My Template looks like this:
#using RazorEngine;
#model System.String
#{
var content = #"<div id=""text-block-container"">
#Html.Raw(""<h1>test</h2>"")
</div>";
Razor.SetTemplateBase(typeof(MvcTemplateBase<>));
var output = Razor.Parse<MyType>(content, new MyType() );
}
<div>
#Html.Raw(output)
</div>
The MvcTemplateBase looks like:
public abstract class MvcTemplateBase<T> : TemplateBase<T> {
public HtmlHelper<object> Html { get; private set; }
public UrlHelper Url { get; private set; }
public void InitHelpers() {
var httpContext = new HttpContextWrapper(HttpContext.Current);
var handler = httpContext.CurrentHandler as MvcHandler;
if (handler == null)
throw new InvalidOperationException("Unable to run template outside of ASP.NET MVC");
}
Edited title: I figured out what was causing the "Clear" not defined error. I had my own version of TemplateBase defined and that was the version that was namespaced into this. Since I didn't define a Clear method in my implementation that caused the error.
Now I'm getting a null exception on the Razor.Parse call even though the inputs are not null, both 'raw' and the supplied model are initialized and have values.
Edited to correct minor coding error in example.
The MvcTemplateBase<T> type is not yet developed, and the version you are currently using is a very early unfinished version.
I would question why you are trying to run a RazorEngine template within an MVC Razor view?

I am toying with Swashbuckle.Examples package (3.10.0) in an ASP.NET MVC project. However, I cannot make request examples appear within the UI.

Question: How to make SwaggerRequestExample attribute work in ASP.NET MVC 5?
Note: Windows identity is used for authorization.
I received an answer from library owner here:
Swagger request examples can only set on [HttpPost] actions
It is not clear if this is a design choice or just a limitation, as I find [HttpGet] examples also relevant.
I know the feeling, lot's of overhead just for an example, I struggle with this for a while, so I created my own fork of swashbuckle, and after unsuccessful attempts to merge my ideas I ended up detaching and renaming my project and pushed to nuget, here it is: Swagger-Net
An example like that will be:
[SwaggerExample("id", "123456")]
public IHttpActionResult GetById(int id)
{
Here the full code for that: Swagger_Test/Controllers/IHttpActionResultController.cs#L26
Wondering how that looks like on the Swagger-UI, here it is:
http://swagger-net-test.azurewebsites.net/swagger/ui/index?filter=IHttpActionResult#/IHttpActionResult/IHttpActionResult_GetById
I've got this action in MVC
[OutputCache(Duration = 1200, VaryByParam = "*")]
public ActionResult FilterArea( string listType, List<int> designersID, int currPage = 1 )
{
// Code removed
}
that fails to present the correct HTML with url like
http://example.com/en-US/women/clothing?designersID=158
http://example.com/en-US/women/clothing?designersID=158&designersID=13
Is this a know bug of OutputCache in .NET cause cannot recognize VaryByParam with a list param or am I missing something?
I too had the same issue in MVC3 and I believe it's still the same case in MVC5.
Here is the setup I had.
Request
POST, Content-Type:application/json, passing in an array of string as the parameter
{ "options": ["option1", "option2"] }
Controller Method
[OutputCache(Duration = 3600, Location = OutputCacheLocation.Any, VaryByParam = "options")]
public ActionResult GetOptionValues(List<string> options)
I tried every option possible with OutputCache and it just wasn't caching for me. Binding worked fine for the actual method to work. My biggest suspicion was that OutputCache wasn't creating unique cache keys so I even pulled its code out of System.Web.MVC.OutputCache to verify. I've verified that it properly builds unique keys even when a List<string> is passed in. Something else is buggy in there but wasn't worth spending more effort.
OutputCacheAttribute.GetUniqueIdFromActionParameters(filterContext,
OutputCacheAttribute.SplitVaryByParam(this.VaryByParam);
Workaround
I ended up creating my own OutputCache attribute following another SO post. Much easier to use and I can go enjoy the rest of the day.
