I am trying to update my LMS to be TinCanAPI compliant and while I have been able to capture the statements for the beginning and the end of the Tetris Example game I have been unable to update the ActivityProfile calls to highscores as I am unsure as to what exactly is required to be returned.
I have the following WebAPI controller:
public class ActivitiesController : ApiController
{
private XAPIBiz xvm;
public ActivitiesController()
{
MetaLearning.Data.MetaLearningContext dbcontext = new MetaLearningContext(System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["MetaLearningContext"].ConnectionString);
xvm = new MetaLearning.Biz.XAPIBiz(dbcontext);
}
// GET api/activity/5
public string Get([FromUri]string profileId, [FromUri]string activityId)
{
return "[{actor:{name:John Paul}, score:9921, date:2014-04-07T14:42:46.492Z},{actor:{name:John Paul}, score:4000, date:2014-04-07T14:42:46.492Z}]";
//var test = profileId;
//var test2 = activityId;
//return "value";
}
.......
}
If I try to view the leaderboard when the course is hosted on Cloud.Scorm.Com then I am able to see the request to /activities/profile?profileId=highscores&activityId=http%3A%2F%2Ftincanapi.com%2FJsTetris_TCAPI
I get the response of
"[{actor:{name:John Paul}, score:9921, date:2014-04-07T14:42:46.492Z},{actor:{name:John Paul}, score:4000, date:2014-04-07T14:42:46.492Z}]"
But If I try to return just the string value of this for testing purposes I get a list of 137 undefined on the leaderboard.
If I return void in this controller action then the leaderboard appears blank.
If I save the text in this file as a json file and save to blob storage and then try to return a URI pointing to the file I get an undefined list of 66 names.
Any help in furthering my understanding of how the ActivityProfile API works would be greatly appreciated. What is the implementation on SCORM cloud?

I'm pretty new to ABP Framework and probably this question has a really simple answer, but I haven't managed to find it. Images are an important part of any app and handling them the best way (size, caching) is mandatory.
Scenario
setup a File System Blob Storing provider. This means that the upload file will be stored in the file system as an image file
make a service that uses a Blob container to save and retrieve the image. So, after saving it, I use the unique file name as a blob name. This name is used to retrieve it back.
the user is logged in, so authorization is required
I can easily obtain the byte[]s of the image by calling blobContainer.GetAllBytesOrNullAsync(blobName)
I want to easily display the image in <img> or in datatable row directly.
So, here is my question: is there an easy way to use a blob stored image as src of a <img> directly in a razor page? What I've managed to achieve is setting in the model, a source as a string made from image type + bytes converted to base 64 string (as here) however in this case I need to do it in the model and also I don't know if caching is used by the browser. I don't see how caching would work in this case.
I am aware that this may be a question more related to asp.net core, but I was thinking that maybe in abp there is some way via a link to access the image.
If you have the ID of the blob then it is easy to do. Just create a Endpoint to get the Image based on the blob id.
Here is the sample AppService
public class DocumentAppService : FileUploadAppService
{
private readonly IBlobContainer<DocumentContainer> _blobContainer;
private readonly IRepository<Document, Guid> _repository;
public DocumentAppService(IRepository<Document, Guid> repository, IBlobContainer<DocumentContainer> blobContainer)
{
_repository = repository;
_blobContainer = blobContainer;
}
public async Task<List<DocumentDto>> Upload([FromForm] List<IFormFile> files)
{
var output = new List<DocumentDto>();
foreach (var file in files)
{
using var memoryStream = new MemoryStream();
await file.CopyToAsync(memoryStream).ConfigureAwait(false);
var id = Guid.NewGuid();
var newFile = new Document(id, file.Length, file.ContentType, CurrentTenant.Id);
var created = await _repository.InsertAsync(newFile);
await _blobContainer.SaveAsync(id.ToString(), memoryStream.ToArray()).ConfigureAwait(false);
output.Add(ObjectMapper.Map<Document, DocumentDto>(newFile));
}
return output;
}
public async Task<FileResult> Get(Guid id)
{
var currentFile = _repository.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Id == id);
if (currentFile != null)
{
var myfile = await _blobContainer.GetAllBytesOrNullAsync(id.ToString());
return new FileContentResult(myfile, currentFile.MimeType);
}
throw new FileNotFoundException();
}
}
Upload function will upload the files and Get function will get the file.
Now set the Get route as a src for the image.

I have an association controller called ConnectionManagerCategoriesController. It has two Get methods on it. One to get all Categories for a ConnectionManager and one to only retrieve one Categoy for the ConnectionManager based upon the name. I have a Post to create a new category and I am trying to generate a uri for LinkGenerator. However when the URI that is created, it uses the GetConnectionManagerCategories method instead of the GetConnectionManagerCategory. I dont know why or how to do it differently.:
[Route("api/connectionmanagers/{connectionManagerID:int}/categories")]
[ApiController]
public class ConnectionManagerCategoriesController : ControllerBase
{
private readonly LinkGenerator _linkGenerator;
[HttpGet]
public async Task<ActionResult<IEnumerable<ConnectionManagerModel>>> GetConnectionManagerCategoriesAsync(int connectionManagerID){}
[HttpGet("{categoryName}", Name = "GetConnectionManagerCategoryAsync")]
public async Task<ActionResult<ConnectionCategoryModel>> GetConnectionManagerCategoryAsync(int connectionManagerID, string categoryName){}
[HttpPost]
public async Task<ActionResult<ConnectionCategoryModel>> AddConnectionCategoryAsync(int connectionManagerID, string categoryName, [FromHeader(Name = "x-requestid")] string requestId)
{
var url = _linkGenerator.GetUriByRouteValues(HttpContext,
"GetConnectionManagerCategoryAsync",
values: new { connectionManagerID, categoryName = commandResult.CategoryName });
return Created(url, commandResult);
}
It returns the following uri to Swagger: 'http://localhost:6704/api/connectionmanagers/1/categories?categoryName=Almost'
However, when I log the uri in the code it is: http://localhost:6704/api/connectionmanagers/1/categories/newvalueadded
Is this even possible?
