I'm trying to add links to pages in the HTML widget.
I'm currently running orchard as a virtual directory, so I can't use '/'. Also since I'm working on a dev site then copying over to a live site, I'm not sure if the site will be running as a virtual directory or from the root.
I've just realised that all links entered via the HTML widget will have a problem, since you can't use '~', also it looks like the image links are fixed, so deploying to a different location won't work ie. from localhost\dev to localhost\live
Any ideas?
If you're entering it from the html editor, you don't have any choice but to use a rooted path (/foo). Sure, it can cause problems if you then publish from a vdir into a site without a vdir, but that's how it for now. We're looking at solutions but in the meantime your best bet is to have a dev site that is as close as possible to the production setup.
As pointed out by randompete on codeplex, another solution could be implementing your own IHtmlFilter. I wrote a simple implementation which you can find here: http://orchard.codeplex.com/discussions/279418
It basically post-processes the BodyPart text by replacing all occurences of urls starting with ~/ with a resolved url (using the UrlHelper.Content() method)
If you need to display a link pointing to a static resource, you can use:
#Html.Link(string textlink, string url)
But Html.Link doesn't supports application relatives urls (~/[...] ones)
if you need only the href (as for an img ). It supports ~/ urls.
src='#Href(string url)'
If you need to display a link to an action
#Html.ActionLink(...) <-- lots of overloads.

I am running Kentico 12.0.26 MVC.
When adding links via the inline widget editor (MediumEditor), the final URL that gets generated has a strange URL path, which is not a pretty URL for SEO.
http://localhost/cmsctx/pv/administrator/culture/en-US/wg/54e1b893-56a5-455b-9f89-37433f2f4365/readonly/0/ea/1/h/98d86f48b5376d0f10eb44df47afb782729ba12751defe6a5ce98c918950785e/-/products/Tube-Pipe-Systems/FL-WELD-P-ORB?uh=b0542cb25017b58c3ebde4855543bcea15269abf4d7458251db4ff128f2feb30&administrationdomain=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost
Not all links have this, but when this links where added, it was using the clean relative URL of the page, I think maybe after enabeling the Kentico culture feature, they somehow got update like that, but not all links got affected. I am still not entirely sure at what point to they get updated like that.
I also notice that links that are added via the page type editor (CKEditor) are fine and don't seem to run into this issue.
Please advise, thanks
I have an Orchard 1.6 site hosted on Windows Server 2012, IIS 8.5, .NET 4.0.
I need to add a link to a network-hosted file into my Orchard menus, where the network share is accessible from my web server - the destination file itself resides on a different server. I put in file://path/to/network/file in the Custom Link menu URL, but the base URL of the site always gets prepended to the link.
E.g., if my base URL is http://example.com, the link becomes http://example.com/file://path/to/network/file, and then .NET does not like the second : in the path - on top of it being the incorrect link. No combination of forward-slashes, backslashes, or other symbols prevents the prepended base URL.
To add another wrinkle to this, the same URL scheme works fine with a slightly different setup: Orchard 1.6, Windows Server 2008, IIS 7.0, .NET 4.0; web server and destination network URL are on the same server.
Is there a way to force Orchard to use the URL as given, without changing it at all? Alternatively, where is the code that constructs the final link?
Using a 'HTML menu item' instead of 'Custom link' to insert raw HTML as a link does work, but that seems like a pretty kludgy workaround; I have to do this for a few dozen links, and I won't necessarily be the one to change them later on.
I've looked into Orchard settings and IIS settings; neither has anything about rewriting links. Changing the base URL on Orchard to match the expected destination server doesn't work (and wouldn't be acceptable long-term). I've also tried hosting a temporary local file (c:\temp\test.txt) but I can't even get that to produce the correct file:// destination on the new setup.
Upgrading to the latest Orchard (1.8.x) is not a feasible solution (if that even ends up being a possible solution).
Edit:
I should clarify that both sites are on an intranet; I'm aware of the security implications associated with file:// links, and the problems with getting various browsers to load them properly, but I want to get the link generation working first.
Edit: problem source
I figured out why link handling was inconsistent between my own sites - I had written a small chunk of Javascript in the first site to strip the application's base URL for any file:// links it encountered. I forgot that it was there and hardcoded to remove only a certain base URL, so when I moved the site to a different hostname, it broke.
So, no inconsistency in Orchard, just my own faulty memory.
Orchard deliberately limits menu links to mailto, tel, http, and https protocols, and excludes all others, such as file and ftp (see navigationmanager.cs). If you want to use other protocols, you will have to use another type of menu item, but please keep in mind that the file protocol is unsafe and is not supported by all browsers, for security reasons (see for example http://kb.mozillazine.org/Links_to_local_pages_do_not_work). Even Internet Explorer has stopped supporting it in the Internet zone since IE6 SP1: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa767731(v=vs.85).aspx
Making a EXISTING CMS site compatible for mobile site NOT REDIRECT
Hi All.
I am currently creating a mobile version of an expression engine site that we use.
I am having problems with this, because typically I can just use media quires, or use redirect scripts.
However, the layout of the mobile site will be completely different from the desktop, so I can't just fiddle with a media quires for the CSS (as site just looks to different).
I was thinking of using a javascript to wipe the code or markup (php) if the device is mobile BUT it would mean perhaps loading two versions of code anytime a page loads up (not good for mobile). Eg one code for desktop and another for mobile.
I can't change the file names eg (mobile_index) because it is a CMS and the links wont link up correctly. I have tried this a few times , and also editing the .HTACCESS file, but it simply didnt work.
So if anyone knows how do I change the code of a page if the device mobile, but cant change file name, directory or any of that :-)
Cheers

