sitefinity / feather Goto Github PK

I'm able to follow your guide to successfully create custom layout widgets. But it doesn't allow you to specify Column Labels, and the labels it creates are random and unrecognizable. I've noticed it's because the example doesn't include the sf_colsOut class. Adding that class adds the column labels back, but it then also adds the options for the Sizes and Space, which for Bootstrap, you really wouldn't want the user to modify.

How can I specify Column Labels effectively?

• Add Web Address view in link-selector.html in tab with heading "Web address"
• link-selector.js

This kind of goes with issue #48 in that how do you create custom form Feather widgets to match your selected Feather layout?

Cover Anchor view javascript implementation with client unit tests

Trying to setup a feather project based on the documentation. I've got Sitefinity 7.1.5200 installed with site setup, I installed the feather NuGet package. I've modified the AssemblyInfo.cs, but I can't find a copy of the SystemConfig.config file in my project:

I all of a sudden noticed that my changes to \ResourcePackages\Bootstrap\MVC\Views\Layouts\default.cshtml were not being reflected on the client. I then also noticed that a 2nd Bootstrap.default template was automatically created.

Any idea why a 2nd Bootstrap.default would have been created and why my changes to Bootstrap's default.cshtml are not showing up on the front-end?

1. Is there any way to call another MVC widget inside new MVC widget?
   @model MessageWidget.Mvc.Models.MessageWidgetExtendedModel

//How I can call MessageWidget View here?

@Html.Raw(Model.Message)

2. Can I add this widget programatically to a MVC page template using feather? I don't want to drag from toolbox and add but directly add from the code.

The SfPlaceHolder helper wraps the content placeholders with a div with runat="server" and a hardcoded id, making it impossible to have more than one content placeholder on a layout.

public static MvcHtmlString SfPlaceHolder(this HtmlHelper helper, string containerName = "Body")
    {
        var htmlString = string.Format(System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture, "<div class='sfPublicWrapper' id='PublicWrapper' runat='server'><asp:contentplaceholder id='{0}' runat='server' /></div>", containerName);

        return new MvcHtmlString(htmlString);
    }

We need to optimize the UI tests for dynamic widgets in order to avoid dynamic module activation on each test (where the same module is used)

It seams that out of the box Feather uses a full-width layout with Bootstrap. It seems like it should be possible to use the fixed-width layout, but I'm at a loss to see where I would do that. Am I just missing where I should place the container CSS class? Closest documentation I could find was the section on Bootstrap Resource Package.

Listed at this url is an example of how Sitefinity is able to be extended to support custom url routing.
http://www.sitefinity.com/developer-network/forums/developing-with-sitefinity-/url-routing

This works in non-feather projects, however we did encounter a bug when we were logged into the backend which occurred here: Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.ScriptManagerWrapper.Page_InitComplete. We were able to get around this by disabling the in-line editor inside Administration > Settings > Pages > "Enable in-line editing." = false. I only note this so that if someone else runs across this, it may help them.

Additionally, for Feather projects, users may encounter a blank page when attempting to render a custom route. I believe the issue can be traced to this file: https://github.com/Sitefinity/feather/blob/master/Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend/Resources/PackageManager.cs#L35 which obtains the current resource package. The method inspects both the Url and the PageInfo to obtain the current package, neither of which exist if you are using a virtual route (i.e. /my/custom/route/to/whatever)

As a result, the AddVariablesToPath() method inside LayoutVirtualPathBuilder.cs never applies the resource package (i.e. Bootstrap) to the virtual path. This in turn results in GetVirtualPath(IPageTemplate template) to return null because the layout is said not to exist.

To work around this, without making modifications to Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend assembly, I was able to inject the following line of code in my method which returns RouteData just before my call to this.GetRouteDataInternal() [this assumes I am using Bootstrap for this instance].

SystemManager.CurrentHttpContext.Items["CurrentResourcePackage"] = "Bootstrap";

Finally, one last error I ran into, was despite disabling in-line editing as noted above, the following line in the default Bootstrap template caused a NullReferenceException when LayoutRenderer.RenderViewToString made a call to Render() the razor view:
@Html.InlineEditingManager(false)

Once I removed this line, the NullReferenceException was avoided, and the view rendered properly for my custom routes.

Hope this helps!

Hi guys,

please make the ResourceHelper.GetWebResourceUrl public in this file:
https://github.com/Sitefinity/feather/blob/master/Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend/Mvc/Helpers/ResourceHelper.cs

The use case is that we may want to load scripts with a loading framework, so at the moment that's kind of hard. Either we need to copy the code somewhere or parse the script tag :)

Thanks.

I'm trying to figure out what's the best practice for master layout files (for Bootstrap it's the Bootstrap.default file). What I'm wondering is how to handle resources (css/js) that I want globally included but are also shared/used with widgets. I know you can use Url.WidgetContent to register a resource in the view, but that places that resource directly in the content at that point. Yet I'd like to follow the best practice of adding CSS styles in the head and JavaScript at the end of the page.

So I want to add things in the master layout like jQuery, Bootstrap's JS, AngularJS, but placing them in the master at the bottom, and then using Url.WidgetContent in the widget places the resources before the libraries are actually included. I also tried Razor Sections and they don't work either.

I'm looking for the the best way to do this to fit with Sitefinity/Feather. Any direction is appreciated.

We should upgrade all of the front end frameworks to their latest version

• Foundation
• Bootstrap
• SemanticUI

Modify the ExecuteController method of the DynamicUrlParamActionInvoker class in order to provide a brief message that error has been occurred.

