Commented Issue: logged in - session expire to soon? [23446]

namoguy — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:03:37 GMT

when writing i.e. blog entries, I suppose the browser session expires to soon and it makes impossible to save content written.
Any chance to do something with this?
maybe something like this: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/37136/AH-Ah-ah-ah-Staying-Alive-Staying-Alive.aspx

Created Issue: NewsList::Search() destroys html markup [25398]

Bendik — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:37:43 GMT

The NewsList::Search() method destroys any html markup you might have in your news entries content. Let's say you have made a news entry with maybe a <h1> tag and some <strong>'s. It will look fine until you use the Search feature of the site once - after that, this markup is lost for the duration of your session.

The problem lies in the loop

foreach (DataRow row in NewsEntries.Rows)
{
row["Newstext"] = HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(SearchResult.RemoveHtml(row["Newstext"].ToString()));
}

in NewsList::Search(). This actually replaces the newstext with text where any html markup has been removed (RemoveHtml() does a good job there ;-) Now, I wonder why the loop is actually there and if you have considered removing it? I tried that, and the Search still seem to find those entries!?

Commented Issue: MWPSK Extensions (includes our solution for roles) [13162]

mrmeyer4irm — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 22:20:54 GMT

Hello,

finally had time to repackage a few changes we are using in our MWPSK-based solutions. They've been in place for many months so I hope there aren't (many) bugs. This involves changing a few MWPSK core files but we ensured that our changes stay backward compatible so Sections and other code should be able to work without hassle. Code has been tested with v1.1.2 and v1.1.4 RC: no problems reported. This first version will be released using MS-PL while subsequent will use a custom license to serve our own purposes. This is our way to give back to community and thank MWPSK developers which is really a good solution.

Features:

* enables role-based security for pages (not sections!) so admins can set which roles can access a specific page (when not shown to all users). Each user can be assigned to multiple roles and code will check permission against any of them. Pages whom users don't have access to won't be displayed in menu
* includes a roles editor (to add and delete roles) and a roles mapper (to assign users to roles)
* roles editor and mapper are implemented as sections so they can be deployed on any page
* includes a new page in Administration folder which already includes both controls (deploy and start using in a click)
* enables a "Visible in menu" option for pages, which can hide a specific page from menu while still letting this page to be directly linked
(this is based on Rickard Magnusson code but his code was improved as it only allowed to hide first-level pages. Our code will allow to hide pages on any depth)
* enables a "Hide to authenticated users" option for pages, which allows admin to hide specific pages when user has been authenticated. Can be used to hide a registration page or pages which include contents suitable for anonymous users only.
* enables a "Sidebard HTML contents" option for each pages, so any HTML extra content can be shown right after the sidebar. This allows admins to put extra contents where sidebar is and enables more complex scenarios for real-world portals. HTML contents can be customized on a per-page basis.

Again, we tried to ensure that once our modifications will be installed, there will be no modifications in MWPSK base code unless our functions will be enabled. This should ensure maximum backward compatibility with standard code.

Our internal code has been implemented using AJAX but such functionalities has been stripped off since standard MWPSK doesn't support AJAX. If any of you have extended your portals using AJAX, you should be able to put our code inside an UpdatePanel for better experience.

We would be glad if any of you who will find any bug will report to me even if, as I said, we're using this code since 4-5 months without problems. Hope I exported all relevant files ;-)

Take care.

Closed Issue: News Search - Does not account for null ShowUntil [24382]

MRAatFC — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:25:32 GMT

Version 1.3

NewsList.cs
The code in the Search method needs to look like this

DataRow[] foundRows = NewsEntries.Select(string.Format("(Headline LIKE '%{0}%' OR Newstext LIKE '%{0}%') AND Newsdate <= #{1}# AND (ShowUntil >= #{2}# OR ShowUntil Is Null)", searchString.Replace("'", "''"), DateNow, DateShowUntil), "NewsDate DESC");

Otherwise News Items with no ShowUntil date will not be searched.

This is my first try and reporting problems. Hope this is the right place and is of use.

Closed Issue: v1.3.0 beta - error when logging off from hidden page [23614]

MRAatFC — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:24:17 GMT

When a person attempts to logoff from a hidden page, an error occurs on line 25 of Subpages.ascx.cs.

To resolve this, insert above line 25 an if statement to enclose the entire foreach clause that begiins on line 25:
beginning with new line 25:
if (SiteMap.CurrentNode != null)
{ foreach (SiteMapNode node in SiteMap.CurrentNode.ChildNodes)
{
lnkSubpages = new HyperLink();
lnkSubpages.Text = node.Title;
lnkSubpages.NavigateUrl = node.Url;
plcSubpages.Controls.Add(lnkSubpages);
ctlBreak = new Literal();
ctlBreak.Text = "<br /><br />";
plcSubpages.Controls.Add(ctlBreak);
}
}

Closed Issue: "+" character entered in virtual path field crashes MWPSK v. 1.2.2 [24133]

MRAatFC — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:21:11 GMT

A "+" character saved in the virtual path field causes v1.2.2 production to fail. Characters entered in the virtual path field that crash the application should be trapped or filtered in the edit UI (or at least a warning displayed on the edit form). Recovery requires removing the bad virtual path entry from the Apps_data/Web.sitemap file. Once this is done, the bad virtual path entry on the page itself can be removed through the edit UI.

