I need to stop publishing of a page when a certain condition exists, for example if the page name contains 'one' using the Event System. Also, the other pages should continue to publish.
I am thinking to use a PublisherException instead of a generic exception.
The problem is the I do not know the resourceName of the LocalizableMessage. Any ideas?
if (item.Title.ToString().Contains("one"))
{
Localization.LocalizableMessage errResource = new Localization.LocalizableMessage("error");
throw new PublisherException(errResource, new Exception("Can't get there from here!"));
}
The Event System can stop Publishing, there is no middle ground there though, when you throw an exception, it stops the entire transaction.
Like Puntero mentions, if you want to remove an item from a Publish Transaction, that is where a Custom Resolver comes in. From here you cannot communicate back to the Publish Transaction, but you have access to the Tridion Logger (eventlog):
Tridion.Logging.Logger.Write("your message string", "MyResolver", LoggingCategory.General, TraceEventType.Information);
With regards to your LocalizableMessage in the Event System, you should be able to do the following:
throw new PublisherException(new LocalizableMessage(Properties.Resources.ResourceManager, "PagePublishErrorMessage"));
Where the resourceName is pointing to the name of a String resource you have in your Project.
I agree with #Puntero that if you want other page in a publish action to go through, you should use a Resolver rather than an Event Handler.
I tried to raise a warning to alert users of one item not being resolved, but failed. But there may be some good tips/ideas for you here: Raising a “warning” status during SDL Tridion 2011 publishing
In the end, the only way I could get anything to work was to set "Allow X failures", and then do a check in a template, and raise the error there. That will count as a Render failure, and allow the publisher to move on to the next item in the publish transaction.
As for the message? What message would you like to display?

The event raised by clicking on a phone number will either be of the form "tel:" or "skype:". Here are the steps I've followed so far to enable a window navigation rule to capture the event, and I've attached events to the rule to actually see the action get fired in the Debugger. Still, even with navigation rules set to capture tel: and skype:, the action will never fire in USD Debugger. Here is the general approach I've used so far (From another post):
Create a Windownavigation rule.
Don't put anything into the entity Settings but put "tel:" or "skype:" into the URL TextBox.
Routetype will be Popup
Target will be Tab (or registercard, at least I think that's the name for it in english - I'm using a german one)
Define None as Action in result for your Windownavigationrule
Create your own Action to resolve when the Navigation rule is triggered
Set your own hosted control (In this case I use the CTIConnector class.)
Define an Actionname for your Action that will be exectued (I named it "MakeCall" in CRM)
Set Data to [[SUBJECTURL]] so the URL ist given to the Action als Parameter.
Override the method DoAction from your hosted control
Just 2 -3 points to verify.
Do you have a UII action with the name "MakeCall"? If that is there then only your code will be triggered from DoAction.
In case, if you have above in place please check whether your action calls and other records are added to the respective configuration reocrd?
UPDATE: Google has recently updated their error message with an additional error code possibility: "timeout-or-duplicate".
This new error code seems to cover 99% of our previously mentioned mysterious
cases.
We are still left wondering why we get that many validation requests that are either timeouts or duplicates. Determinining this with certainty is likely to be impossible, but now I am just hoping that someone else has experienced something like it.
Disclaimer: I cross posted this to Google Groups, so apologies for spamming the ether for the ones of you who frequent both sites.
I am currently working on a page as part of a ASP.Net MVC application with a form that uses reCAPTCHA validation. The page currently has many daily users.
In my server side validation** of a reCAPTCHA response, for a while now, I have seen the case of the reCAPTCHA response having its success property set to false, but with an accompanying empty error code array.
Most of the requests pass validation, but some keep exhibiting this pattern.
So after doing some research online, I explored the two possible scenarios I could think of:
The validation has timed out and is no longer valid.
The user has already been validated using the response value, so they are rejected the second time.
After collecting data for a while, I have found that all cases of "Success: false, error codes: []" have either had the validation be rather old (ranging from 5 minutes to 10 days(!)), or it has been a case of a re-used response value, or sometimes a combination of the two.
Even after implementing client side prevention of double-clicking my submit-form button, a lot of double submits still seem to get through to the server side Google reCAPTCHA validation logic.
My data tells me that 1.6% (28) of all requests (1760) have failed with at least one of the above scenarios being true ("timeout" or "double submission").
Meanwhile, not a single request of the 1760 has failed where the error code array was not empty.
I just have a hard time imagining a practical use case where a ChallengeTimeStamp gets issued, and then after 10 days validation is attempted, server side.
My question is:
What could be the reason for a non-negligible percentage of all Google reCAPTCHA server side validation attempts to be either very old or a case of double submission?
