Conditional Javascript not allowed??

stokuta — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 13:41:57 -0500

We have a very basic <script> tag placed in the content placed holder header of a custom aspx page. The javascript causes a text box to appear when a radio button is selected. However, the for loop (that parses selected radio button options) as well as the conditional (if/else) statement are NOT firing. When i developed the page on my local host before integrating it, it worked flawlessly (it's a simple function). However upon incorporating it into wcm......broken! i placed alerts all throughout the function to see where it's not firing and it refuses to execute the conditional or the loop. Is there something in wcm that must be enabled to allow conditionals? Is there something else I'm not aware of in WCM?? Any assitance is appreciated.

How quickly the computing world is changing

Here is a great visualization of how rapidly our technology is changing. These steep velocities speak volumes about how disruptive the rise of mobile devices has been, and is:

fxing your indexing service

Dave Charlton — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 13:41:28 -0500

If you don't see any events or products listed on your site, and your services are running, and apparently configured well, there is another thing to check.

go to you IndexServiceProtected folder, right-click, hit properties, and Advanced.

Make sure that "Allow files in this folder to have contents indexed in addition to file properties." is checked.

If you had deleted & recreated the folder, this may have become unchecked, and the indexing service won't see what's there.

Finding Data in the Database

Paul Bradshaw — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 17:04:38 -0500

It's sometime useful to search an entire database to find out where some specific data is... for instance, you entered data into the UI but you aren't sure where it got stored.

This post contains a SQL Script to search a database for any specific string in any column in any table in your database.

To use this script, simply edit the first line to set the @value variable to the string you wish to search for (see the comment). You can include "%" as the standard SQL Wildcard character. As is, the script will search for any string starting with "C:\" ... but you can use exact strings or any arbitrary string you wish.

Security Context Change 15.2

bswetnam — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 10:44:49 -0500

We have been using a security context in tha past with 15.1.3 to identify an individual as follows

string contactID = ((Asi.Security.AppPrincipal)Asi.Security.AppPrincipal.CurrentPrincipal).AppIdentity.ContactMaster;

I have since loaded the new 15.2 on a server and this context no longer works.

Dues payment selection checkboxes are checked and disabled in Web view

tombernard — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 12:51:54 -0400

The dues payment selection checkboxes are checked and disabled in the Contacts \ Contact managemennt \ Billing screen. Is there a way or a setting to enable these checkboxes so that when a member is paying only a specific dues payment, the rest can be un-checked?

The same is true in Public veiw.

Thanks,

Tip: How to import Excel spreadsheets into iMIS Community

Mary Connor — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 13:49:16 -0400

If you would like to bring in a spreadsheet as an editable table in iMIS Community, you can do so in a few steps:

In Excel, select and copy the range of rows and columns you want to bring over.
In iMIS Community, click the Paste from Word (clipboard + W) button on the editor toolstrip.
In the dialog that pops up, paste in your rows and columns and click OK.

That is the process for importing it. However, to make the table display correctly and be editable via the WYSIWYG options (such as to insert/delete rows), a bit more clean-up will get you there:

Adding Fields to Task Detail screen in Process Manager (Opportunity Module)

Zuzana_Kelyman — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 09:05:27 -0400

I am wondering if it is possible to add new properties to Tasks detail screen under Process Manager (Opportunity). We would like to add two new fields.

I tried to create a new BO that inherits from TaskItem BO and add fields but then there is no way to tell iMIS to use the new BO. It seems like it is all hardcoded.

I also tried to add those fields to TaskItem table and edit TaskItem BO to add those fields although I know that would be overwritten by the upgrade but that did't work either.

How to generate New and renewed CM members export report?

tkim — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 18:47:26 -0400

Our organization upload list of new and renewed corporate members to our website monthly and I'm trying to find a simple way to export these list to excel from iMIS. Is there iMIS built in report (crystal?) that shows new and renewed members? eg. all members who become new member by paying membership (from biling or on-line) in specific month and members who renewed in same month? We need to export report to excel file for web diretory update. Currently, I created two ad-hoc quaries; One using Join_Date (new member) field and renew with MT_CHANGE_DATE (member type change), but this search option is not accurate and doesn't pick up member when join_date value is missing...
Please advise me if you have better solution for this report. Thanks,
*We currently use iMIS V15.1.2

John Brotherton — Mon, 20 Jun 2011 12:59:13 -0400

I need your help. I have been tasked with a project of updating Address_1 and Address_2 in the Name_Address table. I found some script that will work but ran into a snag and need some help.

On a test table, I ran the following script to correct an address of 105 Drake Dr

UPDATE tempjohncross
SET Address_1=(
REPLACE (Address_1,
'Dr',
'Drive'));

The script fixed the record as 105 Driveake Drive

Business object designer error after creating object with wrong Properties.

Zuzana_Kelyman — Wed, 08 Jun 2011 17:09:34 -0400

Hello,

I have created a business object in BOD and somehow saved it with the wrong properties and published. Now when I try to open BOD from iMIS I am getting following server error:

---------------------------------------

Server Error in '/iMIS15' Application.

MaxLength applies to string data type only. You cannot set Column 'DecisionDate1' property MaxLength to be non-negative number.

Business Object only returns column names.

BWALKER — Tue, 07 Jun 2011 11:54:55 -0400

The SQL returns 3 rows and the rows shows an array of 4 rows including the field names.

Normally the ds would be filled with a data adapter.

private DataSet getCommitteeCodesObject(Guid transactionID, string credentials, string error)
{

                DataSet ds = null;
                Asi.iBO.ContentManagement.CWebUser user = null;
                try
                {

SOA bindings and 'rest' service

jskemp — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 10:09:51 -0400

A couple questions.

1) The SOA services are setup by default with a netTcp binding. I noticed right away the configuration changes they had made (amazingly high maximum lengths), and I'm wondering if there's a listing of other example bindings anywhere, say for SOAP connectivity.

(If not, I'm just going to continue with the plan of modifying a base configuration, which I assume will be fine, but having worked with iMIS ...)
