Teechart Data Editing disable - activex

Can anyone let me know how we can restrict the user to change the data for for series or whether we can disable it.
Thanks
Akshay

Given such a generic answer and not knowing the nature of your applications we can't provide a specific answer. However, as a general rule of thumb, don't grant users access to the chart editor nor any functionality that would allow them to use data.
Also, this has been implemented for next TeeChart VCL/FMX release: http://bugs.teechart.net/show_bug.cgi?id=484#c1
This hasn't been implemented for the ActiveX version though now, build 2014.0.0.1 from 19th June. We will add it for the next maintenance release. It should be something like this:
TeeEditor1.Options.DataEditing = False
Other Current alternatives are:
You can use the ChartGrid component and set it to read-only: ChartGrid1.ReadOnly = True
Hiding Data tab in TeeEditor: TeeEditor1.ShowPages.SeriesData = False

Set the Visitor ID in Adobe Analytics through DTM

I'm trying to set the Visitor ID in Adobe Analytics through DTM.
Above the s_code I have:
var visitor = new Visitor("xxxx")
visitor.trackingServer = "xxx.xx.xx.omtrdc.net"
I've created a data element where the legacy code used to call the
Visitor.getInstance("xxxx");
and set the Visitor ID to %Visitor ID%
That's not working however, and my visitor ID is always just set to %Visitor ID% and obviously not reading any values. I'd really appreciate any input that someone can give me.
Thanks,
Mike
The Visitor ID pops s.visitorID and is in general related to visitor id, but is not the same as s.visitor which is what gets popped for the VisitorAPI integration. DTM does not currently have a built-in field for the s.visitor variable, so you will have to set it yourself within the config, either in the Library Management code editor (assuming you are opting to c/p the core lib and not the "Managed by Adobe" option) or else in the Custom Page Code section.
Since you are popping it in a data layer first, you can reference the data layer like this:
s.visitor = _satellite.getVar('Visitor ID');
NOTE: A separate potential issue you may have is with whether or not the Visitor object is available for your data element. Since data elements are the first thing to be evaluated by DTM, you will need to ensure that the VisitorAPI.js library is output before your top page DTM script include.
If this is a problem for you, or if you are wanting to host VisitorAPI.js within DTM, then you may need to adjust where you are popping that stuff. For example, place the VisitorAPI core code above the custom code as the first stuff within the data element, before:
var visitor = new Visitor("xxxx") visitor.trackingServer = "xxx.xx.xx.omtrdc.net
Or, don't use the data element at all. Instead, put the VisitorAPI code within the Adobe Analytics custom code or core lib section and pop all that stuff (aboove the s.visitor assignment). Or a number of other methods; point is, VisitorAPI stuff must be loaded before the data element can make use of it, same as it must be loaded before Adobe Analytics can make use of it.
So DTM is changing pretty fast and furious right now. They have a "Marketing Cloud Service ID" that works well. Before I used that, however, I did find a way to fix the code. Crayon Violent was right, as usual, that the problem was that the script wasn't available yet. I fixed this by putting the following code in between the VisitorAPI.js and the AppMeasurement stuff in the DTM managed library.
var aA = new AppMeasurement();
aA.visitorNamespace="companyname";
aA.visitor = Visitor.getInstance("companyname");
In addition, there were also some issues using my localhost for testing while trying to see if I had this correct or not. If you are having issues and think you have it correct, it may be worthwhile to elevate it to a different environment.

Displaying how often an issue has been reopen in JIRA

I'm currently running a fairly out-of-the-box JIRA setup that is live and being used.
Now I'm at a point where I would like a custom field in each bug that will display the total amount of times and issue/bug has been reopened.
There is a plugin (https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/19665/how-to-count-based-on-status-jira) that does something similar, however, I am looking for a solution that doesn't require purchasing a third-party plugin (OPS doesn't like plugins).
I've searched forums high and low and was unable to even find a good starting point. Your help is always appreciated. Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Current JIRA version: 5.2
Create a custom field for counting the times an issue was opened, and set it's default value to one. Then use the Behaviours Plugin to add validation script to the transitions you wish to count. In the validation script, increment the custom field and return true. should be something like:
FormField formComponent = getFieldById(fieldChanged)
FormField formUserField = getFieldByName("UserFieldA"
formUserField.setFormValue(Integer.valueOf(formUserField.getFormValue()) + 1)
If you're having trouble coding that have a look here or ask here.
An easier way would be to attack a post-function to the re-open transition using
Jira Scripting Suite and use it to increment the field, but it doesn't support Jira 5.2 yet.
If you don't want to use any plugins, you can use Webhooks attached to the re-open workflow transition that will post to an URL , which in turn, will connect back using the REST API and increment that field.
A Custom field holds some information (metric, counter, misc. info, etc.) but it is not logic by itself. So the problem here is that in order to increment a (custom) field you will have to have some logic doing that. So you're left with three options:
Use the plugin you're talking about
Custom-build a plugin for this
Use a custom-built external application utilizing the REST API that polls for changes on issues and when it detects "Reopenings" and increments the custom field's value.
Manually assign this field (not really an option)
So at the end there aren't that many options that do not require resouces - development or purchasing some plugin. Usually it's best to buy a plugin because you're also buying support with that. However beware that if the plugin is not developed by Atlassian there is the possibility that it may not support future JIRA versions or it may not be compatible right after a new JIRA version release.
My solution is to add the post-function to the 'Reopen' transition with the following code (it assumes you have Script Runner plugin installed and enabled; also you have to add custom field 'Reopen count' to the corresponding view screen):
import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
def componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance()
def customFieldManager = componentManager.getCustomFieldManager()
def reopenCount = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == 'Reopen count'}
def changeHolder = new DefaultIssueChangeHolder();
def reopenCountValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(reopenCount)
if(reopenCountValue == null) reopenCountValue = 0.0d
reopenCount.updateValue(
null,
issue,
new ModifiedValue(
reopenCountValue,
++reopenCountValue
),
changeHolder
);

