I am using Localizations (messages) plugin to pull i18n definitions from the database rather than from the standard properties files in the i18n folder.
I am trying to use Localization plugin into my Service.groovy file. I am doing like this ..
import org.grails.plugins.localization.*
// some code.....
def body = message(code: "goal.auto.email.alert")
log.info("body : "+body)
When I check log, my body is showing null. I already added record with same code name into my Localization table. But it is not getting String message from the table. I am not able to figure out the problem. Please help. Thanks in advance.
Try the following code
class FirstService {
def messageSource
def test() {
...
def msg = messageSource.getMessage('localization.cache.hits', null, Locale.US)
...
}
}
See the blog.
As of my experience, I think message(code: "goal.auto.email.alert") will not work in Service. So I did this by using sql query ..
def body = sql.rows("SELECT TEXT FROM Localization WHERE CODE='goal.auto.email.alert'")
body = body.text[0]
And now it works for me :)

I'm working on a VTiger 6.4.0 Extension Module that is used to get company data when entering a company name in the Accounts module.
The module is almost finished, i retrieve data from a API and enter them in the input fields using JQuery.
But the problem is that i have some data that is not relative to the existing fields in the account information, so i'm trying to create some new custom fields.
Only i can't seem to figure out how to create a custom field for the Accounts module from within my Extension module.
I googled around and watched some posts on stackoverflow.
I came up with the following part of code, but this doesn't seem to work.
public function addKvkfield(){
$module = new Vtiger_Module();
$module->name = 'Accounts';
$module = $module->getInstance('Accounts');
$blockInstance = new Vtiger_Block();
$blockInstance->label = 'LBL_ACCOUNT_INFORMATION';
$blockInstance = $blockInstance->getInstance($blockInstance->label,$module);
$fieldInstance = new Vtiger_Field();
$fieldInstance->name = 'KvKNummer';
$fieldInstance->table = $module->basetable;
$fieldInstance->column = 'kvknummer';
$fieldInstance->columntype = 'VARCHAR(100)';
$fieldInstance->uitype = 2;
$fieldInstance->typeofdata = 'V~M';
$blockInstance->addField($fieldInstance);
}
The addKvkfield function is being called in the vtlib_handler module.postinstall (Couldn't find any information if this is the right way of doing this within a Extenstion Module)
vtlibhandler:
function vtlib_handler($modulename, $event_type) {
global $log;
if($event_type == 'module.postinstall') {
$this->addJSLinks();
$this->createConfigTable();
$this->addSettingsMenu();
$this->addKvkfield();
$this->updateLabels();
// TODO Handle post installation actions
} else if($event_type == 'module.disabled') {
// TODO Handle actions when this module is disabled.
} else if($event_type == 'module.enabled') {
// TODO Handle actions when this module is enabled.
} else if($event_type == 'module.preuninstall') {
// TODO Handle actions when this module is about to be deleted.
} else if($event_type == 'module.preupdate') {
// TODO Handle actions before this module is updated.
} else if($event_type == 'module.postupdate') {
$this->updateLabels();
// TODO Handle actions after this module is updated.
}
}
Hopefully someone can give me a push in the right direction.
Thanks in advance :)
I managed to succeed in creating the custom fields that i needed in the Accounts Module.
Thanks to the Vtiger Mailing List! :)
What did the trick was a small alteration of the code I've written:
public function addKvkfield(){
$module = Vtiger_Module::getInstance('Accounts');
$blockInstance = Vtiger_Block::getInstance('LBL_ACCOUNT_INFORMATION', $module);
$fieldInstance = new Vtiger_Field();
$fieldInstance->label = 'KvKNummer';
$fieldInstance->name = 'kvknummer';
$fieldInstance->column = $fieldInstance->name; // Good idea to keep name and columnname the same
$fieldInstance->columntype = 'VARCHAR(100)';
$fieldInstance->uitype = 1; // No need to use 2 anymore. Setting "M" below will introduce the Red asterisk
$fieldInstance->typeofdata = 'V~O';
$blockInstance->addField($fieldInstance);
}
The above code will create a (optional)Custom Field in the Account module.
If your writing a new module and never installed this module before you can just call the function in the vtlib_handler as i did in my question.
But in my case this did not work because I've already installed the plugin before adding the code to create the customfields.
So what i needed to do is call the function above on the vtlib_handler module.postupdate (this will add the custom field on a module update)
Only problem with this is that it'll get run every time the extenstion is updated.
So i suggest creating a if statement in the function to check if the field already exists in the vtiger_field dbtable if not run the script.
Hopefully i saved someone else some time by writing this all down :P
Goodluck!
Please refer below link
Add New Field in existing Module
Copy code from My Answer and create a new PHP file with ay name. Place that in CRM's root directory and Run into browser. Your Field will be added into your Module. You have to make sure about the parameters you set in code which you copy.
I can't find a good explanation of how to upload files to the file system in Grails. The tutorial books I've gone through "keep it simple" by uploading directly to the database using a byte[] field, but that wouldn't be ideal for my particular situation. The Grails documentation explains file uploading here: http://grails.org/doc/latest/guide/theWebLayer.html#uploadingFiles. So I tried modifying this to fit my resource:
def save(Person personInstance) {
// ... a couple standard error checks
// Handle file upload
def f = request.getFile(params.thumbnail)
if (f.empty) {
flash.message = 'file cannot be empty'
return
}
def filename = "myfile.txt"
def webrootDir = servletContext.getRealPath("/") //app directory
f.transferTo(new File(webrootDir,"images/uploads/thumbnails/$filename"))
personInstance.save flush:true
// ... response
}
Could not find matching constructor for:
java.lang.String(org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartFile)
I also tried using the name of the field, def f = request.getFile('thumbnail'), but got the same error. I made sure to add the g:uploadForm tag and set the <input name="thumbnail" type="file"/> within the form.
