template switching form post
|
|

| Hi,
I'm creating a site that can show all postings with or
without layout (for blind surfers). To make the
maintenance of the site straightforward, the authors only
work in the 'layout-version'. Each template (with layout)
has one connected template(without layout,css,...).
The content of each posting is shown on the normal
template or on the connected template depending on the
user preference (cookie).
I use template-switching in the Page_Load event of the
layout template:
//code fragment of the layout-template:
if (blindCookie != null && blindCookie.Value == "True")
{
//switch to corresponding blind template
Template te = cc.Posting.Template.ConnectedTemplates[0];
string strAlternateUrl = te.SourceFile + "?POSTINGGUID=" +
cc.Posting.Guid;
System.IO.StringWriter swrTarget = new
System.IO.StringWriter();
Server.Execute(strAlternateUrl, swrTarget);
Response.Write(swrTarget.ToString());
Response.End();
}
All works fine until I try to use a form post: this only
works on the original template. When I post data from a
posting that is shown with the connected(blind)template,
this error occurs:
This operation requires the context of a Posting. The
request must have a valid Posting Url or QueryString so
that the CmsHttpContext.Posting will not be null.
-InitializeComponent();
-base.OnInit(e); (this line generates the error)
I understand that a posting does not exist (it's the
connected template that shows the content of the original
posting), but I do not know how to tell asp.net to post
the data to the original posting.
I hope you understand this and can help me?
Steven

| Hi Steven,
you need to ensure that the NRNODEGUID query string parameter is included in
the POST request.
Cheers,
Stefan.