Controller Method
[MyOutputCache(Duration=3600)]
public ActionResult GetOptionValues(Options options)
Custom Request class
I've inherited from List<string> so I can call the overriden .ToString() method in MyOutputcache class to give me a unique cache key string. This approach alone has resolved similar issues for others but not for me.
[DataContract(Name = "Options", Namespace = "")]
public class Options: List<string>
{
public override string ToString()
{
var optionsString= new StringBuilder();
foreach (var option in this)
{
optionsString.Append(option);
}
return optionsString.ToString();
}
}
Custom OutputCache class
public class MyOutputCache : ActionFilterAttribute
{
private string _cachedKey;
public int Duration { get; set; }
public override void OnActionExecuting(ActionExecutingContext filterContext)
{
if (filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Url != null)
{
var path = filterContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.PathAndQuery;
var attributeNames = filterContext.ActionParameters["Options"] as AttributeNames;
if (attributeNames != null) _cachedKey = "MYOUTPUTCACHE:" + path + attributeNames;
}
if (filterContext.HttpContext.Cache[_cachedKey] != null)
{
filterContext.Result = (ActionResult) filterContext.HttpContext.Cache[_cachedKey];
}
else
{
base.OnActionExecuting(filterContext);
}
}
public override void OnActionExecuted(ActionExecutedContext filterContext)
{
filterContext.HttpContext.Cache.Add(_cachedKey, filterContext.Result, null,
DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(Duration), System.Web.Caching.Cache.NoSlidingExpiration,
System.Web.Caching.CacheItemPriority.Default, null);
base.OnActionExecuted(filterContext);
}
}
Setup:
I am creating a module so that my clients can manage their own corporate emails as content.
The idea is to avoid putting people's real email addresses on a public website, so for a website user to send an email, I get Orchard to display a form. No problem with that. My problem (see below) is related to how Orchard displays content items in the dashboard, not the public facing part of the website.
Moving on:
I have created (see migration.cs below) a content type called EmailAddress. It is basically just a content type wrapper around a content part called CorporateEmailPart.
The other relevant bit of my setup is the driver (see CorporateEmailPartDriver.cs below). I have followed Kevin Kuebler's videos on PluralSight.com to write the driver. Debugging shows it working fine.
The shapes are placed using the Placement.info file in my module.
So, everything would be working fine if it wasn't for...
The Problem:
The driver correctly allows me to create the shape for the editor of my content type, which displays fine.
Or rather, displays fine to allow me to create a NEW EmailAddress. I can save the CorporateEmailPart to the database just fine.
However, when I save the new EmailAddress content type, or try to edit an existing one, the fields for the CorporateEmailPart don't display at all on my EmailAddress editor.
Ie, when in my POST DriverResult Editor method I return the GET Editor ContentShape, only the CommonPart of my Content Type is displayed (ie, the owner field of the ContentItem). No CorporateEmailPart data is displayed. Not even empty text boxes.
I must be missing something simple, cos everything else works.
But I just can't see what...!

Any suggestions much appreciated.
OK, a more careful debugging session with a clear mind and I found the issue:
An error is caused when building the viewmodel in my driver:
private CorporateEmailEditorViewModel BuildEditorViewModel(CorporateEmailPart part)
{
return new CorporateEmailEditorViewModel
{
Alias = part.Alias,
EmailAddress = part.EmailAddress,
DisplayOrder = part.DisplayOrder,
DisplayTitle = part.DisplayTitle,
IsDefault = part.IsDefault,
EmailMessageSummaries = part.EmailMessages.Select(ue => ue.Summary).ToList()
};
}
The offending line is:
EmailMessageSummaries = part.EmailMessages.Select(ue => ue.Summary).ToList()
The reason is that there is some problem with retrieving data from the EmailMessageRecord table using the CorporateEmailPartRecord_Id foreign key. I still haven't figured out what (have never used nHibernate which is what orchard uses), but the existence of this error answers the current question.
