I did a lot of research and testing with SignalR and I have an issue with it.
I'm creating a .Net MVC3 web application. The user interface is like this :
I'am not allowed to post images, so you can check the User Interface at this link :
http://deasign.free.fr/InterfaceVadis.jpeg
The goal is :
User1 enter the Webapp, click on an Item, and see the Editing partial view.
User2 enter the WebApp, click on the same Item. I want to LOCK the view for him.
Goal : Only one user at a time can edit an Item.
When the User1 leave the editing view by click previous/next/clicking on the list, logout or just close his browser the User2 had to receive instantly (via SignalR) a notification and the editing page is not locked Anymore
I have tried several thing but not achieved it.
1°) In which part do I have to declare the SignalR Hub ? In the Right Partial view or on the parent page ? I tried both but was unable to make the Disconnect function work as I want :(
I hope I've been clear, sorry for my English
If you need other information, don't hesitate
Thanks to all :)
For all user operations such as previous/next/click etc, you could just call a function on the hub that would unlock the item:
JS:
$("#Next").click(function(e) {
myHub.next();
});
CS:
public class MyHub : Hub {
public void next() {
var itemId = ClientManager.GetCurrentEditedItemForClient(Caller.id);
ItemManager.UnlockItem(itemId);
}
public void previous() {
var itemId = ClientManager.GetCurrentEditedItemForClient(Caller.id);
ItemManager.UnlockItem(itemId);
}
}
As for client leaving by closing, I know you can implement the IDisconnect interface and handle disconnects from there:
public class MyHub : Hub, IDisconnect {
public void Disconnect()
{
var itemId = ClientManager.GetCurrentEditedItemForClient(Context.ClientId);
ItemManager.UnlockItem(itemId);
}
}
However, I also know that I haven't had much luck with the disconnect implementation. Maybe a routine that would check peridicaly the status of every client, or a pinger, anything. Someone else may have a better idea on this.

I asked this question before which has got a very good response. But as I am new to asp.net (and jquery) cant understand how the program is flowing.
Summary:
I have created a Basic chat application. Now I am trying to add a advanced function like whenever a user is online (connected to a server), the server should show or broadcast the available online user's username to all the users connected to that server.
By referring the responses to the previous question (s0nica and VinayC), I modified my class file and jquery file, which are giving errors as shown in the below links. (I think I am very close)
Chat.cs (Two errors, I mentioned errors in between code comments)
file.js (Working fine, refer it if you need to)
Please have a look to the above files and assist me.
PS: In the previous post, I was thinking that if I change the Global.asax code, my problem will be solved.. which I realized later as wrong..
Your first error from:
Clients.joins(Context.ConnectionId, Caller.username, DateTime.Now);
Shold be:
Clients.All.joins(Context.ConnectionId, Clients.Caller.username, DateTime.Now);
Other errors associated with it: In your JS file it should be:
Line 15
chat.state.username = chatUsername;
Second error:
The error is exactly as it states, you do not have a toList function off of your dictionary object. Secondly you can't plainly convert a List or a string directly to a Chat object.
Based on your setup you currently dont have a proper "user" list to return. Right now you're saving a List to represent an individual user. You might want to try changing your dictionary object to be something like
static ConcurrentDictionary<string, User> _users = new ConcurrentDictionary<string, User>();
Where User is:
public class User
{
public string Name { get; set; }
public string ConnectionID { get; set; }
}
Then on your Joined function you could just do:
public void Joined()
{
User user = new User
{
Name = Clients.Caller.username,
ConnectionID = Context.ConnectionId
};
_users.TryAdd(user.ConnectionID, user);
Clients.All.joins(user.ConnectionID, user.Name, DateTime.Now);
}
Lastly your GetConnectedUsers would end up(make sure you're 'using System.Linq;'):
public List<User> GetConnectedUsers()
{
return _users.Values.ToList();
}
I probably went a little bit overboard but hopefully this helps!
If you need a reference to the change log from SignalR 0.5.3 to 1.0 alpha here's a great post on all of the modifications:

I am new to Tridion Event System. I have written a small code.
[TcmExtension("MyEventHandlerExtension")]
public class EH : TcmExtension
{
public EH()
{
Subscribe();
}
public void Subscribe()
{
//EventSystem.Subscribe<Component, DeleteEventArgs>(HandlerForInitiated, EventPhases.Initiated);
EventSystem.Subscribe<Tridion.ContentManager.CommunicationManagement.Page, Tridion.ContentManager.Extensibility.Events.PublishOrUnPublishEventArgs>(HandlerForCommitted, EventPhases.All);
}
private void HandlerForCommitted(IdentifiableObject subject, PublishOrUnPublishEventArgs args, EventPhases phase)
{
TDSE obj = new TDSE();
Tridion.ContentManager.Interop.TDS.Publication pub = obj.GetPublication("tcm:0-150-1");
Tridion.ContentManager.Interop.TDS.Page pubPage = obj.GetPage("tcm:150-12374-64", pub);
pubPage.Publish("tcm:0-1-65538", false, true, false, default(DateTime), default(DateTime), default(DateTime));
}
}
using this code i wanted to publish a page everytime when a publish and unpublish event occur.
