I am using Sitecore GeoIp service to get the user country. When I am loading the page first time it is returing country = "N/A". But when I reload the page, it returns the correct country.
I am using following code to get the country.
var ipAddress = x.x.x.x;
var geoIpOptions = new GeoIpOptions
{
Ip = ipAddress,
MillisecondsTimeout = 1000,
Id = GeoIpManager.IpHashProvider.ComputeGuid(ipaddress)
};
var geoIpResult = GeoIpManager.GetGeoIpData(geoIpOptions);
string country = geoIpResult.GeoIpData.Country;
Please let me know if I am missing something to get the correct country on first load itself.
Thanks,
Alok...
Sitecore does not wait until the information has been obtained from the GeoIP service in case the response takes a long time. In order to force it to wait on the first request, you can install one of the packages mentioned in this kb article: https://kb.sitecore.net/articles/320734
I have tested this in a production implementation and it works well.

I'm injecting a Elm feature to an existing page written by PHP.
The data responded from server for an item has url : "this-is-detail-link.html" and I need to get the host name to concat with the url.
For example:
case Msg of
GoToDetailPage item ->
let
hostname = getHostNameFromElm // <- how can I get this?
// expected: http://example.com/this-is-detail-link.html
fullUrl =
Url.Builder.crossOrigin hostname item.url []
cmd =
Browser.Navigation.load fullUrl
in
(model, cmd)
I am using Browser.element
main =
Browser.element
{ init = init
, view = view
, update = update
, subscriptions = subscriptions
}
Try to search but not what I expect. It requires to use Browser.application, not a part like this.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance!
I've seen that you already solved it, but remember that you can always use Javascript through ports.
Here is an example app using ports to get the origin, please not that because Ellie renders inside an iFrame, I couldn't get the hostname directly. You just need to change to window.location.hostname.

We have a requirement to get the printer IP Address configured in the default printer driver in Control Panel in our UWP app.
I was able to retrieve the "System.DeviceInterface.PrinterPortName" by fetching interface class GUID and passing this above property for retrieval.
But I couldn't get "System.Devices.IpAddress" similarly.
Code pasted below for PortName.
I badly need the IP address as the port name is user's choice and could be modified to any name removing the IP address.
Kindly help sharing working code to retrieve the IP Address using above property or any other way in UWP app.
Below is Working Code for Port Name, Kindly help to fetch IP Address of the same port similarly.
string aqsFilter = "System.Devices.InterfaceClassGuid:=\"{0ecef634-6ef0-472a-8085-5ad023ecbccd}\"";
string[] propertiesToRetrieve = new string[] { "System.DeviceInterface.PrinterPortName"};
DeviceInformationCollection deviceInfoCollection = await DeviceInformation.FindAllAsync(aqsFilter, propertiesToRetrieve);
foreach (DeviceInformation deviceInfo in deviceInfoCollection)
{
if (deviceInfo.IsDefault == true)
{
string strPortName = (string)deviceInfo.Properties["System.DeviceInterface.PrinterPortName"];
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(strPortName))
{
strPortName = await ParsePortName(strPortName);
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(strPortName))
{
_strIPAddress = strPortName;
}
}
break;
}
}
This is not endorsed because the IP address can change and so it is unreliable.
That being said, if your printer is installed using wsd, it is technically supported
E.g.,
DEVPKEY_PNPX_IpAddress DEVPROP_TYPE_STRING_LIST 32 "10.137.192.202"
But there is no way to reliably use this without a lot of various scenario checks since the IP address may change.
Furthermore, looking at this example, you are not hitting the DAF providers but looking for devices. You are using 0ecef634-6ef0-472a-8085-5ad023ecbccd which is the printer class guid. It also does not look like IP address is propagated in the PnP Explorer property bag so the IP address is not accessible.
I'm writing an application for Twinfield. I login to an account with 4 administrations in it. I would like to retrieve all information belonging to not payed invoices.
With the search opttion I get al open invoices for a certain office.
string[][] finderOptions = new string[2][];
switch (office)
{
case 0:
finderOptions[0] = new string[] { "office", "xxxx01-01" };
break;
case 1:
finderOptions[0] = new string[] { "office", "xxxx03-01" };
break;
}
finderOptions[1] = new string[] { "dim1", "1300" };
TwinfieldFinder.MessageOfErrorCodes[] errorCodes = xmlFinder.Search(hdrXml, "IVT", "*", 0, 1, 0, finderOptions, out findResult);
This works. But it retuns the invoicenumber and I also need the transaction number. Therefore I perform a Browse to find the traansaction number.
Maybe there is another way to find the complete transaction using the invoicenumber iso the transactionnumber?
The Browse call looks like this:
TwinfieldProcessXml.ProcessXmlSoapClient xmlClient = new
TwinfieldProcessXml.ProcessXmlSoapClient("ProcessXmlSoap", cluster + "/webservices/processxml.asmx?wsdl");
TwinfieldProcessXml.Header hdrXml2 = new TwinfieldProcessXml.Header();
hdrXml2.CompanyCode = finderOptions[0][1];
hdrXml2.AnyAttr = hdr.AnyAttr;
hdrXml2.SessionID = hdr.SessionID;
It doens't matter if I user the CompanyCode in the headers It alwasy return the informatie belonging to the first office: xxxx01-01.
When using the browse codes in Twinfield, make sure to do the SoapCall to select the right company, as documented there:
https://c3.twinfield.com/webservices/documentation/#/FAQ
Otherwise you will get the data back for the default company:
Q. When using the Browse Data functionality, in the response I get data from a different company. What is wrong?
A. In the browse data request there is no option to set the current company. Before sending the request, make sure the correct company is set by using the SelectCompany function. See also Web Services Authentication.
To get the open invoices the best way is to use the browse codes. Select code 100 and add a filter on the column matchstatus, here is an example:

I am using Tweetinvi for posting images to Twitter.
From our App servers its working fine to post to Twitter.
But, When tried from our load balancer getting this error -
Error:The credentials are required as the URL does not contain the
credentials identifier.
Stack Trace: at Tweetinvi.AuthFlow.CreateCredentialsFromVerifierCode(String
verifierCode, String authorizationId, IAuthenticationContext
authContext)
My code snippet is like this -
var verifierCode = Request.Params.Get("oauth_verifier");
var authorizationId = Request.Params.Get("authorization_id");
var userCreds = AuthFlow.CreateCredentialsFromVerifierCode(verifierCode, authorizationId);
I see these parameters(oauth_verifier, authorization_id,..) being passed to the callback page. But still seeing the above error in the call back page.
Note: this issue is only when I try posting to Twitter on our loadbalancer (using the individual servers working fine).
Should I use a different overloaded function?
So the problem comes from the fact that you are actually using a load balancer. But let me explain how the authentication works and how you can solve your problem.
var appCredentials = new ConsumerCredentials("", "");
var authContext = AuthFlow.InitAuthentication(appCredentials, "");
When you call AuthFlow.InitAuthentication, it returns an IAuthenticationContext. This context contains all the information required to process the callback from Twitter.
But in addition to this, Tweetinvi adds a parameter authorization_id to the callback so that it can map the callback request to an actual IAuthenticationContext.
var authorizationId = Request.Params.Get("authorization_id");
var userCreds = AuthFlow.CreateCredentialsFromVerifierCode(verifierCode, authorizationId);
When you call AuthFlow.CreateCredentialsFromVerifierCode with an authorization_id as a parameter it will look into the local dictionary and try to get the IAuthenticationContext.
Because you are using a load balancer, the server executing the AuthFlow.InitAuthentication can be different from the server your receiving the callback request.
Because your callback arrives at a different server, it actually result in the AuthenticationContext being null.
This is what I tried to explain in the documentation.
How to solve this?
What you need to do is to store the IAuthenticationContext information required for the CreateCredentialsFromVerifierCode to continue its work when it receives the callback. I would suggest you store this in your database.
When you receive your callback you will have to get back these information from your db. To do that I would suggest that when you initally call the `` you add to the callback url a parameter with the value storing the authentication id in your database (e.g. my_auth_db_id=42).
var authContext = AuthFlow.InitAuthentication(appCredentials, "http://mywebsite.com?my_auth_db_id=42");
When your callback arrives you will be able to do :
var myDBAuthId = Request.Params.Get("my_auth_db_id");
With this value you can now create a new token with the required information (stored in the db).
var token = new AuthenticationToken()
{
AuthorizationKey = "<from_db>",
AuthorizationSecret = "<from_db>",
ConsumerCredentials = creds
};
Now you are ready to complete the operation:
var userCreds = AuthFlow.CreateCredentialsFromVerifierCode(verifierCode, token );
I realize this is a big post, but I wanted to explain how it works.
Please let me know if anything does not makes sense.
I'm trying to get the followers for a user that has authenticated through my meteorjs app. I have used the {{loginButtons}} template and have found where the users tokens are. However I now have to create my authorized request by hand and I was hoping this'd be easy. But it's really hard and I feel like I'm wasting time with trying to figure out a way to create the oauth_signature..
Any help is welcome!
Supposing it is Twitter you're talking about I might be able to help you out.
I just managed to do the same thing as you want to do.
This nice piece of code provides a client to the Twitter API: https://github.com/mynetx/codebird-js
Personally I have placed it in the server-folder in my app to avoid exposure of keys etc.
As the codebird-js code take use of XMLHttpRequests and node.js do not come with such functionality by default - at least in a meteor.js context - you have to add the XHR-functionality yourself.
This NPM did it for me: https://npmjs.org/package/xmlhttprequest
However, as you can not deploy your meteor app with additional npm packages I found this solution How can I deploy node modules in a Meteor app on meteor.com? that suggests placing it in the public folder.
Finally I added those lines of code in the codebird-js just below the line that says
var Codebird = function () {
var require = __meteor_bootstrap__.require;
var path = require('path');
var fs = require('fs');
var base = path.resolve('.');
var isBundle = fs.existsSync(base + '/bundle');
var modulePath = base + (isBundle ? '/bundle/static' : '/public') + '/node_modules';
var XMLHttpRequest = require(modulePath + '/xmlhttprequest').XMLHttpRequest;
Finally you have to provide your tokens generated at dev.twitter.com and find your user's tokens stored in the Users collection.
EDIT:
Whenenver you have the above you make a new Codebird object: var bird = new Codebird();
Then you set tokens:
bird.setToken(USER_ACCESS_TOKEN, USER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET);
And makes the call:
bird.__call('friends/ids', {
screen_name': SCREEN_NAME,
user_id: TWITTER_ID
},
function(reply){
console.log(reply);
});
Note that USER_ACCESS_TOKEN, USER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET, USER_NAME & TWITTER_ID in the above example are placeholders. They are all found in the Meteor Users collection.