A Word of Advice:
Orchard works fine.
In fact, it works really well.
What doesn'twork is the code in your module.
So be more careful with your debugging.
Kevin Kuebler's videos are a great orchard learning resource.
When you refactor the name of something, double check to make sure they have ALL been changed.
Addendum:
I have found what was causing the hHibernate error: shoddy refactoring.
I originally called the project CompanyEmails, but then refactored everything to call it CorporateEmails. The only problem being, I didn't refactor everything, did I? There was still a CompanyEmailPartRecord_Id field on the EmailMessageRecord model class, whereas in the database, I had changed it to CorporateEmailRecordPart_Id. So, just another bug, just a failure to refactor properly.
I am trying to build a service in Orchard that allows me to create content through a custom form on a page. The service and the content type definitions look fine to me, but somehow, eventhough I don't get any errors or other signs in the Orchard log files, creating new content using the IContentManager does nothing for me.
Parts involved
The controller accepting the form values
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Create(CreateSopViewModel viewModel)
{
if(!ModelState.IsValid)
{
var shape = _shape.CreateContent();
shape.Header = _shape.Parts_Title(Title: "New item");
// Add the original fields to the shape.
shape.Title = viewModel.Title;
shape.Description = viewModel.Description;
shape.InitialComments = viewModel.InitialComments;
return new ShapeResult(this, shape);
}
// Store the new procedure in the database
_service.CreateContentItem(
viewModel.Title,viewModel.Description,viewModel.InitialComments);
// Redirect the user back to the homepage.
return Redirect("~/");
}
The service that contains the CreateContentItem method:
public void CreateContentItem(string title, string description, string initialComments)
{
// Initialize a new content item based on the SOP type
var customPart = _services.ContentManager.New<MyCustomPart>("CustomContentType");
customPart.Description = description;
customPart.Identifier = BuildIdentifier(title);
customPart.ContentItem.As<TitlePart>().Title = title;
_services.ContentManager.Create(customPart.ContentItem);
}
The content part + record
public class MyCustomPart: ContentPart<MyCustomPartRecord>
{
[Required]
public string Identifier
{
get { return Record.Identifier; }
set { Record.Identifier = value; }
}
[Required]
public string Description
{
get { return Record.Description; }
set { Record.Description = value; }
}
}
public class MyCustomPartRecord: ContentPartRecord
{
public virtual string Identifier { get; set; }
public virtual string Description { get; set; }
}
The migration
SchemaBuilder.CreateTable(typeof(MyCustomPartRecord).Name, table => table
.ContentPartRecord()
.Column<string>("Description")
.Column<string>("Identifier"));
ContentDefinitionManager.AlterPartDefinition("StandardOperationalProcedurePart", builder => builder
.Attachable(true));
ContentDefinitionManager.AlterTypeDefinition("CustomContentType", builder => builder
.DisplayedAs("Custom Content Type")
.WithPart("TitlePart")
.WithPart("MyCustomPart")
.Creatable(true));
Question
Again, I don't get any errors, not in the log and not in Visual Studio. However, my new content item doesn't get created or at least, I can't see it in the admin section of the site under Content.
What is going on and how can I debug this behavior?
I had a similar problem, which was solved when I used the overloaded Create method taking a VersionOptions enum value:
content.Create(customPart.ContentItem, VersionOptions.Published);
This should work even if the content item is not creatable, as mine isn't.
I had a similar issue. In my case the item did appear eventually, but not right away.
The solution for me was to do:
_contentManager.Flush();
I was having this issue, in my case it was that I actually had an error in the database (trying to put 100+ characters into a field that would only hold 100!).
I found the error I was getting (null id in Orchard.Indexing.Models.IndexingTaskRecord entry (don't flush the Session after an exception occurs) ), actually masked the issue. I had to go hunt in the logs to find the real problem.