I would like to be able to upload an image to the file system and then use a String field in the database to store the name of that image.
I'm reading a CSV file and one of the columns has text that contains symbols that is not recognized. After I read the file, symbols such as ' becomes � . I'm also saving this into a DB.
Obviously when I display this on a webpage, it shows garbage. How can I substitute HTML code (ex. ´ ;) for this with Grails?
I am reading the CSV using the csv plugin. Code below:
def f = "clientDocs/testfile.csv"
def fReader = new File(f).toCsvMapReader([batchSize:50, charset:'UTF-8'])
fReader.each { batchList ->
batchList.each {
def description = substituteSymbols(it.Description)
def substituteSymbols(inText) {
// HOW TO SUBSTITUTE HERE
}
Thanks for any help or suggestions. I've already tried string.replaceAll(regExp).
Grails comes with a basic set of encoders/decoders for common tasks.
What you want here is it.Description.encodeAsHTML().
And then if you want the original when displaying in the view, just reverse it with .decodeHTML()
You can read more about these here: http://grails.org/doc/latest/guide/single.html#codecs
(Edited decode method name typo as per the comment)
I've looked around but could not find a way of simply including or rendering *.html files in Grails. My application needs to g.render or <g:render> templates which are delivered as html files. For this, as we know, html files have to be converted to _foo.gsp files in order to get rendered. I am totally surprised as to why isn't there a direct support for html or is there one??
Thanks!
One obvious option is to simply rename your HTML files from foo.html to _foo.gsp and then use <render template="foo">. However this is so obvious that I'm sure you've already thought of it.
If you simply want to render a HTML file from within a controller you can use the text parameter of the render controller method
def htmlContent = new File('/bar/foo.html').text
render text: htmlContent, contentType:"text/html", encoding:"UTF-8"
If you want to do the same thing from within a .gsp, you could write a tag. Something like the following (untested) should work:
import org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextHolder
class HtmlTagLib {
static namespace = 'html'
def render = {attrs ->
def filePath = attrs.file
if (!file) {
throwTagError("'file' attribute must be provided")
}
def htmlContent = new File(filePath).text
out << htmlContent
}
}
You can call this tag from a GSP using
<html:render file="/bar/foo.html"/>
What is it you are trying to accomplish?
Render html from a controller?
In that case, all you should have to do is redirect the user to file from your control.
redirect(uri:"/html/my.html")
Use html-files instead of gsp template-files?
Thing is, Grails is a "Convention over Configuration"-platform and that means you will have to do some things "the Grails way". The files needs the _ and the .gsp but the name can be whatever you like even if it's easier when you use the same name as the controller. What you gain from doing that is the knowledge that every developer that knows grails and comes into your project will understand how things are tied together and that will help them get started quickly.
Little bit fixed the Don's example, works fine for me
import org.apache.commons.io.IOUtils
class HtmlTagLib {
static namespace = 'html'
def render = {attrs ->
def filePath = attrs.file
if (!filePath) {
throwTagError("'file' attribute must be provided")
}
IOUtils.copy(request.servletContext.getResourceAsStream(filePath), out);
}
}
I wanted to write static html/ajax pages hosted in grails app (v2.4.4), but use the controller for the url rewrite. I was able to accomplish this by moving the file to web-app/ (for ease of reference), and simply use the render() method with 'file' and 'contentType' params, such as:
// My controller action
def tmp() {
render file: 'web-app/tmp.html', contentType: 'text/html'
}
Note: I only tried this using run-app, and haven't packaged a war and deployed to tomcat, yet.
Doc: http://grails.github.io/grails-doc/2.4.4/ref/Controllers/render.html
Closure include = { attr ->
out << Holders.getServletContext().getResource(attr.file).getContent();
}
It is relative to the web-app folder of your grails main application
I was able to use #momo's approach to allow inclusion of external files for grails rendering plugin, where network paths would get botched in higher environments - mine ended up like:
def includeFile = { attr ->
URL resource = Holders.getServletContext().getResource(attr.file)
InputStream content = resource.getContent()
String text = content?.text
log.info "includeFile($attr) - resource: $resource, content.text.size(): ${text?.size()}"
out << text
}
I have some folder with different files.
I want to use something like this: http://myserver.com/foo/bar/test.html
I'm using this way to obtain path:
"/excursion/$path**" (controller:"excursion", action:"sweet")
But it doesn't helps with file extensions... How to disable file extensions truncating ?
P.S.
class ExcursionController {
def defaultAction = "sweet"
def sweet = {
render "${params.path}"
}
}
Request http://myserver.com/excursion/foo/bar/test.html
The result is "foo/bar/test" with no extension :(
what does
render "${params.path}.${request.format}"
give you?
Disable file extension truncation by adding this line to grails-app/conf/Config.groovy:
grails.mime.file.extensions = false
This impacts content negotiation, so I suggest you read section 7.8 of the Grails user guide