You have to show how are trying to run the action, in order to get some explanations. Routing is very tricky and it is better not to try to create routes the way you are creating.
IMHO , it is always a good idea to define the whole route, not just the part. Especially if you use Swager
[HttpGet("{~/api/connectionmanagers/{connectionManagerID:int}/categories/{categoryName}")]
public async Task<ActionResult<ConnectionCategoryModel>> GetConnectionManagerCategoryAsync(int connectionManagerID, string categoryName){}
This first method is fine. But when I add the second method the body of the SWAGGER UI is a bunch of html gibberish. And I creating the route the wrong way?
// GET api/checklist/1288
[HttpGet("{id}")]
public async Task<IActionResult> Get(int id)
{
var model = _checkListService.Get(id);
return Ok(model);
}
// http://localhost:64783/api/checklist/GetDelinquentItems?id=1288
[Route("GetDelinquentItems")]
public async Task<IActionResult> GetDelinquentItems(int id)
{
var model = _checkListService.GetDelinquentItems(id);
return Ok(model);
}
That 'html gibberish' (indeed not the most elegant way to show an error) still contains some useful information. The first line says:
500 internal server error
and in the last three lines you can read:
Ambiguos HTTP method for action...CheckListController.GetDelinquentItems... Actions require explicit HttpMethod binding for Swagger
therefore another
[HttpGet("{id}")]
before the GetDelinquentItems() method should solve the problem.
I am consuming an API mehod and it returns response as of type Product and below is the response class structure.
Public class Product
{
public int Id;
public string Name;
public IList<Product> MasterProduct { get; set; }
}
The API result include the product attributes along with IList. Since this API cannot be consumed directly though our windows client we have a wrapper web API which consume this API, for this in the local API we have defined similar Product class. The issue I am facing is when trying to map the attibues of external API with local. Below is what I am trying to do.
response = Response.Result.Select(x => new Product
{
Id=x.Id,
Name=x.Name
MasterProduct = x.MasterProduct.Cast<MasterProduct>().ToList()//tried below
}).ToList();
but it fails with error as - Unable to cast object of type 'Api.Models.Product' to type 'App.DataContracts.Product'
The Masterproduct consist of hierarchal data .I am wondering if the approach I am taking is right or it has to be done through some method. Any suggestion or help would be appreciated.
Upon searching the web I came across some code where serpare method is being called to parse using Microsoft.Its.Data, but this was for single object where as in my case I have a List(Hierarchical).
Appreciate if someone can point to some linke/sampel to achive the same.
Trying serialization/deserialization would do. Below is the code
Perhaps trying serialization/deserialization would do.
if (response.Result != null)
{
var serializedResponse = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(Response.Result, Formatting.Indented);
response = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Product>>(serializedResponse);
}).ToList();
return response;
I doubt anyone has specific experience related to this particular task, but maybe you can spot my problem. I'm trying to make a call to lithium (forum software) to place a vote in their poll, and their docs show this:
Example URL:
http://community.lithium.com/community-name/restapi/vc/polls/id/15/votes/place
Query Arguments:
poll.choice (required): - the choice to place the vote for. The choice is specified by a string of the form id/choice_id where choice_id is the id of the poll choice
Http Method:
POST
So my code looks something like this:
Dim _Response As New XmlDocument
Dim RestApiRoot As String = "http://example.com/community-name/restapi/vc/polls/id/6/votes/place"
APIRequest = WebRequest.Create(RestApiRoot)
APIRequest.Method = "POST"
APIRequest.Headers.Add("poll.choice", HttpContext.Current.Server.UrlEncode("id/" & _choiceID.ToString))
APIResponse = APIRequest.GetResponse()
APIReader = New StreamReader(APIResponse.GetResponseStream())
_Response.LoadXml(APIReader.ReadToEnd())
APIResponse.Close()
I'm not able to successfully register a vote and they say it's because the poll.choice param is not appearing in the header, but if I step through debugging, I see it in the Header Keys/Items just fine.
Anyone have any clue what I might be doing wrong?
I do exactly this with RestSharp, an open source REST framework. It works great with the Lithium REST API.
You're code will look something like this using RestSharp:
You'll create a class to look like the response from the Lithium API, in this case "Response". It will look like this (sorry, you'll have to translate this to VB.NET):
public class LithiumResponse
{
public string status { get; set; }
public string value { get; set; }
public string message { get; set; }
}
Now RestSharp will use that to capture the result like this:
// create the request
var request = new RestRequest();
request.Verb = Method.POST;
request.BaseUrl = "http://example.com/community-name";
// specify the action
request.Action = "restapi/vc/polls/id/6/votes/place";
// add the parameters
request.AddParameter("poll.choice", "id/" + _choiceID.ToString());
// now create a RestClient to execute the request,
// telling it to put the results in your "reponse" class
var client = new RestClient();
var lithiumresponse = client.Execute<LithiumResponse>(request);
// now you can check the status property of your class to
// see if it was successful
if (lithiumresponse.status == "success")
// you successfully placed a vote
I use RestSharp for a lot of interaction with the Lithium API and it makes it brain-dead simple. Pretty awesome library.
