Forum Post: RE: List Avatars - endpoint?

Patrick Mason — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:14:00 GMT

So the reality is we don't provide a method to retrieve those avatars via either API. Now we do have an enhancement on the books to be able to update an avatar both via REST and via In-Process Api which I will see if can get some attention for an upcoming version (no promises :) ). Selectable Avatar retrieval I am a little on the fence. I am thinking maybe adding a CFS LIst method might be a more universal approach that I will pass along internally for thoughts.

Forum Post: Mirrored Feeds (RSS) - changed feed item not updating blog post.

Aaron Cope — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:22:00 GMT

In prototyping this solution, we noticed that if we change an underlying feed item's properties, Telligent does not update the blog post with those properties. Is this by design?

If we need to change the external URL (mapped to blog post's TitleUrl), do we have to change the feed item URL, delete the blog post and then wait for the new feed item to be picked up?

It is pulled from the Current User (CSContext.Current.User). Current user can be set a couple different ways. When using REST (via AJAX) while on-site and already authenticated it will be populated from whatever authentication method used by the site. If using REST off-site or programatically it will be populated by the appkey & username (or the username being impersonated) that is set when building the REST request.

sthaynes,

Unfortunately, there is not a way to do this through the supported platform API. We will take this as a feature request to expose subscriptions through the platform API. Thank you.

Forum Post: RE: Adding post click event to 'j.telligent.evolution.widgets.blogPostList.rating'

Michael Monteleone — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:00:00 GMT

Patrick, I would suggest adding a call to your callback within the callback passed to the evolutionStarRating jQuery Plugin.

So, for example, on line 75 of the BlogPost widget's ui.js, a callback is passed for handling the 'onRate' event in the evolutionStarRating. You could add a call to your code within that callback. Alternatively, if you wanted to ensure your function is only called after a successful rating has completed, you could add your call within ratePost's ajax request's success handler at line 51.

As it turns out, after adding the checkbox to the edit widget I was able to do the following in the save function of ui.js:

data.MyCheckbox = document.getElementById('myCheckbox').checked

and then I can access it in the Request.Form vars inside of the CS Module! :)

Forum Post: RE: Pattern for glowPatternedTextBox

Ben Tiedt — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:19:00 GMT

I've updated the documentation to include more detail on the pattern configuration property:

The pattern to use for the text box. Two types of pattern definitions are supported (any text between a pattern definition is considered static and uneditable):

Numeric range pattern: <X-Y> where X and Y are integers. Any value between X and Y (inclusive) is considered valid.
Selection range pattern: <Value1,Value2,Value3,Value4,Value5> where any defined textual value is considered valid.
Examples:
- Date: <Jan,Feb,Mar,Apr,May,Jun,Jul,Aug,Sep,Oct,Nov,Dec> <1-31>, <1900-3000>
  - Time: <1-12>:<00-59> <AM,PM>
  - Unit: <0-1600> <px,pt,%,pc,in,mm,cm,em,ex>
  - Short-hand Date: <01-12>/<01-31>/<1900-3000>

Forum Post: RE: What is the best way to share assets between widgets?

Patrick Mason — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:59:00 GMT

There really is no easy way of doing this and it really goes against the principle that a widget should be self-contained and not dependent on other widgets(with the exception of group editable widgets).

The best approach is to always keep javascript a widget depends on with the widget itself, however if you need many widgets to reference a global file then you should import that file as a supplementary file in the theme.

Subject: [Telligent Evolution Platform Discussion] What is the best way to share assets between widgets?

I'm sure this is a simple question and I am just missing the answer somewhere in the documentation.

I am trying to figure out a way to share a javascript file between multiple widgets without editing a master page or something similar.

I have a visual studio solution set up following the guidlines at http://telligent.com/community/developers/w/developer6/creating-a-factory-default-widgets-plugin.aspx

I am going to have about 20+ widgets that are all going to lean on the same js file.

Right now, if I come up with a new version of that file I will need to move it into the asset folder for each widget. While I can automate that as a post-build task, I am trying to see if there is a way to tell one widget to grab another widget's assets OR if there is way via the API/Theming to register a custom JS file.

alex, yeah that makes sense. i tried it that way and also using an iframe. it's pretty slow and i can imagine it getting worse and presenting an awful user experience when i have 6-7 of these on one telligent page. i suppose i'll just recreate these identical components as telligent widgets.

you agree?
