I m trying to set the header for the custom Editor Part section. Any ideas how to do it?
EditorPart Class:
public class YourCustomEditorPart:System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.EditorPart{
protected override void CreateChildControls() {
this.Title = "Editor Part Title Here";
...
}
}
Tell the web part that it should use this editor part, instead of the attributed properties.
WebPart Class:
public class YourWebPart:System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts.WebPart, IWebEditable {
...
EditorPartCollection IWebEditable.CreateEditorParts() {
// control the editorparts
List<EditorPart> editors = new List<EditorPart>();
YourCustomEditorPart editorPart = new YourCustomEditorPart();
editorPart.ID = this.ID + "_editorPart";
editors.Add(editorPart);
return new EditorPartCollection(editors);
}
...
}

I use Orchard CMS 1.10.1. I have created a content type, now I want to have a section menu in admin page to have specific links for this content type. I want it include New link and content item list for this content type.
How can i achieve this? preferably with no editing in the code.
You can't do this without code, at the same time you will need a small code chunk to achieve this, like the following code:
public class AdminMenu : INavigationProvider {
public Localizer T { get; set; }
public string MenuName {
get { return "admin"; }
}
public void GetNavigation(NavigationBuilder builder) {
builder
.Add(T("Your Content Type Display Name"), "1", menu => menu
.Action("List", "Admin", new { area = "Contents", id = "YourContentTypeName" }));
}
}
I have created my navigation menus in Orchard using a mix of Content Item and Custom Link Elements (parts of the website are outside the scope of the CMS). Now there are a couple of links that I need to open in a new window/tab, basically the target="_blank" behaviour.
SInce the original Custom Link does not have any parameters I tried to create an extended version of it. In the admin backend I went to "Content definition" looked up Custom Link and tried to create a copy of it, then add a target field that I could check for and use in my theme's Menu.cshtml file.
However I can't even get the basic carbon copy of the Custom Link item working. It has the same stereotype, same Parts, same Forms (none) as the original Custom Link, and it does appear in the list of items on the admin -> navigation window. However the item does not have a field for the URL/link. It only has the field for Menu Text, nothing else.
So my question is 2-tiered:
How can I get a carbon copy of the Custom Link item type working in my Orchard backend navigation?
When I have my copy of the Custom Link working and add a text field named target, how can I access its value in the Menu.cshtml view?
(I tried simply adding a URL field to my copy, that would then show up in the navigation editor, however the navigation itself would ignore it in the output and create a link to the content item id instead).
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Edit: Here are some screenshots to better illustrate the problem, maybe they can help pin down the problem.
Seems like you've done everything right. Please double check if MenuItemPart is there. This part is responsible for holding the URL information and displaying an editor for it. Not sure if this part is attachable though - if it's not, then make it so in the Content Definition\Parts pane.
Instead of hardwiring things inside Menu.cshtml, you should create a file named MenuItemLink-[YourTypeName].cshtml. This shape file will be used to display your custom menu items. Then you can access any fields via Model.Content object, eg. Model.Content.YourTypeName.FieldWithTargetName.Value.
You need to use the MenuItemPart because it has a few important functions integrated into Orchard.Core.
This works fine:
AdvancedMenuItemPartRecord:
public class AdvancedMenuItemPartRecord : ContentPartRecord
{
public virtual string Target { get; set; }
public virtual string Classes { get; set; }
}
AdvancedMenuItemPart:
public class AdvancedMenuItemPart : ContentPart<AdvancedMenuItemPartRecord>
{
public string Target
{
get { return Retrieve(x => x.Target); }
set { Store(x => x.Target, value); }
}
public string Classes
{
get { return Retrieve(x => x.Classes); }
set { Store(x => x.Classes, value); }
}
}
AdvancedMenuItemPartDriver:
public class AdvancedMenuItemPartDriver : ContentPartDriver<AdvancedMenuItemPart>
{
protected override string Prefix
{
get { return "AdvancedMenuItem"; }
}
protected override DriverResult Editor(AdvancedMenuItemPart part, dynamic shapeHelper)
{
return ContentShape("Parts_AdvancedMenuItem_Edit", () => shapeHelper.EditorTemplate(TemplateName: "Parts/AdvancedMenuItem", Model: part, Prefix: Prefix));
}
protected override DriverResult Editor(AdvancedMenuItemPart part, IUpdateModel updater, dynamic shapeHelper)
{
updater.TryUpdateModel(part, Prefix, null, null);
return Editor(part, shapeHelper);
}
}
AdvancedMenuItemPartHandler (ActivatingFilter add MenuItemPart to your AdvancedMenuItem dynamicaly):
public class AdvancedMenuItemPartHandler : ContentHandler
{
public AdvancedMenuItemPartHandler(IRepository<AdvancedMenuItemPartRecord> repository)
{
Filters.Add(StorageFilter.For(repository));
Filters.Add(new ActivatingFilter<MenuItemPart>("AdvancedMenuItem"));
}
}
Placement.info:
<Place Parts_AdvancedMenuItem_Edit="Content:11"/>
Migrations:
public int UpdateFrom2()
{
SchemaBuilder.CreateTable("AdvancedMenuItemPartRecord",
table => table
.ContentPartRecord()
.Column<string>("Target")
.Column<string>("Classes")
);
ContentDefinitionManager.AlterPartDefinition("AdvancedMenuItemPart", part => part
.WithDescription(""));
ContentDefinitionManager.AlterTypeDefinition("AdvancedMenuItem", cfg => cfg
.WithPart("AdvancedMenuItemPart")
.WithPart("MenuPart")
.WithPart("CommonPart")
.WithIdentity()
.DisplayedAs("Custom Link Advanced")
.WithSetting("Description", "Custom Link with target and classes fields")
.WithSetting("Stereotype", "MenuItem")
// We don't want our menu items to be draftable
.Draftable(false)
// We don't want the user to be able to create new ActionLink items outside of the context of a menu
.Creatable(false)
);
return 3;
}
MenuItemLink-AdvancedMenuItem.cshtml:
#{
var advancedPart = Model.Content.AdvancedMenuItemPart;
var tag = new TagBuilder("a");
tag.InnerHtml = WebUtility.HtmlDecode(Model.Text.Text);
tag.MergeAttribute("href", Model.Href);
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(advancedPart.Target)) {
tag.MergeAttribute("target", advancedPart.Target);
}
if (!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(advancedPart.Classes))
{
tag.AddCssClass(advancedPart.Classes);
}
}
#Html.Raw(tag.ToString(TagRenderMode.Normal))
I have created a new module in Orchard CMS, i have a new event part that has a whole bunch of custom fields. How do i change the heading displayed in the list of content?
Thanks
It is possible to set the meta data in the Handler
protected override void GetItemMetadata(GetContentItemMetadataContext context)
{
// We will set the display text, appears in content list
var e = context.ContentItem.As<EventPart>();
if (e != null)
{
context.Metadata.DisplayText = e.Name;
}
}
You could use the ITitleAspect method:
public interface ITitleAspect : IContent {
string Title { get; }
}
As seen in David Hayden's fine post.
I'm trying to create a custom property for my web part, but can't get it to show up in Sharepoint. Here's my current code :
[Serializable]
[XmlRoot(Namespace = "MyWebPart")]
[DefaultProperty("Text")]
public class MyWebPart : WebPart
{
...
[Category("My Web Parts Properties")]
[DefaultValue(defaultPropertyValue)]
[WebPartStorage(Storage.Shared)]
[FriendlyNameAttribute("Property name")]
[Description("Longer desc for my property")]
[Browsable(true)]
[XmlElement(ElementName = "SomeProperty")]
public string SomeProperty
{
get { return someProperty; }
set { someProperty = value; }
}
Is there something else required to get custom properties working?
I think you're using the wrong properties
SO - Sharepoint custom web part property does not show up in the toolbox
I working with Reporting services in Sharepoint Mode, I am able to show the report in Sql Server Reporting services report viewer , the report has multiple parameters , My question is how do I pass more than one parameter from a custom web part to this report.
I am able to pass one parameter by implementing the ITransformableFilterValues interface in the custom webpart , what I want to do is pass more than one parameter .
Ex: If there are 2 parameters on report then i should able to map each from the control in webpart.
Here is the Code for Custom Webpart:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Text;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using aspnetwebparts = System.Web.UI.WebControls.WebParts;

