So the below code works perfectly fine for the front-end however always returns null/0 in the back-office when rendered within the grid.
This code is within a custom grid editor.
int pageid = Convert.ToInt32(UmbracoContext.Current.PageId);
How can I make it work from backoffice to?
Just in case anyone needs the answer I used the following:
var currentcontent = Lecoati.LeBlender.Extension.Helper.GetCurrentContent();
Answer was found on an Umbraco forum post which you can find here.

This has been asked before but I'm going to be more precise with my question to hopefully get a better answer:
I have figured out how to add views to the PageNames class:
public const string WorkOrders = "WorkOrders";
and then to the projectNavigationProvider class to get them in to the navbar:
.AddItem(
new MenuItemDefinition(
PageNames.WorkOrders,
L("WorkOrders"),
url: "WorkOrders",
icon: "business",
requiredPermissionName: PermissionNames.Pages_WorkOrders
)
To get my main views added to the main navbar and working properly.
However, I have not figured out how to create a totally new menu to be used elsewhere. In the app I'm working on we have several pages that display all of the records in a particular table, Work Orders for example. But each record in each table should have several links to other pages for create, edit, details and delete.
One of my partners seems to have solved this problem on other pages by using modals and ajax calls to the controllers endpoints. It works fine for the Customers, which only require name and contact info., but I don't think a modal will work for creating, viewing or editing a Work Order becuse it requires adding line items and the associated data for each one of them etc... There's a lot to it. Lastly, it doesn't seem like the template is set up to be used that was as he wrote a lot of his own js to get it working.
Currently, the create, edit, and details views exist and I have links to them next to each record but I get errors when I try to use the link. Maybe I don't understand how the routing works? In the normal mvc template from VS the links have properties for specifying the controller and method and mvc handles the rest.
<a asp-action="Edit" asp-route-id="#item.WorkOrderID">Edit</a> |
<a asp-action="Details" asp-route-id="#item.WorkOrderID">Details</a> |
<a asp-action="Delete" asp-route-id="#item.WorkOrderID">Delete</a>
I'm getting the same error I had when trying to get the Work Orders page to load but had not added it to pagenames or navigationprovider, which makes me thing I just need to add the links to the navigationprovider class but I don't want a link the the WordOrders create page on the main menu, I want it on a mini menu next to the corresponding record. I have added the page to the pagenames class but am not sure how to create a separate menu for my main page.
public const string CreateWorkOrders = "CreateWorkOrders";
In reviewing the navigationprovider class I see:
context.Manager.MainMenu
and I'm thinking I must be able to create another menu and add items to it like this:
context.Manager.NewMenu.AddItem(....
but it looks like MainMenu is referenced in a class that I can't find or edit. Should I be creating another class defining the NewMenu so I would be able to configure it in the existing navigationprovider class or should I be creating a separate navigationprovider class for it?
Hopefully I've convinced everyone who looks at this that I have done plenty of research before reaching out for help. Even a link to some more detailed documentation would helpful.
You can add a new menu like this:
context.Manager.Menus.Add(WorkOrders, new MenuDefinition(WorkOrders, L(WorkOrders)));
Usage:
context.Manager.Menus[WorkOrders].AddItem(...)
I am using ASP.NET MVC with Kendo UI. I want to export grid to an HTML page and print it. Online help is not available. What have your done previously. Thanks in advance.
Did you find a solution to this? I'm looking at the same thing currently and have found a couple of options:
Firstly Telerik have a Javascript example which renders your grid to a new print window, see https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/data-management/grid/print-export
Just alter the name of
var gridElement = $('#grid'),
to your own existing grid name and omit the function:
$(function () {
var grid = $('#grid').kendoGrid({
...
};
};
However, this only renders what is currently displayed on screen (so if your grid has multi pages it may not be suitable).
The second option that I'm exploring is exporting to pdf (and then user can then print that if they wish). There are example of this at
https://demos.telerik.com/aspnet-mvc/grid/pdf-export and https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/controls/data-management/grid/pdf-export
This does have multi-page printing support (although I haven't got it to work just yet, they have examples which show it working). They do mention potential problems if you have a lot of data as it needs to load all the data on the client side (even if you have paging). There are some example projects to work on data server side in the above links.
In the end our requirements didn't need the paging but I've gone with the pdf option as that delivers quite a nice layout that you can template further.
I am new to MVC . I am creating a bookstore webpage application using aspx, and mvc. I have a database of books that says available or sold out. When a user clicks a dropdownlist they choose a book, it shows an image next to the book that is either supposed to show a green check mark if it is available or a red X if its not available. That information is all pulled from a database. My question is how do I change the image once a book becomes available. By the way my images are stored in my Content folder under imgs.
