simple-salesforce - How to create Knowledge Page Layout programatically? - python

I've been able to create a Record Type and Custom Field for the Knowledge module of Salesforce with the metadata api implemented in simple-salesforce's python library, but when trying to create a Page Layout it throws an exception without much info on why is the creation failing (or at least I don't get it).
I'm trying to create the page layout in the following way:
def create_page_layout(self, layout_name, fields):
mdapi = self.sf.mdapi
# custom_layout_section = []
custom_layout_items = []
for field in fields:
custom_layout_items.append(mdapi.LayoutItem(
field=field
))
custom_layout_section = [mdapi.LayoutSection(
label='Information',
style='OneColumn',
layoutColumns=mdapi.LayoutColumn(
layoutItems=custom_layout_items
)
)]
custom_layout = mdapi.Layout(
fullName='Knowledge__kav.' + layout_name + '__c',
layoutSections=custom_layout_section
)
mdapi.Layout.create(custom_layout)
The param layout_name contains 'TestDefaultPL'.
The param fields contains ['Title', 'UrlName'].
The exception: Exception: Knowledge__kav.TestDefaultPL__c: (FIELD_INTEGRITY_EXCEPTION, Parent entity failed to deploy).
The docs about this object: link.
As an example, I was able to create a custom field for the Knowledge module in the following way:
def create_custom_field(self, name):
mdapi = self.sf.mdapi
# TODO: Field permissions
custom_field = mdapi.CustomField(
label=name, # Field label
fullName='Knowledge__kav.' + name + '__c', # Field name (format has to be CustomObject.FieldName)
type=mdapi.FieldType("LongTextArea"),
length=32000,
description='Default Rich Text Area',
visibleLines=25
)
return mdapi.CustomField.create(custom_field)
Could someone help me with this problem about the Page Layout creation?

Conflict between dataset and catalog

I am trying to add some tags inside the dataset definition on my XML. According to the European Data Portal de structure I must follow for the tag
<foaf:Agent rdf:about="URI/of/the/publisher">
<foaf:name xml:lang="es"> Name of the publisher</foaf:name>
</foaf:Agent>
<dct:publisher rdf:resource=”URI/of/the/publisher”>
Right now inside my dcat:Dataset I can only add the dct:publisher, missing the two other tags.
In my code I have asigned the name as a literal and for the URI an URIref since it must be values for an RDF.
g = self.g
g.add((dataset_ref, RDF.type, DCAT.Dataset))
publishers = dataset_dict.get(dhc.EXPORT_AVAILABLE_PUBLISHERS, {})
organization_id = dataset_dict.get('publisher')
if organization_id in publishers:
publisher = publishers.get(organization_id)
else:
publisher = []
org = h.get_organization(organization_id, False)
publisher = [org.get('title'), None, None]
if org and org['extras']:
for extra in org.get('extras'):
if extra and 'key' in extra and extra['key'] == dhc.ORG_ID_:
notation = extra.get('value')
publisher[1] = dhc.PUBLISHER_PREFIX + notation
publisher[2] = notation
publishers[organization_id] = publisher
dataset_dict[dhc.EXPORT_AVAILABLE_PUBLISHERS] = publishers
if publisher:
# self._add_resource_list_triple(dataset_ref, DCT.publisher, publisher[1], publisher[0], None, None, publisher[2])
EDP_publisher = URIRef(publisher[1])
g.add((dataset_ref, DCT.publisher, EDP_publisher))
g.add((dataset_ref, FOAF.Agent, EDP_publisher))
g.add((EDP_publisher, FOAF.name, Literal(publisher[0])))
So everytime I use the g.add with FOAF.name and FOAF.Agent, it sends my tag out of the dataset tag (dcat:Dataset) and transforms it from about to a resource definition.
I am feeling it could be a conflict of code. Where could I be making the wrong defition?
Updated:
After giving it more tries, I've found that the issued for the structure to not get into the "main tag" is a conflict because of the use of "RDF.type" definition since the main structure is g.add((dataset_ref, RDF.type, DCAT.Dataset)) and when I try to create it a parent and child tag, the parent get duplicate with the main tag since it gets the same values, since I found in the documentation that if the child structure doesn't find on the parent a "RDF.type", it will generate it automatically by calling it "rdf:Description"
I only managed to get the followed structured even though, it's not what I need to get.
<dcat:Dataset rdf:about="URI-ref">
<dct:description xml:lang="es"> Description of the dataset </dct:description>
<dct:title xml:lang="en">Title of dataset</dct:title>
<dct:publisher rdf:resource="URI-ref"/>
</dcat:Dataset>
<foaf:Agent rdf:about="URI-ref">
<foaf:name>Name of the publisher</foaf:name>
</foaf:Agent>
I can't manage to add the Foaf:Agent and foaf:name inside the dcat:Dataset.

