Fckeditor custom config

Hello,
I was wondering, in CF8 for cftextarea(richtext) is there a way to have multiple myconfig.js files. Is there a some sort of variable I can use to put in the directive
FCKConfig.CustomConfigurationsPath = 'myconfig.js' ;
For instance. My application is running in /myforms/myapp/ and if I make FCKConfig.CustomConfigurationsPath = '/myforms/myapp/myconfig.js' it works but it will force all other instances of fckeditor to the same config file. What I would like is something along the lines of FCKConfig.CustomConfigurationsPath = MyAppPathVariable + 'myconfig.js' so that I can have multiple custom config files for separate instances of the editor.
This is the concept that I am going after, but obviously this will not work
FCKConfig.CustomConfigurationsPath = ExpandPath('.') + '/myconfig.js' ;
Is there a way to do this the way I have shown here, or some other way would suffice as well.
TIA

You can use BASEPATH:

Jabber for windows 9.2.1 - InitialPhoneSelection doesn't work if configuration is in custom config file

Hi,
my customer wanted set InitialPhoneSelection to deskphone mode, when users firs run Jabber for Windows (ver. 9.2.1).
I created custom config (configurationfile=jabber-config-deskphone.xml) but it doesn't work.
Policies>
<InitialPhoneSelection>deskphone</InitialPhoneSelection>
</Policies>
I tested it couple times and at the end I tried put configuration to default jabber-config.xml and ... this functionality start working...
Could you check guys if you have same problem with custom config file? I think that it is bug. Maybe other option don't work in custom config file.
Thanks a lot
Pavel

Hi Pavel,
This setting is only when the client is installed and started by the user for the first time. After that the client will save the user preference (what was the phone selection when the user exited the client) and use it in subsequent logins.
Having said that, can you please specify in details how exactly you did your tests or maybe test again taking the above into consideration ?
Thanks,
Christos

Standard config RAM vs custom config prices?

for the custom mac pro, you can get 4 1gig sticks for 1100, or buy the standard mac pro and upgrade to 4gigs (2 sticks @ 2 gigs each) for 1500? Is there anyway to get apple ram for cheaper or in another config?

You can buy Apple RAM separately from the Apple Store… look under the accessories section in Memory. Otherwise, you can bargain with a reseller unless of course you know someone who works at one. It doesn't have to be specifically an Apple reseller either, just one that can order from an Apple distributor like Ingram Micro.
What's wrong with 3rd party RAM?

Using Custom Config Files with WinForms

I have created a new .config file for my application called "MyConfigFile.config" but I do not know how to reference, read or update it. Should I treat it as any other generic XML file?
Rob E.

The configuration file should be in the same directory as the application. The name of the configuration file should have the same name as the application with .config at the end. For example, an application called Watcher.exe should have
a configuration file called Watcher.exe.config.
To access the appSettings values from inside the program, use the AppSetting property of the ConfigurationSettings class.
string title = System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Title"];
Two things should be kept in mind when accessing appSettings from the configuration file.One, the AppSetting could be null. Two, the AppSetting property always returns a string.When getting values from the configuration file, the code needs
to handle these situations.
One way to approach this is as follows:
int AppSetValueMax = 0;
if (ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings[key] != null)
try
AppSetValueMax = Convert.ToInt32(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Max"]);
catch(Exception e)
//Exception Handling

How to create a custom Config Mgr 2012 R2 SCOM Dashboard

Has anyone blogged on how to create a Config Manager 2012 dashboard in Operations Manager 2012? Or have some information they are happy to share?
This blog has some information:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/kevinholman/archive/2012/12/11/monitoring-configmgr-2012-with-opsmgr.aspx
However its more of an overview rather than how you construct it.
I would appreciate anyone willing to post some information on how they have setup their own and what they are monitoring.
We have installed the Config Manager management pack with default tuning. At the moment, I have something like this setup, however its not showing any data yet as the Ops Mgr clients are still collecting data.

