I am trying to setup IIS-7 URL-rewrite to take userIDs from a database and re-write them to their username. For example:
www.website.com/account?id=112233
Needs to rewrite to www.website.com/useraccount
It needs to retrieve the username by doing a MySQL database lookup for that ID. Is something like this possible? Is there a guide somewhere online that I can reference?
Thanks!
I don't know whether IIS's rewriting can handle this, but it feels like too big a job for the rewrite module.
Consider sending the request to a script (using whatever server-side language the rest of your site is written in), having that script do the lookup, and doing a header redirect to the new location.

I am beginner in DNN. I am creating a module which provides Login, Dashboard and Add-Update Form. I have data in JSON format. I want to store it temparory while user use the website. Data will be destroy as soon as user will close the website.
Currently I have created a folder in my Solution Explorer of project in Visual Basic and created 3 .json files which stores login_info.json, basic_info.json and auth_info.json. I write json data whenever user login and I make it blank when user logout.
Above method is working fine now but I afraid it will work when I will publish this module.
Also I may have situation where I need to store image some where. I don't know how I will manage.
Can anybody please guide me?
Is this proper way to store data temparory in DNN?
Is there any other better way?
After getting one of reply for Database Suggestion
Is there any table which same as User Meta in DotnetNuke?
You use the ConnectionString that is used by DNN and access the database as you would normally.
DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.Config.GetConnectionString()
Or you can use the Data Access Layer that the DNN Framework supplies. For that take the Christoc Templates. In there is all you need to communicate with the DB.
Hi I am pretty new to wicket but I have been looking around for an example that show's how I can get data from a table in my database and then edit that data on a grid view in wicket and the changes being saved back to my database.
As you can see I tried doing it this way but it looks pretty bad and not very user friendly if the user has to go click edit every time to make a small change is there perhaps a better way to do this?
My goal is to make a time sheet where users will receive there specific time sheet when logging in and be able to edit is as they please like a excel time sheet almost.
Take a look at the 'library' example:
http://examples7x.wicket.apache.org/library/
Wicket is HTML presentation library. The buttons and form submits done in the wicket forms will trigger the logic that will modify your base.
You need a data access technology for this, its can be:
- an ORM like hibernate,
- a SQL generation library like JOOQs
- or you can write directly you hown SQL and pas it to database JDBC connection...
I want to create separate databases for different registrations.
First i was doing it via multiple sub-domain manually but now i want it to be automatic after registration when anyone sign up.
This is what am thinking to implement:
First i'll create a common database "user_databases" to just store "user email" and "user database name". So when any user login with his email then i will fetch its database name and then verify login password from users table of the fetched database.
But the problem is how will i achieve it?
Should i include the code in database.php of Config or in each model i use $useDbConfig (i don't want to use it due to some reasons)?
Are there any better methods for it? Am i thinking right to implement it?
Please help and guide.
database partitioning in cakephp is now a trivial task because of cake's event system. cakephp allows you to talk to its request and response objects early in the app startup process in form dispatch filters. markstory has written nicely about this http://mark-story.com/posts/view/using-cakephp-and-a-horizontally-sharded-database
I have the following problem:
I Am using a Django framework.
One of the parts in a system (non-django) writes to the database, in the same database that django is using.
I want to have a signal when an object is being saved. It's a django model object but not saved via django, but directly in the mysql database.
Is there a way django can watch save-actions in his database when it's not being saved by django?
The neatest way would be: create an Api, and let the save action run through this api. The save signal can than be django default. (but this depends on some work of externals... so not the prefered route... for future development it sure is).
Another option is to implement celery and create a task that frequently looks whether one of the saved objects has had no follow up..... (also quit some puzzling I guess to get this up and running)
But there might be an easier... for me unknown?
I saw django watchdog solutions for file systems... not for databases (probably because django has this build in... when properly done through django)
to complex it: I test and develop locally with sqlite .... but the save signal I can put in my tests without needing to get this locally working.... as long as it works in mysql, I Am happy.
You can try this solution:
Create a new table 'django_watch' with one column 'object_id' (add other columns like 'created_datetime' etc according to your standards);
Lets say your main table is 'object'. Add a mysql trigger for the INSERT event on this table.
You should add an extra insert query inside the trigger to insert the object_id into 'django_watch' table.
Now you can have a cronjob that will be inpecting the new table 'django_watch' (for updations in Django objects) and perform necessary actions. You can run this cronjob continuously with some 1 minute delay (upto you).
In the end, I wrote an api that can be called by the thirdparty module. I delivered the code to logon on django using c-code to this api and call the GET of this api. (using django rest framework). This api just saves the object (the id given in the url), and from there on it's default django. The only thing the third party had to do is build in my code to call the api as well....
Maybe not the best solution, but the best to implement for my problem....
I have a MySQL database, and few perl scripts using which i am generating the webpages.
On Html page links are available,
For example-
Customer_link => (calls customers.pl) query executed - select * from customers.
Now there is one more link say Customer_in_mumbai => it should remove all the customers whose city is not mumbai.
How to achieve that?
do i need to execute the query once again with where clause or any other way is also possible so that i can simply remove the customers whose city is not mumbai?
Also if i need to execute the query again, do i need to write one more perl file, if not how can i use the same file?
You can use Javascript to manipulate on the client side of things after it's been loaded/displayed. There's nothing you can do on the server side to change a page once it's been downloaded without Javascript.
The rest of your questions indicate a lack of familiary with how dynamic web pages are generated. You can have a single page that does all that, using standard HTTP query variables to modify how the script operates. e.g.
http://example.com/yourscript.pl?remove=mumbai
then have Perl retrieve that remove value and use it to modify how the database query runs. But showing you that is beyond the scope of this site - we're not here to teach you, just help fix problems.
From your question, it seems you only want to remove it from the page temporarily for the user. You can achieve that simply by remove rows with mumbai as a value with Javascript. That should save you server side processing. Use a Library like JQuery to achieve it easily.