I have been searching for a while and haven't found a good answer. Any help or any websites you can suggest would be great thanks.
My image says this
<asp: Image ID = "Book_Availability" runat = "server" />
-----------Update----
When I mean change, I mean change the ImageURL so that it points to a different picture. On the server side I have value of 0 or 1. When I get a 1 i want to update the image URL to point to a different ImageURL from the controller, so that its from a X to a check mark. I am not sure how to accomplish this using MVC
Check out this link on Razor syntax. You could achieve what describe with something like:
#{
string availableImage = Url.Content("~/Images/availableImage");
string unavailableImage = Url.Content("~/Images/unavailableImage");
}
<img src= "#(Model.IsAvailable ? availableImage : unavailableImage)" alt="" />
You could perhaps add an click event handler onto the dropdown using jQuery. This could in turn do a $("#myimagewrapperexample").load() event against an action on some controller i.e BooksController
The action could return a partial view containing the books current image for example. Or it could return true, false depending on the books availability and you toggle the image in your javascript. All the action would need to be passed would be the id of the book and you could then look it up to determine it's status.
I've never used asp tags in a MVC project so can't comment on your usage there. AlexC suggestion of looking into the Razor syntax if your using MVC 3 is a good idea. Otherwise you might want to look into creating views using MVC 2. This Microsoft link might help you out on that front.
How to add FCKEditor in MVC application?
How to show database value comes in model, in FCKEditor?
That CodeProject website isn't ideal. It asks you to do alot of unneccessary code. All you really need to do is include the correct javascript file:
Then, in the page, render the FCKEditor, given any number of different ways. I prefer to replace a text area:
window.onload = function()
{
var oFCKeditor = new FCKeditor( 'content' ) ;
oFCKeditor.ReplaceTextarea() ;
}
At that point, the editor should load just fine. You will probably need to edit the fckeditor configuration files to get the standardized behavior you want. At this point, however, everything should just work. Your FCKEditor instance will behave just like another form field, and you can treat it as such when you get values from it on the server side.
It's very easy to create the server side api's for it to use as well. I created an fckeditor control, and you just need to implement GetFolders, GetFoldersAndFiles, and GetFiles. Those only take a few lines and give you nearly all the functionality you need.
I think it's easier to integrate / customize fckeditor using MVC than it is on Classic ASP.NET.
I have searched the forum, and google for this topic. Most of the articles are talking about using JSON to call the controller/action on the server and do ajax effect on the result.
I am trying to use some very basic JQuery features, like the JQuery UI/Tabs, and JQuery UI/Block for a dialog window. I cannot get these simple samples to work in my MVC project. Any ideas how I should modify these samples? I only need these basic feature now and I can go from here.
Thanks!
Actually I just got it working. The problem is that I need to modify the path to an absolute path to the view page because the relative path doesn't work with the MVC routes {controller}/{action}/{id}.
Thanks!
For info, re the relative path issue - I discussed this here (the same concept applies to any page, not just master pages). The approach I used is like so:
1: declare an extension method for adding scripts:
public static string Script(this HtmlHelper html, string path)
{
var filePath = VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(path);
return "<script type=\"text/javascript\" src=\"" + filePath + "\"></script>";
}
2: when needed (for example in the <head>...</head>) use this method:
<%=Html.Script("~/Scripts/jquery-1.2.6.js")%>
The advantage of this is that it will work even if the web app is hosted in a virtual directory (i.e. you can't use "/Scripts" because you aren't necessarily at the site root) - yet it is a lot clearer (and less messy) than the full script with munged src, i.e.
<script ... src="<%=Url.Foo(...)%>"></script>
I just implemented the jquery autocomplete textbox in one of my asp.net project. I only had to import the js file and drop some code into my aspx page. Could you be more detailled about what sample you are trying to run?
This is quick response!!
I am trying to run this "Simple Tabs" on this page:
http://stilbuero.de/jquery/tabs/
I think it is the same with this one: http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Tabs
I just copied and pasted the whole thing into my MVC view page, with corrected path to the jquery.js and .css files, but the content in the tabs all show up together (two of them are supposed to be hidden). My understanding is that this simple jquery plugin just show and hide content.
I had the exact same problem with the jquery thickbox plugin, that the item marked as "hidden" (the dialog box) will always show up in my MVC view page.
I can understand some of the MVC+Jquery+json articles, but I don't understand why the hide/show doesn't work.
Thanks!
I just made a walkthrough on how to do this:
