I've been Following this post To get my head around Lazy field of T, Which I think I understand, But I'm having trouble getting associated Field Data for a Part loaded this way
Aim - To show photo of blog post author on a blog post.
I want to add a content part "Content Author"
The part Editor should appear as a drop down list of orchard users.
(regardless of the content owner cms users should be able to pick the author)
I have added an image upload field to the User Content Type
I want to show the image of the user on the front end in the view for the Content Author Part
For the first part I have created the content type and used the lazy Filed of UserPart to get the username. However when I try and get the associated fields for the UserPart. There dosent seem to be any.
public class ContentAuthorRecord : ContentPartRecord
{
public virtual string AuthorEmail { get; set; }
}
public class ContentAuthorPart : ContentPart<ContentAuthorRecord>
{
internal readonly LazyField<UserPart> Owner = new LazyField<UserPart>();
public string AuthorEmail
{
get { return Record.AuthorEmail; }
set { Record.AuthorEmail = value; }
}
public UserPart Author
{
get { return Owner.Value; }
set { Owner.Value = value; }
}
public string AuthorName
{
get
{
if (Author == null)
return "Riders for health";
else
{
return Author.UserName;
}
}
}
}
public class ContentAuthorHandler :ContentHandler
{
private readonly IContentManager _contentManager;
public ContentAuthorHandler(IRepository<ContentAuthorRecord> repository, IContentManager contentManager)
{
_contentManager = contentManager;
OnActivated<ContentAuthorPart>(SetUpCustomPart);
Filters.Add(StorageFilter.For(repository));
}
private void SetUpCustomPart(ActivatedContentContext content, ContentAuthorPart part)
{
// Setup the getter of the lazy field
part.Owner.Loader(() => _contentManager.Query<UserPart, UserPartRecord>().List().FirstOrDefault(x => x.Email == part.AuthorEmail));
}
}
I would expect to be able to access the field with something like
(ImageUploadField.Fields.ImageUploadField)Author.Fields.FirstOrDefault(x
=> x.Name == "Photo");
form the within the part class
( although this makes every thing a bit brittle, hard coding a field name, but I'm not sure how eles to go about it)
Further Info
I have a HeaderPart with a Image field added via the cms (not in code) in the display handler I fetch the field like this
protected override DriverResult Display(HeaderPart part, string displayType, dynamic shapeHelper)
{
if (part.HeaderType == HeaderType.Full_width_hero_image)
{
var field = (ImageUploadField) part.Fields.FirstOrDefault(f => f.Name == "HeaderImage");
if (field != null)
{
return ContentShape("Parts_Header_ImageHero",
() => shapeHelper.Parts_Header_ImageHero(ImagePath: field.ImagePath, ImageTitle: field.FileName));
}
return null;
}
if (part.HeaderType == HeaderType.Full_width_hero_video)
{
return ContentShape("Parts_Header_VideoHero", () => shapeHelper.Parts_Header_VideoHero(VideoUrl: part.VideoUrl));
}
if (part.HeaderType == HeaderType.Body_width_video)
{
return ContentShape("Parts_Header_VideoBody", () => shapeHelper.Parts_Header_VideoBody(VideoUrl: part.VideoUrl));
}
return null;
}
This works, But I can do the same for a part loaded into a lazy field.
Cast to dynamic first, then the syntax becomes much simpler: ((dynamic)part.ContentItem).NameOfTheType.NameOfTheField.NameOfTheProperty
If you have added the fields to the User content type via the CMS interface, it may have added the fields to a different part to the one you expect. If you are adding fields to the User content type, by default it will have added the fields to a new part called 'User', not 'UserPart'. Try to following to search all parts in the content item:
(ImageUploadField.Fields.ImageUploadField)Author.ContentItem.Parts
.SelectMany(p => p.Fields).FirstOrDefault(f => f.Name == "Photo");
or directly from the 'User' part:
(ImageUploadField.Fields.ImageUploadField)Author.ContentItem.Parts
.First(p => p.PartDefinition.Name == p.ContentItem.ContentType).Fields
.FirstOrDefault(f => f.Name == "Photo");

My application has a requirement that is should be able to filter/search for Pairs by the Number of the related Contact.
A Pair always has a reference to a Contact stored, but the number of the contact is not, and will not, be stored in the reference. So I tried to create a custom index for this, because the Pair and Contact are stored in different collections.
A simplified example of the index looks like this.
public class Pairs_Search : AbstractMultiMapIndexCreationTask<Pairs_Search.Result>
{
public class Result
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Workspace { get; set; }
public ContactResult Contact { get; set; }
public bool HasContactDetails { get; set; }
}
public class ContactResult
{
public string Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int Number { get; set; }
}
public Pairs_Search()
{
AddMap<Pair>(pairs => pairs
.Select(p => new
{
p.Id,
p.Workspace,
Contact = new
{
p.Contact.Id,
p.Contact.Name,
Number = 0
},
// Mark this items as WITHOUT contact details.
HasContactDetails = false,
}
)
);
AddMap<Contact>(contacts => contacts
.Select(c => new
{
Id = (string) null,
Workspace = (string) null,
Contact = new
{
c.Id,
Name = c.DisplayName,
c.Number
},
// Mark this items as WITH contact details.
HasContactDetails = true,
}
)
);
Reduce = results => results
// First group by the contact ID. This will
// create a group with 2 or more items. One with the contact
// details, and one or more with pair details.
// They are all marked by a boolean flag 'HasContactDetails'.
.GroupBy(x => x.Contact.Id)
// We are going to enrich each item in the current group, that is
// marked as 'HasContactDetails = false', with the contact number.
// We need that so that we can filter on it later.
.Select(group =>
group
.Select(i => new
{
i.Id,
i.Workspace,
Contact = new
{
i.Contact.Id,
i.Contact.Name,
// Does the current item have the contact details?
Number = i.HasContactDetails
// Yes, in this case we use the previously set contact number.
? i.Contact.Number
// No, find the item with the contact details and grab the number.
: group.Single(x => x.HasContactDetails).Contact.Number
},
// Pass on the flag that indicates wheter or not
// this item has the contact details. We are going
// to need it later.
i.HasContactDetails
}
)
// We don't need the items with the contact details
// anymore, so filter them out.
.Where(x => !x.HasContactDetails)
)
// Flatten all the small lists to one big list.
.SelectMany(x => x);
// Mark the following fields of the result as searchable.
Index(x => x.Contact.Number, FieldIndexing.Search);
}
}
I've setup a full example that reproduces the issues I am having. You can find the example here.
Creating the index works fine. Querying the index works fine also as it properly matched the pair and contact and enriched the index result with the number of the contact. But when I try to use a .Where() or .Search() on the nested Number property it fails to properly filter the result dataset from the index.
The index without any filtering works as you can see in below code example (also available in the full example).
private static async Task ThisOneWorks()
{
using (var session = Store.OpenAsyncSession())
{
var results = await session
.Query<Pairs_Search.Result, Pairs_Search>()
.ToListAsync();
LogResults("ThisOneWorks()", results);
}
// Output:
// ThisOneWorks(): Pair 'Harry Potter' with number '70'
// ThisOneWorks(): Pair 'Harry Potter' with number '70'
// ThisOneWorks(): Pair 'Hermione Granger' with number '71'
// ThisOneWorks(): Pair 'Albus Dumbledore' with number '72'
}
Filtering on a non-nested value also works (also available in the full example). As you can see it filters out the one with a different workspace.
private static async Task ThisOneWithWorkspaceFilterWorks()
{
using (var session = Store.OpenAsyncSession())
{
var results = await session
.Query<Pairs_Search.Result, Pairs_Search>()
.Where(x => x.Workspace == "hogwarts")
.ToListAsync();
LogResults("ThisOneWithWorkspaceFilterWorks()", results);
}
// Output:
// ThisOneWithWorkspaceFilterWorks(): Pair 'Harry Potter' with number '70'
// ThisOneWithWorkspaceFilterWorks(): Pair 'Harry Potter' with number '70'
// ThisOneWithWorkspaceFilterWorks(): Pair 'Hermione Granger' with number '71'
}
When I try to filter/search on the Workspace and Number properties I would expect two results that are related to the contact Harry Potter. But instead I just get an empty dataset back.
private static async Task ThisOneWithWorkspaceAndNumberFilterDoesntWork()
{
using (var session = Store.OpenAsyncSession())
{
var results = await session
.Query<Pairs_Search.Result, Pairs_Search>()
.Where(x => x.Workspace == "hogwarts")
.Where(x => x.Contact.Number == 70)
.ToListAsync();
LogResults("ThisOneWithWorkspaceAndNumberFilterDoesntWork()", results);
}
// Output:
// ThisOneWithWorkspaceAndNumberFilterDoesntWork(): EMPTY RESULTS!
}
Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong here? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
The way to go about it is to store ContactResult in a different collection,
which is what is called a related document in this case,
and when you create the index then you 'Index the Related Document'
Learn from the demo example in:
https://demo.ravendb.net/demos/csharp/related-documents/index-related-documents
The example is for a basic map index but the principle is the same for Multi-Map.
Remove the public class ContactResult from the index class
and define the index with something like:
select new Result
{
....
Number = LoadDocument<Contact>(Pair.Contact).Number
....