MongoEngine delete nested embedded document?

I have a collection with en embedded document that has a list of embedded documents and need to be able to delete alert_list index [x] but have not been able to craft a pull command that works. Here my model structure:
class Alert(medb.EmbeddedDocument):
name = medb.StringField(default = 'new alert')
class Sensor(medb.EmbeddedDocument):
name = medb.StringField(default='')
alert_list = medb.ListField(medb.EmbeddedDocumentField(Alert), default=Alert)
class SiteConfig(medb.Document):
name = medb.StringField(default = 'name')
sensordict = medb.MapField(medb.EmbeddedDocumentField(Sensor))
#delete alert_item #2 for sensordict['99']
SiteConfig.objects(id=siteid).update_one(pull__ ????? what goes here???
I can do it in pymongo like this ( and it works just fine):
#load site into pymongo
pysite = pydb.db.SiteConfig.find_one({'_id': ObjectId(siteid)})
#delete the alert
del pysite['sensordict'][sensorid]['alert_list'][alertindex]
#save modified Site back to db
pydb.db.SiteConfig.replace_one({'_id': ObjectId(siteid)}, pysite, upsert=True)
But would prefer to use MongoEngine if possible. - any suggestions?
Thanks

Django-CMS Child plugin to show filtered data from DB table

I have two plugins ProductSelector(parent) and SpecificationSelector(child). I want to set the child up so that when you add it to the parent the Specifications that are shown are the only ones for the product (parent). Right now it pulls in all the specifications from the table. These lines let me filter the data to get what I want.
edit: I found an error that i fixed in the code. I had the PluginBase names the same as the model. This allowed me to use ProductSelector.objects.get(cmsplugin_ptr=instance.parent) in the child to get the parent instance. I still need to figure out how to pass the filtered specification list to the "PluginAdmin Interface"
product = ProductSelector.objects.get(cmsplugin_ptr=instance.parent)
specification = Specifications.objects.filter(product_name__product_name__iexact = product.product_name)
However, I haven't figured out how to send that filtered list to the plugin admin interface.
class ProductSelectorPlugin(CMSPluginBase):
model = ProductSelector
name = "Product Selector"
render_template = "product_selector.html"
allow_children = True
child_classes = ['SpecificationSelectorPlugin']
def render(self, context, instance, placeholder):
context['instance'] = instance
return context
plugin_pool.register_plugin(ProductSelectorPlugin)
class SpecificationSelectorPlugin(CMSPluginBase):
model = SpecificationSelector
render_template = "specification_selector.html"
formfield_overrides = {models.ManyToManyField: {'widget': CheckboxSelectMultiple},}
def render(self, context, instance, placeholder):
product = ProductSelector.objects.get(cmsplugin_ptr=instance.parent)
specification = Specifications.objects.filter(product_name__product_name__iexact = product.product_name)
context['instance'] = instance
return context
plugin_pool.register_plugin(SpecificationSelectorPlugin)
models.py
class ProductSelector(CMSPlugin):
product_name = models.ForeignKey(Product, help_text = "Select the product you want to place")
new_product = models.BooleanField(blank=True)
class SpecificationSelector(CMSPlugin):
specification = models.ManyToManyField(Specifications, blank=True)
def __unicode__(self):
return unicode(self.specification)
Here is an screenshot the Django-cms plugins in the placeholder. Currently it is showing all specs in the table, but I just want it to be the specs for that particular product.

