C# - Display Original Sitecore Username Instead Of What's Currently Typed In?

Jan 24, 2011

I might be overlooking something obvious here, but is it possible to return a Sitecore user with the username in the capitalisation they used when registering?

At the moment the username will be displayed as whatever the user typed when they logged in, but I'd like to be able to get the original string.

I'm using User user = User.FromName(domainUser, false);

UPDATE: This is what I ended up with after Yan's excellent answer:

// get the MembershipUser object normally by name
var initialUser = Membership.GetUser(domainUser, false);
if (initialUser != null)
{
// get the same MembershipUser by Id - in this case it retuns username in correct case
initialUser = Membership.GetUser(initialUser.ProviderUserKey, false);
}
// get the Sitecore user from the username in correct case
Sitecore.Security.Accounts.User user = Sitecore.Security.Accounts.User.FromName(initialUser.UserName, false);

Strongly-typed Or Weakly-typed Binding In Codebehind In Front End?

Feb 23, 2010

So my question is more in relation to what people consider to be the best practice and why:

I've been dropping literals into pages and repeaters and binding them in code behind for a while. Is this considered bad practice?

ie:

ASPX Page:

<asp: Literal id="litTextToInsert" runat="Server" />

Code Behind:

litTextToInsert.Text = objData.MyText;

OR (repeater):

[code]....

I personally dont like doing this as i find it makes it harder for me to know if someone changed the field name, or mis typed it during development - the other way you won't know until the page loads.

With the strongly typed version if something changes in your DAL etc the build will break - letting me know I've messed up.

Why do so many people appear to use weakly typed code in ASP.Net (in examples, MVC, etc)?
Am i missing something?

MVC Strongly Typed Versus Dynamically Typed Views

Nov 25, 2010

Given the benefits of using strongly typed views to eliminate typed errors and the use of lambda expressions why would one use a dynamically typed view? When I use them I don't feel as safe as with strongly typed views. Am I missing something? Is there a special use for them?

I create a strongly typed list scaffold view for this class:

However i don't want "Date" and "Name" in the table header - i want "Datum" and "Feiertag Name" rendered there dynamically. The actual column header titles should come from the Display Dataannotation.

MVC :: Display Workstation Logged On Username?

Dec 2, 2010

I was not able to find the post. I am building an MVC app and on the master page I want to display the user that is logged into the workstation. This is just an internal app so we were just going to use
AD authentication. I am not sure how ISS will be configured on the anonymous or impersionate part so I did this line of code in the master page

<%=Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("USERNAME") %>

Is this proper and the best way or should I look for a better way. I know this is generic but just curious.

Can Integrate AspDotNetStorefront And Sitecore

Feb 2, 2010

integrate AspDotNetStorefront and Sitecore? I've been trying for the past couple of days to come up with a way to get the two systems to play nicely together, but it doesn't seem feasible from what I can tell. A couple issues I've run across so far:

Authentication between the two (AspDotNetStorefront has its own implementation, Sitecore just uses/extends .NET Membership)The main DLL for AspDotNetStorefront is what pops up in the stack trace when I get yellow-screened, but that DLL is obfuscated so I can't figure out what the problem is.

we need to keep our existing AspDotNetStorefront application as an e-commerce backend and use Sitecore to do everything else. AspDotNetStorefront has a CMS as part of it, but it's really not an acceptable solution for anything but really basic content pages.

EDIT:

I've decided to break this whole thing down into the different problems that I am facing at the moment and solve each one as efficiently as I know how. I'll detail the ones I have here and then update when I run into new ones.

Problem 1: Authentication between the two systems.

This one isn't too bad actually if you're knowledgeable about forms authentication tickets, which I wasn't at the time but am learning quickly enough. As long as the two systems share the same encryption info, it's easy enough to pass information back and forth between them using cookies as stated below in the accepted answer. The other kicker is that I needed to set the CustomerGUID in the AspDotNetStorefront Customer table to be the user ID from the Sitecore user tables (standard ASP.NET membership). So far this approach seems to work pretty well (I'm still in the proof of concept stage at the moment.

