I've created custom route to support canonical url. It works on the local system. However when I tested my code onto server the bundle created a link but couldn't render the css and js.
Here's the code
routes.MapRoute
(
"Custom",
"{*catchAll}",
new { controller = "Search", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
).RouteHandler = new CustomRouteForSlugs();
#Styles.Render("~/Content/css")
#Scripts.Render("~/bundles/modernizr")
The link it created on the production link is:
<link href="/Content/css?v=WMr-pvK-ldSbNXHT-cT0d9QF2pqi7sqz_4MtKl04wlw1" rel="stylesheet">
<script src="/bundles/modernizr?v=rGcoDow97GYrNMSwHq7xCCjlcB3UIY4_OhPRc6BBSQA1"></script>
While checking it over the firebug, I'd seen no script or js code attached to it. Putting back a link to static file for css or js works.
How can this issue be solved?

We have our own system which we need to integrate with MS Dynamics 365.For Example : In Accounts section we need to add an extra tab that loads IFrame or something that retrieves some extra information from our system.
The following are the things that I reached :
Inserting IFrame within a new Dashboard: (but it will not fetch specific account information, it will only pass the currently logged in user along with the organization name)
Unified Service Desk (USD): (we may add customization but this is a desktop app and we need it to be on web)
Microsoft flow: this would only work in the background when you create or edit an account (not sure if it has another functionality)
Extensions: Not sure how to use it to achieve the same functionality, I believe the solution may be here but I just need from where to start.
Has anybody done a similar thing before?
Thank you
You can definitely do it,
Here is how I just tried on one of my Trail Instance.
I added new Tab as you need, I called it "HTML Page"
On this Tab I added Webresource, you can add Iframe as well and call your external WebPage.
For my simple use case I created a simple HTML page as webresource in CRM and configured it to Webresource tab as below
Sample code for HTML. Dont worry about long html file. Mostly it is bla bla. What is of our importance is <body onload="myFunction()"> and then in
<script>
function myFunction() {
debugger;
alert("Account Id when from fromcontext is ");
alert(parent.Xrm.getformContext().data.entity.getId());
}
</script>
complete HTML code below
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>My first styled page</title>
</head>
<body onload="myFunction()">
<!-- Site navigation menu -->
<ul class="navbar">
<li>Home page
<li>Musings
<li>My town
<li>Links
</ul>
<!-- Main content -->
<h1>My first styled page</h1>
<p>Welcome to my styled page!
<p>It lacks images, but at least it has style.
And it has links, even if they don't go
anywhere…
<p>There should be more here, but I don't know
what yet.
<!-- Sign and date the page, it's only polite! -->
<address>Made 5 April 2004<br>
by myself.</address>
<script>
function myFunction() {
debugger;
alert("Account Id when from fromcontext is ", parent.Xrm.getformContext().data.entity.getId());
}
</script>
</body>
</html>
Also on Form Load of account I added additional Javascript. This javascript will create global variable which could be called from your webresource.
Article Link for additional Javascript
Sample code used for Javascript below
formContext=null;
function onload(executionContext){
debugger;
var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext();
Xrm.getformContext = function (){
return formContext;
};
Xrm.getParentAttribute = function (attrName) {
debugger;
return formContext.getAttribute(attrName);
};
Xrm.getParentControl = function (attrName) {
debugger;
return formContext.getControl(attrName);
};
}
Final Result will be something like below
Summary:
Create Wberesource/Iframe
Create Additiona Js on Load
Use global variable in your webresource.
I am new to MVC 3 and have come accross the following scenario:
First let me explain how I have setup my application:
All post backs to the server use jquery ajax which which return a view from the controller that either appended or prepended or replace a targeted div.
The Scenario:
I have come to a point where I would like to upload images but unfortunately because of the jquery ajax posting I cannot get the values for an html in C# Request.Files. I know there are plugins out there to help out with this but I would like to do this myself so I have created an <iframe> which i then use a bit of javascript and post the form targeted to the iframe (old classic way of doing things):
function UploadImg(SACTION) {
alert(SACTION);
validatorform.action = SACTION;
validatorform.target = "fraImage";
validatorform.method = "POST";
validatorform.submit();
}
the SACTION parameter looks like this #Url.Action("UploadFile", "Response"). This all works well as it hits the controllers action method and I can then save the image:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult UploadFile(string ArticleID)
{
ViewBag.PreviewImage = cFileUploads.UploadFile(ArticleID, Request.Files[0]);
return View("ImagePreview");
}
I would now like to return a view to the iframe (simply to preview the image and then do a couple of other things but this is besides the point)
The View for previewing the Image:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="">
<img alt="" src="#ViewBag.PreviewImage" />
</form>
</body>
</html>
The Problem:
Unfortunately when I return the View (ImagePreview.cshtml) in C# the whole page is refreshed, all I want is for the iFrame to be refreshed. How should I return the view from the controller?
Fiqured out the problem, I had a bit of javascript that was replacing the contents of a div that the iframe was sitting in ... (slap on my forehead). All working perfectly now :)
Will leave this question here just incase ..
In My MVC3 Razor application I'm referring ajax in Layout page as
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
When I run this in my local machine,its working perfectly.. However after publishing using iis7, my ajax calls are not working. When i checked the View Source in browser, the reference is like <script src="/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js" type="text/javascript"></script> before publishing and <script src="mvcapplication/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
after publishing. I'm confused Why url gets changed ?
Url.Content(string contentPaht) uses the VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(string contentPath) method to create an absolute url:
public string Content(string contentPath)
{
if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(contentPath))
{
throw new ArgumentException(MvcResources.Common_NullOrEmpty, "contentPath");
}
if (contentPath[0] == '~')
{
return VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(contentPath,
this.RequestContext.HttpContext.Request.ApplicationPath);
}
return contentPath;
}
As you can see the Request.ApplicationPath is used, which respresents the the Virtual Directory.