Can we copy webutil config under custom config eg: myconfig

I have an application which is pointing to [MYCONFIG] in formsweb.cfg and I have configured webutil on the application server and the demo form is running fine with the following url,
http://appserver:7778/forms/frmservlet?config=webutil&form=TEST.fmx&userid=webutil/pwd@db1
Here, in the above url if you can see the config=webutil, Now since all my configuration for webutil is based on this pointer [webutil] in formsweb.cfg it is working fine.
My Question is can I copy all the configurations of [webutil] under [MYCONFIG]. Because from my application which is based on url as http://appserver:7778/forms/frmservlet?config=MYCONFIG, I need to call the webutil demo form.
Please advice

Custom portlet mode-config

In my Portlet class NewsPortlet i am overriding the doDispatch() method of superclass GenericPortlet if the portlet mode is Config. Like this
public void doDispatch(RenderRequest req, RenderResponse res) throws PortletException, IOException{
System.out.println("doDispatch");
if(req.getPortletMode().toString().equalsIgnoreCase("config")){
doConfig(req,res);
super.doDispatch(req, res);
The above porltet is standalone deployable war file.
This is exactly as per the JSR 168 spec for the custom config mode.
Do I need to choose some special themes/layout to get the config mode icon on my portlet or do i need to create my custom theme/layout and do it?

Hello,
I don't believe custom portlet modes are supported by the current versions of WLP for JSR168 portlets. Is it possible to map your custom mode onto one of the supported modes "edit", "view" or "help"?

Upgrading FCKEditor?

I posted this in the beta forum a month ago and the answer
was 'we'll probably update the version of FCKEditor in the
release.'
The FCKEditor version included in with CF8, 2.4.2, does not
support Opera or Safari. (FCKEditor itself has issues with both of
these browsers for good reason and this is not Adobe's fault by any
stretch.) However, there are more current releases that do support
Opera and Safari.
It is important to my users that we extend our support to
include these browsers. Is it possible or adviseable to update the
FCKEditor code in the CF8 release?

i finally got around to updating the fckeditor. and it works
awesome. there's no need to have access to the CFIDE/scripts
folder. i was hunting for a solution to have custom configs/skins
on a shared host, and found Rakshith's post on the editor:
http://www.rakshith.net/blog/?p=22
i placed the newest fckeditor download in my webroot and used
the new basepath attribute in the cftextarea tag. i can now
customize and skin it and keep up w/ the latest version.
<cftextarea name="test" id="test" value="test"
height="250" width="450" richtext="true"
basepath="/includes/fckeditor/" toolbar="customToolbar"
toolbaronfocus="yes" skin="customAluminum"/>
hope this helps!
now if i could get richtext=true + flash forms...

[SOLVED] Macbook 2,1 Intel 945GM: no backlight property custom kernel

Hi,
I just finished compiling a custom kernel for my Macbook and for the life of me cannot figure out which option enables backlight control. I'm suspecting it might be CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT, but I can't actually find it via 'make menuconfig.' In other words, I can grep it from the raw config, but don't know where it is:
$ grep -A10 -B10 CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT .config
CONFIG_FB_CFB_IMAGEBLIT=y
# CONFIG_FB_CFB_REV_PIXELS_IN_BYTE is not set
# CONFIG_FB_SYS_FILLRECT is not set
# CONFIG_FB_SYS_COPYAREA is not set
# CONFIG_FB_SYS_IMAGEBLIT is not set
# CONFIG_FB_FOREIGN_ENDIAN is not set
# CONFIG_FB_SYS_FOPS is not set
# CONFIG_FB_WMT_GE_ROPS is not set
# CONFIG_FB_SVGALIB is not set
# CONFIG_FB_MACMODES is not set
[b]# CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT is not set[/b]
# CONFIG_FB_MODE_HELPERS is not set
# CONFIG_FB_TILEBLITTING is not set
# Frame buffer hardware drivers
# CONFIG_FB_CIRRUS is not set
# CONFIG_FB_PM2 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_CYBER2000 is not set
# CONFIG_FB_ARC is not set
But menuconfig is like this:
--- Support for frame buffer
[ ] Enable firmware EDID
[ ] foreign endianness support --->
[ ] Video Mode Handling Helpers
[ ] Tile Blitting Support
It's hard to reproduce entirely here, but the point is that the config grep returns fb_backlight just above mode helpers/tilebitting, but above those are foreign endianness, and that's not where the backlight setting is.
The card is the Intel 945GM; on the default Arch kernel I can use xbacklight to adjust brightness. With my custom compiled one, I get "no outputs have backlight property" with xbacklight and, indeed, /sys/class/backlight is empty.
Would someone kindly tell me which kernel option provides the backlight property for this card?

there to wonder about. CONFIG_FB_BACKLIGHT only gets triggered if certain drivers are enabled. But I don't have any of those.

about right, and the end stuff is all specific laptop drivers.

SSL certificate selection weirdness in iCal server config

I have a wildcard certificate installed via the certificate manager on a 10.5 server, and it's working perfectly with dynamic virtual hosts in apache, with mail via POP3, IMAP and SMTP. However, something odd happens in iCal admin. The certificate popup menu contains:
No certificate
Custom Configuration...
*.example.com
Default
Manage Certificates...
So, I select my installed certificate and click save. The certificate popup immediately changes to "Custom Configuration..." and I'm asked whether I want to restart iCal for the change, which I accept.
Connections to iCal work when SSL is off, but if I use an SSL URL like:
https://ical.example.com:8443/principals/users/myname/
I get this error:
Account information not found
Unexpected secure name resolution error (code -9844). The server name ical.example.com may be incorrect.
When SSL is on, non-secure requests just don't respond.
Nothing appears in the iCal server log.
If I select the custom config from the certificate menu, it just shows me the same certificate and key path that the certificate manager does, so I've no idea why it's reverting in the menu when it doesn't in other service admin panels.
The necessary firewall ports are open, though I've tried it with the firewall off just to check.
I've heard that if DNS doesn't have matching forward and reverse resolution the first time iCal is configured, it can screw things up, and I did that, but I've no idea what effect it has.
Any ideas?
(names have been changed to protect the innocent!)

Sounds like you're looking at the access log.
The error log is the one that would have the funny business listed.
Try switching logs through the dropdown at the bottom of the server-admin ical logs screen.
When I enable SSL and try to visit the page via https://host:8443/ the error log for the ical service shows a number of processes dying with the following error: (replaced real date/time to save time!)
pydir] date/time marking host ('127.0.0.1', 8444) down ([Failure instance: Traceback (failure with no frames): <class 'twisted.internet.error.ConnectionRefusedError'>: Connection was refused by other side: 61: Connection Refused.
pydir] date/time ])
pydir] date/time retrying with ('127.0.0.1', 8445)
Then it goes on to repeat the error with 8445 and so on until it reaches 8451. (they look like PID numbers.. not port numbers. see below.) Afterwards I receive:
pydir] date/time no working servers, manager -> aggressive
pydir] date/time re-adding ('127.0.0.1', 8449) automatically

How to restrict transaction type in customized activity pop-up

We have created a custom workcenter link for search enhancement of activities. We copied the work center link and are calling the same component as in std search but a different customized configuration with added and deleted fields in search criteria. This works fine. Now the requirement is to restrict the 'transaction types' available when we click on the 'new' button in the new custom activity search page. As this pop-up emanates from the std component, it can not be functionally configured (because that would restrict the 'transaction types' while creating new activity in std componnet) but should be technically handled. Please advise.

Hi Amar,
Solution here is to let the framework know who is caller ?
That is, when pop up is opening, you have to put a code in this pop up view to understand who is invoking this pop up , Is it the search page of std. component configuration or is it the custom search page configuration ?
So have a static attribute in some Z class, you can use your IMPL class also for that matter, Now whenever you know that its custom config i.e. in DO_CONFIG_DETERMINATION, read the role key( i assumed that you have a role key for your custom config)
and if its custom role key, then set this static parameter say ZCUST_CONFIG = abap_true else abap_false (this is must to reset it using else as this is static attribute )
Now, in your pop_up view, read this static attribute as XXXX_IMPL=>zcust_config , and if true, then you know that the pop up is invoking from custom config, so do the coding to remove the unwanted transaction types.
and you are done !!
Hope it helps you.
Thanks & Regards,
SUCHITA

LMS 4.2 Custom Templates

I trying to create and deploy at custom config template to my lab router. When I try to preview the cli commands there is a error. I am unable to determine what the causing the error. Is there some kind a log I can view to determine whats causing the error. There is no validation process for the templates once created it the cli template creation phase. <see attached>

Unfortunately, there no such way by which you could do this on LMS as it not an available feature.
Syslog is amongst one of the basic feature in LMS and doesn't have a lot of custom attributes for Syslog Management.
Only option you have when a syslog arrives is :
> Send an email about that particular syslog.
> Execute a script.
> Go and run a URL.
The above options are known as Automated Actions (AA). Apart from AA, you can't define anything for a syslog.

