Redirecting a User to the Attachment Placeholder
|
|
| JumpingMattFlash 2005-12-19, 7:48 am |
| I'm trying to create a file download page whereby postings are created using
a template containing only a file attachment placeholder. On viewing the page
they are redirected to the URL of the file.
I've tried directing the user to
SingleAttachmentPlaceholderControl1.AttachmentUrl but this just redirects to
the channel name and not the channelname + posting name
Any ideas?
Many thanks in advance

| Hi,
actually redirecting to the URL below should not redirect to the channel and
should also not redirect to a posting.
It should redirect to the attachment.
Something seems to be wrong in your code or the AttachmentUrl contains a
wrong Url. Please verify the Url in this property.
Cheers,
Stefan

| On examining the contents of the AttachmentUrl property, it returns nothing.
I've tried getting the contents using the generic placeholder property but i
cant seem to find any information on the Url.
TIA,
Matt Brooke

| I've done this on our site. My template has one SingleAttachmentPlaceholder
called "DocumentLink" and I have set this so the redirect only happens when
a guest user visit the site. This way authors can change the attachment
content, but users will just be directed to the resource.
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim cmsContext As CmsHttpContext = CmsHttpContext.Current
Dim currentPosting As Posting = cmsContext.Posting
Dim attachPH As AttachmentPlaceholder =
currentPosting.Placeholders("DocumentLink")
If cmsContext.IsLoggedInAsGuest Then
Response.Redirect(attachPH.Url)
End If
End Sub
This is based on a template to redirect the user to a URL based on the
content of a TextBoxPlaceholder.
