AmCharts Pie Widget -> Link colors to values

Wed, 05 Oct 2022 07:03:29 +0000

When developing a amChart Pie chart,
we can set a theme or set of colors for the different slices of the pie.

currDash.pieSeries.colors.list = [
am4core.color("#e30211"), // red
am4core.color("#fce83a"), // geel
am4core.color("#3fab03"), // green
am4core.color("#225e01") // greener
];

Problem is here that the color is not linked to a specific value.
For exemple when you define 5 colors for 5 statusses, but only status 1 and 5 are present in the result, the color fot the 5th status will be the color of status 2.

How can we link the color to specific values in a PIE chart of amcharts in Efficy?

FormFieldEdit: display two decimals in edit

Mon, 04 Jul 2022 15:13:34 +0000

Sorry if the question have been asked before, but I could not find it in Overflow.

Question: I want to have two decimals in edit:
For example 2.8 ==> wanted display by the customer: 2.80 in edit.
(Show always two decimals, followed by an zero, even if it was rounded to one decimal)

This is what I tried:
(1e try) Efficy Designer:
Fieldname => "F_MILAGECOSTS"
Type => currency
Precision => 2
Screen Format => #.00

(2e try) FormFieldsEditCustom.txt definition:
field.CURRENCYB {[
<%GetEdit("$FIELD$", class="text-end", inputargs=|inputmode="numeric"|, precision=2)%>
]}

Does somebody have a solution for me?

display image when receiving email from extranet forgotten password

Fri, 01 Jul 2022 15:06:26 +0000

Hello,

I met a problem while I was trying to display a picture on the mail. It displayed like this :

I was able to solve this issue thanks to Stefan Vucinic who told me to encode the picture to base64.
example :

<img id="logoImg" src ="data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/7QAsUGhvdG9zaG9wIDMuMAA4QklNA+0AAAAAABABLAAAAAEAAQEsAAAAAQAB/+IMWElDQ19QUk9GSUxFAAEBAAAMSExpbm8CEAAAbW50clJHQiBYWVogB84AAgAJAAYAMQA....."/>

How to convert windows 1252 to UTF-8 ?

Fri, 10 Jun 2022 09:44:52 +0000

Hello,

I'm running into an issue regarding char encoding.

I'm making a Efficy.openUrlSecure(...) POST call to send JSON data to another system.
Data is from a Contact (name, firstname, email, ....) and my call is made in a afterCommit workflow. So all data is taken from database.

If I use a special char like "é" in sent data, the API send me an error :
Error 400. Response : Invalid UTF-8 middle byte 0x22 at...

Code used :

var toSend = JSON.stringify(data);
var headers = ["Content-Type: application/json;charset=utf-8", "Content-Length: " + toSend.length, "Host: xxx"];

var response = Efficy.openUrlSecure(url, toSend, headers.join("\n"), "POST");

After investigation, this error is caused by an invalid/illegal encoding (windows 1252 instead of UTF-8 which is standard for JSON).

When I check in detail what is sent, the request payload is in windows-1252.

Which brings it to my question : How can I convert my data in windows-1252 to UTF-8 without losing accentuated char ?

Users' groups resetting without user action

Thu, 09 Jun 2022 13:36:48 +0000

Hello,

I have a weird issue with users' groups for a client : They keep resetting to a "previous" version without any user interaction.

One user was setup on 7 different groups. After a workshop with the client on group rights, I saw they understood groups and rights backwards (ie : a manager does not need to be in every employee groups, they need to configure employee groups to give rights to the manager's group)

So they changed their groups and this user was now part of 4 different groups.

A few days later, this user was back with the same 7 different groups...

What I tried/checked :
- Changed this user groups back to 4 -> a few days later they were back
- Checked all custom for any request/projutils that could update ACCGROUPS/ACCOUNTS/... -> nothing
- Checked SYSCHANGED logs -> Addition to user groups are not logged so I added them (today)
- Compared latest modification date to log files -> Only process that "update" users is Exchange sync (cache issue ?)