**By "server side validation" I mean logic that looks like this:
public bool IsVerifiedUser(string captchaResponse, string endUserIp)
{
string apiUrl = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Google_Captcha_API"];
string secret = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Google_Captcha_SecretKey"];
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
var parameters = new Dictionary<string, string>
{
{ "secret", secret },
{ "response", captchaResponse },
{ "remoteip", endUserIp },
};
var content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(parameters);
var response = client.PostAsync(apiUrl, content).Result;
var responseContent = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
GoogleCaptchaResponse googleCaptchaResponse = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<GoogleCaptchaResponse>(responseContent);
if (googleCaptchaResponse.Success)
{
_dal.LogGoogleRecaptchaResponse(endUserIp, captchaResponse);
return true;
}
else
{
//Actual code ommitted
//Try to determine the cause of failure
//Look at googleCaptchaResponse.ErrorCodes array (this has been empty in all of the 28 cases of "success: false")
//Measure time between googleCaptchaResponse.ChallengeTimeStamp (which is UTC) and DateTime.UtcNow
//Check reCAPTCHAresponse against local database of previously used reCAPTCHAresponses to detect cases of double submission
return false;
}
}
}
Thank you in advance to anyone who has a clue and can perhaps shed some light on the subject.
You will get timeout-or-duplicate problem if your captcha is validated twice.
Save logs in a file in append mode and check if you are validating a Captcha twice.
Here is an example
$verifyResponse = file_get_contents('https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify?secret='.$secret.'&response='.$_POST['g-recaptcha-response'])
file_put_contents( "logfile", $verifyResponse, FILE_APPEND );
Now read the content of logfile created above and check if captcha is verified twice
This is an interesting question, but it's going to be impossible to answer with any sort of certainly. I can give an educated guess about what's occurring.
As far as the old submissions go, that could simply be users leaving the page open in the browser and coming back later to finally submit. You can handle this scenario in a few different ways:
Set a meta refresh for the page, such that it will update itself after a defined period of time, and hopefully either get a new ReCAPTCHA validation code or at least prompt the user to verify the CAPTCHA again. However, this is less than ideal as it increases requests to your server and will blow out any work the user has done on the form. It's also very brute-force: it will simply refresh after a certain amount of time, regardless of whether the user is currently actively using the page or not.
Use a JavaScript timer to notify the user about the page timing out and then refresh. This is like #1, but with much more finesse. You can pop a warning dialog telling the user that they've left the page sitting too long and it will soon need to be refreshed, giving them time to finish up if they're actively using it. You can also check for user activity via events like onmousemove. If the user's not moving the mouse, it's very likely they aren't on the page.
Handle it server-side, by catching this scenario. I actually prefer this method the most as it's the most fluid, and honestly the easiest to achieve. When you get back success: false with no error codes, simply send the user back to the page, as if they had made a validation error in the form. Provide a message telling them that their CAPTCHA validation expired and they need to verify again. Then, all they have to do is verify and resubmit.
The double-submit issue is a perennial one that plagues all web developers. User behavior studies have shown that the vast majority occur because users have been trained to double-click icons, and as a result, think they need to double-click submit buttons as well. Some of it is impatience if something doesn't happen immediately on click. Regardless, the best thing you can do is implement JavaScript that disables the button on click, preventing a second click.
Current Project:
ASP.NET 4.5.2
MVC 5
PayPal API
I am using this example to build myself a PayPal transaction (and yes, my code is virtually identical), as I do not know of any other method that will return the three values in the title.
My main problem is that, the example I am utilizing is much more concise and compact than the one I used for a much older Web Forms application, and as such, I am unsure as to where or even how to grab the three values I need.
My initial thought was to do so right after the ACK, and indeed I was able to obtain the CorrelationId as well as the TimeStamp, but because this was prior to the user being carted off to PayPal’s site (sandbox in this case -- see the return new PayPalRedirect contained within the if), the TransactionId was blank. And in this example, PayPal explicitly redirects the user to a Success page without returning to the Action that sent the user to PayPal in the first place, and I am not seeing any GET values in the URL at all aside from the Token and the PayerId, much less ones that could provide me with the TransactionId.
Suggestions?
I have also looked at the following examples:
For ASP.NET Core, was unsure how to adapt to my current project particularly due to appsettings.json, but it looked quite well done. I really liked how the values were rolled up in lists.
For MVC 4, but I couldn’t find where ACK was being used to determine success or successwithwarning so I couldn’t hook into that.