Thank you in advance for the help.
CMSPluginBase inhertis from ModelAdmin which means that you can override the form rendered when adding and editing your plugin.
So you can create a ModelForm subclass like so:
class SpecificationSelectorPluginForm(forms.ModelForm):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
super(SpecificationSelectorPluginForm, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs)
if self.instance.parent_id:
# Assume that the parent is a product instance
parent_plugin = self.instance.parent
product = parent_plugin.get_plugin_instance()[0]
if product:
# It's possible that product is an orphan plugin.
specifications = Specifications.objects.filter(
product_name__product_name__iexact=product.product_name)
self.fields['specification'].queryset = specifications
then change your SpecificationSelectorPlugin to use this form like so:
class SpecificationSelectorPlugin(CMSPluginBase):
form = SpecificationSelectorPluginForm
The above will only work if the specification plugin is a direct child of the product plugin.

flask-admin form: Constrain Value of Field 2 depending on Value of Field 1

One feature I have been struggling to implement in flask-admin is when the user edits a form, to constrain the value of Field 2 once Field 1 has been set.
Let me give a simplified example in words (the actual use case is more convoluted). Then I will show a full gist that implements that example, minus the "constrain" feature.
Let's say we have a database that tracks some software "recipes" to output reports in various formats. The recipe table of our sample database has two recipes: "Serious Report", "ASCII Art".
To implement each recipe, we choose one among several methods. The method table of our database has two methods: "tabulate_results", "pretty_print".
Each method has parameters. The methodarg table has two parameter names for "tabulate_results" ("rows", "display_total") and two parameters for "pretty_print" ("embellishment_character", "lines_to_jump").
Now for each of the recipes ("Serious Report", "ASCII Art") we need to provide the value of the arguments of their respective methods ("tabulate_results", "pretty_print").
For each record, the recipearg table lets us select a recipe (that's Field 1, for instance "Serious Report") and an argument name (that's Field 2). The problem is that all possible argument names are shown, whereas they need to be constrained based on the value of Field 1.
What filtering / constraining mechanism can we implement such that once we select "Serious Report", we know we will be using the "tabulate_results" method, so that only the "rows" and "display_total" arguments are available?
I'm thinking some AJAX wizardry that checks Field 1 and sets a query for Field 2 values, but have no idea how to proceed.
You can see this by playing with the gist: click on the Recipe Arg tab. In the first row ("Serious Report"), if you try to edit the "Methodarg" value by clicking on it, all four argument names are available, instead of just two.

