Show alert after action in mvc3/4 - asp.net-mvc-4

I need to inform user about success/failure of clicked operation. In view I've prepared action link that goes to controller, performs database operation and returns with result. Then I'd like to show alert with message "done" or "failure". Everything should be done without reloading page. I've tried to define #Ajax.ActionLink and text/javascript function but it doesn't work at all... Please help. Thanks in advance.

Firstly you should include scripts: jquery and jquery.unobtrusive-ajax like:
<head>
...
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.8.2.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
Inside View:
<script type="text/javascript">
function myCallback(data) {
if(!data.Success)
{
alert(data.ErrorMessage);
}
else
{
alert("id: " + data.Id);
}
}
</script>
#Ajax.ActionLink("Actionlink", // <-- Text to display
"GetDeneme", // <-- Action Method Name
new { id = "2"},
new AjaxOptions
{
HttpMethod = "POST", // <-- HTTP method
OnSuccess = "myCallback"
})
In Controller:
public ActionResult GetDeneme(string id)
{
var error = (id == "3");
if (error)
{
return Json(new { Success = false, ErrorMessage = "Error!" });
}
return Json(new { Success = true, Id = id });
}

SignalR cannot read property 'chatterHub' undefined

I must have something out of order. I checked in Chrome inspector the signalr/hubs defines 'chatterHub'. Below is signalr/hubs. (is it generated? if yes, by what and when?)

Thanks,
I found it. the page source shown in Chrome inspector like this
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-2.0.3.js"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-ui-1.10.3.js"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/jquery.signalR-2.0.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/signalr/hubs" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-2.0.3.min.js"></script>
<script>
$(function () {
// the client proxy object chat takes all the work communicating to the server
var chat = $.hubConnection.chatterHub; // client proxy object starts lowercase. The server Class starts uppercase
Obviously jquery-2.0.3 was loaded twice. I removed
<script src="/Scripts/jquery-2.0.3.min.js"></script>
and it worked.