Amending Translation Values in CRM 2011 Outside of the Translation Files

I have received a requirement to amend the translations of the 'Add new..' and 'Add existing..' buttons in French. A typical default button is shown below:
The desired new translations are essentially to remove the gender neutrality (if my rather poor school French is correct!). So rather than 'Ajouter un(e)' we have 'Ajouter un'.
Unfortunately these button labels are not included in the standard translations file (Settings -> Customisations -> Export Translations).
Are there any other options available? Given the nature of the requirement, I am happy to consider pretty much any kind of hack. CRM must be generating these values from somewhere, any ideas where they are hidden?
Note: I profoundly disagree with this requirement for fairly obvious reasons and I am sure most people reading this question will as well. However, requirements are what they are and sometimes customers/clients just will not budge. This is one of those cases.
You can define the labels for CRM Ribbon controls. See Use Localized Labels with Ribbons.
In order to make this work, you need to export the ribbon definitions and identify where these controls are defined.
You should be able to define a CustomAction to override the definition of the existing control but include the label text you want to have instead of the default label text. See Define Custom Actions to Modify the Ribbon.
If you are already experienced with customizing the ribbon this shouldn't be too hard, but there is a signifcant learning curve when it comes to customizing the ribbon.

auto_complete_for: prevent the first item from being auto-selected

The auto_complete_for dealio from script.aculo.us is great an all, but is there a way for me to selectively disable the fact that it always auto-selects the first item in the list?
The problem is that, if I want to type my own entry that is new, and novel, I don't want the first item in the list to be auto-selected. The reason is because when I TAB out of the field, it selects, and fills the text box with that first item.
I got around that, somewhat, by making the first item in the list the same as what I'm typing, but that's not perfect either, because the auto_complete list doesn't always update with every keystroke, depending on how fast I type. I've tried setting the list refresh rate to the lowest value (1 millisecond) but no go.
What I really want is an option in "auto_complete_for" that doesn't select that first item at all - the same way that Google Instant doesn't automatically select the first suggested search phrase - you have to arrow-down to select one.
Maybe I can do this via an HTML option that I'm missing?
Looking at the source, there doesn't appear to be an option for that, but I bet if you changed line 284 of controls.js to this.index = -1; it would do what you want.
Otherwise, it might be time to look for a different autocomplete widget.
If your requirements are too far away from the available plugin, then I guess there is no point in tinkering around. Its best to write your own JS code.
You might want to consider this: https://github.com/laktek/jQuery-Smart-Auto-Complete
or this : https://github.com/reinh/jquery-autocomplete
I'll add another alternative that works great with Rails 3:
http://github.com/crowdint/rails3-jquery-autocomplete
I recently implemented auto complete for more than a field for Rails 2.0.2.
The plugin I used is:- https://github.com/david-kerins/auto_complete . Not sure if it supports Rails 3.
I have also encountered issues on implementing the above scenario and have posted questions( Implementing auto complete for more than one field in Rails ; Implementing a OnClick kind of functionality and formatting wrt Rails Partial-Views ) on stackoverflow for the same, I have been lucky on getting things working for me based on my requirement.
Kindly refer to these questions, they might have relevance to your requirement.

How to create a changelog?

I'm building a site that shows changes in deals that we have in our db. For example, if a deals status changes from pending to win, I want to show it, and if the value goes up or down, I want to show it, that kind of thing. Also, if you open the overview page, I want it to show the history of changes. So I need some kind of change logging, to be able to look in the past. How do I do this?
It is a rails project, but I think that's irrelevant.
I doubt there is any generic solution to this problem.
You can roll out your own. Start by considering all objects that need change logging. How many types are there? How often do you expect changes to occur? This will help you estimate the potential number of changes throughput you'll need to be dealing with. If there aren't too many, just stick them into database. If you are generating a lot, try storing to comma-separated-value file.
I have implemented a similar system before. I had 3 types of changes: 1) property value change, 2) adding of a value to a list, 3) removing value from a list.
I used the following format, stored in a log file:
//For type 1)
1,2011/01/01 00:00:00,MyObject,myProperty,oldValue,newValue
//For type 2)
2,2011/01/01 00:00:00,MyObject,myListProperty,addedValue
//For type 3)
3,2011/01/01 00:00:00,MyObject,myListProperty,removedValue
This captured most information I needed. The value parts were just some user-readable summary of the changed/added/removed property value.
Paper Trail Gem
Since you're on Rails, take a look at the PaperTrail gem. It does exactly what you're looking for and is beautifully built. You'll just need to add in a callback so that your overview page knows that a change occurred. But for the history of a model, just use the built-in PaperTrail functionality.