}
I want to prevent documents from being deleted in my project and I decided to use metadata to mark document as Archived. I used below code to do that:
public class DeleteDocumentListener : IDocumentDeleteListener
{
public void BeforeDelete(string key, object entityInstance, RavenJObject metadata)
{
metadata.Add("Archived", true);
throw new NotSupportedException();
}
}
After that I wanted to alter query to return only documents which have Archived metadata value set to false:
using (var session = _store.OpenSession())
{
var query = session.Advanced.DocumentQuery<Cutter>()
.WhereEquals("#metadata.Archived", false);
}
Unfortunately this query return empty result set. It occurs that if Document doesn't have this metadata property then above condition is treated as false. It wasn't what I expected.
How can I compose query to return Documents which don't have metadata property or this property has some value ?
You can solve it by creating an index for you Cutter documents and then query against that:
public class ArchivedIndex : AbstractIndexCreationTask<Cutter>
{
public class QueryModel
{
public bool Archived { get; set; }
}
public ArchivedIndex()
{
Map = documents => from doc in documents
select new QueryModel
{
Archived = MetadataFor(doc)["Archived"] != null && MetadataFor(doc).Value<bool>("Archived")
};
}
}
Then query it like this:
using (var session = documentStore.OpenSession())
{
var cutters = session.Query<ArchivedIndex.QueryModel, ArchivedIndex>()
.Where(x => x.Archived == false)
.OfType<Cutter>()
.ToList();
}
Hope this helps!
Quick side note. To create the index, the following code may need to be run:
new ArchivedIndex().Execute(session.Advanced.DocumentStore);
I want to check instantly, after i type something in text box, if a record exist in my database. I managed to return on my page number of how many times record exist in database, but i want to return a message (if exists or not).
So, the question is: How can I display a message if record exist or not?
PS. I`m using ASP.NET MVC
Here is my code:
Model class:
public class AdminModel
{
[Remote("IsUniq", "Home", HttpMethod = "POST")]
public string FirstName { get; set; }
}
My controller action(HomeController):
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult IsUniq(string FirstName)
{
IPAdressProgramEntities r = new IPAdressProgramEntities();
var user = r.spLineExist(FirstName);//spLineExist - procedure in SQL- return how many time record exist in database
return Json(user); //return on my page how many times record exists
}
And this is my view:
#using (Html.BeginForm())
{
<div class="editor-field">
#Html.EditorFor(model => model.FirstName)
#Html.ValidationMessageFor(model => model.FirstName)
</div>
}
PS WebConfig is configured and also scripts are included in my view.
Thank you.
If you simply want to show message when your count is greater than 0, Add an Error message property to your data annotation.
[Remote("IsUniq", "Home", HttpMethod = "POST", ErrorMessage = "Exist")]
public string FirstName { get; set; }
and return true of false from your action method. To show the error message, you need to return false from the method.
var responseToSend = user!=0; //user is the count returned by your existing code
return Json(responseToSend);
If you want to show both the messages (Exists/ Not exists), you may consider handling the check yourself with a little jQuery ajax call than relying on the remote data annotation. So simply remove the data annotation.
And listen to the keyup event on this input field, read the value, send to server to check it exist or not, based on the result, show appropriate message
$(function () {
$("#FirstName")
.keyup(function () {
$.post('/Home/IsUniq?FirstName=' + $(this).val(), function (res) {
if (res) {
$("span[data-valmsg-for='FirstName']").text("Not Available")
} else {
$("span[data-valmsg-for='FirstName']").text("Available")
}
})
});
});
Make sure you return True or False from your action method.
[HttpPost]
public JsonResult IsUniq(string FirstName)
{
//If exists
return Json(true);
else
return Json(false);
}
All of my entities (that are mapped to a database table) inherit from an entity class with a dynamic component on it called Attributes e.g.:
public abstract class Entity<T> {
public virtual T Id { get; set; }
private IDictionary _attributes;
public virtual IDictionary Attributes {
get { return _attributes ?? (_attributes = new Hashtable()); }
set { _attributes = value; }
}
}
The Attributes collection allows me to add extra fields to each entity without directly changing the entity itself. This allows me to make my application more modular.
For example say I have the following entity:
public class User : Entity<int> {
public virtual string Name { get; set; }
}
Now say I have a Forum module which needs a NumPosts property against the User. I would add the field against the Users table in the database. This field is non nullable and has a default value of 0. I then map the field using the dynamic component against the User entity.
