Hi guys, in this blog I will report my review of the InnoJam Madrid that took place on Saturday 6th November and ended a day after (30 hours of coding later) with the victory of my team carbonTNT.
Don’t you know what InnoJam is about? I will not explain here but I suggest you to watch this video by Rui Nogueira
Dropdown by key or Dropdown by index, that is the question of a WDA developer
03 months ago
Introduction
During my experience as a Web Dynpro for ABAP developer, I often had the doubt if it was better to use the UI element DropDownByKey or its brother DropDownByIndex.
In these last days, I realized that I always prefer and use the DropDownByKey, it doesn’t matter if the list is inside a table, an ALV table or a simple element in a view.
Clearly the index approach is also working well but I feel it as a more complex task that requires spending more time, and I’m wondering to know about your experience.
As a reference, I’m sharing below the step-by-step guide to build a DDL even without necessarily entering the fixed values associated to a domain of the field.

SAP Inside track ended and it was a great event. When I look back and I think on that day I can have only good memories: great people, interesting sessions, passion and enthusiasm to share and exchange experiences all together.

As expected, such kind of events is a great opportunity for SAP professionals to meet together in an informal atmosphere; and also is a unique possibility for most of the participants to meet in person many of valuable SCN members and contributors, that usually are known virtually.

WordPress how to: Set image width / height automatically

If you insert an image into a Worpress post, it sets by default width and height. Sometime you need to autosize images at runtime how you can achieve this?
First step
- Remove while you are posting the width and height attributes from the image tag (this sets the image size as it is really)
- Resize tag image dynamically using CCS
.post-content img{
max-width: 460px;
width: expression(this.width > 460 ? 460: true);
}
This allows you to have auto sized images, but there is a problem… What happens to the old posts? We need to edit all the old posts manually?
You can avoid this activity by introducing a new custom function in your function.php file.
Second step
- Edit function.php and define a new function like this
function remove_width_height($string){
return preg_replace('/\<(.*?)(width="(.*?)")(.*?)(height="(.*?)")(.*?)\>/i', '<$1$4$7>',$string);
} - Modify your theme calling this function in your page.php and index.php before writing the post_content.