When the argument contentPath does not start with a ~ it returns the contentPath without using the ToAbsolute(string contentPath) method.
So you can try using:
#Url.Content("/Scripts/jquery.unobtrusive-ajax.js")
Edit: You can also try to change the default route:
routes.MapRoute(
"Default",
"NameVirtualDirectory/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
Because on the server the application has the virtual path "mvcapplication", that is the app resides in IIS in the virtual directory "mvcapplication". It has nothing to do with asp.net mvc, it's an IIS setting.
I'm using Fancybox 1.3.4 with ASP.NET MVC 3.
I have following link :
<a id="various" href="Like/List/#feed.Id" class="petlikeCount liked">#feed.LikeCount</a>
and also jquery :
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$("#various").fancybox({
type: 'ajax'
});
});
</script>
Controller action in Like controller :
public JsonResult List(int id)
{
return Json("success", JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}
My problem is that Like/List is never called (checked with the breakpoint) and fancybox just appears and show content of "parent" page....
I also tried with iframe content returning pure html back, but I'm getting same strange behavior as above.
Thank you in advance!
I'd recommend you using HTML helpers instead of hardcoding anchors:
#Html.ActionLink(
feed.LikeCount,
"List",
"Like",
new { id = feed.Id },
new { id = "various", #class = "petlikeCount liked" }
)
Another thing that you should make sure is that the feed.Id is actually an integer variable so that when the List action is invoked it is correctly passed this id.
So your url should look something like this: /List/Like/123. And then assuming tat you have kept the default route and haven't messed up with some custom routes, the List action should be called and passed the correct id as argument.
Also I would very strongly recommend you using a javascript debugging tool in your browser such as FireBug in which you will be able to see any potential errors with your scripts as well as the actual AJAX requests being sent which will allow you to more easily debug such problems.
My first post...
When I use RedirectToAction the url in the browser doesn't change. How can I achieve this?
I'm switching over to ASP.NET MVC 3.0 (also using jQuery Mobile) after 10+ years using web forms. I'm about 8 weeks into it, and after several books and scouring Google for an answer, I'm coming up dry.
I have a single route defined in Global.asax:
routes.MapRoute(
"Routes",
"{controller}/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Shopping", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
I have a ShoppingController with these actions:
public ActionResult Cart() {...}
public ActionResult Products(string externalId) {...}
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Products(List<ProductModel> productModels)
{
// do stuff
return RedirectToAction("Cart");
}
The url when I do a get and post (with the post having the RedirectToAction) is always:
/Shopping/Products?ExternalId=GenAdmin
After the post and RedirectToAction I want the url in the browser to change to:
/Shopping/Cart
I've tried Redirect, and RedirectToRoute but get the same results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Update]
I found that jQuery Mobile AJAX posts are the culprit here. If I turn off jQuery Mobile's AJAX it works.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.6.4.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
// do not handle links via ajax by default
$(document).bind("mobileinit", function () { $.mobile.ajaxEnabled = false; });
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/mobile/1.0rc2/jquery.mobile-1.0rc2.min.css" />
The ordering of the above scripts is important. I had to include the script to jQuery first, then include the script to disable jQuery Mobile's use of AJAX and then include the script to jQuery Mobile.
I'd still like to find a way to use AJAX and have the url update properly. Or at the least be able to call jQuery Mobile's "loading" message (or bake my own).
I think I've found an answer. Buried deep in the jQuery Mobile documentation, there is information about setting the data-url on the div with data-role="page". When I do this, I get the nice jQuery Mobile AJAX stuff (page loading message, page transitions) AND I get the url in the browser updated correctly.
Essentially, this is how I'm doing it...
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Products(...)
{
// ... add products to cart
TempData["DataUrl"] = "data-url=\"/Cart\"";
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Cart");
}
Then on my layout page I have this....
<div data-role="page" data-theme="c" #TempData["DataUrl"]>
On my HttpPost actions I now set the TempData["DataUrl"] so for those pages it gets set and is populated on the layout page. "Get" actions don't set the TempData["DataUrl"] so it doesn't get populated on the layout page in those situtations.
The only thing that doesn't quite work with this, is when you right-click... view source... in the browser, the html isn't always for the page you are on, which isn't unusual for AJAX.
Not sure if it is still actual, but in my case I wrote following helper method
public static IHtmlString GetPageUrl<TModel>(this HtmlHelper<TModel> htmlHelper, ViewContext viewContext)
{
StringBuilder urlBuilder = new StringBuilder();
urlBuilder.Append("data-url='");
urlBuilder.Append(viewContext.HttpContext.Request.Url.GetComponents(UriComponents.PathAndQuery, UriFormat.UriEscaped));
urlBuilder.Append("'");
return htmlHelper.Raw(urlBuilder.ToString());
}
And then use it as follows:
<div data-role="page" data-theme="d" #Html.GetPageUrl(ViewContext) >
This way I don't need for every redirect action store a TempData. Worked for me fine both for Redirect and RedirectToAction. This would not work properly in case if you use method "View()" inside controller and return different view name, which will change UI, but will retain url.
Hope it helps

David, this was a big help to me. I just wanted to add that in my case I had to use the following format to get the Url to display in the correct form as my other url's:
TempData["DataUrl"] = "data-url=/appName/controller/action";
return RedirectToAction("action", "controller");
As a side note, I also found that when assigning the value to TempData["DataUrl"] I was able to leave out the escaped quotes and enter it exactly as above and it seems to be working fine for me. Thanks again for your help.
There is an issue on github
https://github.com/jquery/jquery-mobile/issues/1571
It has a nice solution without the need of TempData