This problem has also been confirmed on v1.1.4.

All --

This is "minor" but along the lines of "treat CTWs as CTEs" I thought I should mention it.

There is a warning, variable 'ex' is declared but never used, in ImageHandler.ProcessRequest.

I just thought you should know.

Thank you.

Commented Issue: After playing with this beta version for a few days I have found many bugs. Hence this beta version is far from being ready for testing. [24559]

namoguy — Sun, 27 Sep 2009 21:18:30 GMT

After playing with this beta version for a few days I have found many bugs. Hence this beta version is far from being ready for testing.
1) When I import may data from my old version
a. None of the drop down menu show up
b. Numerous string errors are thrown when you try to edit or browse.
2) FreeTestBox Editor
a. Has far less features than FCK
b. Importing simple HTML throws string errors
c. Spell checker throws dll errors
3) Gmail not supported or was poorly implemented
a. I reviewed the code for send mail and it could use some work with regards’ supporting Gmail. When I tried to send Gmail I got a null exception error
b. I have fixed Gmail in my site. Hence I’ll have no problems fixing the code for this Update if I decide it worth using it.
In general some of the new functionality are good ides; With the possible execution of the FreeTestBox editor.
One thing I would like to see improved is the photo gallery. As it only allows you to pull in one photo at a time. I would be nice to be able to create photo libs and pull in multiple photos at one time.

Change line 14 of the .cs file from ResolveURL to Server.MapPath this will fix the issue.

Commented Issue: when using Internet Explorer I can´t login / using Firefox I can´t edit anything using FCKEditor [23478]

net4u — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 17:16:57 GMT

Hello,
I created a website using mwpsk 1.2.1 . I moved it to a webserver and it worked fine.

But after a few days a problem appeared:

-If I use Internet Explorer to login to the administrative area of mwpsk it´s not possible
after typing the right password and click on login the website appears after a refresh like I´m a user who´s not logged in.
If I type the wrong password into the pwd-field an error message appears like it should be.
When I use Firefox or Opera I´m able to login but if I want to edit a html section (using fckeditor) the fckeditor doesn´t appear.

Does anybody have an idea regarding this issue?

Thanks, br, Tom

Commented Issue: Polyglot - extension for multilingual version of pages [23135]

rickardmagnusson — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 13:40:15 GMT

Hi,
we (Va&Cu) wrote little extension, which allows relatively easily create multilingual version of your web pages based on MWPSK.
The idea is simple - sections read and save data via specialized functions, which determine the correct language to be used and return or save true value for this language.

Live example of this extension you can see on our website www.vacu.cz and there is more information about this.

Enjoy. Va&Cu
Comments: ** Comment from web user: rickardmagnusson **

Hi Va&Cu
I think your idea is brilliant. Like in a MWPSK manner you created a nice and functional extension.
I can agree that SEO produced pages need more but overall you thougt of most of the things and will work in most small websites.
One thing that came up was that the Sections should show (I think) the default cultured sections value in stead of (not translated) . See code below.
Also the default culture should be set in Website settings not in web.config. Like CurrentLang = WebSite.GetInstance().DefaultLocaleID
Really nice work. I will really like to here more from you and your projects.

public static string GetLocalized(string MultilangValue)
{
//nactu MultilangValue do tabulky
DataTable table = GetMultilangTable(MultilangValue);

if (table.Rows.Count == 0)
return MultilangValue;

//najdu zaznam(y) pro aktualni jazyk
DataRow[] rows = table.Select(string.Format("[Lang] = '{0}'", CurrentLang));
if (rows.Length > 0)
{
return rows[0]["Value"] as string;
}
else if (CurrentLang != WebSite.GetInstance().DefaultLocaleID)
{
rows = table.Select(string.Format("[Lang] = '{0}'", WebSite.GetInstance().DefaultLocaleID));
return rows[0]["Value"] as string;
}
else
{
return "(not translated)"; //Will never fire
}
}

ldusit — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 02:46:05 GMT

I want to add new utility to Theme but current version of Theme Generator cannot add new utility item. There are only LOGIN and SEARCH utility that available and user can setup only environment of utility section e.g. color, background, link. It is better if new version of Theme Generator allow user to add new item of utility.

I agree, I have had the same issues... Also don't like the FreeTextBox editor nearly as much as FCK..

Also the Quick Guide is completely outdated. I was looking for the SMTP settings because my combination is throwing an error Mailbox unavailable. The server response was: Unknown user. Oddly enough, the emails get through to my inbox anyway.

Commented Issue: Problems with HTMLEditor.ascx.cs

aschoelzhorn — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 19:43:56 GMT

I don't know if this has already been reported, so I'm filing it here anyway.

I was checking v1.3.0BETA (nice job, btw!) and I had problems with HTMLEditor.ascx.cs at this line (line 14 inside file):

string galleryPath = ResolveUrl("~/App_Data/UserImages/Image");

That doesn't work for me generating an error stating that path "/App_Data/UserImages/Image" is not accessible. Had to change that line like this:

string galleryPath = Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/UserImages/Image");

Now it works as expected. That behaviour will prevent adding HTML section to portal, for example.

Tested on: Win2003/IIS6 - Win2008/IIS7

On both configuration, original code didn't work and new code works flawlessly.

Hope this helps.
