If I have an application in WebPages, I would like to know how to enable multi-site capabilities? I understand the _SiteLayout.cshtml file or what not can handle the template for one site, but how about if I wanted to change that for a different site? The different site would be passed to the application by ServerVariable (domain name), so I'm assuming there would need to be some type of controller in place to handle this? But WebPages doesn't have controllers and I'm not learning MVC now. What would be my options at this point? Thank you.
You could check the requested domain and then select the layout page, like this:
#{
if (Request.Url.Host == "domain1.com")
{
Layout = "/Shared/_Layout1.cshtml";
}
else if (Request.Url.Host == "domain2.com")
{
Layout = "/Shared/_Layout2.cshtml";
}
else
{
Layout = "/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}
}

I'm working on a SharePoint web part that displays a number of different reports in different divs on the page. In one of these divs, I need to display the HTML from a page we have stored in the 'Documents' container within SharePoint. The info in the HTML page is retrieved from several different parts of the application, and is displayed differently, so basically we're using it as the source data. I'm trying to figure out how to access the page from within the app and hopefully store the link to the file as a configurable setting so I can set it up for our dev/test/prod environments.
I've loaded the HTML file into the 'Documents' folder, and if I browse to it manually it displays fine but if I use the following:
SPSecurity.RunWithElevatedPrivileges(delegate
{
using (System.Net.WebClient client = new System.Net.WebClient())
{
string htmlCode = client.DownloadString(url);
}
}
I get a 403 error and in the response header the message, "Before opening files from this location you must first browse to the website and select the option to login automatically".
I thought the RunWithElevatedPriveleges would pass the credentials through but I'm pretty new to SharePoint. Not sure if I'm using the right approach, any help is appreciated.
Put the pages into a standard document library, then use the page viewer web part. The site asset library is used for other customization purposes. You don't even need SharePoint Designer. Page viewer should be set as a "Web Page" because the web page viewer becomes essentially an IFRAME.
If still trouble... it may be a setting at the Web Application level thats causing issues with non-Microsoft files
Go to Central Admin > Manage Web Applications. I then chose my Web Application and clicked on the "General Settings" button. I then changed the Browser File Handling from "Strict" to "Permissive" and that fixed my issue. I've included an attachment of the setting so you can read the text associated with it.
Figured it out. There were a number of permissions problems but once those were sorted this code worked:
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.ID))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
{
SPFolder folder = web.GetFolder("MainFolder/Lists/MainFolderDocs");
if (folder.Exists)
{
SPFile file = web.GetFile("/MainFolder/Lists/MainFolderDocs/Mainlist.html");
if (file.Exists)
{
using (System.IO.StreamReader reader = new System.IO.StreamReader(file.OpenBinaryStream()))
{
string htmlCode = reader.ReadToEnd();
lChecklist.Text = htmlCode;
}
}
}
}
}
I just bought a HTML landing page and I am totally newbie with all of this...
There are 3 different folders :
/windows /ios /android
How can I use nodejs and express to display the landing page?
I mean, how to redirect the client to /ios if he uses an iPhone for example.
#Detuned posted some really good links that answer your question.
Basically, you'd want to check the userAgent and render a page based on where they're coming from.
The userAgent names aren't correct, or shouldn't be since i've not checked them but i'd expect something similar to this :
app.get('/', function(req, res) {
var userAgent = req.headers['user-agent'];
if (userAgent.startsWith('Mozilla') || userAgent.startsWith('Chrome') || userAgent.startsWith('Explorer')) {
res.render('index_windows', {})
} else if (userAgent.startsWith('iOS')) {
res.render('index_ios', {})
} else if (userAgent.startsWith('android')) {
res.render('index_android', {})
}
else {
res.render('index_windows', {})
}
});
This basically grabs the / which is your home url like www.example.com/ and does a check on the headers to determine where the user has come from.
There are two ways of going about this: you would detect the browser/platform type on the client side (here) or server side (here). You would, then, send that information over to the server side so that you can render the appropriate static assets based on that information.
For rendering static assets in Node.js, refer here
On my MVC project I have to incorporate 40 static pages.
I want these pages to use the Layout page.
What is the best way to do that?
I know this question was asked before but I didn't find any good answer.
Any advise?
I don't relly know ASP, but I try to give a generic answer.
So I think if you have a lot of similar static pages, somehow you could make a controller action that handles all these pages. For example the action gets the name of the page as a path variable in the URL, and return the view according to that.
But if that is not possible in the language you are using, you can just make simple separate actions for these pages. Maybe you could group the related ones into the same controller, so you would have a few controllers that handle these pages, and they are not stuffed in one controller.
Basically the solution is very simple, you have to create views for you static HTML (cshtml), then you should add a Route to your Route.Config like this:
routes.MapRoute(
"OrdeForm",
"OrderForm/{file}",
new { controller = "MyController", action = "Page", file} = "" }
);
Where "File" is a dynamic parameter that gets the View name from the URL and renders the right View.
The global controller should be something like this:
public class OrderFormController : Controller
{
public ActionResult Index(string file)
{
return View(file);
}
}
That works perfectly!