I build this code and register its path in tridion config file .
But its not working.Please Help
Ok, first of all remove all your TDSE code, you should use TOM.NET. You can get session as subject.Session
Then make sure you have registered this extension in Tridion.ContentManager.config and restarted your system
And finally - if something doesn't work, just add simple code that will create a file in your HandlerForCommitted whenever event occurs, this way you will be able to see if your extension get executed.
The 2011 Event System uses the TOM.NET API and not the TOM API. Please do not create new TDSE objects in the 2011 Event System. Even though you can reference the old Interop libraries, there is no reason to do so with 2011. Using the TOM.NET libraries you should see better performance and also the code is future-proof.
Mihai Cadariu has a nice example where he uses TOM.NET to Publish a page from a Tridion Template. Adjusting the code to check for previewmode or publish mode and setting your own user and priority (instead of reading it from the current transaction) should work well.
Below code from http://yatb.mitza.net/2012/05/publishing-from-template-code-using.html
public void Publish(Engine engine, String tcmUri, User user, PublishPriority priority)
{
Session session = new Session(user.Title);
PublishInstruction publishInstruction = new PublishInstruction(session);
RenderInstruction renderInstruction = new RenderInstruction(session);
renderInstruction.RenderMode = RenderMode.Publish; // work around. needs to be specified for binaries.
publishInstruction.RenderInstruction = renderInstruction;
List<IdentifiableObject> items = new List<IdentifiableObject>() { session.GetObject(tcmUri) };
List<PublicationTarget> targets = new List<PublicationTarget>() { engine.PublishingContext.PublicationTarget };
PublishEngine.Publish(items, publishInstruction, targets, priority);
session.Dispose();
}
// called with
PublishTransaction currentTransaction = TemplateUtils.GetPublishTransaction(engine);
TemplateUtils.Publish(engine, itemUri, currentTransaction.Creator, currentTransaction.Priority);
Your code seems to have the three things I "normally" forget:
the class is public
it extends TcmExtension
it has a TcmExtension attribute
If you've registered the class correctly in the configuration file, it should just be a matter of restarting the relevant module(s). In this case I'd expect those to be the Publisher and TcmServiceHost services.
After restarting those modules and triggering a publish action, you should see an event being logged (in the Windows event viewer) that your extension is being loaded.
If that even shows, it means your assembly is being loaded into the relevant Tridion process and the class is being recognized and instantiated.
If at this stage your handler doesn't fire you may have to consider listening to a different event. Whenever I want to interact with the publishing, I end up listening for the SaveEventArgs of a PublishTransaction, instead of the PublishOrUnPublishEventArgs on the Page.
This is my first post, sorry my English
Hello every one. I am a new programmer in PHP and i would like to use Zend Mobile Framework to implement my push notificator server.
I'm searching how to implement the tomcat project used in
http://developer.android.com/guide/google/gcm/demo.html
but written in PHP.
In the code most below I written the used sources.
When I call the submit button, always have response with InvalidRegistration error.
Can anyone see where the error?
Thank You very much
http://pastebin.com/MauzLX71
According with Android GCM's architectural overview you have an invalidRegistration error when:
Invalid Registration ID Check the formatting of the registration ID
that you pass to the server. Make sure it matches the registration ID
the phone receives in the com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION
intent and that you're not truncating it or adding additional
characters. Happens when error code is InvalidRegistration.
Check the official GCM documentaion here, please.
One of the things that you are likely having happen here is the following:
Your code is actually processing and attempting to send a message prior to your call of sendPush which may be causing part of the issue.
I've modified the code and had put the registration id in there: http://pastebin.com/NhrD5N6i
Did you sign up for an API key and replace that portion in the code?
In the demo client application; it shows how to actually leverage the registration; see my comment on the following GitHub issue: https://github.com/mwillbanks/Zend_Mobile/issues/16
Your server needs to have the registration id from the device; this is likely what you do not have.
One way of getting the registration ID is on the onRegistered call inside the client app, do a Log.i("MY_APP_TAG", regId); then look at the logcat output.
Android Example
public class GCMIntentService extends GCMBaseIntentService {
public GCMIntentService() {
super(Constants.SENDER_ID);
}
#Override
protected void onRegistered(Context context, String regId) {
Log.i("MY_APP_TAG", "Registered: " + regId);
}
#Override
protected void onUnregistered(Context context, String regId) {
// write a call here to send the regId to your server and unregister it
}
#Override
protected void onMessage(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i("MY_APP_TAG", "Received message!");
// grabbing data looks like the following; the assumption
// is title is part of the data string.
String title = intent.getExtras().getString("title");
}
}
*Zend_Mobile_Push_Gcm Example*
See the updated link (http://pastebin.com/NhrD5N6i) I provided of your pasted code; you will want to use the registration ID above in the textbox.
