I’ve started playing with Qlik Sense extensions these days and pretty much I’m happy with the process in overall. You can develop extensions using Workbench (if you have Qlik Sense Desktop installed) or any text editor. But if you have Sense Server installed you need to develop directly on the server or upload your files every time a change is made. From 7-8 months I’m a proud owner of Chromebook and I’m trying to use it as many as possible. At this point I can use it as my default laptop for work. ...

Every QlikView app have a section with available selections (usually on top or in the left side or both). This sections are static and are not visible all the time when the user scroll (if the tab contains more content which cannot fit on the visible screen). I was missing “fixed” selections areas in QlikView from time to time but never did anything about it. In desktop/IE plugin is not possible to have it but AJAX client is a different story. And the result is FixedContent. ...

At every point everyone had a need to compare two texts to spot the differences between them. In my case I wanted to compare two csv files. There are a lot of options how to perform this. But I wanted to be online. So I’ve found jsdifflib. Small JS lib that do the job. I’ve took the demo page (with very small changes) and package it as Chrome App, which can be used offline. ...

If you have one Qlikview Access Point then you have no problems but when you have few Qlikview environments and multiple customers and want to open qv document then you are in trouble (kinda). Organizing bookmarks is one solutions that helps. I was thinking recently how to speed up the process of open document quickly and decided to make a little Chrome extension that will help. The idea of the extension is simple - define few Qlikview Access Points links and get the documents that are available. Then just search the list for document and jump in it. ...

Extension update (v1.2.4): extension now have a button to short the current tab. The short link point directly to current tab url. Chrome web store link Hope you like it! Stefan

Just a note to myself (kinda) how to perform bulk update in MongoDB. (it took me some time to figure it out) // OrderId = [1,2,3,4,5,6] BulkUpdate(OrderId, function() { console.log('done'); }); function BulkUpdate(OrderId, callback) { Model.update( { orderid : { $in: OrderId } }, { $set: { status: 'complete' } }, { multi : true}).exec(callback); } Update (2014-09-16) And here is the bulk insert code example: ...

Well this was easy. The extension is updated and now you have an option to “pack” and set of currently open tabs. Below is a screenshot with the new functionality: Hope you like it! Stefan

Aaaaaand its done .. web server is moved on more permanent host changes in the server code base is made extension is also updated - few bugs where fixed and also is added functionality to auto copy the result link to clipboard database is moved to MongoHQ/Compose If you are interested, the extension source is published here The extension itself is now public and can be found here The server doesn’t have dedicated domain but can be found at 146.185.148.8. Will try to make more user friendly home page in the future. ...

It’s been a while since I wrote something here. A lot of personal and professional changes happened to me in this period. But this is a different story. Below is another story … The issue Recently I had a need to send few links to friend of mine. All links was saved as Chrome Bookmarks. I’ve opened all of them and send him the all the links. I’ve lost some time to open all the links and then copy and paste them. So I’ve decide to make a little chrome extension and small node.js app/server that will help me in the future to simplify this process. ...

Until now I didn’t find a good way to re-use code in Qlikview. I’ve tried few ways to achieve it but was never totally happy with the result. I’m using Gist from time to time but a lot of my gists are private (most of them are project specifics) and for this reason I was thinking that it’s impossible to use Gist snippets from inside Qlikview. But recently I’ve found that private gists are not so private after all. If you know the exact url the gist is displayed even when you’re not log in. ...
