In Umbraco, i want to generate URL encoded string as it was a genuine Umbraco path.
So if i have the following relative path:
/products/4/drinking glass
I want it encoded like this:
/products/4/drinking-glass/
As it would if i used NiceUrl on a published content object.
Following the same rules as described in the request handler part of umbracoSettings.config.
Is there a way to do that?
I found the answer after searching a bit more.
Umbraco made an extension method for this purpose:
"drinking glass".ToUrlSegment()
Which provides a safe way to generate custom url encoded strings.

I'm trying to build an Href using Razor
The string is going to end up looking like this:
https://www.notmysite/controller/action?order_ID=xxxxxxx&hashComparator=iFxp3%2BszAMaEB%2FnHCtRr9Ulhv0DumtyDumCik4gKypJqi0BdOGXXsr9QDkfefAsLaR1Xy%2BrX9VcuzP1pF2k6dL%2F92UxphzTKqNAZP2SSZGWtvyO5az%2F9JvDY%2Bsq5TBQo7%2FYAAMIU4QxiSX1SBKk8SUNECW3ZmKM%3D
In my model I have the order id and the hash string
As the route is not a part of my site I don't believe I can use the default methods like #Url.Action
and therefore can't use protocol: Request.Url.Scheme
like I've used elsewhere.
So at present I'm trying to figure out how to create this using string functions
I've tried
Url.Encode
Url.EscapeDataString
Html.Encode
but am getting no where fast:
Click Here to be transferred
The output text always has plusses and equals in them and doesn't work.
Which combination do I need?!
I've figured out a way of doing it:
#{
var url = string.Format(
"https://www.notmysite.co.uk/controller/action?order_ID={0}&hashComparator={1}",
#Uri.EscapeDataString(Model.bookingNumber.ToString()),
#Uri.EscapeDataString(Model.hashCode));
}
<p>Click Here to be transferred</p>
Edit 2015 - As mentioned by Jerads post - The solution is to only encode the query string elements and not the whole URL - which is what the above does.
This was the first link that came up for this issue for me. The answers didn't work for me though because I am using core, I think. So wanted to add this in.
System.Net.WebUtility.UrlEncode(MyVariableName)
If Url.Encode doesn't work try the above. Also as stated before don't use this on the entire URL string, just use it for the individual querystring variables. Otherwise there is a good chance your URL wont work.
The problem is that you're trying to encode the whole URL. The only pieces you want to encode are the querystring values, and you can just use Url.Encode() for this.
You don't want to encode the address, the querystring params, or the ? and & delimiters, otherwise you'll end up with an address the browser can't parse.
Ultimately, it would look something like this:

The easier method is to use #Html.Raw(Model.SomethingUrl)
is there an API in blackberry that can validate URL ?
i'm using stupid method startsWith(http://)
and read the Index of the string to make sure it contain ".com/" and other strings to ensure it look like a validate URL.
but i feel like it's a stupid and long way to use.
is there any API that can make it easier ?
I'm looking for away to make it within blackberry APIs not external packages
In the API the only classes are:
URLTextFilter: Useful only to add it to a text field (Call EditField.setFilter). It will discard invalid chars.
URI: It lets you to validate a URI by calling URI.create. Of course, not all URIs are URLs, but URLs should be URIs.
I'd like to test whether the URL that the user inputs into my form is "proper", e.g. the following are proper:
http://www.google.com
www.google.com
www.google.com/
but the following probably shouldn't be:
google
http://www.go?ogle?#%
I don't have in mind what "proper" means, but is there some standard out there that I can use?
In HTML5 you can use the input element with the type value url: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/states-of-the-type-attribute.html#url-state-type-url. You'd need to check which browsers already implemented a validation for it, though. If it's important, you'd also need server-side validation, of course.
Here you can see what URLs are considered valid by HTML5: http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/urls.html#valid-url. It references RFC 3986 for URIs and RFC 3987 for IRIs.
You should probably have a look at RegEx for URL validation (see for example this question: PHP validation/regex for URL) or check if your library/programming-language/CMS has special functions for it.
I am writing a web app that has to deal with urls containing hash character ("#").
I am using MVC 1 with ASP.NET 3.5 (VS 2008).
My urls are like this one:
www.mysite.com/token/?name1=value1&#&name2=value2
My issue is that I cannot find a method to get the original URL, but only get the substring before the hash character:
www.mysite.com/token/?name1=value1&
I used the MVC methods provided from the class HttpRequestBase.
Anyone can suggest me an alternate method to get the entire url?
Thank you, this is my very first question!
PS: I think maybe I have to encode my hash character, isn'it?
You cannot access anything after the # from the server-side - this is all Client-side. You will need to find another way to pass the information you want through to the server.
If you are posting, you can do this with hidden fields. If you are using ajax posts, you can pass the data within the model.
I'm writing a restful XML API for a university assignment, the spec requires no HTML frontend.
There doesn't seem to be any documentation (or guessable functionality) regarding how to change the default format? Whilst thus far I have created all templates as ...Success.xml.php it would be easier to just use the regular ones and set this globally; I really expected this functionality to be configurable from YAML.. yet I have found some hard coded references to the HTML format.
The main issue I'm encountering is that part of the assessment is returning a 404 in a certain way (not as a 404 :/), but importantly it must always return XML, and the default setup of a missing route is a HTML 404 not XML (so it only works when I use forward404 from an action running via a XML route.
So in summary, is there a way to do this / what class(es) do I have to override?
Try putting this in factories.yml
all:
request:
class: sfWebRequest
param:
default_format: xml
That will still need the template names changing though. It will just mean that urls that don't specify a format will revert to xml instead of html.
You can subclass sfPHPView and override the initialise method to affect this (copy paste the initialise method from sfView) - the lines like this need changing:
if ('html' != $format)
You then need to change the view class used ... try this:
