Check if .NET MVC Sitemap exists - asp.net-mvc

I am using
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12 breadcrumb" >
#Html.MvcSiteMap().SiteMapPath("")
</div>
</div>
to display the sitemap of current page. How do i check if the Sitemap exists for the Current page and then only display it?
like:
#if([Check Exists]){
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-12 breadcrumb" >
#Html.MvcSiteMap().SiteMapPath("")
</div>
</div>
}

By default, the SiteMapPath HTML helper already does this check. If there is no node that corresponds to the current request the SiteMap.CurrentNode property will be null. When that happens, no HTML will be output from the SiteMapPath HTML helper.
If that isn't good enough to cover your particular use case, you can use the built-in FilteredSiteMapNodeVisibilityProvider, a custom visibility provider, or security trimming to hide the nodes you don't want visible.
Failing that, you could create a custom partial view template for the SiteMapPath or create a custom HTML helper based on the SiteMapPath if nothing else meets your needs.

create relative links with Thymeleaf

I have the following code which loops through a list of countries and creates a href links
<div class="container" th:each="country: ${countryList}">
<a th:href="${country.countryAbbr}"><div clss="row" th:text="${country.country}"></div></a>
</div>
The current page url is "localhost:8080/directory", and the generated url is showing as
"localhost:8080/us"
How can I make the url show as "localhost:8080/directory/us"
I want "us" to be added to the current url of the page.
Try create the following code in your Controller class.
#RequestMapping(value="/", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String rootGet() {
return "redirect:/directory";
}
You can use ServletUriComponentsBuilder:
<div th:with="urlBuilder=${T(org.springframework.web.servlet.support.ServletUriComponentsBuilder)}"
class="container" th:each="country: ${countryList}">
<a th:href="${urlBuilder.fromCurrentRequest().path(${country.countryAbbr}).toUriString()}">
<div clss="row" th:text="${country.country}"></div>
</a>
</div>
Give a try to this one
<div class="container" th:each="country: ${countryList}">
<a th:href="#{${country.countryAbbr}}"><div clss="row" th:text="${country.country}"></div></a>
</div>
Using # usually resolves the default context but I am not aware of your environment.
For example, if you had Tomcat .war file, and your application would be hosted at localhost:8080/myApp, you would want result /myApp/us rather then /us. # would do that trick.
If above is not relevant for you, use this one:
<div class="container" th:each="country: ${countryList}">
<a th:href="#{'/directory/' + ${country.countryAbbr}}"><div clss="row" th:text="${country.country}"></div></a>
</div>

How can I inject templates into a view in ASP.NET MVC?

UPDATE:
More general question what is the way to make a higher-order composition of views? The same way you pass a delegate into a method.
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
I have a page view and a control as a partial view. From the page view I render the control using Html.Partal("MyControl", myControlModel). Now this control has some areas that I wish were customizable from the page view. So that if the control is rendered from a different page these areas are filled with different content. Basically what I am looking for is a way to inject a piece of HTML from the page view into a partial view. Can I do it in MVC? If so, how?
Example:
Page view:
<div class="page">
#Html.Partial("MyControl", myControlModel, #<text>My <b>custom</b> piece of HTML which is different for each page<text>)
</div>
My control view:
<div class="my-control">
<div class="common-part-for-all-pages">
#Model.Value
</div>
<div class="part-that-has-to-be-customized">
#* there must be a piece of HTML provided somehow from the page view *#
</div>
</div>
Expected result:
<div class="page>
<div class="my-control">
<div class="common-part-for-all-pages">
#Model.Value
</div>
<div class="part-that-has-to-be-customized">
My <b>custom</b> piece of HTML which is different for each page
</div>
</div>
</div>
Add new properties to the viewmodel of the partial: "TemplateName" and "TemplateModel". Then do
<div class="my-control">
<div class="common-part-for-all-pages">
#Model.Value
</div>
<div class="part that has to be customized">
#Html.Partial(Model.TemplateName, Model.TemplateModel)
</div>
</div>
Or you could just add a string property "Template" and do
<div class="my-control">
<div class="common-part-for-all-pages">
#Model.Value
</div>
<div class="part that has to be customized">
#Html.Raw(Model.Template)
</div>
</div>
Call it like this
#{
// just set the property
myControlModel.Template = "some html";
myControlModel.Template = Html.TextBox(/*...*/).ToString();
myControlModel.Template = Template("hello").ToString();
}
#Html.Partial("MyControl", myControlModel)
#helper Template(string text)
{
<span>#text</span>
}
ToString() isn't necessary if MvcHtmlString type is used.
You'd need to create controller actions for this, but you can use #Html.Action("MyAction", "MyController", myModelObject) and pass any parameters from the page to partial view in the myModelObject parameter. It can be a bit of overkill but if your control/partial view needs to do any special C# code then this way works pretty well.
Make a class PartialModel, give it two properties string Name and object Model, then use #Html.Partial(pm.Name, pm.Model) in your partial view.
If you want to put different HTML inside every time, the above won't work, so read on.
You can use something similar to Html.BeginForm:
#using (Html.BeginMyContainer())
{
<h3>Hi!</h3>
<p>This is some custom content.</p>
}
(This would be a BeginMyContainer extension method on the HtmlHelper class.)
Your Html.BeginMyContainer method should return a class inheriting from MvcForm, which is IDisposable. In the BeginMyContainer method you'll write whatever HTML comes before the custom content of your container, and in the Dispose method of the returned MvcForm you'll write whatever HTML comes after your custom content.
When Razor processes the code I have above, it will:
Run the BeginMyContainer method at the start of the using statement, writing whatever HTML comes before the custom content
Write the HTML custom content inside of the using statement
Call Dispose on the MvcForm at the end of the using statement, writing whatever HTML comes before the custom content

