core modules do something similar. I adapted the code above from Efficon's Articles module for DotNetNuke.
I need to retrieve a list of Active Directory users and their attributes using Delphi 2010.
I've seen a few similar questions on SO (e.g. Delphi - Find primary email address for an Active Directory user), but they all seem to require the user name before any additional information can be retrieved.
I had written an article for [The Delphi Magazine] way back when..... if you have access to a backlog of those magazines, it's in issue no. 62 (October 2000) - unfortunately, it seems those back issues aren't available for purchase anymore :-(
It's too long of an article and a code sample to post here.... basically it's about wrapping the IDirectorySearch interface in a nicer Delphi-like shell. You pass in a base container where to search, you define an LDAP filter, and you define a set of attributes you're interested in - then you search and get back basically an enumerator for the results, which you can get one by one.
In the end, I discovered TJvObjectPickerDialog, part of JVCL. It wraps the Windows Select Object dialog and does everything I need with very little coding. Just set the required properties and call execute. The selected user objects are returned along with the attributes that you set in the 'Attributes' property.
Currently I am facing the following problem:
A website, which I have to make for a company, has different locations. But the content of a few pages is for all locations the same. Now I have created a global folder with the items for all the locations. But now I am facing the following problem: when accessing the global items from the website of a specific location I get the global url. But what I want is that the specific location url remains the same structure, for example:
Now it is www.url.com/global/subfolder/itemname
And what I want is www.url.com/location1/subfolder/itemname
Does anybody have any solution(s)/suggestion(s) for this problem?
Does anybody also have a solution for creating a menu to insert these global items but also to insert the location specific items?
Some more information about my Sitecore content structure
Global: contains the global items for alle locations
Corporate: the corporate website of the company
Location1: the website of location1
Location2: the website of location2
Adam Weber was right, cloning is your best solution:
Create your Global section, with all the child items you need
For each of your local sections, clone the global section and place it where you'd like it to appear within your local menu
If I understand you correctly, this is what I'd do. It might not be the prettiest solution. But it'll work.
You have your "data" items in /global/subfolder/itemname
then just create some templates, which are "dummy" pages, that only contain a link to the global item (and perhaps the few fields that could differ (perhaps contact email for the specifik location).
Then you make a sublayout that bascially jsut gets the referenced item and uses that instead of Sitecore.Context.Item.
Then create an instance of the "dummy" template in /location1/subfolder/itemname and reference it to /global/subfolder/itemname
That way you URLs will be correct and the data will be the same.
Another and probably smarter solution (if you have enabled proxies) is to create a proxy that takes
/global/subfolder/itemname as source and points to /location1/subfolder/ as target (or you could take /global/subfolder and check "include children".
Here is a Guide on how to use proxies in 5.3:
