I am writing an Orchard CMS module within a multi-tenant application.
I would like to be able to access the settings declared when the tenant was set up, namely the DB table prefix which i'd like to use as a unique identifier for the current tenant in other areas of my system.
Is there an API/Helper I can query for these settings?
Cheers.
Get the site item from the work context. It has all the settings as parts. For the table prefix specifically it's a little different: you need to inject ShellSettings. But I would question the need to do that first...
I have found this, if it helps:
private readonly ISiteService _siteService;
public MyController(ISiteService siteService)
{
_siteService = siteService;
}
public void MethodExample(){
var myVar = _siteService.GetSiteSettings().BaseUrl;
}

I'm working on MVC 3 and using resource files to localize the application. Now we have another customer on board for the application and they would like to change some of the text on the application..typical.
I have create a separated resource file for them and would like to do something like this in views
if (customer =A )
#using Resources.customerA
else
#using Resources.customerB
I've a resource class in both namespaces so something like this works fine if I change the namespace
Resource.WelcomeUser
Is it possible to use conditional using statement in views? I'm unable to find the right syntax for this. Any ideas?
You can put both using statements in View, but when you use classes you would have to write some namespace prefix.
Example:
#using Project.Resources.customerA
#using Project.Resources.customerB
using classes:
customerA.WelcomeUser
customerB.WelcomeUser
I think there is no other way, because two files cannot have the same path.
What you're really talking about is the provider pattern. You have two (or more) interchangeable things, and you want to be able to use one or the other contextually.
The correct way to do this in an OO context is to create and use an interface, while then injecting the actual implementation you want at runtime. You can actually achieve this in ASP.NET Core, which supports injection in Views, but in ASP.NET MVC 5 and previous, you'd need to go a little out of your way. I'm imagining these are currently static classes, since you're referencing them merely via namespace. With that approach, you'd need to follow #Ssheverdin's advice and use the FQN of the class (i.e. with the namespace):
#if (customer == A)
{
#Resources.customerA.StaticClass.Property
}
else
{
#Resources.customerB.StaticClass.Property
}
Alternatively, you could change the static classes to be instance classes and use a factory pattern to return the right one. This is a very simplistic example, but hopefully enough to convey the idea:
public static class ResourceFactory
{
public static IResourceClass GetForCustomer(string customer)
{
switch (customer)
{
case "A":
return new Resources.customerA.ResourceClass();
default:
return new Resources.customerB.ResourceClass();
}
}
Then:
#{ var resource = ResourceFactory.GetForCustomer(customer); }
I have managed to achieve the behaviour by adding a web.config file under views folder and including the namespaces there, i have to remove the #using statement from all views obviously. You might find that intellisense doesn't work anymore for you so try closing all views and reopen them again.
With this way I can create a separate web.config file for each customer and specify the relevant namespaces accordingly. Now just have to make sure to provide the RIGHT config file for each customer when deploying the release:)
I try to create a Universal Windows App which has a main window containing different views.
ContentFrame.Navigate(typeof(SimplePage));
where ContentFrame is a XAML Frame and SimplePage is a view.
The project has two localisations. Therefore I created a folder Strings in the solution containing two folders, en and de, containing each a Resources.resw file.
I want to use a string from the resw-file inside the SimplePage-view. Therefore I tried:
tbSimpleInput1.Text = ResourceManager.Current.MainResourceMap.GetValue("Resources/dataToolDiameter", ResourceContext.GetForCurrentView()).ValueAsString;
I also tried using ResourceContext.GetForViewIndependentUse() instead of ResourceContext.GetForCurrentView() but I always get a NullReferenceException when trying to debug.
What is the correct way to access the resources in different views?
Here a screenshot of the solution in Visual Studio:
If you're having a single-project solution, I'd recommend you either to create a Shell - as the Microsoft example recommends, or to use the App.xaml.cs class for localization purposes.
