Setting up an iMIS 15 Home Page/Dashboard

Posted October 1st, 2007 by John Mann

Does anyone have a way to set up the home page/dashboard for iMIS 15?

I'm not sure how to get to it now that none of the Framework pages are available.

Here's how to do it

This is how to set up a custom home-page for iMIS 15.

By default the home page is the default.aspx file in

C:\Program Files\ASI\iMIS15\net\

If you have the Navigation Designer you can change this to another page, otherwise just edit this file directly. The page needs to have some minimal values - it must have a 

<asp:Content ID="MainContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="TemplateBody" runat="server">

</asp:Content>

to know where to load the content, and some C# code to check if a user is logged in. The page below displays the contents of a second web site located on the same web server, with details of the currently logged on user being passed through to allow for personalisation.

Here is my new default.aspx page:

<%@ Page Language="C#" Inherits="Asi.Web.UI.DisplayPageBase" Title="iMIS - Welcome to the World of iMIS" %>

<script language="C#" runat="server">
    protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnInit(e);

        if (Request["hkey"] == null)
        {
            //Asi.Business.ContentManagement.Website website = Asi.Business.ContentManagement.WebsiteController.Website(new Guid("E28BB596-80D6-48CA-B241-09745C03FAC2"));
            string url = Asi.Web.Utilities.GetTildeExpansion() + "/Admin/imis15.web.Home/Default.aspx"; // +website.DefaultSectionURL + "Default.aspx";
            Response.Redirect(url, true);
        }
    }
    protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnLoad(e);

        if (Asi.Security.AppPrincipal.CurrentPrincipal != null)
        {
            Asi.iBO.ContactManagement.CContact contact = new Asi.iBO.ContactManagement.CContact(Asi.ContentManagerNet.ContentManager.CMUser, ((Asi.Security.AppPrincipal)Asi.Security.AppPrincipal.CurrentPrincipal).AppIdentity.ContactMaster);
            // WelcomeMessage.Text = string.Format("Welcome to our Website, {0} {1} {2} !", contact.FirstName, contact.LastName, contact.ContactId.ToString());
            HomeFrame.Attributes["src"] = "http://localhost/HelloiMIS/NewHomePage.html?firstname=" + contact.FirstName + "&lastname=" + contact.LastName + "&ID=" + contact.ContactId;
            
        }
    }
</script>

<asp:Content ID="MainContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="TemplateBody" runat="server">

<!--     <asp:Label ID="WelcomeMessage" runat="Server">Welcome To Our Website!</asp:Label> -->
     <iframe frameborder="0" height="100%" id="HomeFrame" width="100%" runat="Server"></iframe> 

</asp:Content>

Here are the contents of the NewHomePage.html

<html>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
document.write("URL=" + location.href);
</script>
</body>
</html>

This is what is displayed for the user:
URL=http://localhost/HelloiMIS/NewHomePage.html?firstname=MANAGER&lastname=&ID=194

change homepage to be any web page

On May 21st, 2008 jhull-jurkovic says:

You can change your homepage (or any imis page for that matter) to be a webpage. Here is what we do to run iDashboards on the homepage - we simply change the src to be the new web page.

Change the line in the above comment:
HomeFrame.Attributes["src"] = "http://localhost/HelloiMIS/NewHomePage.html?firstname=" + contact.FirstName + "&lastname=" + contact.LastName + "&ID=" + contact.ContactId;

To

HomeFrame.Attributes["src"] = “http://localhost:6500/idashboards/”;

voila

Note to iDashboards users

On September 8th, 2008 Ted Ericson says:

Jyoti's line to call the URL for iDashboards assumed the self-installing downloaded demo version. When fully installed the port 6500 is not the default. Rather it is 8080, the default port when the Apache Tomcat Java server is installed.

So instead of
HomeFrame.Attributes["src"] = “http://localhost:6500/idashboards/”;

...it should be
HomeFrame.Attributes["src"] = “http://[yourservername]:8080/idashboards/”;

Problem changing the home page from Content Management

On September 11th, 2009 odoro says:

Hi All,

I changed the link/URL for the Home Page in Site Designer from "~/Default.aspx"  to a published Web content.  Afterwards I started getting the error message below each time I click on the folder "iMIS" in the Manage Conent navigation pane.  However when I click on "go" just below the top menus it opens up the properties for the Home Page, but:

1.  It does not let me change the link/url back to "~/Default.aspx" 

2.  When I changed the link to another url I am unable to publish the changes.

 

Anybody has any ideas how I can get this resolved please?

 

Thanks

You appear (from the error

On September 11th, 2009 Eric Means says:

You appear (from the error message) to have selected a Content Folder as the target, rather than a Content Record. Make sure you select a content record instead.

You are right

On September 14th, 2009 odoro says:

You are right Eric,  I changed the value in a content folder "Home" and started getting this problem.  Now I want to change it back to what it was before and it will not let me.