I see two ways of tacking this problem:
1- When Flask-Admin generate the form, add data attributes with the mid of each methodArg on each option tag in the methodArg select. Then have some JS code filter the option tags based on the recipe selected.
EDIT
Here is a tentative try at putting a data-mid attribute on each option:
def monkeypatched_call(self, field, **kwargs):
kwargs.setdefault('id', field.id)
if self.multiple:
kwargs['multiple'] = True
html = ['<select %s>' % html_params(name=field.name, **kwargs)]
for (val, label, selected), (_, methodarg) in zip(field.iter_choices(), field._get_object_list()):
html.append(self.render_option(val, label, selected, **{'data-mid': methodarg.mid}))
html.append('</select>')
return HTMLString(''.join(html))
Select.__call__ = monkeypatched_call
The blocker is in the fact that those render calls are triggered from the jinja templates, so you are pretty much stuck updating a widget (Select being the most low-level one in WTForms, and is used as a base for Flask-Admin's Select2Field).
After getting those data-mid on each of your options, you can proceed with just binding an change on your recipe's select and display the methodarg's option that have a matching data-mid. Considering Flask-Admin uses select2, you might have to do some JS tweaking (easiest ugly solution would be to clean up the widget and re-create it for each change event triggered)
Overall, I find this one less robust than the second solution. I kept the monkeypatch to make it clear this should not be used in production imho. (the second solution is slightly less intrusive)
2- Use the supported ajax-completion in Flask-Admin to hack your way into getting the options that you want based on the selected recipe:
First, create a custom AjaxModelLoader that will be responsible for executing the right selection query to the DB:
class MethodArgAjaxModelLoader(sqla.ajax.QueryAjaxModelLoader):
def get_list(self, term, offset=0, limit=10):
query = self.session.query(self.model).filter_by(mid=term)
return query.offset(offset).limit(limit).all()
class RecipeArgAdmin(sqla.ModelView):
column_list = ('recipe', 'methodarg', 'strvalue')
form_ajax_refs = {
'methodarg': MethodArgAjaxModelLoader('methodarg', db.session, MethodArg, fields=['methodarg'])
}
column_editable_list = column_list
Then, update Flask-Admin's form.js to get the browser to send you the recipe information instead of the methodArg name that needs to be autocompleted. (or you could send both in query and do some arg parsing in your AjaxLoader since Flask-Admin does no parsing whatsoever on query, expecting it to be a string I suppose [0]. That way, you would keep the auto-completion)
data: function(term, page) {
return {
query: $('#recipe').val(),
offset: (page - 1) * 10,
limit: 10
};
},
This snippet is taken from Flask-Admin's form.js [1]
Obviously, this needs some tweaking and parametrising (because doing such a hacky solution would block you from using other ajax-populated select in the rest of your app admin + the update on form.js directly like that would make upgrading Flask-Admin extremely cumbersome)
Overall, I am unsatisfied with both solutions and this showcase that whenever you want to go out of the tracks of a framework / tool, you can end up in complex dead ends. This might be an interesting feature request / project for someone willing to contribute a real solution upstream to Flask-Admin though.
There is another easy solution that I made and it works
1- Create your first select option normally with data loaded on it and add a hook to it which will add js event listener when it selects change like this.
from wtforms import SelectField
form_extra_fields = {
'streetname': SelectField(
'streetname',
coerce=str,
choices=([street.streetname for street in StreetsMetadata.query.all()]),
render_kw={'onchange': "myFunction()"}
)
}
**2- Add a JavaScript URL file to the view you want to use this function in, for example.
def render(self, template, **kwargs):
#using extra js in render method allow use url_for that itself requires an app context
self.extra_js = [url_for("static", filename="admin/js/users.js")]
response = render_miror(self, template,**kwargs)
return response
3- Create a role-protected endpoint that you used for this view that will accept a GET request from JS based on the first value specified for the entry, for example this route returns a list of house numbers by querying the street name that came from the first entry
#super_admin_permission.require(http_exception=403)
#adminapp.route('/get_houses_numbers')
def gethouses():
request_data = request.args
if request_data and 'street' in request_data:
street = StreetsMetadata.query.filter(StreetsMetadata.streetname == request_data['street']).one_or_none()
street_houses = lambda:giveMeAllHousesList(street.excluded, street.min, street.max)
if street_houses:
return jsonify({'code': 200, 'houses': street_houses()})
else:
return jsonify({'code': 404, 'houses': []})
else:
return jsonify({'code': 400, 'street': []})
now python part completed time for JavaScript
4- We have to define three functions, the first of which will be called when the form build page is loaded and which do two things first,
A dummy select entry will be created using JS and append that entry to the same string input container
Make string entry read-only to improve user experience
