How can I add new tab in CMSDesk -> content -> Page
position is showing in below image in red section.
I was trying to add this by adding new element in Development -> Modules -> user interface section.
but not getting module name for this section.
Any help is appreciate.
Thanks
I will presume you are using Kentico CMS v7. (The situation is different in v6.)
If I understand it correctly you want to add one more level of tabs UNDER Page tab. It is possible although I strongly don't recommend it. I would rather add a tab NEXT to Page, Design etc. by simply adding UI element CMSSitemanager->Development->Modules->Content->User Interface->Content->View mode->Edit. But if you want answer to you question I will provide you with it :) You will need to customize logic in
CMSDeskPage.GetDocumentPageUrlInternal(...)
The code file is located at CMSSolution\UIControls\Pages\CMSDesk\CMSDeskPage.cs
There is a switch with case "edit" - this is the place determining which page will be displayed under the Page tab. You will have to create one more layer of pages (frameset with tabs and content). You will also have to create JavaScript layer to ensure proper communication between frames. (Scripts I'm talking about are: tree.js, contenteditframeset.js, content.js, splitview.js).
Once again - use the UI Elements version mentioned above :)

In our current application there is a new requirement of our client.As they told that they need n numbers of forms at different stages of their business and those are changing time to time. Even a new forms can be added. Their requirement is once the product is delivered to them they will not come back to us again and again for each change and will create those form by their own.
Simply they want a user interface where they can create the form by drag and drop manner.
What they want :
In our application there will be a form building section where a non technical person can be able to create a form.
Mapping the controls with existing data of their existing database so that the form is populated with the corresponding data ( data will be inserted into the database using another user interface).
Once the data is populated they will take the print out of the filled up form and will proceed as per their business flow.
As they introduce new form time to time we can't provide any predefined template to them and they are not agree to design the form in HTML.
Is there any way of doing this in Asp.Net MVC (without using any CMS ).
there are a number of asp.net forms builders. And I been wanting to build my own for years. (you store the control, the location etc in a database, or even as xml, and then on page load, read the xml, and crank out the controls and layout into the page. We all built these for desktop, and you can do the same for the web.
The open source evolutility project has a FANTASTIC system for this, but it does NOT include the GUI part. But, it would be a good start. You would have to build the GUI part, but the rendering part, and save of the forms layout is all done for you. So, your forms builder would offer a set of controls to drop and move around in the form. When you save, you would have a corresponding "xml" markup bit that you save to the one "forms layout" file. On forms load, you read that xml file and produce the form (that's the part evolutility does for you). So, you need the part that has each control in a tool box (along with the xml for that control). you drop control into form, and add the xml to the "form layout in xml".
As I stated, evolutility has all the parts to render forms and layout and place controls on the final finished form for display - it just don't have a GUI for doing this part.
You can look at the project here:
http://evolutility.com/
there are others. But, it really depends on how complex of a form builder or content builder you wish to make.
But, a xml, or json based layout and definition of the controls placed on a page is a good start. You could store such "layout" information in a database. Heck have a classic master to child table, and thus save each control in evolutiity format, and simple append then all together, and then have evolutility render that xml into a working form for you.
I don't know of a open source project that combines both the "layout" and "define" of the controls AND ALSO has a GUI to build the forms. But, to be fair, the hard part (how to layout, and how to have each control defined in some json (or xml) is done for you.
In short, im creating a Visual Studio extension in c# that enables non-automation testers to create automation scripts for web based solutions (using selenium).
We've created a template already for users that lays out the project file structure (test runners etc) and im using windows forms toolbox controls to create the dialogue windows where they will enter things like URls, Xpaths, page names etc etc
My question is this;
How on earth do i go about creating .CS files dynamically based on their inputs in these toolbox windows?
The simplest (he says) window i have is one that simply allows them to enter a URl and a webpage name. When they click the 'ok' button on this window, it should create a new .CS file with the webpage name as the class name, the url as a string that the webdriver can use to kick off the test and a few other bits and pieces as a template for them to start adding web elements to.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, there seems to be precious little around the web about creating VS extensions!
You got a few options here.
Typically, most people would do this by implementing a custom project item template, along with a custom IWizard based wizard associated with your template.
