Have you ever thought of creating a custom function in liquid to reuse it in multiple places? Technically you can’t, not a custom function. However, you can create web templates as components, and that allows us to use such templates almost in the same way we’d be using functions. For example, you could easily re-use… Read More ..read more

Let’s say you are trying to use Power Pages web api to set a lookup column to null. You might want to ask copilot, but, depending on which one you ask (maybe none of them?), it might not know, not yet at least: Well, normally, you’d be using this syntax to prepare your data object… Read More ..read more

As usual with such posts, there is the same story: there was a time our Power Pages flows were working fine, until they were not, since we started to get an error, and, to be more specific, here is the error: Request to Azure Resource Manager failed with error: ‘{“error”:{“code”:”InvokerConnectionOverrideFailed”,”message”:”Could not find any valid connection… Read More ..read more

Every now and then I seem to be going over a bit of an identity crisis, so I have to remind myself what is it I do best and how is it different from what some may think I am supposed to do. So let’s see if this makes sense… but let’s start from waaay… Read More ..read more

In the Part 5 of my GC Web series, I wrote about creating a completely custom form in Power Pages, and it all worked just fine up until the moment I added a PCF component to the page using codecomponent liquid tag. The result was just short of disastrous. To illustrate/troubleshoot what has happened on… Read More ..read more

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 ..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 ..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 ..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 ..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 ..read more
