ASP.NET 2.0 -- webparts -- catalog zones --

Jagadeesh Jupalli — Wed, 23 May 2007 04:00:00 GMT

Hi,

I’m having some doubts in designing and coding catalog zones.

I'm planning a web site very much similar to this "http://www.google.co.in/ig?hl=en" using webparts in ASP.NET 2.0

I want the catalog manager look some thing similar to igoogle --> "Make it your own" page. The catalog manager should not ask me to which webpartzone my controls need to be added. It should select some random webpartzone to add the control.

Also, How to make webparts work in FIREFOX?

I am new to new to .NET programming. If this is fundamental please be patient and let me know your feedback.

Can any one of you give me some online Sites/examples Developed in ASP.NET using Webparts and using catalog zones. I think some online live examples can help in understanding the scope of catalog zones.

Regards,
Jagadeesh

Look at the code in private void GetWebParts(), especially these lines:

// retrieve the web parts from the database:
List lMWP = GetMyWebParts();

In my case, "GetMyWebParts()" retrieves a list from a Web Service, and because I use Kerberos I can determine in the Web Service which data I need to return, based on the user that connects to the WS.

Drag/drop from CatalogZone

manaaron — Tue, 03 Apr 2007 04:00:00 GMT

I have created a CatalogPartChrome class and a CatalogZone to override the CreateCatalogPartChrome method and return my CatalogPartChrome class that will render the parts. I try two ways to override RenderCatalogPart.

1.Use AjaxControlToolkit, an error about DragPanelExtender control occured. The description is "DragPanelExtender Page cannot be null. Please ensure that this operation is being performed in the context of an ASP.NET request."

Are there anyone could help me to fix this error, or any other suggestions about this way? thanks:)

2. I want to create a WebPartZone to implement the functionality. My part cannot be added to the zone. Is this way feasible? I need helps from guys who have knowledge about this.

Any suggestions are greately appreciated. My source code as bellow:

public override void RenderCatalogPart(HtmlTextWriter writer,

CatalogPart catalogPart)

{

//base.RenderCatalogPart(writer, catalogPart);

WebPartDescriptionCollection partDescriptions =

catalogPart.GetAvailableWebPartDescriptions();

#if

true

Panel panelContain = new Panel();

panelContain.ID =

"panelContainer";

panelContain.Width =

Unit.Pixel(250);

panelContain.BorderWidth =

Unit.Pixel(2);

panelContain.BorderStyle =

BorderStyle.Solid;

panelContain.BorderColor = System.Drawing.

Color.Black;

panelContain.BackColor = System.Drawing.

Color.Silver;

Panel panelPart;

foreach (WebPartDescription description in partDescriptions)

{

panelPart =

new Panel();

panelPart.ID =

"part" + description.ID.ToString();

panelPart.Attributes.Add(

"style", "width:100%; background-color:#FFF;text-align:left; cursor:move; font-weight:bold;");

Label lblPart = new Label();

lblPart.Text =

"Drag Me--" + description.Title;

lblPart.BackColor = System.Drawing.

Color.PowderBlue;

lblPart.Font.Size =

FontUnit.Small;

lblPart.BorderWidth =

Unit.Pixel(1);

lblPart.BorderStyle =

BorderStyle.Solid;

lblPart.Width =

Unit.Percentage(90);

lblPart.Height =

Unit.Pixel(20);

panelPart.Controls.Add(lblPart);

AjaxControlToolkit.

DragPanelExtender dragPanelExtender = new AjaxControlToolkit.DragPanelExtender();

dragPanelExtender.Page = (System.Web.UI.

Page)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Handler;

dragPanelExtender.Enabled =

true;

dragPanelExtender.DragHandleID = panelPart.ID;

dragPanelExtender.TargetControlID = panelContain.ID;

panelPart.Controls.Add(dragPanelExtender);

panelContainer.Controls.Add(panelPart);

}

panelContainer.RenderControl(writer);

#endif

#if

false

WebPartZone webpartzone1 = new WebPartZone();

WebPartManager manager1 = WebPartManager.GetCurrentWebPartManager((System.Web.UI.Page)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Handler);

//((System.Web.UI.Page)System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Handler).Controls.Add(webpartzone1);

int i = 0;

foreach (WebPartDescription description in partDescriptions)

{

WebPartIcon part = new WebPartIcon();

part.Title = description.Title;

manager1.AddWebPart(part, webpartzone1, i);

//manager1.MoveWebPart(part, webpartzone1, i);

i++;

}

writer.Write("<div style='padding-bottom:20px;color:#5377A9;font-family:Arial, Sans-Serif; font-weight:bold;font-size:0.8em;'>Drag part<div>");

webpartzone1.RenderControl(writer);

#endif

}

Re: Disable Verbs

Hi,

I was just trying to find out some help but I didn't find anything to disable verbs.