dont display div data not provided

I am working with mvc4 and displaying data from my model in to cshtml views.
When setting data in to the markup, I adding it in to div tags.
Is there a way in mvc that if the model property is not set, dont display the div?
Sample of my markup
<div class="myclass"> #Model.Text </div>
You can test for a value being set like so:
#if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(Model.Text))
{
<div class="myclass"> #Model.Text </div>
}
Update: If you want to incorporate the logic for whether or not to render an element based on its value, you could create a Custom HTML Helper method.
How about wrapping it in a null check
#{
if (#Model.Text != null)
{
<div class="myclass"> #Model.Text </div>
}
}

ASP.Net MVC form field automatically gets populated with another model field value

I have one Asp.net MVC3 page which renders details of a Mobile. This page also hosts a comment form which is rendered using Comment model. One field named Name i.e Mobile.Name and Comment.Name is common in both the models.
In the final output I always see Comment.Name text box filled with the value of Mobile.Name. Not sure why this is happening.
Exact problem can be seen at below link.. check the comments tab
problem url
Edit
Comment form is rendered using a partial view which is something like below :
#using (Ajax.BeginForm("Savecomment", new AjaxOptions() { UpdateTargetId = "FormContainer" , OnSuccess = "$.validator.unobtrusive.parse('form');" }))
{
#Html.HiddenFor(m => m.MobileId)
<div class="row">
<div class="five columns">
<label >Your name:</label>
#Html.TextBox("Name"," ")
#Html.ValidationMessage("Name")
</div>
</div>
Your problem is more than likely related to how you are rendering you Partial View. I am assuming you have a parent model that contains both Mobile and Comment? You are passing the Comment model to the Partial View? Because of this, the partial view is rendering the name of the field as if it were the primary model.
I would suggest using an EditorTemplate to render your Comment and Mobile rather than partial views. Editor Templates are more aware of their context than Partial Views are.

Inserting HTML elements on rails view

I have a view with a bunch of elements in it.One of them (a div) is shown depending of a value that changes inside a select_tag (also within the same page).
I'm getting the selected ID from the select_tag element
$('#some_id').on('change',function(){
//$(this).val()
})
but then just don't know how to fetch the object and check for one of its properties and that way know if I should show the div or not?.
I thought of sending that id to the server...do whatever I need over there and then come back to the view and try something like this
<% if some_condition %>
<div>
...
</div>
<% end %>
This (of course) might not be the way.I'd be glad to understand how this happens
You way of doing it after getting some data from the server onChange of the select would work. You might also consider this approach.
But if you could pre-populate the divs and add a class or some other attribute it with which you could relate to the chosen option in the select field, then you can prevent the server call entirely.
<div class="opt1Val selectOptsDiv"> </div>
<div class="opt2Val selectOptsDiv"> </div>
<div class="opt3Val selectOptsDiv"> </div>
hide all these divs initially with css display: none;.
$('#some_id').on('change',function(){
var selectedOptionVal = $(this).find("option:selected).val();
$("." + selectedOptionVal).show();
})
But I guess you would be able to do this if the showing and hiding of the div's depend only on the selected option value and do not have to go through some other processing at the server end.
