Is it possible to set the current user name to a field of an item in sitecore cms? -


for example, username in sitecore admin "borj", whenever create article want "borj" automatically fill author field of article create.

yes, possible, require customization.

by default have following tokens:
$name: replaced name of created item
$parentname: replaced name of parent created item
$date: replaced current date
$time: replaced current time
$now: replaced current date , time
$id: replaced id of created item
$parentid: replaced id of parent created item.

this post john west shows how fill field name of user that's creating item.

this code uses:

public class mastervariablesreplacer : sc.data.mastervariablesreplacer   {     public override string replace(string text, sc.data.items.item targetitem)     {       sc.diagnostics.assert.argumentnotnull(text, "text");       sc.diagnostics.assert.argumentnotnull(targetitem, "targetitem");       string result = this.replacevalues(         text,         () => targetitem.name,         () => targetitem.id.tostring(),         () => sc.data.items.itemutil.getparentname(targetitem),         () => targetitem.parentid.tostring());       return result;     }      private string replacevalues(       string text,       func<string> defaultname,       func<string> defaultid,       func<string> defaultparentname,       func<string> defaultparentid)     {       if ((text.length != 0) && (text.indexof('$') >= 0))       {         sc.text.replacercontext context = this.getcontext();          if (context != null)         {           foreach (keyvaluepair<string, string> pair in context.values)           {             text = text.replace(pair.key, pair.value);           }         }          text = this.replacewithdefault(text, "$name", defaultname, context);         text = this.replacewithdefault(text, "$id", defaultid, context);         text = this.replacewithdefault(text, "$parentid", defaultparentid, context);         text = this.replacewithdefault(text, "$parentname", defaultparentname, context);         text = this.replacewithdefault(text, "$date", () => sc.dateutil.isonowdate, context);         text = this.replacewithdefault(text, "$time", () => sc.dateutil.isonowtime, context);         text = this.replacewithdefault(text, "$now", () => sc.dateutil.isonow, context);         text = this.replacewithdefault(text, "$user", () => sc.context.user.localname, context);       }        return text;     }      private string replacewithdefault(       string text,        string variable,        func<string> defaultvalue,        sc.text.replacercontext context)     {       if ((context != null) && context.values.containskey(variable))       {         return text;       }        if (text.indexof(variable, stringcomparison.invariantculture) < 0)       {         return text;       }        return text.replace(variable, defaultvalue());     }   }

if change setting mastervariablesreplacer own assembly , class, it'll pick on $user

in this post alistair deneys shows different way of doing well.

[edit]
please note (untested) code provided above not work branches - 'usual' way of creating items.

the documentation of error mentioned in title says if commands out of sync; can't run command now in client code, calling client functions in wrong order. this can happen, example, if using mysql_use_result() , try execute new query before have called mysql_free_result(). can happen if try execute 2 queries return data without calling mysql_use_result() or mysql_store_result() in between. from here: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/commands-out-of-sync.html but in first query not fetching data mysql database, inserting. , in second query getting data database. here code $connection = mysqli_connect("localhost","username","password","tbl_msgs"); if(mysqli_connect_errno($connection)) { die("failed connect mysql: " . mysqli_connect_error()); } $query = "insert users (total_comments, total_views) values ({$total_comments}, {$total_views});"; $query .= "insert msgs (no...

linux - Does gcc have any options to add version info in ELF binary file? -

i mean whether gcc can insert source code version infor elf binary section or similar. not want change source file, add info gcc option in makefile. you can emit version info text file, turn text file object file statically link executable. the first step simple have write code: script or write version info in format plain text file. write makefile rule produce version.o version.txt, using objcopy . you'll have object file 2 useful symbols defined in it: beginning , end of textual version info. add generated object executable, , you'll able access version 2 ways: running strings on binary, or writing code in application print version string (you'll need declare start , end symbols variables in header file).

i'm using named queries fetch entities database using jpa , hibernate , came across puzzling me: how come there no default implementations of javax.persistence.parameter interface? i rather impressed how @staticmetamodel used criteriabuilder in jpa2 meaning type safety , don't have mess around setting string names. wanted apply similar of jpa1 ejb's i'm working on: dealergroup_.class: public dealergroup_ { public parameter<integer> id = new parameterimpl<integer>("id"); /// etc... } dealergroupfacade.class: // ... public dealergroup fetch(integer id) { typedquery<dealergroup> query = em.createnamedquery("dealergroup.fetchbyid", dealergroup.class); query.setparameter(dealergroup_.id, query); return query.getsingleresult(); } // ... i surprised find there no implementations of parameter interface - of course, implement myself absence makes me suspicious may mistake using in way? should implementing parameter...
