I’d say there is a disclaimer for this post – there might be a better way to do what I’m about to explain, but, well, maybe it’s the only way. So, every now and then, you’d be using FetchXml with Liquid, and you’d be getting an error: Liquid error: Exception has been thrown by the… Read More »
In the previous post, I wrote about how to create a GC Web-based web template to render tables in Power Pages. The idea was to discuss localizations next, but let’s take a de-tour and talk about custom forms first. Why would we even do such a thing if there are out of the box basic… Read More »
So here is the thing. Depending on what you want to get out of Power Pages, there may come a time when Bootstrap5 will start getting in your way. Weird as it sounds. If you’ve been following my recent posts, they’ve mostly been about getting GC Web “implemented” with Power Pages. And I’ll continue with… Read More »
In the previous post of these series, I’ve talked about lookup localizations, and we’ll get back to the topic of localizations a bit later, but, right now, let’s see what can be done about custom lists. GC Web does have a component for this: https://wet-boew.github.io/GCWeb/common/tables/table-en.html Which is using DataTables plugin So, just to illustrate, here… Read More »
I love subtle differences in how various features work. They make my life miserable sometimes, but they also give me some advantage. I can even beat copilots… since how would AI know about such things? I blogged about snippets rendering recently: https://www.itaintboring.com/power-platform/power-pages-snippet-rendering-3-options-3-different-html-outputs/ Turned out there is more to it. Look at the liquid below and… Read More »
It’s the third part of these series, and I’m assuming you’ve at least looked at the first two, since this is where I talked about how to enable GC Web for Power Pages, and, also, about how to configure some of the language-specific features once the theme has been “enabled”. Let’s talk about lookup localizations… Read More »
In the first part, I described how to get GC Web theme deployed in Power Pages, but there were quite a few things missing there. We still need to: And, then, we also need to look at the lookup label localizations, forms, list, and still a bunch of other things. We’ll get there, but, first:… Read More »
If you have not worked on the GoC projects, you might not be aware of what GC Web is, so, in short, it’s an accessible web template/theme that’s been implemented by a lot of government of Canada web sites. As in, have a look at the “canada.ca” to get an idea. It’s relatively well documented… Read More »
Here is a question: if there is no table permission for a given table, is there a way to present present data from that table to your Power Pages site visitor? And the answer is “yes” – I’ll explain below, and you can think of the possible implications, since that depends. Let’s say you had… Read More »
In the first part, we talked about setting up the following: What’s still remaining is to configure the docker components to make the traffic flow to the portal through the external domain. Let’s get to it then. First, you’ll need docker somewhere. In my case, I have a Windows desktop with WSL2 and Docker desktop… Read More »