Pass selected item from drop down list to viewmodel

I have four controls on the page, a simple form with first and last names, date of birth and this drop down that contains some names of countries. When I make changes to the these controls I am able to see those changes in my viewModel that is passed in as a parameter in the SavePersonDetails POST below, but I never see the LocationId updated in that view model and I am not sure why.
This is what I have in my markup, Index.cshtml:
#model Mvc4withKnockoutJsWalkThrough.ViewModel.PersonViewModel
#using System.Globalization
#using Mvc4withKnockoutJsWalkThrough.Helper
#section styles{
#Styles.Render("~/Content/themes/base/css")
<link href="~/Content/Person.css" rel="stylesheet" />
}
#section scripts{
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jqueryui")
<script src="~/Scripts/knockout-2.1.0.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/knockout.mapping-latest.js"></script>
<script src="~/Scripts/Application/Person.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
Person.SaveUrl = '#Url.Action("SavePersonDetails", "Person")';
Person.ViewModel = ko.mapping.fromJS(#Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model)));
var userObject = '#Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model))';
var locationsArray = '#Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model.Locations))';
var vm = {
user : ko.observable(userObject),
availableLocations: ko.observableArray(locationsArray)
};
ko.applyBindings(vm);
</script>
}
<form>
<p data-bind="with: user">
Your country:
<select data-bind="options: $root.availableLocations, optionsText: 'Text', optionsValue: 'Value', value: LocationID, optionsCaption: 'Choose...'">
</select>
</p>
</form>
This is my View Model:
public class PersonViewModel
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string FirstName { get; set; }
public string LastName { get; set; }
public DateTime DateOfBirth { get; set; }
public string LocationId { get; set; }
public IEnumerable<SelectListItem> Locations { get; set; }
}
I have a simple controller that loads my Person and a drop down list containing three countries.
private PersonViewModel _viewModel;
public ActionResult Index()
{
var locations = new[]
{
new SelectListItem { Value = "US", Text = "United States" },
new SelectListItem { Value = "CA", Text = "Canada" },
new SelectListItem { Value = "MX", Text = "Mexico" },
};
_viewModel = new PersonViewModel
{
Id = 1,
FirstName = "Test",
LastName = "Person",
DateOfBirth = new DateTime(2000, 11, 12),
LocationId = "", // I want this value to get SET when the user changes their selection in the page
Locations = locations
};
_viewModel.Locations = locations;
return View(_viewModel);
}
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult SavePersonDetails(PersonViewModel viewModel)
{
int id = -1;
SqlConnection myConnection = new SqlConnection("server=myMachine;Trusted_Connection=yes;database=test;connection timeout=30");
try
{
// omitted
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
}
finally
{
myConnection.Close();
}
return Json(id, "json");
}
Lastly, here is my Person.js file, I am using knockout
var Person = {
PrepareKo: function () {
ko.bindingHandlers.date = {
init: function (element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor, viewModel) {
element.onchange = function () {
var observable = valueAccessor();
observable(new Date(element.value));
}
},
update: function (element, valueAccessor, allBindingsAccessor, viewModel) {
var observable = valueAccessor();
var valueUnwrapped = ko.utils.unwrapObservable(observable);
if ((typeof valueUnwrapped == 'string' || valueUnwrapped instanceof String) && valueUnwrapped.indexOf('/Date') === 0) {
var parsedDate = Person.ParseJsonDate(valueUnwrapped);
element.value = parsedDate.getMonth() + 1 + "/" + parsedDate.getDate() + "/" + parsedDate.getFullYear();
observable(parsedDate);
}
}
};
},
ParseJsonDate: function (jsonDate) {
return new Date(parseInt(jsonDate.substr(6)));
},
BindUIwithViewModel: function (viewModel) {
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);
},
EvaluateJqueryUI: function () {
$('.dateInput').datepicker();
},
RegisterUIEventHandlers: function () {
$('#Save').click(function (e) {
// Check whether the form is valid. Note: Remove this check, if you are not using HTML5