• Add Anchor view in link-selector.html in the tab with heading Anchor
• link-selector.js implementation related to setting or getting the anchor

I've got a clean install of Sitefinity 7.2.5320.0 and I've installed the Feather package with all it's dependencies. I'm getting this error:

Error 2 The "OpenAccessClean" task could not be loaded from the assembly C:\Program Files %28x86%29\Telerik\Sitefinity 7.2\Projects\Project2\packages\Telerik.DataAccess.Fluent.2014.2.918.1\tools\enhancer\enhancer.exe.

Steps to reproduce:

1. create page
2. drag and drop Search results widget
3. open designer
4. check "Allow users to sort results"
5. save widget settings
6. open designer again
   As a result: "Allow users to sort results" is not checked
   Note: verify sorting on frontend after this issue is fixed

The doc article should describe the API for accessing parent/child items respectively from the child/parent dynamic content objects.

Steps to reproduce:

1. create new widget templates for Search box and Search results
2. create page
3. drag and drop Search box and Search results widgets
4. open Search box or Search results' designer
5. expand Template dropdown
   As a result: newly created Search box and Search results widget templates are not displayed

Prerequisite: your project should be running as a web application (http://localhost/Test1/page1)
Steps to reproduce:

1. create page
2. drag and drop Search box widget
3. select search index
4. publish and view page
5. type some string in text box
6. see requests
   As a result: "404 not found" because request URL is not correct

In feather-packages if I work on a, for example, .js file, the updates I make aren't applied in the front end.
Even if I request the file directly in the browser (e.g. http://localhost/path/to/file.js) and I add a query string to invalidate the browser cache - my changes aren't shown.

It seems the files are cached in a way that only an iisreset can reset the cache.

Another example is if I delete some of the widget templates in feather-packages in order to load them from feather-widgets. The result is that the deleted widgets are loaded anyway from cache.

Since the master layout we're using is based on Feather (Bootstrap), I'd like to use the custom layouts in the form designers as well. But when I drag one into the design surface, the content of the layout says:

Cannot find template "~/Frontend-Assembly/Telerik.Sitefinity.Frontend/GridSystem/Templates/my-custom-layout.html".

Also the preview of the form doesn't actually use the master layout, which I guess I can expect, but it makes it hard to get an idea of the true layout.

I'm not sure if I'm not understanding the wiki page correctly or not understanding what's capable, but I'm trying to use an original Sitefinity Designer with an MVC Widget dropped on a template based on Bootstrap.default and I keep getting an error. I've started from a fresh 7.2 project with the latest Feather. The error I get is in the form of a JavaScript alert message:

The relative virtual path '?package=Bootstrap' is not allowed here.

It happens right after I drop the widget onto a page based on the Bootstrap.default template. I also noticed that the request that's causing it to fail is the following with a 500 response:

PUT ~/Sitefinity/Services/Pages/ZoneEditorService.svc/Control/?package=Bootstrap

Could you help clarify what's capable with the original WebForm Designers?

Thanks,
Ryan

Steps to reproduce:

Hi,

I created an empty Sitefinity 7.2.5310 project and followed the instructions of this GitHub project (Getting started).

However the site fails to start after all is done and complains about

"Could not load file or assembly 'Telerik.Sitefinity.Utilities, Version=7.2.5310.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b28c218413bdf563' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)"

I checked from the bin folder (Sitefinity project in Visual Studio) and it seems that it contains older version of this library file (7.2.5300.0) after installing the Feather package.

Here is some output from Package Manager Console

If you do not accept the license agreement(s), then delete the relevant components from your device.

As you can see it doesn't install the newest Sitefinity core library available. In order to get this working I would have to manually copy the newest library files from a clean install of Sitefinity 7.2.5310 and override the older versions copied by the package in the bin folder using those.

Are the Sitefinity library dependencies going to be updated any time soon?

We need to upgrade Test Studio to latest version (2014.4.1211.0). All packages should be updated as well in feather and feather-widgets test projects

This article should provide information about the existing settings for controlling the behavior of the system when there is an exception inside of a MVC action.

Steps to reproduce:

1. create page
2. drag and drop Search box widget
3. duplicate widget
4. publish and view page
5. inspect text boxes and buttons
   As a result: both text boxes and buttons have same id

Currently the nuget package enforces a version of AspNetMVC >= 4.0.20710.0 && <= 4.0.99999.9 Is there any reason not to allow a newer version?

Thanks.

Using the default MVC news widget, I can confirm filtering by Tags IS working, however, filtering by Categories IS NOT working. Based on the Wiki by Boyko-Karadzhov here https://github.com/Sitefinity/feather/wiki/How-to-implement-action-that-filters-by-category-or-tag
"Feather will try to match a category first and then fallbacks to tags. When an item matches the action is invoked with the matching taxon."
So, I have 2 categories: General and Friends, and 2 Tags: Bus and Trees
When I click the Tag; Bus, the page invoked is: "mysite.com/news/bus" and the news is filtered correctly showing only news articles tagged as bus.
When I click the Category; General, the page invoked is: "mysite.com/news/general" and ALL news articles are shown. In fact, replacing "general" with anything will just display ALL new articles, so I assume this is the default NO MATCH behaviour.
I can also confirm that falling back to the default sitefinity news widget and sitefinity category widget filtering by category does work correctly - so I can only assume at this stage there is an issue with the MVC widget?
Is anyone else experiencing this same issue?

The build status images should indicate whether there are tests that fail in the 'master' branch.

Cover Page view javascript implementation with client unit tests

Hello Feather team,

I am trying out MVC List widget as per https://github.com/Sitefinity/feather/wiki/Create-a-MVC-List-widget but run into error saying View cannot be found.

"The view 'Index' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
