Web Forms :: SiteMap With Multiple Paths To Same Page?
Jul 20, 2010
I have a sitemap, and i'm using nested repeaters to display the parent and child nodes for my breadcrumbs.I have 3 pages: Home, Hub, and Search.Each of these pages can navigate to each other. In other words:
The most common path would be "Home > Hub" and Home > Search > HubHowever, I can't seem to figure out how to show this on my breadcrumbs, since you can't have multiple ULR's in the Sitemap. Right now, you can only go "Home > Hub". If you go from "Search" to "Hub...it should show "Home > Search > Hub" in the breadcrumbs.
However, now I want to be able to create multiple web.sitemap files, and then programmatically determine which web.sitemap file to use, but I can't seem to find out how to do this. I'm assuming I could either create one custom SiteMapProvider that can perform the logic to determine which web.sitemap file to load, or I have multiple providers, each one with the SiteMapFile property set to a specific *.sitemap file, and then switch providers programmatically before I access SiteMap.RootNode.
We would like to add styles and images to location, e.g. location path="images, styles". Is it possible to put multiple paths in location element (and how)?
Introducing FOREIGN KEY constraint 'FK_Order_Customers1' on table 'Order' may cause cycles or multiple cascade paths. Specify ON DELETE NO ACTION or ON UPDATE NO ACTION, or modify other FOREIGN KEY constraints. Could not create constraint. See previous errors. what is solution,as i want when i delete data from master table ,all dependent (child) data automatically deleted, so i use Cascade.
My WebApp is part CMS, and when I serve up an HTML page to the user it typically contains relative paths in a.href and img.src attributes. I currently have them accessed by urls like: ~/get-data.aspx/instance/user/page.html -- where instance indicates the particular instance for the report and "user/page.html" is a path created by an external application that generates the content. This works pretty reliably with code in the application's BeginRequest method that translates the text after ".aspx" into a query string, then uses Context.RewritePath(). So far so good, but I've just tripped over something that took me by surprise: it appears that if any of the query string ("instance/user/page.html") happens to contain a plus sign ("+") the BeginRequest method is never called, and a 404 is immediately returned to the user.
So my question is two-fold:
Am I correct in my belief that a "+" would cause the 404, and if so are there other things that could cause similar problems? Is there a way around that problem (perhaps a different method than BeginRequest)? Is there a better way to preserve relative URL paths for generated content than what I'm using? I'd rather not require site admins to install a 3rd party rewrite tool if I can help it.
I have a few css files, javascript files and images referenced in my master page. When I do a "View Source" of the pages that use this master page, I can see that the css files are showing correct paths but javascripts and images don't. I tried using "~" in path but nothing worked so I used relative paths.
If I have a path for css file as "../../css/blah.css" and a page that is in sub-folder uses this master page, it correctly shows the path as "../../../css/blah.css". But the images and javascript paths continue to show the original path (hence broken images, javascript errors, ...).
A javascript source listed as src="../../scripts/blah.js" continues to show as "../../scripts/blah.js" instead of "../../../scripts/blah.js". Same thing with images. I did try "~/scripts/blah.js" and "~/images/blah.gif" but still can't find it.
have a question related to sitemap ........i have a pool of websites which are same in function but different in css and format ..every site in that pool different from each other in terms of information so each site in the pool would have different sitemap.xml but the problem is how would i know that the Google crawler or other search engine crawlers are picking the right sitemap ... ?is there any place where i can identify that sitemap-abc.xml belongs to abc site and sitemap-xyz.xml belongs to xyz site ? ll the xml are put in one folder only difference in between them is there names ..
I creating a page where our clients can view advertising images and then able to download the images in different file formats. So I need the images and the different download types all saved into the same row in the database so that when I go to display them on the page when they select a picture the right download links will be there. So here where my problem comes in, I don't know how to code it so that I can insert mulitiple file paths into the database at once. The images are saved in a table called images. The downloads are saved in a table called Image Downloads.
Here is the code for the page I have it coded to submit the images to the database but not sure how to add the rest. I have got three different sql datasources for each table not sure if that's the way to go.
I have two Master Pages, each with a SiteMapPath control that uses a separate sitemap assigned in markup via the SiteMapFile attribute. Both sitemap files are defined as providers in web.config, and sitemap "A" is set as default. My master pages are dynamically assigned to common content pages (in the Page_PreInit event).
We are getting this error message when we try to click the link in the menu to go to Report Server:
Source Error: Line 31: <siteMapNode title="Reports" description="Reports"> Line 32: Line 33: <siteMapNode url="https://ffxsqldgc01.ffx.co.fairfax.va.us/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ItemPath=%2fDPZ&ViewMode=List" title="View Reports" description="Click here to view the reports" /> Line 34: </siteMapNode> Line 35:
I tried to add after the &, as it was suggested on one of the forum but it did not work. Any other ideas.
Now, I've refactored my code to have a data layer, business layer and the main project as the view layer. Next I'd like to split this big project smaller projects based on discrete functionality. As I understand it, one way to handle a shared masterpage is to copy it into each project, that's not the worst thing, it hasn't changed in over a year and if it does it's easy enough to propagate the changes out to the other projects.
I was also reading that I could create an assembly from my master page and share it that way. My masterpage.aspx has a reference to a asp.net sitemap, Unlike the masterpage I'd like to maintain only one site map if possible.
My understanding is that since both are under root so i have used a single .. Now what happens is that when this usercontrol is used inside DepartMentManagement it checks for script folder inside CustomerManagement as .. refers to one hierarchy above and script file is not found.Even using a ~ doesnot work.
