I am writing an e-commerce website using DotNetNuke, and I have ran into a problem. For example I have a module on a page that has a URL of mydomain/productType/product-pages. What I would like is to pass a query string to this page with the item number of product (lets say its name is bacon). And when page loads, I would like both the breadcrumbs and URL(at browser) to read mydomain/productType/product-pages/bacon. I have researched how to change the page title, meta description, and all that already and have tested and it works - but just cannot find a way to modify the URL. I don't even know if this is possible. My goal is to not create all the pages for products within DNN, because this will change over time. I'm pretty sure I can create a page within DNN each time page is passed the query string which is a possibility, and another possibility would be have my other module create the link like it should read(just no page created) and DNN would just land on product-pages just add the /bacon? But I would rather just spoof the URL if possible.
Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated, and Thanks for reading.
Below is code snippet for changing the title and description:
protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string pageName = Request.QueryString["pageName"];
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(pageName))
{
Page.Title = pageName;
Page.MetaDescription = "Blah";
Page.MetaKeywords = "Stuff,more stuff";
var url = HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl;
//Page.ResolveUrl(url + "/" + pageName);//this didnt work
//below is another way compared to top
//DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault myPage = new
DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault();
//myPage = (CDefault)this.Page;
//myPage.Title = "This is the new title";
}
}
The best way to manipulate the URLs for your custom module is by building a Extension URL provider. But you need to reverse your thinking about the problem. You don't want an ugly URL with a querystring argument to change into another URL. Rather, you start with the desired URL path and you want that to resolve or be "written" as the ugly querystring URL under the covers. That's what a Extension URL provider does.
I have a tutorial on DNNHero.com that walks you through it.
https://www.dnnhero.com/video/introduction-and-url-rewriting-basics
Unfortunately, that video is behind a paywall. (IMHO, it is worth the cost even for this one tutorial and code.)

I have one url (/settings) that needs to point to two different pages depending on the users security on login. One page is the existing webforms page the other is a new MVC page. Is this even possible?
Additional Info:
When the user is on either page the url needs to say website.com/settings
Solution:
Convinced the PM to change the requirements.
The short answer, yes. You can do this several ways.
Javascript
Model View Controller (Controller)
ASP.NET Web-Forms (Method)
It is often poor practice to do such an event, as it can expose data. It is indeed possible:
Javascript:
$(document).ready(function () {
if($("#Account").val() != '') {
$(".Url").attr('href', 'http://www.google.com');
}
});
Pretend #Account is a hidden field that is populated from your database. If the field is not null then modify the .Url element to navigate to link. That approach for Web-Forms is the most simple.
Web-Forms:
protected void btnAccount_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if(User.IsInRole("Account"))
Response.Redirect("~/Admin.aspx");
else
Response.Redirect("~/User.aspx");
}
That would use the default Windows Authentication for the domain, you could bend and contort to use the database to pull data. An example, the Model View Controller would be similar as the Controller will simply handle that capability.
Hope this points in right direction.
This is a redirects based approach. Create a web page mapped to /settings, and have this code run on page load.
if(User.IsAdministrator()) //I take it you have some way of determining who is an Admin, so this is just example code
{
Response.Redirect("~/AdminSettings.aspx");
}
else
{
Response.Redirect("~/UserSettings.aspx");
}
Note that you'll need security on the Admin page to make sure a regular user can't just navigate directly there.
I am working on one application it's like twitter.
So how can I accomplish the url such as,
twitter.com/username
This will open profile related to username.
I am creating using asp.net.
Thank you
If you are planning on using MVC Razor, it will be as simple as passing a query string parameter to your page. For example:
public ActionResult Index(string name)
{
//Get user information and pass to view
User userDetails = SomeLogic.GetUser(name);
return View(userDetails);
}
Or, if using ASP.NET Web Forms you will have to use Friendly URL's by adding a Nuget package. Tutorial can be found here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/southasiamvp/archive/2014/03/31/guest-post-exploring-asp-net-friendlyurls.aspx
In the grand scheme of things, all you need to do is pass a query string parameter to your page. Using the friendly URL's will help you accomplish the URL format you require.