using System.Collections;
namespace CustomWebPart
{
/// <summary>
/// Used to provide filter values for the status report.
/// </summary>
public class StatusReportFiler : aspnetwebparts.WebPart, wsswebparts.ITransformableFilterValues
{
DropDownList ddlCategory;

{
string[] values = this.GetCurrentlySelectedCategory();
return values == null ?
null :
new ReadOnlyCollection<string>(values);
}
}
protected override void CreateChildControls()
{
lblCaption = new Label();
lblCaption.Text = " Category: ";
Controls.Add(lblCaption);
ddlCategory = new DropDownList();
ddlCategory.AutoPostBack = true;
lstItem = new ListItem();
lstItem.Text = "Select All Category";
lstItem.Value = "0";
ddlCategory.Items.Add(lstItem);
lstItem = null;
lstItem = new ListItem();
lstItem.Text = "BING";
lstItem.Value = "Bing";
ddlCategory.Items.Add(lstItem);

lstItem.Text = "Google";

htmlWriter.Write("<tr><td>");

htmlWriter.Write("</table>");*/
this.EnsureChildControls();
RenderChildren(htmlWriter);
}
}
}
Once you build this Webpart deploy it to SharePoint.
Create a Webpart page in Sharpoint , Add the Custom Web Part to the page .
Once you add it you will be able to see the dropdownlist with values on the Webpart .
In another Add Webpart Section add a Sql Server Reporting Sevices ReportViewer web part and set the report URL in the properties section and click apply , this report should have the same parameter name as in Custom Webpart.
In the Custom Webpart click on Edit -> Connections-> Send Category Filter To -> ReportViewer - AAAA(This is the ReportName I Guess). This will popup a Window with the mapping section , Map the Filer Category to Filtered parameter on the Report and click Finish . This will pass the value from the Webpart to the Report.
Hope this helps.
I'm not sure about SharePoint integrated mode, but ReportServer correctly accept parameters passed via URL string.