I did some rnd at my own end and got the result. Please find the below js that will solve the problem. Please let me know your input.

function HideWebpartLevelMenu(ctrlID,showMenu)

{

Arjun Tiwari

Hide edit or delete or any webpart menu that has not permission on

LTrim, RTrim and trim function is required as supporting function to trim the spaces

09032007

/*WebPart_wp786936923VerbsMenu

syntax Prefix = WebPart_

controls part.UniqueID

suffix VerbsMenu

LTrim(temp[menucounter].innerText.toString().toLowerCase())

get the webpart name, possiblity is $ sign and : sign so filter it mgr1$gwpt1

--PARAMETER INFORMATION

ctrlID is the controlID and showMenu will contain 'false,true' type string that mean

first string will be treated for edit menu and last string will be treated for delete menu

if(ctrlID!=null)

{

//if there is $ sign with the controls unique id

if(ctrlID.indexOf('$')>0)

{

ctrlID=ctrlID.substring(ctrlID.indexOf(

'$')+1,ctrlID.length);

}

//if there is : sign with the controls unique id

if(ctrlID.indexOf(':')>0)

{

ctrlID=ctrlID.substring(ctrlID.indexOf(

':')+1,ctrlID.length);

}

var doc=document.getElementById("WebPart_" + ctrlID + "VerbsMenu");

if(doc==null || doc=="undefined")

return;

var arr_showMenu=showMenu.split(",");

var temp=doc.getElementsByTagName("a");

for(menucounter=0;menucounter<temp.length; menucounter++)

{

//var menuLinkText=trim(temp[menucounter].innerText).toString().toLowerCase();

var menuLinkText=trim(temp[menucounter].title).toString().toLowerCase();

if(menuLinkText.substring(0,4)=='edit' && !ToggleMenu(arr_showMenu[0]))

{

temp[menucounter].style.display=

"none";

}

if(menuLinkText.substring(0,6)=='delete' && !ToggleMenu(arr_showMenu[1]))

{

temp[menucounter].style.display=

"none";

}

function ToggleMenu(showMenu)

{

if(showMenu!=null)

if(showMenu=="false")

return false;

return true;

}

// Removes leading whitespaces

function LTrim( value ) {

var re = /\s*((\S+\s*)*)/;

return value.replace(re, "$1");

}

// Removes ending whitespaces

function RTrim( value ) {

var re = /((\s*\S+)*)\s*/;

return value.replace(re, "$1");

}

// Removes leading and ending whitespaces

function trim( value ) {

return LTrim(RTrim(value));

}

One more challanging question of web part..

BhaveshPatel — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 05:00:00 GMT

hey guys!

I am creating the webpart(as usercontrol) dynamically and add them to the dummy zone and then close that zone, so basically It will go to the page catalog part... My code is something like below :

Control

control = LoadControl("~/UserControl/" + strFName);

control.ID =

"control";

WebPart myWebPart = WebPartManager1.CreateWebPart(control);

myWebPart.Title = strFName;

WebPart newPart = WebPartManager1.AddWebPart(myWebPart,WebPartManager1.Zones[0], 0);

WebPartManager1.CloseWebPart(newPart);

and also it is being added to the page catalog part very well...... But..... there is always but....

but it is being only added to that particular users's Pagecatalog only.... and What I am trying to implement is Administer can upload the webpart like above and that webpart will be available to All users's pagecatalogpart...

any Idea or any disucussion ??????

Re: Dynamic web parts - IDs constantly changing

austinHodge:

My goal: I want to develop a generic page that dynamically loads web parts based on metadata stored in the database. This metadata allows the administrator to create digital dashboards on the fly by specifying things like # of columns, web part controls, and data sources for the databound web parts.
