Web Content Management

Asi.Membership.MembershipService.MembershipWebService ws = new Asi.Membership.MembershipService.MembershipWebService();

We need to generate a password based on the iMIS Businesss rules from the Webconfig file.

Is there another iBO method to generate a password in 15.2.1?

 

Asi.Membership.MembershipService.

MembershipWebService ws = new Asi.Membership.MembershipService.MembershipWebService();string password = ws.GeneratePassword(); //failed with 404 error

Specific Event Titles on Webpages rather than "Event Display" (15.2.1.3282)

Hi,

Has anyone been able to customise iMIS so that event titles show in the <title> field on webpages.

When we drill down into an event to see the details, the title is always "Event Display".

This causes issues when these pages are crawled by search engines.

Ideally, we'd like to see the specific title of the event in the title field or appended to the title field for these pages.

Left / secondary navigation in side bar panel - Aspen theme

I'm working with the Aspen / member theme to create a new WCM website, and have realised that these themes come without the side bar content / navigation that you would find in templates 1600 and below.

So i'm trying to find a way to include the side bar / left navigation into the master page?

ASI docs seems to suggest that you can customise your theme by adding "<asi:PageSubNav>" to your master page.http://docs.imis.com/15.2/index.htm#!definingnavigationareasandbreadcrumbareas1.htm though unfortunately i cannot get this to work.

How to Redirect User when Login for first time

I would appreciate your assistance in completing this script to redirect a user to a specific WCM content the first time the user logs in. I thought I'd use the same principle in Member website to redirect a logged in user to MemberHome.aspx - i.e. add the script as a contentHTML iPart. Can you please advise how I can fill in this bit: "SOA_TO_IDENTIFY_USER_1ST_TIME_LOGGEDIN"?

<script language="C#" runat="server">

protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{

    base.OnInit(e);
    
    userId = Asi.Security.AppPrincipal.CurrentIdentity.UserId;
    if (SOA_TO_IDENTIFY_USER_1ST_TIME_LOGGEDIN)
    {
        Response.Redirect("~/MemberFirstLogin.aspx", false);
        HttpContext.Current.ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest();
        return;
    }    
    
}

</script>

Thank you for your advice and suggestions

iQA/event list iPart

Is anyone aware of an iPart that will display the results of a query in a list format? I have a couple clients looking for something as simple as an event list - they don't want to use the calendar event listing nor the grids/tablular view of the standard iQA query iPart.

Just checking to see if anyone is aware of something like this.

WCM/PV menu modifications

I've been working on a Public View customization and I've run across an issue with the asp:menu control whilst working on the master page. I'm trying to adjust the Display levels in the menu, but whenever I change the settings, I get the following useful error:

Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: value
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Theme folder and social networking images from Member site

In the Member (MBR) site, I noticed that in the Social networking content item, there are four images that use the [Theme]/images/ directory for the Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn icons.

1) I've copied the content record from the member content folder to the a newly created site content folder. When I edit the content record, none of the images are displayed. When I published, there is no change to that. Does WCM know how to decipher [Theme]?

PayPal Comments

Is it possible to modify the comments (1 or 2) sent to PayPal manager via PayFlowPro through WCM? If so, how? Thanks

Multiple Entity WCM Setup

For a multiple entity iMIS setup, is it possible to set up online cash accounts (W_VISA) for multiple entities and set a variable on the site, product/event or page level to declare what entity/cash account the financial transaction should be processed through.

two entities: ABC and XYZ both have their own financial accounts and are two separate organizations, but they share the same iMIS database. For the desktop operations, they've setup cash accounts for A_VISA and X_VISA (same for MC and AMEX) to distinguish one entity from the other. Now whence getting WCM setup, will have two separate sites ABC.org and XYZ.org within WCM. Is it possible to set financial transactions on ABC.org to use W_A_VISA and XYZ.org to use W_X_VISA cash accounts? Or is there a way to at the product, event or even function level declare the entity that would then drive the cash account used? I am aware that events and functions have an entity code/setting, but does that drive cash accounts used for CC processing?

WCM Multiple master pages

I am developing a WCM based website for a client.

Is it true that WCM only supports 2 possible layouts within the same site, one for the home page, and another for the sub pages, controlled from a single .master page?

I would have thought it would be a given feature of any content management system to be able to define a template on a per page level. I would expect that you could create any number of .master pages with the desired layouts, then choose one of these on a per page level.