I have also found the PayPal content to be like trying to drink from a fire hose at full blast -- not only was the content was hopelessly outdated (Web Forms code, FTW!) but there was also so many different examples it would have taken me days to determine which one was most appropriate to use.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: my initial attempt at modifying the linked code has this portion:
values = Submit(values);
var ack = values["ACK"].ToLower();
if(ack == "success" || ack == "successwithwarning") {
using(_db = new ApplicationDbContext()) {
var updateOrder = await _db.Orders.FirstOrDefaultAsync(x => x.OrderId == order.OrderId);
if(updateOrder != null) {
updateOrder.OrderProcessed = false;
updateOrder.PayPalCorrelationId = values["CORRELATIONID"];
updateOrder.PayPalTransactionId = values["TRANSACTIONID"];
updateOrder.PayPalTimeStamp = values["TIMESTAMP"];
updateOrder.IPAddress = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserHostAddress;
_db.Entry(updateOrder).State = EntityState.Modified;
await _db.SaveChangesAsync();
}
}
return new PayPalRedirect {
Token = values["TOKEN"],
Url = $"https://{PayPalSettings.CgiDomain}/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_express-checkout&token={values["TOKEN"]}"
};
}
Everything within and including the using() is my added content. As I mentioned, the CorrelationId and the TimeStamp come through just fine, but I have yet to successfully obtain the TransactionId.
Edit 2:
More problems -- the transactions that are “successful” through the sandbox site (the ReturnUrl is getting called) aren’t reflecting properly on my Facilitator and Buyer accounts, even when I do payments straight from the buyer’s PayPal account (not using the Credit Card). I know I am supposed to see transactions in the Buyer’s account, either through the overall Dev account (Accounts -> Profile -> balance or Accounts -> Notifications) or through the Buyer’s account in the sandbox front end. And yet -- multiple transactions returning me to the ReturnUrl path, and yet no transactions in either.
Edit 3:
Okay, this is really, really weird. I have gone over all settings with a fine-toothed comb, and intentionally introduced errors to see where things should crap out. It turns out that the entire process goes swimmingly - except nothing shows up in my notifications and no amounts get moved between my different accounts (Facilitator and Buyer). It’s like all my transactions are going into /dev/null, yet the process is successful.
Edit 4: A hint!
In the sandbox, where Buyer accepts the transaction, there is a small note, “You will be able to review the transaction before completing it” or something like that -- suggesting that an additional page is not coming up and that the user is being uncerimoniously dumped back to the success page. Why the success page? No clue. But it’s happening.
It sounds like you are only doing the first part of the process.
Express Checkout consists of 3 API calls:
SetExpressCheckout
GetExpressCheckoutDetails
DoExpressCheckoutPayment
SEC generates a token, and then you redirect to PayPal where the user signs in and reviews the transactions before agreeing to pay.
They are then sent to the ReturnURL included in your SEC request, and this is where you'll call GECD in order to obtain all the buyer details that are now available since they signed in.
Using that data you can complete the final DECP request, which is what finalizes the procedure. No money is actually processed until this final call is completed successfully.
We are publishing extra page using event system on publishing event of pages.
It is working well when we publish a page from the CME. When we create a page using Tridion UI, it is created and published as expected but the event system throws error when it tries to create a target type object.
try
{
foreach (var t in e.Targets)
{
var targets = new List<TargetType>();
some logic
targets.Add(new TargetType(t.Id, page.Session)); // error is in this line
PublishInstructionBase pib = e.PublishTransactions.First().Instruction;
PublishInstruction pi = new PublishInstruction(page.Session);
pi.StartAt = pib.StartAt;
pi.RollbackOnFailure = pib.RollbackOnFailure;
PublishEngine.Publish(
items,
pi,
targets,
PublishPriority.Low
);
}
}
Exception we are getting is InvalidURIException
Both t and Session are not definitely not null which we verified by writing log over there.
Please do suggest what we can to fix the issue?
We manage to fix that by little hack putting code in try catch and creating target type manually if there is exception as we do know Tridion UI publish to staging only initially.
Thanks,
Vikas Kumar
It's hard to tell without exception and stack trace, but I assume you need to read TargetType first and not try to create it, like this:
(TargetType) page.Session.GetObject(t.Id)
It might be that the URIs you use are not from the same Publication context and are therefore invalid.
Environment : ASP.NET, C#
I am writing a web program that will export 12 tables to another database. When the user click the "Export" button, the export process will get started. The thing is, I like to show some messages to client such as "preparing..., deleting old records..., exporting..., export completed."
But now, It is showing all status once 12 table are completed.
Please guide me how to do this.
Doing long processes like this is on a web page is probably not a good idea, you will need change the timeout settings on pages etc
Rather build a windows service that does all the work. You can then use the Page to initialte the process. The service could update some status that is read by the page. This way the page does very little work, ie initiate the process and poll for status updates. This can be done via simple jquery/ajax calls.
try this
put this on c#
and call ajavascript function per process
Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("1","alert('add to table now')");
Use a javascript timer to periodically load content from a status page or service.
The timer is fairly simple:
setTimeout('checkProcessStatus()', waitTime);
The update itself depends on your choice of tech - for instance if using MVC and jQuery:
function checkProcessStatus() {
//dynamically add the html from the status page to <div id="taskStatusPanel"
$('#taskStatusPanel').load('export/status/' + taskId);
//set timer to call this again
setTimeout('checkProcessStatus()', waitTime);
}
Then the ExportController.Status action would return a simple view that displayed the HTML for the current status.
