OK I'm new to DotNetNuke and need to write a simple module in DNN that will display an article for everyone, and allow the admin to edit the article/add a new one.
I have a test page that contains a DNN module with one module definition and two controls in that definition. The default control shows the article based on an articleID field in the querystring. You then click a button that is supposed to load the edit control and pass the articleID in the query string.
If I use EditURL() in the onClick the edit control is loaded with the correct articleID, but using the admin skin. If I use Globals.NavigateURL() then the correct skin is shown but my edit control isn't loading in the page.
Any clue as to how to what I'm doing wrong or how to get the edit control loading with the correct skin?
My two methods of switching to the edit control (in my button click event) are listed below:
string newURL = this.EditUrl("articleID", Request.QueryString["articleID"], "EditArticle");
Response.Redirect(newURL);
and
string newURL = Globals.NavigateURL(this.TabId, "EditArticle","articleID="+Request.QueryString["articleID"]);
Response.Redirect(newURL);
Actually you are doing this correctly - the editurl in DNN does load the Admin skin - usually this skin is based on someone administering content so it strips out all other modules and shows the 'basics'. Right or wrong this is what it does.
If you dont want to to do that you could provide a switch in the querystring and show a seperate panel or do a multiview control and show different views based on the switch in the query string.
There are a few other approaches like changing the content area to editing text area with ajax or using popup modal style windows.

I just new to Xamarin.Form with Prism. I want to load the page in different behavior. The first one I achieve already is in image below.
But I want to do a behavior like below image. Load a new page outside master detail page. How can I do it in prism?
You have figured out how to display the "Hamburger" icon as well as title by doing the following.
NavigationService.NavigateAsync("MasterPage/NavigationPage/DetailsPage")
If a user makes a selection from the actions listed on the master page. For Example, let's say settings.
You have a couple of options here, you can do navigate relatively
NavigationService.NavigateAsync("Settings")
This will navigate to the settings page. This will also display the back button as the second image. Your current page path will be
MasterPage/NavigationPage/DetailsPage/Settings
Now let's say you want the settings page to be the top details page. You have to navigate to it via an absolute path.
MasterPage/NavigationPage/Settings
NavigationService.NavigateAsync("MasterPage/NavigationPage/Settings")
You need to add a new page to the stack, page over existing one. To do that you should do navigation like this:
navigationService.NavigateAsync("Settings")
We have a page(URL 2) which is embedded or loaded in Div element(Popup) of another page(master page) when a button is clicked on master page(URL 1).
I am not able to access the elements on this embedded page.
The firepath developer plugin shows, there are two objects (Top Window URL 1 and another with different URL 2). When I try to highlight any element with xpath locator on page 2 URL 2, its not successful as the object/document selected is Top Window. In order to access elements on page 2, the document needs to be changed.
Tried using SwitchTo method but no luck. The embedded page is niether loaded in a separate window nor in Iframe.
SwitchTo method can only be used if another window is opened or Iframe is present on page.
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions to change the document context so that all new commands are sent to this new page 2.
I am using C# bindings v2.53.
Thanks in advance.
Try to use:
driver.SwitchTo().Window(driver.WindowHandles.ToList().Last());
I got the problem and eventually answer to that.
Its really simple. Its simply working out with jquery.
{driver.executeScript("return $('body /deep/ <#yourSelector>')}
this piece of code simply draws the element from shadow DOM and which can be further used to simulate user actions... :)
Basically, I need to validate log-in on a child page which I've successfully done but now I'm required to edit a label on master page to show the Username of the user that successfully log in. This is basically a visual effect problem if you see it just like that but then I'm required to access the master page label from individual child page validate the username there with the table used for log-in and find out the permission status (admin or user), depending on the result activate or deactivate certain command buttons
My child log-in page is named :- Login.aspx
Master page :- Site.master
Master Label:- Label1
Codes I tried to use but they don't quite work
Master.FindControl("Label1").Visible=true;
Label lb=(Label)this.master.FindControl("Label1")
lb.visible=true
lb.text=UserName.text
Please help, I have been breaking my head for day to no avail got some good answers from here the past which I used hope to have the same luck
If you tell your master page to bind the label's value to HttpContext.User.Identity.Name, then you dont have to monkey around with anything in the child page.
In fact, I believe there's a built-in asp.net control for displaying the authentication status of a user.. though I could be wrong.
I am new to DNN and working with custom module in DNN, I have created one Module and then a tab in DNN and placed that custom module on the page. So far so good but now I want to popup that module in a modal popup similar to the login module, using DotNetNuke's UrlUtils class's PopUpUrl method, but it doesn't work and whole page is shown as normal page rather than a modal popup. The method I used is as follows:
1). I Created A Hyperlink and put it on my skin
2). on skin load i have written as follow
myLink.NavigateUrl = "http://www.abcd.com";
myLink.Attributes.Add("onclick","return" + UrlUtils.PopUpUrl(myLink.NavigateUrl, this, PortalSettings, true, false));
now on click of this hyperlink the page from "http://www.abcd.com" should be open in popup
but it does not work....am i missing something...OR there is another way of doing this...??
Your issue may be that there's no space between return and the pop-up URL in the onclick attribute.
Ok so while back I asked question Beginner ASP.net question handling url link
I wanted to handle case like this www.blah.com/blah.aspx?day=12&flow=true
I got my answer string r_flag = Request.QueryString["day"];
Then what I did is placed a code in Page_Load()
that basically takes these parameters and if they are not NULL, meaning that they were part of URL.
I filter results based on these parameters.
It works GREAT, happy times.... Except it does not work anymore once you try to go to the link using some other filter.
I have drop down box that allows you to select filters.
I have a button that once clicked should update these selections.
The problem is that Page_Load is called prior to Button_Clicked function and therefore I stay on the same page.
Any ideas how to handle this case.
Once again in case above was confusing.
So I can control behavior of my website by using URL, which I parse in Page_Load()
and using controls that are on the page.
If there is no query in URL it works great (controls) if there is it overrides controls.
Essentially I am trying to find a way how to ignore parsing of url when requests comes from clicking Generate button on the page.
Maybe you can put your querystring parsing code into IsPostBack control if Generate button is the control that only postbacks at your page.
if (!IsPostBack)
{
string r_flag = Request.QueryString["day"];
}
As an alternative way, at client side you can set a hidden field whenever user clicks the Generate button, then you can get it's value to determine if the user clicked the Generate button and then put your logic there.