If anyone encountered a similar issue or have an idea, I'd like to know more !

How to migrate correctly the new field ACTIONS.KIND replace ACTIONS.MODE and ACTIONS.NATURE?

Thu, 10 Feb 2022 15:04:53 +0000

Since Efficy 2021 (12.0) the new field ACTIONS.KIND appears and is replacing the ACTIONS.MODE and ACTIONS.NATURE fields.

For some customers this can be an issue when they use the ACTIONS.MODE and ACTIONS.NATURE extensively. In this case it is possible to display the old fields in the edit forms of TASKS and AGENDAS but this is not enough. You also need to override the following macros :

MacroConsultCustom.txt :

DetailGridColumns..Acti {[MENU,DONE,USERS,DBEGIN{EDIT},SUBJECT{EDIT},CONTACT,DURATION,MODE,NATURE,TAGS,PRIORITY{ABSENTHF},MEMODD]}
DetailGridColumns.Cont.Acti {[MENU,DONE,USERS,DBEGIN{EDIT},SUBJECT{EDIT},PROJECT,DURATION,MODE,NATURE,TAGS,PRIORITY{ABSENTHF},MEMODD]}
MacroSearchCustom.txt :

SearchResultColumns.Acti {[MENU,SUBJECT{NAMESEARCH},D_BEGIN{NAMESEARCH},MODE,NATURE,TAGS]}
MacroListCustom.txt :

ListGrid.Task {[<%GetTodoGrid(columndefs="GridColumns", entity="Acti", savekeylist="true", columns="MENU,DONE,USERS,R_PRIORITY{CENTER},D_BEGIN{ABSENT},SUBJECT{EDIT},CONTACT,COMPANY,PROJECT,MODE,NATURE,TAGS,D_DUE,MEMODD")%>
<%Macro("ListMenu")%>]}

Question1: If we want to keep the new KIND field, is there an easy way to update it from the old MODE/NATURE fields?

Question2: If we use the old MODE/NATURE fields, is there any impact with the Efficy Exchange Synchronization or when generating the iCal files, because in the previous version those fields where synchronized with Exchange (they were added in the subject of the action/agenda), today we don't know if it is the KIND field that is synchronized or the old MODE/NATURE fields?

Unable to see page without Full Access Rights

Fri, 30 Jul 2021 08:11:50 +0000

Hello all,

I have an issue with 12.0 where I cannot see some pages without the "Full Access (no security - NOT RECOMMENDED)" enabled.

But I still have the search available (see screenshot) :

As for rights :
- One group : Administrator
- Privileges : Administer Dashboards
- Table rights : everything for Dashboard, Widgets, ....

I have the same issue on 2 different 12.0 solutions, with the same settings.

Only way to access it is through the direct URL (solutionurl/crm/entitylist?entity=Dash&page=desktop/List&gridname=DashList&active=true&opened=true&recentlyused=true&rse=T) which is accessible because of table rights on my user.

Also, there is this related unanswered question where Support may have found a way :

How does work Efficy.impersonateUser(impersonateAccount, forceUserRole)

Thu, 10 Jun 2021 13:31:38 +0000

how is working this new option for remote in Efficy 12 Efficy.impersonateUser(impersonateAccount, forceUserRole)
Is it same as Efficy.forceUserRole(roleId) but not for remote ?

It's stricly only available on remote or can we use it with an Efficy scheduler ?
My goal is to be able to change user as owner when creating a record form script.
Does it really take the role and all securities rules on creation ?

I mean that if you check the impersonate option for user in designer you can use it as an impersonate. That is the right way to use it ?

Efficy 12: Macro new argument exclamation mark (!)

Mon, 07 Jun 2021 07:59:28 +0000

Dear All,

When working with Macro, I knew that we can add @GROUPNAME, for macro to be specific to certain user group, or #Entity for Macro to be accessible only if the user has the read right on the Entity.
Since Efficy 11 we can also use "$" in the Macro name in order to specify facultative argument (cf post here)

But in Efficy 12 I can also find the exclamation mark "!" in the Macro name and I would like to understand what is this "!" used for ?

I could not find anything in EDN: Macros and neither in the Release Note ... maybe I missed something since there is quite some information in the release note.

And I would also like to know if we combined the @, #, $ and ! special character, is there any order or rule we should respect?

Example where to find this kind of macro name in Efficy 12 standard code :
GridColumns.txt

td.TAGS! {[<td><#F=$FIELD$;MULTIVALUE=T;TABLEID=$TABLEID$;FIELDID=$FIELDID$;absent=T;context=TAG;templatetext=<div class="lookup-color-grid TAGS-$MVENTITY$-$MVKEY$"\>$VALUE$</div\>></td>]}

FormFieldsConsult.txt

field.BUDGET!.Oppo {[<dt class="i-currency"><%GetField("$FIELD$",format=",0.00",nospace=T,context=TEXT)%><%OnMulticurrency(0=, else=|<%OnField("CURRCY", else="&nbsp; <%Currency(currcy='%%GetField(`CURRCY`,nospace=T,context=TAG)', format='#S (#C)')%>")%>|)%></dt>]}

refresh GetGuestLabel in 12.0

Thu, 27 May 2021 15:49:50 +0000

Hello,

I tried to refresh my guest page labels in 12.0 and I used these methods:
- refresh from http://efficy120/public/guest?app=xxx&action=readregistry
- kill COM+
- refresh settings from console

the only method that works was to use recycle from IIS in application pools and to empty my browser cache.

Is there any simple way to refresh the guest label ?

/addmail different behavior of argument MAILTO in 12.0 vs 11.1

Wed, 17 Mar 2021 08:19:56 +0000

Hi,

I have used the web request /addmail (doc ref) with the argument mailto in project Efifcy 11.1. The mailto argument was filled with the email (string, not a number key) and when executing it I've got outlook opened with the given email in mailto argument.

addmail?page=dialog/SysMailEditExternal&external=true&mailclient=outlook&files=62197_0&bookmark=-1&fromentityname=Docu&fromentitykey=19010&fromentity=12&template=91&mailto=*Emails are not allowed*

Now, I am upgrading the client to Efficy 12.0 and I noticed that the mailto argument is no longer working as expected. Outlook shows (Inactive) instead of email (mailto value). But if I replace the mailto value with key number of Efficy user this one is filled up.

Any idea why /addmail behave differently in version 12.0 ?

How SYS_SETTINGS are migrated ?

Wed, 21 Oct 2020 06:43:36 +0000

Does anyone know if the SYS_SETTINGS entries are automatically (or not) updated during the Upgradedb.exe ?

Because I remarked that there is quite some new settings in “Common” and “Efficy” of Efficy 2021 entries like those :

For Common there are those new entries:
- signingPartner
- authentication
- synchronousEmail

For Efficy there are those new entries:
- invSettings
- disableMobileApp
- agendaIcalShareSelfOnly
- hideBirthYearAndAge

some entries moved place like the “oneAll” entry this one has been placed in the “authentication” entry
some have been renamed like “chat” entry which becomes “websocket”

etc…

"Field not found" (Only custom fields)

Wed, 24 Apr 2019 16:38:39 +0000

Hi,
I created a custom field in Prod_Oppo and when i try to get some information from it the debugger says that the field can not be found.

I tried to do the same with other functions and then it was possible to get the field, but not in the way how i want to do it.

Maybe a thing to keep in mind is that i created some custom fields and deleted them with same name. I don't know if this is the problem but it can be...

Also when i look at the database and the sys_fields everything looks fine.

Thanks in advance,
Bart
