Create different edit and create page in telerik mvc - kendo-ui

Im trying out Telerik and the application I am working on requires me to have a different create and edit screen. In Mvc you of course had your create and edit page and you could edit those how you like. In Telerik you don't get those, but I was made aware you could create your own edit profile
I then proceeded to do that with the following code
.Editable(editable => editable.Mode(GridEditMode.PopUp).TemplateName("editClient"))
Good news is that you get a different page for the edit, and the bad news is that, this is also now the create page.
I'm grateful for assistance in getting this done.

Word Press custom form links

On my Word Press website, I have a section on my website where I am displaying the job categories.
My only issue is that I can't seem to create custom links for any of the categories on my site. Like 'http://example.com/find-a-job/?s=search_categories%football'
I was curious if anyone had an idea on how to create custom links for Wordpress forms that auto-fill one of the fields to what I want it to be.
If it means anything, I believe the form is AJAX.
Thanks.

Session in MVC 3 for storing text in a textbox

I am new to programming, especially to MVC. I have designed a blog in MVC 3 ASP.NET for a client. The blog also have user account for admin for content management.
Once logged in, Admin can create new post. Sometimes the post can be long text. Therefore, I want to create a session to temporarily save the content within the text box as the user types it in automatically. Once the user click the submit button, the sessions ends and the text will be permanently saved.
This allows the users to leave the post half way through, come back and carry on from where they left. Also, if the browser close accidently, the user does not loose the text already typed in.
I have been trying find tutorial on this, but was unable to find a useful tutorial so far.
Any help, or point to useful tutorial would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
It sounds like you need some sort of autosave feature. One option is the Sisyphus.js jQuery Autosave plugin that saves the form state in LocalStorage. No changes to your server side ocde is needed, so it should work for any existing ASP.NET MVC application.

Rally custom dropdown to multiSelect

We have a custom drop down and need to make it a multiSelect. Your answer gives me hope but so far, I have not figured out how this can be done. I played around how to build custom grids using JavaScript. Is it possible to make an existing custom drop-down list to a multiSelect? If it is, can be it used in the existing Rally screens or do we have to use interactive grids to be able to update the field?
Please advice on how this can be achieved.
Thank you, Rajani.
A custom dropdown cannot be turned into a custom multiselect. There are no custom fileds in Rally of mulitselect type. You may write a custom app using AppSDK2 with a MultiObjectPicker
For example, here is a rallymutiobjectpicker that allows selection of multiple testsets:
this._testSetPicker = Ext.create('Rally.ui.picker.MultiObjectPicker', {
itemId:'testsetpicker',
modelType: 'testset'
});
Later you may use _getRecordValue() to get the array of selected records:
var selectedTestSets = this._testSetPicker._getRecordValue();
A custom grid and a custom html app are not the same.
A UI component created with AppSDK2 cannot be added to a custom grid, and cannot be added to existing Rally pages, e.g. a Defect or User Story details page, or any summary page.
The MultiObjectPicker can only be used in a custom code that you write and then copy your deployment html and paste it into a custom html page.
The developer portal also has links to great videos by David Thomas. See all the links in this post for details.

You can make use of the Html5 History API
Anyway this is an Html5 feature and not all browsers may support it. In this case I would suggest directly using a plugin that degrades to hash changes if not supported, like History.js
This is fundamentally the same question as how to fix the browser history back-forward buttons. Checkout What is the best back button jQuery plugin?, it really could help you alot!

Web app entity 3 step creation with MVC(either asp.net or rails)

Let's say I have an Employee, and for the creation of such employee in my web application I want to follow the next flow.
Create <-> Verify -> Save
In the create page the user can set up a bunch of properties,
In the verify page the user is presented with two options "make changes" and "verify"
In the save page the user is presented with a confirmation page
I have two approaches to this:
Use Javascript to change "action" and "method" of the form.
Handle the logic on the action
(which feels kind of clunky at least
with asp.net mvc)
Which do you prefer ?
Is there a better way to do this?
Pretty easy in ASP.NET MVC. See these posts for guidance:
how to make a wizard with ASP.Net MVC
http://shouldersofgiants.co.uk/Blog/post/2009/09/16/A-RESTful-Wizard-Using-ASPNet-MVCe280a6-Perhaps.aspx
Personally, I would do it as a single GET/POST and utilize some basic jQuery to show/hide DIVs containing the necessary inputs as noted in the first link.
I would do this with routes
GET new to render the create form
POST new to show the verify form
POST create to actually create the resource
Create <-> Verify -> Save
It isn't clunky, Create is Get, verify is post of the same URL. The method that handles the Get and the one that does the post use the Same View, just with different info sent to it.
So for the create the view is instructed to post to the same Url, when u are already to verify it will post to the Save action.
The above works for any non js client. You can then hook some js, so instead of posting the form from Create -> Verify, you would change in the client side. This way it works for both js - non js versions. You can even display the Save confirmation with the same technique if you wanted. Progressive Js.
