DD4TFormRouteHandler (posting a form as tridion page url)

ASP.NET routing enables us to use URLs that are not physical files, In DD4T we have the default page route definition. In which all page request redirct to Page controller and process the page. DD4TFormRouteHandler is a custom route handler responsible for mapping incoming browser requests to particular MVC controller actions, this works along with  DD4TFormHelper  (that generate the route information for the form) Posting a form in DD4T is not complicated, you can create the mvc form as a normal controller and action, then post it via AJAX. But, when we need to do post the form as normal page, It would need a tweak as the controller/action is not a page existed in tridion. This can be achieved by implementing a custom Mvc RoutHandler and reroute the posted form to the encrypted action and controller. It works as below daigram. So, how to do this. to render out the form we have BeginDD4TForm html helper as below that generate the form with encrypted route values....

Navigation in DD4T

There always been a question on What is the best approach for building navigation with DD4T and ASP.NET MVC? Answer is: There is TridionSiteMapProvider as part of the DD4T.Mvc project, which can be used out of the box. The  DD4T.Examples.Templates project also have a example on how Sitemap can be generated from the template ( TBB ) Many organization will have different kinds of navigation structure, It can be from very simple structure or it can be a heavily complex in nature. In this article you can see how the default SitemapProvider can be used and how we could customize to achieve complex Navigations like Megamenu or similar using TridionSiteMapProvider. Setting up the default TridionSiteMapProvider The only configuration you would need to do in web.config is set the your default sitemap provider is as below. <system.web> <siteMap defaultProvider= "TridionSiteMapProvider" enabled= "true" > <providers> <clear/> ...

pjax with MVC, and form post like pjax

Last weekend I was working on a interesting project, and came across an interesting JavaScript library called pjax. More information on pjax: https://github.com/defunkt/jquery-pjax/ http://pjax.heroku.com/ pjax loads HTML from your server into the current page without a full reload. It's ajax with real permalinks, page titles, and a working back button that fully degrades, It just enhances the browsing experience. I just loved the way we could use it with MVC; Below code sample explains how we could use the same with MVC. Clientside code would look as below: Since the Form post is not handled with pjax, we can do a work around as below. Updated _ViewStart.cshtml as below: @{ if (Request.Headers["X-PJAX"] != null || Request.Headers["AJAX-FORM"]!=null) { Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_PjaxLayout.cshtml"; } else { Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml"; } } _PjaxLayout.cshtml ...
