Hi:

I'm creating a control that will have links to pages in mojoPortal. I want the pages to be created when users use my control instead of going through the "New Page" menu. Is there a function I can call that can add all the required info to the database?

Hi,

I'm doing something similar.  I have a situation where I need to create a page dynamically under very controlled circumstances.  This is to enable a legacy system to be integrated into a mojo site.

I've borrowed code from the PageSettings.aspx page and when I run it I find that a new page record is created in mp_Pages and it looks fine.  I realised after a while I also need to create a FriendlyUrl to link the page url to the real url, so I borrowed the code that appears to do this, but I don't get an entry in mp_FriendlyUrls.  I can't work out where I'm going wrong.  I've tried to keep things as simple as possible at the moment (so not much checking of existing entries going on) but here's my code below.  hallPageID is the id of the parent page, btw, and is set earlier.    Have I missed something?

Thanks in anticipation!

//just create a single page for now

pageHall = new PageSettings();

            parentPage = new PageSettings(siteSettings.SiteId, hallPageID);

            pageHall.ParentId = parentPage.PageId;

            pageHall.ParentGuid = parentPage.PageGuid;

            pageHall.PageName = "thisisatest";

            pageHall.PageTitle = "This is a test";

            pageHall.SiteId = siteSettings.SiteId;

            pageHall.SiteGuid = siteSettings.SiteGuid;

            pageHall.Url = "~/testhall";

            pageHall.UseUrl = true;

            pageHall.AuthorizedRoles = parentPage.AuthorizedRoles;

            pageHall.EditRoles = parentPage.EditRoles;

            pageHall.CreateChildPageRoles = parentPage.CreateChildPageRoles;

            pageHall.AllowBrowserCache = false;

            pageHall.MenuImage = "blank.gif";

            pageHall.ChangeFrequency = parentPage.ChangeFrequency;

            pageHall.PageOrder = PageSettings.GetNextPageOrder(siteSettings.SiteId,parentPage.PageId);

            bool saved = pageHall.Save();

            //now need to create a friendly url

            String friendlyUrlString = pageHall.Url.Replace("~/", String.Empty);

            FriendlyUrl friendlyUrl = new FriendlyUrl(siteSettings.SiteId, friendlyUrlString);

            friendlyUrl.SiteGuid = siteSettings.SiteGuid;

            friendlyUrl.PageGuid = pageHall.PageGuid;

            friendlyUrl.RealUrl = "~/Default.aspx?pageid=" + pageHall.PageId.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

            friendlyUrl.Save();

Hi Joe,

Thanks!  Yes, of course that does help, as ever.  Mind you, I assumed that the constructor I used would set the url within the friendlyurl object, but obviously not!  It needed to be set to "testhall" of course, not "~/testhall", which is what I was passing into the constructor.  Anyway, passing it in subsequently does indeed work.

Yes, I realised you have the SuggestFriendlyUrl method there, but in this particular instance I need to 'hard code' the urls (albeit from another database) in order to maintain an existing set of urls that currently exist in the legacy system.

Thanks again for your speedy and helpful response - it really makes working with mojoPortal a relatively stress-free occupation knowing you and a few other experts are around to help when we get stuck!