We may never know why Microsoft decided to limit developers by making HealthVault applications constrained to a single web/app.config entry for a HealthVault application. However I need to be able to make 2 (or more) HealthVault ApplicationID’s work with one ASP.NET website? I’m looking for an effective and reliable way to do this.
I won’t go into the details of the reasoning behind 2 different HealthVault applications, but other than to say we need it to work. I still cannot login correctly with MSDN Forums (think infinite redirection sign in loop) so I am hoping for a post here that will help me.
I did contact a HealthVault developer on how to achieve this however the developer gave a suggestion that I don’t believe would be reliable (if I’m wrong let me know).
The developer’s suggestion was to do the following in code when you needed to connect to HealthVault, but prior to connecting:
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings[“ApplicationId”] = “[YOUR APP ID]”;
The problem is that this is a static property and I do see this as an issue as our web application will have different users accessing both HealthVault applications at the same time.
Does anyone have any suggestions to make 2 (or more) HealthVault ApplicationID’s work with one ASP.NET website? I’m looking for an effective and reliable way to do this.
There is a way to dynamically switch app ids on runtime. Both applications must be created, both certificates must be installed. Few things to keep in mind. For every authenticated connection, user will be granted a token (aka wctoken). This token is consumed when user is redirect back from Live ID (in case live id is used...) by your redirect.aspx page (assuming your redirect page inherits from HealthServiceActionPage.This means that everytime you switch applications, you must redirect user back to Live ID with new app id to receive new token.
Here is code sample that can be user to dynamically change settings:
public class ConfigurationManager : HealthWebApplicationConfiguration
{
private string appid;
public ConfigurationManager(string appid)
{
this.appid = appid;
}
public override Guid ApplicationId
{
get
{
return AppManager.Current.GetCurrentAppId(this.appid);
}
}
}
public class AppManager
{
private static readonly Object lck = new Object();
public Guid? App;
public static AppManager Current
{
get
{
AppManager mgr = null;
if (_current == null)
{
lock (lck)
{
mgr = new AppManager();
}
}
return mgr;
}
}
private static AppManager _current;
public Guid GetCurrentAppId(string id)
{
return new Guid(id);
}
}
Usage:
ConfigurationManager cm = new ConfigurationManager(your-app-id-here);
HealthWebApplicationConfiguration.Current = cm;
Help me solve next problem.
I have ASP .NET MVC2 application. I run it on IIS 7.5. In one page user clicks button and handler for this button sends request to server (jquery.ajax). At server action in controller starts new thread (it makes long time import):
var thread = new Thread(RefreshCitiesInDatabase);
thread.Start();
State of import is available in static variable. New thread changes value of variable in the begin of work.
User can check state of import too with the help of this variable, which is used in view. And user sees import's state.
When I start this function few minutes everything is okey. On page I see right state of import, quantity of imported records is changed, I see changes in logs. But after few minutes begin troubles.
When I refresh page with import state sometimes I see that import is okey but sometimes I see page with default values about import (like application is just started), but after that again I can see page with normal import's state.
I tried to attach Visual Studio to IIS process and debug application. But when request comes to controller sometimes static variables have right values and sometimes they have default values (static int has 0, static string has "" etc.).
Tell me what I do wrong. May be I must start additional thread in other way?
Thanks in advance,
Dmitry
I add parts of code:
Controller:
public class ImportCitiesController : Controller
{
[Dependency]
public SaveCities SaveCities { get; set; }
//Start import
public JsonResult StartCitiesImport()
{
//Methos in core dll, which makes import
SaveCities.StartCitiesSaving();
return Json("ok");
}
//Get Information about import
public ActionResult GetImportState()
{
var model = new ImportCityStatusModel
{ NowImportProcessing = SaveCities.CitiesSaving };
return View(model);
}
}
Class in Core:
public class SaveCities
{
// Property equals true, when program are saving to database
public static bool CitiesSaving = false;
public void StartCitiesSaving()
{
var thread = new Thread(RefreshCitiesInDatabase);
thread.Start();
}
private static void RefreshCitiesInDatabase()
{
CitiesSaving = true;
//Processing......
CitiesSaving = false;
}
}
UPDATE
I think, I found problem, but still I don't know how solve it. My IIS uses application pool with parameter "Maximum Worker Processes" = 10. And all tasks in application are handled by few processes. And my request to controll about import's state always is handled by different processes. And they have different static variables. I guess it is right way for solving.
But I don't know how merge all static values in one place.
Without looking at the code, here are the obvious question. Are you sure your access is thread safe (that is do you properly use lock to update you value or even access it => C# thread safety with get/set) ?
A code sample could be nice.
thanks for the code, it seem that CitiesSaving is not locked properly before read/write you should hide the instance variable behind a property to handle all the locking. Marking this field as volatile could also help (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa645755(v=vs.71).aspx )