I want to make this script path independent of the path where this control is used. I don't want to move script reference code to the page as control requires script mot page.
I want to use .sitemap file,but how to use Page.ResolveUrl in it. Because i have used UrlRewriting so it url are virtual.tell me if another way of doing this.
I have a some code that I have used to set the page title from the sitemap on my root.master. I also use very similar code to add a titlebar from sitemap on my nested.master. Im just getting starting to try to build classes and was wondering if there is a way to make this into a class and then referance it in each master/nested master?
Also it errors out if the is no Title attribute in the node, is there anyway to test if it exists first?
I have a web.site map that works fine with the exception of opening a page in a new window. The page opens, just not in a new window and I can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
<siteMapNode url="Part3.aspx" title="Part III Practice Component" description="" <siteMapNode url="InterviewLog.pdf" title="Print Version Guide and Log" description="" roles="" target="_blank" <siteMapNode url="EnrollmentForm.pdf" title="Enrollment Form" description="" roles="" target="_blank" siteMapNode>
code to allow authorised users to add categories to a shopping catalog:
Sub editXml() If txtNewCat.Text.Count > 0 Then Dim sMap As New XmlDocument sMap.Load(Server.MapPath("App_Data/Web.sitemap"))
[Code]....
trvCats is the ID of the treeview that displays the sitemap contents. Problem is the the trvCats.DataBind() line isnt running when run the code. The new entry is added to the sitemap file, no problems but the code seems to exit after the sMap.Save line so the user must refresh the page to see the updated TreeView. If I set a breakpoint on the trvCats.DataBind() line then it does run but if I remove the breakpoint then it doesn't.
Also a smaller point is that the new node is automatically created with the xmlns attribute. Although this doesn't cause an error I would rather not have it if possible. Anyone got a suggestions how to get rid of it?
I've been having some production runtime errors that I don't fully understand. This has happened to us on a couple different ASP.NET 4.0 Web Sites (shudders - yes, I know - we're porting it to MVC but that's taking some time).
First of all, we have never been able to reproduce this issue in development/QA environments. Secondly, upon deployment, the issue seems to be non-existent. Sometimes the issue manifests within a day or two of deployment and other times the deployment will be live for a month without it manifesting at all. However, once it manifests, then ANY page viewed under the web site causes the error. Lastly, this problem seemed to only come up once we migrated to .NET 4.0. We started at 2.0, a year ago upped to 3.5, and recently upped to 4.0 with this solution and most child projects.
The error:
Could not find the sitemap node with URL '~/Default.aspx'.
A simplified version of our sitemap (with some names changed and uninteresting nodes removed) is as follows:
I have confirmed in all of the SiteMaps that there is a node with url="~/Default.aspx" with roles="*" (which includes public/anonymous access), so I am very confused as to why this problem occurs.
SiteMap does not have a node for Default.aspx. All of them do. SiteMap's Default.aspx node is not accessible for security reasons to the current user/role. They're all accessible to anonymous users and this problem even exists for super admin users. Passed-in URL contains querystrings (Default.aspx?abcd). I don't know if this is a problem (I sure would hope not) but once the problem manifests itself, I can handwrite the URL with no querystrings and the problem still exists.
SiteMap changes. It doesn't Service's permissions to the sitemap file. The sitemap works perfectly fine after a deployment, so unless permissions are changed in a way that IISRESET fixes, then this is not an issue. The worker process becomes globally corrupt. I don't think so. We have ~12 web sites all in the same app pool and the problem always stays confined within a single web site. Also, we have yet to have this happen to more than a single web site at a time although it has manifested itself in 4 different ones so far.
We have a dynamic sitemap and all nodes in the sitemap display a breadcrumb. Is it possible to have the breadcrumb still showing, but make the link in the sitemap invisible or non-clickable? Reason for this is that... we dont want users to select some pages from the sitemap (becasue they need to conduct a search first to populate a datagrid) and clicking on the link will only take them to an empty page. I tried just removing the url, or having a blank title, but that didn't work.
I have a web application that contains a MasterPage and a Web.sitemap file for the navigation. I am loading the navigation into an <asp:Repeater> control and I associating it with <asp:LinkButton>; something like this:
[Code]....
I have two issues:
Setting Session Variables: I'd like to set some session variables when any menu item is clicked.Dynamic Url: Once the Session variables are set, I'd like to set the url dynamically after the Session variable is set The thing is, I'd like to use the same aspx file for two different menu items, and I'd also like to set some session variables at the time of menu selection. I am aware that I cannot use the same url when I define the url in the web.sitemap file.
How would I programatically reference a .sitemap file that is not the root web.sitemap file? I have a file called research.sitemap in a folder a level under root. I want to refernce this file in my code behind like his: SiteMapNode m1 = SiteMap.RootNode (but since this isnt web.sitemap in the root, I dont know how to get access to it).
I have a second level node that goes onto two lines. The first line indents 15px as is set by the class for node level 2. The seond line kicks back to the same level as 1st level nodes. Here's what I mean:
I've been using a repeater to build a website's site map page by binding to the web.sitemap file. For example, to display 2 levels of links:
[Code]....
So far, everything works well. However, in some cases, I do not want to display certain pages in the site map. I've added a custom attribute to each node (nodisplay= 'true').How can i check for this attibute, and avoid it from being displayed by in the repeater.
I am creating a CacheDependency on the file that my SiteMap provider uses. I would like to get the name of the file from my sitemap provider instead of hard coding it. Is there a way?
Edit
Duh, I forgot to mention: XmlSiteMapProvider that comes with ASP.NET
Edit 2
Reflector shows a private member field called _filename that isn't exposed in any way as far as I can tell.