Update
From your comment, I see you are using Web Forms, so I will modify the answer on getting a query string value. The code below won't render URL in a friendly format, but I am hoping you will then be able to modify the example based on the link I provided above.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (Request.QueryString["name"] != null && !String.IsNullOrEmpty(Request.QueryString["name"].ToString())
{
string myNameValue = Request.QueryString["name"].ToString();
//Since you have the name in the querystring, pass value to method that retrieves the record
User userDetails = SomeLogic.GetUser(name);
}
}
So the URL will be: profile.com/profile.aspx?name=John.
But as I stated, you will need to modify the code to change the example to use Friendly URL's, that can be found in this tutorial: http://blogs.technet.com/b/southasiamvp/archive/2014/03/31/guest-post-exploring-asp-net-friendlyurls.aspx
How can I inject a JavaScript code from asp.net page into html page in another domain e.g http://www.codeproject.com/ . how to inject a JavaScript into this html page from my application
I am currently working on making a plugin just like Pinterest when the html page opens from my application it shows a bookmarklet just like Pinterest automatically on the page.
Below is the code I am using to inject JavaScript
public partial class ViewPage : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
string script = "javascript:(function(){var jsdom = document.createElement('script');jsdom.src = 'http://localhost:15064/Script/delete.js';document.body.appendChild(jsdom);})();";
Response.Redirect(Server.UrlEncode(script));
}
}
Below is the Error I get After the execution of above code
Same Original Policy will not allow you to run scripts in someone else's domain.If this did not exist anyone could run scripts in any domain which would be a major security risk.
There are a couple *legal exceptions to this rule which you can read below
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Same-origin_policy
The only other way to accomplish outside of an agreement with both sides would be a violation of Same Origin and probably illegal.
Xss attacks are pretty common and do what you are describing.
The closest you will probably be able to get is a bookmarklet:
http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/javascript-bookmarklet-basics/
which is basically a shortcut to inline javascript.
An example in the wild is the X-Ray Goggles bookmarklet. You can add it by creating a new bookmark and pasting the location as:
javascript:(function(){var script=document.createElement('script');script.src='https://goggles.webmaker.org/en-US/webxray.js';script.className='webxray';script.setAttribute('data-lang','en-US');script.setAttribute('data-baseuri','https://goggles.webmaker.org/en-US');document.body.appendChild(script);})();
This won't let you inject from your application but it is a way of injecting into a doc from your browser.
Currently trying to augment the search of an existing ASP.NET site. My background is Java, so if I was writing a server in Java, I could just handle the incoming request as a string and parse it however I wanted, taking out the search terms, etc.
What part of ASP handles that? Where should I be looking for where the incoming string is taken apart to handle the search request? There is a search button which redirects the page to a URL which includes the search parameters. That's where the trail goes cold for me as I need to know where it comes back into the server.
For example, once you've vetted the search term it gets submitted like this:
Response.Redirect("~/shop?" + type + "=" + searchBoxContent);
'type' is the type of search so that could be based on brand or searching within the product description, etc.
The site is already using some type of url rewriting as the url doesn't show up with any .aspx when you do a search. Should I be looking in a config file or a .master.cs file or where to point me in the right direction?
The easiest system for this is ASP.NET MVC which has a built-in Route and parameter handler.
See MSDN for docs.
Example:
{controller}/{action}/{id}
Can redirect to a Controller action:
public ActionResult Find(int id)
{ ... }
If this is not what you want, take a look at this blog article of Scott Guthrie on URL rewriting.
If you have a URL like this:
/shop.aspx?type=abc
then you can use Request.QueryString the get the value of type. This is the syntax:
Request.QueryString["type"]
For example if you want to get the value when /shop.aspx?type=abc is loaded at the first time, then you should add this code in Page_Load method inside the code behind (shop.aspx.cs):
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (!IsPostBack)
{
// assign 'type' query string to typeOfSearch
string typeOfSearch = Request.QueryString["type"];
}
}
Response.Redirect("~/CustomList.aspx?id="+Data.Item1+"&type="+Data.Item2);
I am adding this from Codebehind Asp.net
However it isn't working
Getting this Error
This page can't be displayed
•Make sure the web address http://localhost:51955 is correct.
•Look for the page with your search engine.
•Refresh the page in a few minutes.
Could you try something like this ?
string parameter1 = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Data.Item1)
string parameter2 = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(Data.Item2)
Response.Redirect("~/CustomList.aspx?id="+parameter1 +"&type="+parameter2 );
And make sure that page is in the root of your project, is this page is in another project, you will need to change the port in the URL. Localhost:port/CustomList.aspx
