New to Umbraco and having a problem updating the code of an existing site (Umbraco version 7.2.8).
Editing views works fine but when editing a model and/or controller the site does not change.
The files I'm editing are located in:
/Models/*.cs
/Controllers/*.cs
Could someone supply details on how to compile these?
Depends on where your code behind files are located. If they're in /App_Code you shouldn't have to compile, I believe, but anything other than that (like /Models/*.cs or /Controllers/*.cs) will have to be compiled.
Your controller names should end with SurfaceController.
All models you create as in Models folder.
You might need to reference your models in controller

I wonder why every time I need to rebuild whole solution when I make changes to .cshtml file to see changes on web. It takes so much time and it is annoying when I just want to check some minor change in html (for example adding <td> element into table which will be filled with value from model)
Please can somebody explain it to me? I'm not very experienced in this area and I want to understand it more :)
Late for the party?
I had the same issue in VS 2019 RC2 while working with out of the oven, still warm demo project based on the Razor Components App template. For each change to take effect I had to rebuild the project. I excluded browser cache issues and everything else I could think of or found mentioned on the web.
I found that in the .csproj file the razor file extensions was set to .cshtml:
<PropertyGroup>
<TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.0</TargetFramework>
<LangVersion>7.3</LangVersion>
<_RazorComponentInclude>Components\**\*.*cshtml*;</_RazorComponentInclude>
</PropertyGroup>
...while the actual file extensions were .razor. After renaming the .razor files to have .cshtml extension everything worked as expected.
Note, it didn't work the other way around, editing the .csproj file to look for .razor extension because there was a conflict in two stock .target files that I didn't want to touch.
That depends on the change.
If it is a razor change, yes you need to build (compile dlls). If it is not, that you don't.
Razor syntax is a view syntax of c#. It is used in views and transformed into html via the Razor View Engine.
By being C# code, you need to generate it's IL by doing a build or rebuild. Basically you are telling the compiler to generate a new IL based on your changes. Than the web server uses the dlls to run the app.
I am little confused before starting a new project in Yii2 advanced template. So, i am asking this question.
I have done some projects in "Yii2 basic" app in which we use modules for different parts of our application like for adminpanel, api we create different folders in 'modules folder'.
I had also done a project in Yii2 advanced template it was multiapp project so we used advanced template. As we already had 'backend' and 'frontend' separated in Yii2 advanced template so we didn't created any module in 'modules' folder.
Now, i want to ask what is right approach. like in my new project we have users and products in backend so is it appropriate to create different modules for them in 'modules' folder or will it be ok if i create there controllers and models directly in backend folder.
what are the advantages of using modules folder in advanced template?
Thanks for answers in advance.
The advantage of module's use is primarly the possibilities of a resue of this components in several diffferente project. you can easly separate you common repetative functionalities in several modules and use the same code in different prject indipendently of the "template" or scaffolding you use for the single applicazione or group of applications.
Do the fact the modules are self-contained software units that consist of models, views, controllers, and other supporting components
modules are, not only usable as a sort of mini-applications, but also as a easy way for code organization and reuse.
Modules are used to reduce our work.
Example:
In most of projects have user login function like login , signup ,
forget passsword ,password reset.
If you write code for these functions as module . You can use any
project
So there is know need to write one code again and again.
Choices:
create an asset bundle (nicely explained by Ivo Renkema at How do I manage assets in Yii2?). this is what I need if I want to package my code for other use. alas, should I also do this for my own php include library functions? Or should I still stick them into the same php location as my other php files? In any case, if I want to go this route, presumably I would then customize the AppAsset class, included in the template, as explained in http://www.yiiframework.com/doc-2.0/guide-structure-assets.html .
stick my files directly into $basePath/web, where $basePath is typically something like /var/www/myapp/ (i.e., as $basePath/html/mine.html [and refer to it simply as href='/html/mine.html'], $basePath/css/mine.css , $basePath/js/mine.js, and $basePath/php/mine.php [and refer to it as $basePath= \Yii::getAlias('#webroot'); require_once('$basepath/php/mine.php') ])?
stick my local files where my php view code sits. the advantage is that the files are close to where I will use them. the disadvantage is that I may litter the view directories not only with php files, but also with my non-asset assets, even though they will be used only by these (my) php files.
it's a beginner's question for the google cache reference. it's about best practice when getting started. I can guess the answer, but we wouldn't want a novice to disseminate bad info.
If you need your CSS and JS files only in one view or one Controller you have 2 choices:
1- Create a asset bundle Here other guide if you need it.
2- Use registerJsFile() from View Class
You can acces from controller using:
Yii::$app->view->registerJsFile('js.path');
(Same with CSS files but using registerCssFile())
With the PHPfiles I always try to convert the code to yii's MVC. If you have a entire library try to add it as a component. Here a usefull guide
i'am trying to use components from another module, but is not working.
Look what i have:
I have my project, its an app to convert files, and its working everything is ok. Now i want to change the interface... for that i cloned a github repository thats is a project with the components that i want to use, and imported it as a module. (should i import as a module or as a project?)
Everything great till now, but when i try to use the components from the module i cant find the classes or even the module...
Any suggestions?
You should add your imported sources as a new module (let's call it B), then you should add a dependency from your original module A to your module B in order to use its code.
See this page on how to configure module dependencies.
I am trying to customize the source files of a Joomla component.
Before the Joomla MVC model introduced, I was able to run SQL queries in a component, Kunena 1.0 to select data from another component. e.g Sobi2.
However, after Kunena 1.5 [MVC model] was introduced, I do not know how / where to add the SQL query to select data from Sobi2.
I believe I need to add some codes in the files of the /models/ or /func/ folder. But can someone provide more detailed assistance on how I can achieve this?
The data interaction is done by the model, you will find Kunena models in the model folder.
Querying the SOBI2 databse is the same as before, MVC wouldn't actually affect how you do this.
To get your head around MVC, have a look at:
http://docs.joomla.org/Developing_a_Model-View-Controller_Component_-_Part_1
For examples of how to query the database in your model, look at:
http://docs.joomla.org/How_to_use_the_database_classes_in_your_script
In simple terms, the Controller directs to the appropriate view (view.html.php), this view then interacts with the model, and then directs to a template file (normally located in the view/tmpl folder.
Hope this helps.