First, in the constructor of either class, get the current ResourceLoader:
// E.g use the static constructor of your App class
static App()
{
_resourceLoader = new ResourceLoader();
}
Now getting a resource (e.g. a text) is very easy:
public static string GetLocalizedString(string key)
{
return _resourceLoader.GetString(key);
}
Now you can load a string form the default resource dictionary:
tbSimpleInput1.Text = App.GetLocalizedString("dataToolDiameter");
Please note: this only works as long as you use the default pattern for localization in your project. If you use different resource files, you'd have use an overload of the ResourceLoader constructor.
I have created a dotnetnuke module, it has multiple controls wrapped in a single moduleNow i want to access the settings variable across module, say for example i have a setting for dateformat, now the dateformat user selects should be used throughout moduleIt works fine with the view control which comes by default with Dotnetnuke (ChrisToc Template)But when i add new control it does not works, i also added proper inherits, it never throws compile error (in case it does not gets proper namespace)
Below is the code i am using:
public partial class ViewEntry : WireModuleBase
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write("SETTINGS: " + Settings["WireDateFormat"]);
}
}
Any help will be appreciated
I don't ever use the Setting dictionary in my module views. First, it leaves you open to code errors by having to hardcode the key string when accessing the setting. Second, it makes it hard to share with you business logic or other views. My preferred pattern for settings is to create an interface and class for my settings that provides class attribute for my settings and performs the plumbing calls to DNN core to get and set those settings.
Follow this link to a Codeplex project where you will find a class SettingsRepository and ISettingsRepository interface.
Once you modified the public properties for your settings (ie: WireDateFormat) into the class and interface, you can then use it in your module settings implementation.
Get the setting:
ISettingsRepository settingsCtrl = new SettingsRepository(this.ModuleId, this.TabModuleId);
txtSetting1.Text = settingsCtrl.Setting1;
Write the setting
ISettingsRepository settingsCtrl = new SettingsRepository(this.ModuleId, this.TabModuleId);
settingsCtrl.Setting1 = txtSetting1.Text;
Once the settings is stored (in this case using the TabModuleId, but you can use the ModuleID constructor overload if you want to share the setting across modules on a page), you can use the same "get" code in any of your module views or business logic.
I am using BjyAuthorize to control access in my project.
Everything working as expected with hard coded settings in module.bjyauthorize.global.php file. But my requirement is to set users dynamically and assign their user levels dynamically.
So I want to connect this file to DB tables some how and dynamically load settings. Please someone help me to get my thing done
Thank you
You have to create your own Providers or Guards that will load the settings from the database.
See BjyAuthorize\Provider\Role\ZendDb or BjyAuthorize\Provider\Role\ObjectRepositoryProvider.
You can set settings in the Module class.
use Zend\Mvc\MvcEvent;
class Module
{
public function onBootstrap(MvcEvent $event)
{
$serviceManager = $event->getApplication()->getServiceManager();
$authorizeService = $serviceManager->get('BjyAuthorize\Service\Authorize');
// settings
}
}
I am writing an application in ASP.NET MVC with three type of users: Student, Staff and Admin.
Students must be able to select and apply for Programs that are set by the Admin. Programs are separated in Terms : Summer, Autumn and Spring which is saved in a database field in the Programs Table called "term".
I want for the admin to be able to set the term, so when users(students and staff) log in, they can only view programs available only for that term. The thing is i cannot save it in a database as my database has Tables such as StaffProfile (retrieves the usernames and passwords of the Admin and the Staff) and Programs(contains information for each program) and a new table only for the term would not be an ideal solution.
I want to save the term variable somewhere, that can be accessed globally and not be destroyed when the application ends.
Maybe this has a simple solution i cannot see.I have considered ApplicationState but i am not sure if this is the way to go.
Any ideas are welcome.
According to my understanding of your question. You can store global variable in web.config or global.asax file. you can also use session. you have another option by static declaring static class. like
public static class GlobalVariables
{
// readonly variable
public static string Foo
{
get
{
return "foo";
}
}
// read-write variable
public static string Bar
{
get
{
return HttpContext.Current.Application["Bar"] as string;
}
set
{
HttpContext.Current.Application["Bar"] = value;
}
}
}
please correct me If I am wrong.
