New font for formatted memo?

Tue, 29 Sep 2020 09:20:47 +0000

Hello,

Is it possible to add a font to the list of fonts when editing a formatted memo (in the task module for example)?

And, in addition, make this the default font?

Environment is 11.3.

UPDATE: I found that this modification can be made in the ckeditor.config.js file, but i'm not sure how we can override this in custom.

Thank you,

Ken

ODBC Questionmarks on import

Thu, 10 Oct 2019 14:45:28 +0000

Hi all,

We're trying this with an 11.2 customer: Chinese characters in odbc datasynchro There is still text being replaced by question marks (?). Propably because of some Eastern European letters. Is there a way to get these right? We tried OEM, ANSI and 65001 as characterset in the schema.ini but to no avail.

Best regards,
Rob

Datasynchro cuts string after 510 characters

Mon, 22 Apr 2019 15:55:59 +0000

Hello,

I'm having an issue with importing a text into the memo field for the company module.
I've successfully imported a list of contacts but importing another file containing company data poses a problem.

The string in the excel file destined for the memo field is cut after 510 characters. I have tried changing the format to text, general, ... Also tried using datasynchro 32-bit and 64-bit, saving as xls and xlsx, ... Unfortunately nothing works.

I can't find why the string is cut off. Does anyone have experience with this?
Normally, i try to use the csv format but as the memo contains new lines i didn't think it was useful.

Thanks in advance.

Add Chinese characters with Datasynchro (ODBC limitation)

Tue, 02 Apr 2019 10:42:23 +0000

Hi everyone,

After some discussion we used the following to make the Chinese characters works with an ODBC driver during a Datasynchro.

First I had to transform the Chinese characters in HTML entities with a small Power Shell Script (.ps1).
custom: It takes the name of the folder without .csv and with a trailing TBE (to be encoded)

Add-Type -AssemblyName System.Web
## Import each line of the CSV file into an array of PowerShell objects
$file = $args[0]
$output = $file.Substring(0,$file.Length-3)
$records = Import-Csv -Path "$file.csv" -Delimiter ";"

## Encode each field in html entities
$records | ForEach-Object {
    foreach ($field in $_.PSObject.Properties.Name)
    {
        ##$_.$field = [System.Web.HttpUtility]::UrlDecode($_.$field)
$_.$field = [uri]::EscapeUriString($_.$field)
    }
}

## Export the array of modified objects to the CSV file
$records | Export-Csv -Path "$output.csv" -Force -notype -Delimiter ";"

## Display the object in tabular form
$records | Format-Table -AutoSize

Then decode it during the Import script with following function
" decodeURIComponent() ".
For the newer version of the datasynchro (>10sp2) the fields can be decoded directly in the start job.

And it worked !

Thanks to Alexandre and Kristof.

Date format from datepicker when running a query not correct

Mon, 25 Feb 2019 17:27:31 +0000

Hello,

A client with efficy 11.0.15626 is having a problem with their queries.

When launching a query the user must define a date as parameter. The datepicker formats the date with "-" as seperator but if this is used efficy returns an error. This should be "/".

(Bad Date Format in Query Parameter: '02-01-2019' is not a valid floating point value)

The date seperator hasn't been overridden is custom.js

What can be done about this? Any other settings?

DataSynchro and Date Format.

Mon, 17 Dec 2018 08:47:46 +0000

Hi All,

I would like to know which date format is used by DataSynchro/DataSynchroEmbedded.
- Efficy Admin Console Date Format
- Windows Date Format

I've made a few test and it seems that we need to use the windows date format but, why ?
is that true ?

If yes it seems that we need to know the windows server config, and we also need to use different code for using in datasynchro and in serverscript.

Can you confirm ?

(i'm on an Efficy 2014 6100)

Regards,

US Date format is not applied in IE

Wed, 24 Jan 2018 11:10:21 +0000

Hello,

A client has US date format "MM/DD/YYYY" set to be used in Efficy. it's working perftectly on Firefox and Chrome (if user add timestamp to memo the dates is formatted well), bu on IE it's showing DD/MM/YYYY. The regional settings on the user's PC is european format (DD/MM/YYYY), so i believe that IE is reading the regional settings on PC and apply in Efficy, it doesn't consider the configuration set in admin console, is that correct? and is there a way to make IE apply the formatting set in admin console and not use the regional settings?

Thank you in advance for help and advises.

Best Regards.

Please advise, is it bug? can it be fixed by custom?

Thank you for your help in advance.