[svn] 2716: SDK-15848 - Conditional compilation constants defined in flex-config. xml are never used if a single constant is specified on the command line

Revision: 2716
Author: [email protected]
Date: 2008-08-04 01:18:12 -0700 (Mon, 04 Aug 2008)
Log Message:
SDK-15848 - Conditional compilation constants defined in flex-config.xml are never used if a single constant is specified on the command line
* There's a possibility this will break a conditional complication test which disallows overwriting an existing definition -- I don't know if that will break the build, but the test should be removed either way.
* Using append syntax ("-define+=" on the command line or ant tasks, or append="true" in flex-config) and redefining a value works now if you use an already-defined namespace and name.
* So your flex-config may have -define=CONFIG::debug,false, and you may want -define+=CONFIG::debug,true from the commandline build, or FB build.
* Made the ASC ConfigVar fields final as a sanity check since overwriting is now allowed. It would be harder to track changes and subtle bugs if they were mutable. This means that you must build a new ConfigVar object if you need to make changes.
Bugs: SDK-15848
QA: Yes. Please read the updated javadocs in CompilerConfiguration. Tests need to be added to validate that overwriting is allowed, and happens correctly in different situations: I believe the order should be that flex-config is overwritten by a custom config (can we have more than one user config? is the order deterministic? I forget...), is overwritten by commandline or OEM. Did I miss any? (I didn't write code which changes this, it works however the existing configuration system allows overwriting and appending; if we have tests for that, maybe we don't need them duplicated for this feature.)
Doc: Yes. Please read the updated javadocs in CompilerConfiguration.

Altered kernel .config overwritten when building

Howdy-ha, all. Afer about 7 months of being too lazy and frustrated to bother, I've found the time and motivation to once again try building a custom kernel with a fixed DSDT compiled into it. I'm running Arch64 on a Toshiba laptop, and the relatively lightweight system I've built (and ability to limit CPU frequency in the BIOS) have kept me from suffering from the overheating that plagued my earlier Linux days. I feel, however, that it's about time I had a functional cooling fan and the ability to suspend to ram for convenience. I've never managed to successfully built a DSDT into the kernel--despite successfully building the kernel itself--and the throttled-down cpufreqs push the build time of a default distro kernel up to about 2+ hours before I can even test. Now, the discovery of "localmodconfig" and the great idea to build in /dev/shm ramdisk has compelled me to try again.
Here's the snag I've hit: according to the Kernel Compilation wiki entry--
ArchWiki wrote:Note: If you uncomment return 1 [in the pkgbuild], you can change to the kernel source directory after makepkg finishes extraction and then make nconfig. This lets you configure the kernel over multiple sessions. When you're ready to compile, copy the .config file over top of either config or config.x86_64 (depending on your architecture), comment return 1 and use makepkg -i.
However, after adding localmodconfig to the pkgbuild, running makepkg up to the "return 1" point, and then manually tweaking the config some more (according to these instructions), running makepkg again will first give an md5sum error (owing to the altered config.x86_64). I can use the --skipinteg flag, but then it still extracts the source tarball again and overwrites the custom .config in the source tree, though leaving the changed config.x86_64 intact.
What mistake am I missing? I get the feeling that skipping the integrity check might not be the best move, but it's the only way I can follow the wiki instructions. Also, I intend to use localmodconfig for all kernels after the first successful build, but at the moment it's not utterly necessary if it's overly compilicating things. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the tips, folks. I just finished my 6th quiz/exam in as many days, and now it's spring break time, so I'll be gettin' to this kernel business momentarily. @tomk: altering the config manually (after running make localmodconfig from the src directory) is all I'm really trying to do; a mushy mind due to long hours of staring at pages of text led to me overlooking --noextract and --nobuild (thanks for the pointer, foutrelis!). My cpu is moderately powered, but I've had it scaled back during previous builds since overheating is one of the issues I'm trying to solve, and that's the primary reason for using localmodconfig and building in a ramdisk. A concomitant question: does mounting /dev/shm with default settings, so as to build there without root privileges, pose any security or stability problems? The wiki says to use noexec, nodev, nosuid as mount options, but for now I only have it mounted with nosuid for its own sake. If this is ok, then hopefully over the next few days I'll have a perfectly working laptop (although, with no real responsibilities until the middle of next week, I kinda foresee a whiskey weekend around the bend ) Thanks again for the help.