So anyway, my advice is if you see that contentmanager.create seems to be doing nothing, and any errors don't seem to help, check the logs carefully. They can be found in the logs sub-folder of the appdata folder in the main Orchard.Web project. Because as I've found in the last 48 hours, often the answer is there.
I am writing a custom module that retrieves and pushes data directly from the Orchard DB using an injected IRepository.
This works fine until i need to update a content part. I add an update in my migrations class and the update runs through (DB schema updated with default values), however I can't update any of the new values through IRepository. I have to drop down into the NHibernate.ISession to flush the changes through.
This all works fine on a newly created recipe, it's only when i alter a part. Here are the key code snippets:
public class TranslationsPartRecord : ContentPartRecord
{
internal const string DefaultProductName = "Product";
public TranslationsPartRecord()
{
ProductName = DefaultProductName;
}
public virtual string ProductName { get; set; }
}
public class TranslationsPart : ContentPart<TranslationsPartRecord>
{
public string ProductName
{
get { return Record.ProductName; }
set { Record.ProductName = value; }
}
}
public class TranslationsHandler : ContentHandler
{
public TranslationsHandler(IRepository<TranslationsPartRecord> repository)
{
Filters.Add(StorageFilter.For(repository));
}
}
public class Migrations : DataMigrationImpl
{
public int Create()
{
SchemaBuilder.CreateTable("TranslationsPartRecord", table => table
.Column<int>("Id", column => column.PrimaryKey().Identity())
.Column("ProductName", DbType.String, column => column.NotNull().WithDefault(TranslationsPartRecord.DefaultProductName))
);
return 1;
}
public int UpdateFrom1()
{
SchemaBuilder.AlterTable("TranslationsPartRecord", table => table.AddColumn("ProductDescription", DbType.String, column => column.NotNull().WithDefault(TranslationsPartRecord.DefaultProductDescription)));
return 2;
}
}
When i add the second property "ProductDescription" in this example, after the update is run the columns appear in the DB but i cannot update them until i recreate the Orchard recipe (blat App_Data and start again).
here's how I am trying to update:
// ctor
public AdminController(IRepository<TranslationsPartRecord> translationsRepository)
{
_translationsRepository = translationsRepository;
}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Translations(TranslationsViewModel translationsViewModel)
{
var translations = _translationsRepository.Table.SingleOrDefault();
translations.ProductName = translationsViewModel.ProductName;
translations.ProductDescription = translationsViewModel.ProductDescription;
_translationsRepository.Update(translations);
_translationsRepository.Flush();
}
and here's the NHibernate "fix":
var session = _sessionLocator.For(typeof(TranslationsPartRecord));
var translations = _translationsRepository.Table.SingleOrDefault();
// is translations.Id always 1?
var dbTranslations = session.Get<TranslationsPartRecord>(translations.Id);
dbTranslations.ProductName = translationsViewModel.ProductName;
dbTranslations.ProductDescription = translationsViewModel.ProductDescription;
session.Update(dbTranslations);
session.Flush();
which seems a bit kludgey...
Cheers.
ps i'm still running Orchard 1.3.9
pps after more testing, the NHibernate fix has stopped working now, so perhaps my initial findings were a red herring. It seems as though new properties on the content part are totally ignored by NHibernate when updating/retrieving - as though the object definition is cached somewhere...
If your mappings aren't being updated that is strange. You can try to force it by deleting the mappings.bin in the app_data folder, and restarting the application. Orchard should recreate the nhibernate mappings and save as mappings.bin.
I have ran into the same issue, and the only way around it that I can find is to delete mappings.bin (I don't need to disable and re-enable the module). In fact, this is the answer that I got from Bertrand when I asked why this was happening.
I have logged this as an issue at http://orchard.codeplex.com/workitem/19306. If you could vote this up, then we may get it looked at quicker.
This seems like a similar issue to what I am seeing... I am seeing that when you enable a module, it runs the NHibernate mappings BEFORE running the Migrations..