Problem 2: Getting at the product data

This one was a little more troublesome. The aforementioned web service has a few issues I've had difficulty working around. However, since the databases are going to be on the same server, I simply decided that since all I really need is the price and ID I would go ahead and set the ProductGUID column of each product in the Storefront database to match the Sitecore item ID of the corresponding item in the Sitecore database. This way I just need a quick query to grab the ProductID and price information which is only used in a few places. Everything else is going to be housed in Sitecore.

If anyone has anything to add feel free, as far as I can tell from Google, no one has actually done this before, so I'm having a lot of trouble finding resources on this particular topic.

UPDATE:

The integration is in fact possible and our site has been up for a week and a half now with very few integration related problems. This isn't something I recommend doing really on a personal level, but it is in fact possible to pull off.

Faking User Roles In Sitecore 6.2?

Jun 17, 2010

The Faking User Roles document in SDN appears to give exactly what I need. I have a few "roles" that I have access to through stored procedure calls I don't control, read-only, via a CRM I don't have direct access to.

Unfortunately, I can't find the method AddRole, or even the class UserItem, by its present name. Does this functionality exist in Sitecore 6.2? If so, where is it?

How To Store/access Localized UI Strings In Sitecore

Apr 4, 2011

I'm adding support for multiple language to my site. I've found many places in my renderers that have hard-coded strings I'll need to address.

I seem to have a couple different options of fixing this... one would be to use the standard .NET approach and store strings in a resource file. I'm not liking this because my Sitecore translators can't get to that... and also because I don't think Sitecore sets the Culture by default? Which I believe is how ASP.NET knows which language to use from the resource file.

Another option would be to add fields for all these strings in my Sitecore templates so they are visible to translators in Content Editor. But this seems like a huge hassle... there are many, many places where I would have to update my templates solely to store UI element strings.

C# - Implementing Paging In Sitecore Content Pages?

Mar 8, 2011

I have a section on my website where I plan to add a lot of text-based content, and rather than display this all at once it would be nice if I could add paging on just these pages. If possible, I would like to put all of my content within one content item and have the paging work automatically, building a URL along the lines of http://example.org/articles/title?page=2 or similar.

I've stumbled across an article that mentions paging with Sitecore items and this seems rather close to what I require, although mine requires pagination on a single content item, rather than multiple items.

Is it possible to do this with a Sitecore content item?

Viewstate Lost On Postback For .net Sitecore Page?

Oct 27, 2010

I'm getting some strange behaviour with viewstate being lost on postback for a .net application using Sitecore. I'm assuming it might be some config variable somewhere but I'm new to Sitecore and don't really know where to start looking.

UPDATE: Sitecore has now gotten back to us with an answer. We had recently added the dtSearch module, and AutomaticDataBind was set to true in the dtSearch.config which overrides the setting in the web config. We've now removed it and it works fine again.

I've made a mini test if that might help. It's two usercontrols on one page, both with a repeater. When updating the viewstate gets lost so even if I'm binding the updated repeater again the data for the other one will be lost.

Usercontrol 1:

<asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="Repeater1" OnItemDataBound="Repeater1_ItemBind">
<ItemTemplate>
<li>
<asp:Literal runat="server" ID="Literal1"></asp:Literal>[code]....

what might be going on? Let me know if I need to provide any more information. The most annoying thing is that it was working last week but I have no idea what has changed!

Sitecore Template Standard Values Layout Not Updating All Items?

Dec 23, 2010

i'm currently having a nightmarish moment with Sitecore. Basically my issues are two-fold:

1) the first time i added a standard value item to a template, and added a layout setup to it, i was thrilled, since all my items from that template were showing the layout, however now, certain items are now showing no layout at all. I tried doing presentation->layout, reset several times, but to no avail.

2) i added a new sublayout to the standard value layout to another placeholder, did publish on the template (republish everything, publish subitems), then publish on the standard values item again, just in case (should not be needed), i click on all items from the template, and they show the updated layout with the new sublayout (should be good, right?) however, i browse, both live and with preview to the pages and i am still seeing the old layout without my new sublayout.