if (document.forms[0].checkValidity()) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: Person.SaveUrl,
data: ko.toJSON(Person.ViewModel),
contentType: 'application/json',
async: true,
beforeSend: function () {
// Display loading image
},
success: function (result) {
// Handle the response here.
if (result > 0) {
alert("Saved");
} else {
alert("There was an issue");
}
},
complete: function () {
// Hide loading image.
},
error: function (jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
// Handle error.
}
});
}
});
},
};
$(document).ready(function () {
Person.PrepareKo();
Person.BindUIwithViewModel(Person.ViewModel);
Person.EvaluateJqueryUI();
Person.RegisterUIEventHandlers();
});
As you can see, I have the data in the page but none of them show as selected
Your solution is overly complex and is leading to certain weirdness with your data. Instead of trying to patch the Titanic, your best bet is to start over and simplify:
Your page's model contains all the information you need. There's no need to try to create two totally separate view models to work with the user data versus locations. With the mapping plugin, you can specify different "view models" for various objects in your main view model, and there's a simpler pattern that can be followed to set all that up. Here's what I would do:
// The following goes in external JS file
var PersonEditor = function () {
var _init = function (person) {
var viewModel = PersonEditor.PersonViewModel(person);
ko.applyBindings(viewModel);
_wireEvents(viewModel);
}
var _wireEvents = function (viewModel) {
// event handlers here
}
return {
Init: _init
}
}();
PersonEditor.PersonViewModel = function (person) {
var mapping = {
'Locations': {
create: function (options) {
return new PersonEditor.LocationViewModel(options.data)
}
}
}
var model = ko.mapping.fromJS(person, mapping);
// additional person logic and observables
return model;
}
PersonEditor.LocationViewModel = function (location) {
var model = ko.mapping.fromJS(location);
// additional location logic and observables
return model;
}
// the following is all you put on the page
<script src="/path/to/person-editor.js"></script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
var person = #Html.Raw(#Json.Encode(Model))
PersonEditor.Init(person);
});
</script>
Then all you need to bind the select list to the locations array is:
<p>
Your country:
<select data-bind="options: Locations, optionsText: 'Text', optionsValue: 'Value', value: LocationId, optionsCaption: 'Choose...'">
</select>
</p>
Based on your updated question, do this.
1.We do not need locationsArray actually. Its already in user.Locations (silly me)
2.On Index.cshtml, page change the JavaScript like this.
var userObject = #Html.Raw(Json.Encode(Model)); // no need for the quotes here
jQuery(document).ready(function ($) {
Person.PrepareKo();
Person.EvaluateJqueryUI();
Person.RegisterUIEventHandlers();
Person.SaveUrl = "#Url.Action("SavePersonDetails", "Knockout")";
Person.ViewModel = {
user : ko.observable(userObject)
};
Person.BindUIwithViewModel(Person.ViewModel);
});
3.On your Person.js page, inside RegisterUIEventHandlers #Save button click event, do this.
$('#Save').click(function (e) {
var updatedUser = Person.ViewModel.user();
updatedUser.Locations.length = 0; // not mandatory, but we don't need to send extra payload back to server.
// Check whether the form is valid. Note: Remove this check, if you are not using HTML5
if (document.forms[0].checkValidity()) {
e.preventDefault();
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: Person.SaveUrl,
data: ko.toJSON(updatedUser), // Data Transfer Object
contentType: 'application/json',
beforeSend: function () {
// Display loading image
}
}).done(function(result) {
// Handle the response here.
if (result > 0) {
alert("Saved");
} else {
alert("There was an issue");
}
}).fail(function(jqXHR, textStatus, errorThrown) {
// Handle error.
}).always(function() {
// Hide loading image.
});
}
});
5.Finally, our markup
<p data-bind="with: user">
Your country:
<select data-bind="options: Locations,
optionsText: 'Text',
optionsValue: 'Value',
value: LocationId,
optionsCaption: 'Choose...'">
</select>
</p>
On an unrelated side-note,
The jqXHR.success(), jqXHR.error(), and jqXHR.complete() callbacks are
deprecated as of jQuery 1.8. To prepare your code for their eventual
removal, use jqXHR.done(), jqXHR.fail(), and jqXHR.always() instead.