However when I try inserting the user by saying:
session.Save(new User() { Name = "Test" });
It throws an error as it's expecting me to set a value for NumPosts and the generated SQL would be something like:
INSERT INTO Users (Name, NumPosts) VALUES ('Test', NULL)
However NumPosts does not allow nulls and hence the error. Ideally I'd like it to say the following if the Attributes collection does not contain an entry for NumPosts:
INSERT INTO Users (Name) VALUES ('Test')
An alternative is to say the following which would work fine:
session.Save(new User() { Name = "Test", Attributes = new Hashtable() { { "NumPosts", 0 } } });
The problem I have is that I don't want the modules to have a dependency on each other and I can't really say this.
For reference here's a bare bones version of session factory method which maps the NumPosts field:
return Fluently.Configure()
...
.ExposeConfiguration(c => {
// Get the persistent class
var persistentClass = c.GetClassMapping("User");
// Create the attributes component
var component = new Component(persistentClass);
// Create a simple value
var simpleValue = new SimpleValue(persistentClass.Table);
// Set the type name
simpleValue.TypeName = "Int32";
// Create a new db column specification
var column = new Column("NumPosts");
column.Value = simpleValue;
column.Length = 10;
column.IsNullable = false;
column.DefaultValue = "0";
// Add the column to the value
simpleValue.AddColumn(column);
// Ad the value to the component
component.AddProperty(new Property() { Name = column.Name, Value = simpleValue });
// Add the component property
persistentClass.AddProperty(new Property() { Name = "Attributes", Value = component });
})
.BuildConfiguration();
I'd appreciate if someone could let me know if this is possible. Thanks
You know how to make it working as described above:
... An alternative is to say the following which would work fine:
session.Save(new User()
{
Name = "Test", Attributes = new Hashtable() { { "NumPosts", 0 } }
});
... The problem I have is that I don't want the modules to have a dependency on each other and I can't really say this...
In case, that the biggest issue is the explicit Attributes initialization ("...I don't want the modules to have a dependency...") we can use:
12.2. Event system
So, with Listener like this:
[Serializable]
public class MyPersistListener : NHibernate.Event.ISaveOrUpdateEventListener
{
public void OnSaveOrUpdate(SaveOrUpdateEvent #event)
{
var entity = #event.Entity as Entity<int>; // some interface IHaveAttributes
if (entity == null) // would be more appropriate
{
return;
}
var numPosts = entity.Attributes["NumPosts"] as int?;
if (numPosts.HasValue)
{
return;
}
entity.Attributes["NumPosts"] = 0;
}
}
Based on this doc snippet:
Configuration cfg = new Configuration();
ILoadEventListener[] stack = new ILoadEventListener[] { new MyLoadListener(), new DefaultLoadEventListener() };
cfg.EventListeners.LoadEventListeners = stack;
This should be the init in our case:
.ExposeConfiguration(c => {
var stack = new ISaveOrUpdateEventListener [] { new MyPersistListener() };
c.EventListeners.SaveEventListeners= stack;
I hava an Action:
public ActionResult GetOrders(int id)
{
...
}
When I access it through hyperlink(~/Order/GetOrders/1), I want GetOrder return View(), the whole page.
When through #Html.Action("GetOrders"), I want it return PartialView() to be a part of a page.
Now i settled the problem using Erik Philips's method.
public ActionResult GetOrders(int id)
{
var orders = db.Order.Where(a => a.AdCompanyID == id).ToList();
ViewBag.AdCompanyName = db.AdCompany.Where(a => a.ID == id).Select(a => a.Name).First().ToString();
if (ControllerContext.IsChildAction)
{
ViewBag.isPartial = true;
return PartialView(orders);
}
ViewBag.isPartial = false;
return View(orders);
}
#{Html.RenderAction("GetOrders", new { id = Model.ID });}
#Html.ActionLink("Related orders", "GetOrders", new { id = item.ID })
in GetOrders.cshtml:
#if (ViewBag.isPartial == false)
{
...
}
to generate different view.
Queti M. Porta thanks all the same!
You can use the ControllerContext.IsChildAction.
public ActionResult Foo()
{
if (ControllerContext.IsChildAction)
{
return PartialView("GetOrdersPartial", model);
}
return View("GetOrders", model);
}
Also, I would recommend using Html.RenderAction.
Updated per Comment
I'd also mention that I've never had the need to do this, in my own experience. Either you really have a completely different view, or you are unaware that PartialView will return a view without a Layout.
An easy way would be to pass in a parameter into the action method to let it know how you want the view rendered.
public ActionResult GetOrders(int id, bool? isPartial)
{
return (isPartial.HasValue() && isPartial.Value)
? PartialView()
: View();
}
In the above example, we are passing in the isPartial, however, you can also check to see if the request was done via ajax using Request.IsAjaxRequest
Other than that, there aren't many other ways to determine the method of the request.