Thank you #Erik Philips for the excellant answer!
In ASP.NET Web Pages/Razor is there a way to include a file, such as a Helper or something similar, without knowing it's name?
In Web Forms I do this by dynamically adding a User Control, like the code below, but am wondering if there is a way of doing something similar in Web Pages?
ContentTemplateBase control = (ContentTemplateBase)Page.LoadControl("~/ContentTemplates/" + detail.Template + ".ascx");
control.DataSource = detail;
plhTemplate.Controls.Add(control);
I know I could do this with a bunch of conditional statements, like...
if (detail.Template== "Template1")
{
#MyHelpers.Template1(detail)
} else if (detail.Template== "Template2")
{
#MyHelpers.Template2(detail)
} ... etc
...but wanting to do this without having to list all possible options.
On re-reading the Web Pages documentation I see I can use the RenderPage() method to include code from another file, so this seems to be the best option.
I have been researching dynamic content for MVC views and partial views but have not successfully found an architecture to fit my needs.
Basically I am required to create a landing page based on parameters pass by the URL.
For basics
http://mydns.com/myconroller/myview/?landingpage=Param1
The controller will need to find the HTML that will be used to create the view.
The view is going to be different based on the landing page.
(for the sake of the question, I am using landingpage as an example)
My goal is to be able to deploy a Landing page and based on the URL use that HTML Landing page in the view based on the landingpage parameter that is passed.
There are other views that are working currently in the controller. I am trying to add functionality to be able to add a new one time page without having to recompile.
I have searched through various ideas on how to load dynamic views but cannot seem to find a solution that fits this need based on what I have read.
I can possibly RedirectToAction but I am still in the dark on where to deploy and I am getting several problems with Razor as it is not in the shared directory and then I am stuck with deployment issues as I want to organize the landing pages differently than I am organizing the views.
Solution:
I decided to take a different approach and use the ContentResult Action in the controller. I still have the Main View and I use the HTML extensions to render the HTML pages that I have deployed in my customer's directory.
#{
Html.RenderAction("LandingPageContent", "Controller", Model);
}
Then in the controller I load the HTML directly and return the ContentResult
public ContentResult LandingPageContent(object model, FormCollection collection)
{
MySRCHelper helper = new MySRCHelper();
ContentVariables variables = helper.getContentSRC(model.EntryCode);
model.ContentSRC = variables.LandingPageSRC;
return Content(System.IO.File.ReadAllText(Server.MapPath(model.ContentSRC)));
}
I can then configure the path to the raw HTML file to be used and it will be loaded into the View. The View can then house all of the paths to load jQuery, CSS and other necessary javascript to integrate with the raw HTML and allow me to deploy the HTML files into any directory structure that I want. The configuration XML file allows me to find XML elements and use those values for any HTML that I am looking for, like a welcome and thank you page. The helper object will open the XML and find the configuration based on the parameters passed to the View.
<ContentLandingItem entrycode="1" customerID="Cutomer1">
<ContentLandingPageSRC>~/Customers/Customer1/Customer1Landing.htm</ContentLandingPageSRC>
<ContentThankyouSRC>~/Content/Default/GenericThankyou.htm</ContentThankyouSRC>
</ContentLandingItem>
<ContentLandingItem entrycode="2" customerID="Cutomer2">
<ContentLandingPageSRC>~/Customers/Customer2/Customer2Landing.htm</ContentLandingPageSRC>
<ContentThankyouSRC>~/Customers/Customer2/Customer2Thankyou.htm</ContentThankyouSRC>
</ContentLandingItem>
The view still performs its duties and works independently on it own letting the raw HTML decorate the View. The model is still intact and can be used as I wish. The FormCollection is there in case a form submit posts the values to the view and provides some things that I omitted from this question as it did not pertain to this subject.
I don't want to answer my own question and I found the pieces that helped me on another site, so I am putting what I did here in case anyone needs this functionality.
This sounds like using the you can inherit from the virtual path provider view engine and decide based on the URL parameters (or other) which view to return. Some example that you can adjust to your needs:
public class CustomViewEngine : VirtualPathProviderViewEngine
{
public MyViewEngine()
{
this.ViewLocationFormats = new string[] { "~/Views/{1}/{2}.mytheme ", "~/Views/Shared/{2}.mytheme" };
this.PartialViewLocationFormats = new string[] { "~/Views/{1}/{2}.mytheme ", "~/Views/Shared/{2}. mytheme " };
}
protected override IView CreatePartialView(ControllerContext controllerContext, string partialPath)
{
var physicalpath = controllerContext.HttpContext.Server.MapPath(partialPath);
return new RazorView(controllerContext, physicalpath);
}
protected override IView CreateView(ControllerContext controllerContext, string viewPath, string masterPath)
{
var physicalpath = controllerContext.HttpContext.Server.MapPath(viewPath);
return new RazorView(controllerContext, physicalpath);
}
}
In there you can return a RazorView or WebFormView and set your desired path for the view to use.