Why no redirect? If I was in your position, which I was a few months ago, I would handle this totally different:
Install Multiple Site Manager by ExpressionEngine: http://expressionengine.com/user_guide/cp/sites/index.html
Add another site -- mobile
Give it a proper domainname like m.domain.com
Give it its own template group
... and redirect with http://github.com/sebarmeli/JS-Redirection-Mobile-Site/
Now you can manage both installations from the same CMS and both installations can access existing channels, modules, extensions and members. This will keep your code fast and clean.
Adding a bunch of conditionals will only slow down installation.
Actually you could mess with media queries - it's the most flexible. JS is really overkill for something like this. At larger sizes, UL>LI menus could appear, and at smaller sizes they could be hidden (display:none) and swapped to select lists; divs can be replaced, elements dropped or resized. I also combine them with different snippets or embeds so you can tailor the content out as well.
You might try something like MX Mobile Device Detect. It gives you some variables that can detect if the user is on a mobile device that you could use in conditionals in your templates.
Right I'll try and explain my situation as thoroughly as possible while also keeping it brief...
I'm just starting out as a web designer/developer, so I bought the unlimited hosting package with 123-reg. I set up a couple of websites, my main domain being designedbyross.co.uk. I have learnt how to map other domains to a folder within this directory. At the minute, one of my domains, scene63.com is mapped to designedbyross.co.uk/blog63 which is working fine for the home page. However when clicking on another link on scene63.com for example page 2, the URL changes to designedbyross.co.uk/blog63/page2...
I have been advised from someone at 123-reg that I need to write a .htaccess file and use the RewriteBase directive (whatever that is?!) I have looked on a few websites to try and help me understand this, including http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html however it all isn't making much sense at the moment.
Finally, scene63.com is a wordpress site, whether that makes any difference to how the htaccess file is structured I'm not sure...
Any help will be REALLY appreciated - Thanks.
I run my personal public website on Webfusion, which is another branded service offering by the same company on the same infrastructure, and my blog contains a bunch of articles (tagged Webfusion) on how to do this. You really need to do some reading and research -- the Apache docs, articles and HowTos like mine -- to help you get started and then come back with specific Qs, plus the supporting info that we need to answer them.
It sounds like you are using a 123 redirector service, or equivalent for scene63.com which hides the redirection in an iframe. The issue here is that if the links on your site use site-relative links then because the URI has been redirected to http://designedbyross.co.uk/blog6/... then any new pages will be homed in designedbyross.co.uk. (I had the same problem with my wife's business site which mapped the same way to one of my subdirectories).
What you need to do is to configure the blog so that its site base is http://scene63.com/ and to force explicit site-based links so that any hrefs in the pages are of the form http://scene63.com/page2, etc. How you do this depends on the blog engine, but most support this as an option.
It turned out to be a 123-reg problem at the time not correctly applying changes to the DNS.
A couple sites of mine recently got "hacked". Someone was able to add a line of JavaScript to the bottom of every page on the site.
The server is a Windows Server 2003, and has Cold Fusion 8 and MySQL 5.x installed and running.
Looking into the code on each page shows that none of the pages were modified. The JavaScript is not in the code files themselves. This leads me to believe it is an IIS problem, but I am unsure and cannot find anything that would be able to do this within IIS.
The JavaScript being added redirects a user to another page only when they come from Google, or at least it appears to work this way.
Any help on how someone was able to accomplish this as well as removing it would be greatly appreciated.
Another way to word the question thanks to #Jeffrey Hantin
How do you systematically modify output from IIS without modifying individual pages?
EDIT: A bit more testing has shown that only the .cfm pages add the extra javascript. Added a new .cfm and the js was there but a .html did not have it.
Edit2: Turns out to have been a coldfusion problem after all. Somehow the pages OnRequestEnd.cfm were created on the sites and added that js.
Looks like someone exploited some latest Adobe CF vulnerabilities.
Please see these blog posts for details and try to search symptoms on your server:

FCKEditor bug + this post
Hope this helps.
Turns out to have been a coldfusion problem after all. The page OnRequestEnd.cfm were created on the sites and added that js.
If you only want to use IIS to modify output, the ISAPI filter is probably the best answer. If you would like to use Coldfusion, you could utilize the application.cfc to modify output during certain parts of the request cycle or wrap all of your pages in a Custom Tag to consolidate the like portions of your page templates.
I have used both. In cases where my page headers and footers are all the same, the custom tag is fast and easy to use. To make changes to all the pages, you edit one custom tag file. In cases where I have a more complicated web application I'll use the application.cfc to store and insert common components where they are needed.
They might have guessed your password. You should change it immediately.
It's possible that an ISAPI filter is used to do this. I once used one myself to perform compression before IIS supported it natively.
In your specific situation, you may want to check for ISAPI filters you don't want installed. Of course, if your server has been compromised, you will likely be better off rebuilding from a known good image rather than trying to fix it in situ.