Second, it will send a GET request to the specified route to get a list of house numbers using the specified street input value
Then get the result and create the option elements and append these options to the dummy selection, you can also select the first option while appending the options.
5- The second function "myFunction" is the hook defined in Python in this part
render_kw={'onchange': "myFunction()"}
This function will do nothing new, it will only send a GET request when the first specified input value is changed, send a GET request to get a list of new house numbers based on the given street name input value by doing a query on the database, then dump the inner HTML of the dummy selection entry , then create and append new options to it.
6- The last function is the callback function which listens for the change on the dummy select entry created with JS when the user chooses the house number which will be reflected in the main string entry, finally you can click save and you will see it working
Note that this whole idea I created is not as good as the built in flask admin, but if you are looking for the end goal and without any problems you can use it
My JS code
/*
This Function when run when a form included it will create JS select input with the
default loaded streetname and add house number on that select this select will used
to guide creator of the house number or to select the house number
*/
async function onFlaskFormLoad(){
const streetSelect = document.querySelector("#streetname");
const checkIfForm = document.querySelector("form.admin-form");
if (checkIfForm){
let checkSelect = document.querySelector("#realSelect");
if (!checkSelect){
const mySelectBox = document.createElement("select");
const houseString = document.querySelector("#housenumber");
const houseStringCont = houseString.parentElement;
mySelectBox.classList.add("form-control")
mySelectBox.id = "realSelect";
houseStringCont.appendChild(mySelectBox);
mySelectBox.addEventListener("change", customFlaskAdminUnpredefinedSelect);
houseString.setAttribute("readonly", "readonly");
const res = await fetch(`/get_houses_numbers?street=${streetSelect.value}`);
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);
if (data.code == 200 && mySelectBox){
data.houses.forEach( (houseOption, index)=>{
if (index == 0){
houseString.value = houseOption;
}
let newHouse = document.createElement("option");
newHouse.setAttribute("value", houseOption);
newHouse.innerText = houseOption;
mySelectBox.appendChild(newHouse);
});
}
}
}
}
onFlaskFormLoad();
/*
this function will called to change the string input value to my custom js select
value and then use that string to house number which required by flask-admin
*/
function customFlaskAdminUnpredefinedSelect(){
const theSelect = document.querySelector("#realSelect");
const houseString = document.querySelector("#housenumber");
houseString.value = theSelect.value;
return true;
}
/*
flask admin hook that will listen on street input change and then it will send
get request to secured endpoint with role superadmin required and get the housenumbers
using the streetname selected and then create options and add to my select input
*/
async function myFunction(){
const streetSelect = document.querySelector("#streetname");
const houseString = document.querySelector("#housenumber");
const houseStringCont = houseString.parentElement;
const theSelect = document.querySelector("#realSelect");
const res = await fetch(`/get_houses_numbers?street=${streetSelect.value}`);
const data = await res.json();
console.log(data);
if (data.code == 200 && theSelect){
theSelect.innerHTML = "";
data.houses.forEach( (houseOption, index)=>{
if (index == 0){
houseString.value = houseOption;
}
let newHouse = document.createElement("option");
newHouse.setAttribute("value", houseOption);
newHouse.innerText = houseOption;
theSelect.appendChild(newHouse);
});
}
}
Now if I change the street name of the first specified input I will get a new list containing the numbers based on the first input value, note if you have a way to create a python field that accepts the non-predefined options then there is no need to create dummy input you can create and append the new options Directly to second select input

Google App Engine: defining custom id and querying

I want to define a custom string as an ID so I created the following Model:
class WikiPage(ndb.Model):
id = ndb.StringProperty(required=True, indexed=True)
content = ndb.TextProperty(required=True)
history = ndb.DateTimeProperty(repeated=True)
Based on this SO thread, I believe this is right.
Now I try to query by this id by:
entity = WikiPage.get_by_id(page) # page is an existing string id, passed in as an arg
This is based on the NDB API.
This however isn't returning anything -- entity is None.
It only works when I run the following query instead:
entity = WikiPage.query(WikiPage.id == page).get()
Am I defining my custom key incorrectly or misusing get_by_id() somehow?
Example:
class WikiPage(ndb.Model):
your_id = ndb.StringProperty(required=True)
content = ndb.TextProperty(required=True)
history = ndb.DateTimeProperty(repeated=True)
entity = WikiPage(id='hello', your_id='hello', content=...., history=.....)
entity.put()
entity = WikiPage.get_by_id('hello')
or
key = ndb.Key('WikiPage','hello')
entity = key.get()
entity = WikiPage.get_by_id(key.id())
and this still works:
entity = WikiPage.query(WikiPage.your_id == 'hello').get()