MVC 4 theme switching with Ajax.ActionLinks

The full text of this question is available with a screenshot here
Thanks for any help - original post follows:
So I downloaded the MvcMusicStore and fired up the completed project. I read all the articles talking about extending the view engine and using jquery plugins but I wanted to believe it could be simpler than that to just change the CSS file path when a link gets clicked. Mainly because I didn't want to copy code verbatim that I didn't fully understand. I'm very new to MVC.
So this is what I did:
To HomeController.cs I added:
public ActionResult Theme(string themeName)
{
ViewBag.Theme = ThemeModel.GetSetThemeCookie(themeName);
return View();
}
to Models I added this class:
public class ThemeModel
{
public static string GetSetThemeCookie(string theme)
{
HttpCookie cookie = HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies.Get("userTheme");
string rv = "Blue";
if (theme != null)
rv = theme;
else
{
if (cookie != null)
rv = cookie["themeName"];
else
rv = "Blue";
}
cookie = new HttpCookie("userTheme");
HttpContext.Current.Response.Cookies.Remove("userTheme");
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(100);
cookie["themeName"] = rv;
HttpContext.Current.Response.SetCookie(cookie);
return rv;
}
}
I then created 2 copies of Site.css, changing only the background color and font-family and a view to generate my link tag.
<link href="#Url.Content(string.Format("~/Content/{0}.css", ViewBag.Theme))" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Finally, I made these changes to my _Layout.cshtml.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>#ViewBag.Title</title>
#if (ViewBag.Theme == null) {Html.RenderAction("Theme", "Home");}
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.4.4.min.js")"
type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div id="header">
<h1>ASP.NET MVC MUSIC STORE</h1>
<ul id="navlist">
<li class="first">Home</li>
<li>Store</li>
<li>#{Html.RenderAction("CartSummary", "ShoppingCart");}</li>
<li>Admin</li>
</ul>
</div>
#{Html.RenderAction("GenreMenu", "Store");}
<div id="main">
#RenderBody()
</div>
<div id="footer">
Themes: #Ajax.ActionLink("Coral", "Theme", "Home", new { themeName = "Coral" }, null, new { #style = "color : coral"} )
#Ajax.ActionLink("Blue", "Theme", "Home", new { themeName = "Blue" }, null, new { #style = "color : blue;"})
</div>
</body>
</html>
When I run the app I get the general layout rendered twice. Once with only the genre menu rendered on the left and nothing in the body. And then again with the top 5 albums. I can't post the image as I don't have enough rep.
When I click my Coral and Blue links, my theme changes and I get just the one set without the top 5 albums.
So after some more reading on here I tried this:
_Layout.cshtml:
#{Html.RenderAction("Theme", "Home");}
HomeController.cs
public ActionResult Theme(string themeName)
{
ViewBag.Theme = ThemeModel.GetSetThemeCookie(themeName);
return PartialView();
}
But even though this stops the duplicate rendering, when I click the theme link, the colour changes but I get absolutely nothing else on the page.
Well and truly flummoxed now and could really use some help.
Cheers,
.pd.
Okay - here's how I did it in the end.
Create a javascript file. Mine's called master.js:
function ajaxSuccSetTheme(theme) {
$('#linkTheme').attr('href', '/Content/' + theme + '.css');
}
Modify the _Layout.cshtml:
#{
if (ViewBag.Theme == null) {
ViewBag.Theme = MvcMusicStore.Models.ThemeModel.GetSetThemeCookie();
}
}
<link id="linkTheme" href="#Url.Content(string.Format("~/Content/{0}.css", ViewBag.Theme))" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-2.0.3.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/master.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
Notes on this:
The first time the page loads Theme will not have been written to the ViewBag
Give the <link> tag the same ID as the jQuery selector in your js file above
Update unobtrusive ajax jQuery file to the same version as your jQuery lib. Your Ajax.ActionLink won't work without it.
Then my theme switching links in _Layout.cshtml look like this:
<div id="footer">
Themes :
#Ajax.ActionLink("Coral", "Theme", "Home", new { themeName = "Coral" },
new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "POST", OnSuccess = string.Format("ajaxSuccSetTheme('{0}');", "Coral")},
new { #style = "color : coral;" }) |
#Ajax.ActionLink("Blue", "Theme", "Home", new { themeName = "Blue" },
new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "POST", OnSuccess = string.Format("ajaxSuccSetTheme('{0}');", "Blue")},
new { #style = "color : blue;" })
</div>
Notes on that:
themeName = "whatever" is the argument to your Theme Controller method. this gets passed to the cookie method in the ThemeModel
method = POST so IE doesn't cache it and I've read a couple other questions that got solved by not doing a GET
you have to kludge your own args to the OnSuccess js callback
Next the HomeController.cs change:
public ActionResult Theme(string themeName)
{
ViewBag.Theme = ThemeModel.GetSetThemeCookie(themeName);
if (Request.IsAjaxRequest())
{
return PartialView();
}
else
{
return null;
}
}
Honestly, it doesn't matter if you just return null without checking for IsAjaxRequest() cuz all we need from this is to set the cookie so it remembers when you next login.
Which just leaves the cookie setting method in the ThemeModel:
public class ThemeModel
{
public static string GetSetThemeCookie(string theme = null)
{
HttpCookie cookie = HttpContext.Current.Request.Cookies.Get("userTheme");
string rv = "Blue";
if (theme != null)
rv = theme;
else
{
if (cookie != null)
rv = cookie["themeName"];
else
{
cookie = new HttpCookie("userTheme");
rv = "Blue";
}
}
cookie.Expires = DateTime.Now.AddYears(100);
cookie["themeName"] = rv;
HttpContext.Current.Response.SetCookie(cookie);
return rv;
}
}
Hope I helped somebody. If you'd rather do it all in jQuery here's Tim Vanfosson's Theme Manager jQuery Plugin

How to refilter a dojo DataGrid?

I have a DataGrid that I already filtered using grid.filter(query, rerender). If I add another item, after calling save() I see the new item in the grid even though it shouldn't display because of the filter. I'm thinking "ok, I'll just filter it again when the store finishes saving. But after calling grid.filter with the same query all the rows disappear. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Code to filter the grid:
var filterQuery = dijit.byId("filterTextbox").attr("value");
var grid = dijit.byId("grid");
var queryValue = "*";
if(filterQuery != ""){
queryValue += filterQuery + "*";
}
grid.filter({name: queryValue}, true);
Code to add new items to the grid
function addItemToGrid(newItemName){
var newItem = {name: newItemName};
var grid = dijit.byId("grid");
var store = grid.store;
store.addItem(newItem);
store.save();
}
Try to use:
store.newItem(newItem);
instead of store.addItem(newItem);
(addItem is not a standard method to add items into store)
Inside of your addItemToGrid function, try adding an onComplete listener to your save method and sort or filter the grid in the onComplete function
store.save({onComplete: function() {
grid.filter({name: queryValue}, true);
}
});
I had the same problem and only managed to fix it by running the grid filter periodically in the background with the help of some jQuery. Here is some sample code; hope this helps someone else having problems with this.
// ADD JQUERY