If you are displaying a modal UI from your IWizard.RunStarted, you can simply populate the ReplacementsDictionary with the text gleaned from your custom UI, which would then be swapped for the tokens in your templatized .cs file.
Or you could programmatically add code to the file after it was generated and added to the project (admittedly a much uglier and more difficult to code).
And finally, you could just generate the file in the project directory, and programmatically add it after the fact.
There's a number of old blog articles from the archived VSX Arcana blog that you might also find helpful.
I am new in DotnetNuke. So, first of all I don't know all terminology. My problem is content of Webform.aspx doesn't display in Module.
Let me describe the steps so it can be easy to track the missing steps if any.
1- Created a project of DotnetNuke 7 C# Compiled Module. Path:
F:\website\dnndev.me\desktopmodules\DNNModule2
2- Added a WebForm1.aspx and add a line "Hello World"
3- Build project, DNNModule2_00.00.01_Install.zip is generated in
F:\websites\dnndev.me\DesktopModules\DNNModule2\DNNModule2\install
4- Added extension in http://www.dnndev.me/Admin/Extensions. It added
successfully in Modules.
5- Created New Page and added DNNModule2 by drag and drop. But it
doesn't display content "Hello World" of WebForm1.aspx.
Do I need to set any property while I am adding Module in New WebPage?
Also suggest if my flow is wrong. I will be happy to improve.
Thanks
For a DNN module to work properly you need to work with an .ascx user control. Typically these will inherit from the PortalModuleBase class. There are a few options, but that is the most common.
.aspx pages themselves can exist in DNN, however, they are ONLY available if you access them directly, and not through the module process.
Your user control, when setup should be part of the .dnn manifest and referenced with a <controlkey/> value. (As in no control key defined, to be the default view of your module.)
If you are not using a template, this one is a great example.
I'm very newer developing .NET web applications. Before read, I'm so sorry if I'm not able to explain correctly or if I'm confusing about something of .NET. Hope all of you can give me some light in .NET environment.
Context: We have two different solutions because the original idea was to develop two different applications with no common pages or content between them. Now, we need to have one of the aspx page that is in the solution1 inside the solution2 (and probably more in the future) because it's common between them.The idea is not to have two different maintenance of the same page. This two solutions have only one project inside them and each project has his own master page.
Solution1:
-Project1
Solution2:
-Project2
Question 1: Is it possible to import or use complete aspx page across the solutions? I mean, I know that is possible to import aspx files from the project1 into the project2, but doing this way, every change into the original aspx file of project1 means that is needed a new import into project2 (or this is what I think) to have the page up to date. What is the best way to share content between different solutions?
Thanks in advance.
You should be able to add the aspx page which exists in one solution (and version controlled hopefully!), to your other solution by adding it as a linked file.
MSDN explains how Visual Studio allows you to add an item as a link rather than directly adding the file to your project.
By linking to a file, you can capture ongoing changes to a source file without having to manually update a copy whenever changes are made. However, if the underlying file is deleted, the link will be broken.
To create a link to an existing item
In Solution Explorer, select the target project.
On the Project menu, select Add Existing Item.
In the Add Existing Item dialog box, locate and select the project
item you want to link.
From the Open button drop-down list, select Add As Link.

I am trying to design an orchard theme in which i need to attach some Content Part to MenuItem to add some extra info for that.I did the process of adding part as i do inside module ,but strangely enough my view didn't get displayed.after hour's of debugging i figured out that my part's editor shape (eg:Parts_MenuItemMetaPart_Edit) is added to ShapeTable of my frontend theme rather than admin theme(TheAdmin) and thus my attached part editor not displayed.so is there any possibility to create a content part from within theme?if yes, how ?
Just found this link : https://github.com/OrchardCMS/OrchardDoc/blob/master/Documentation/Add-Custom-Settings-to-your-Theme.markdown
from the link above :
... You may be wondering why we don’t just use a driver like we usually do for a parts editor template. This is due to the fact that to call the Editor method of your Driver and return a shape, you need to have specified in the Placement.info that you want to do that. Since this theme is not active in the admin section of Orchard, our themes Placement.info file is never run hence a Driver would never display anything...
So the solution is to add ActivatingFilter in ContentPartHandler like this :
Filters.Add(new ActivatingFilter<MyPart>("Site"));
