Themes, Skins, and Masters

Hi. I am having trouble grasping the concept of applying a consistent
theme to an ASP.net website. I didn't used to like ASP because it was
too hard to apply a theme from a common theme folder like I could do
easily in PHP, but now I see that it has some nicer theming features
and master files.
So I want to use web.config to switch which theme I'm using, and I
want to be able to have several themes. My understanding of themes is
that I can only define styling in them as I could with CSS, but I
can't define code for the header, footer, etc with them. And that's
where master files come in, right? I'd like to switch which set of
master files is in use as the theme changes. IE, I'd like to put
several master pages that match in looks but have different functions
in each theme's folder along with the skins. But I don't think that it
will automatically switch to those masters when the theme is switched
in web.config. Can I use a variable in the <%@dotnet.itags.org. Page
MasterPageFile="... part? Specifically, can I include Page.Theme into
the middle of a path, like:
<%@dotnet.itags.org. Page MasterPageFile="App_Themes/{Page.Theme}/m1.master" %>
I can't make the themes very varied if all I can edit is the skins and
they all have the same xHTML code.
Also, what is the difference between global themes in the /Themes/
directory and page themes in the /App_Themes/ directory?
So is this possible? Or am I thinking along the wrong lines to do such
a thing?
-Mike PIIBriefly, we use the Page_PreInit event handler to change Themes and
MasterPages noting K. Scott Allen has documented the most helpful
information regarding this topic at http://odetocode.com/ but if you want to
master ASP.NET you need to delve into the page life cycle and learn it well
as it is fundamental to this and related tasks.
When using MasterPages you will also need to learn how to reference controls
which can be and is somewhat convoluted when using the FindControl method.
Try to get the hang of writing public properties to avoid using FindControl
when possible.

Thanks for your help. I finally got it down.

Theory : How to implement an afilliate program website.

I have a website, and I want that when someone comes from an affilliate and buy something in my site, automatically generate a comission to the affiliate.

I would like to know if anyone know any documents, articles or source code to study a little in order to implement this.

Just to say that I'm a ASP.NET newbie with few "navigation hours".

Thank you.regardless of asp.net, you can use several methodologies to incorporate affilliate tracking. The best one (in my opinion) would be to simply track the affilliate by passing around their value in the querystring (ie: mysite.com/page.aspx?aff=2343444)

Then you can look for this number -- say when a user submits a form to purchase an item.
OK. I'll avoid any discussion around more complex methods of handling the same functionality, and describe in terms of pages, session etc.

How about:

- Create an incoming page that can decode an incoming affiliate request.
e.g. http://www.mysite.com/affprogramme.aspx?affid=<insert id here>&sku=<product id here>
The page will:
- Set the session to the affiliate id, which is then recorded when items are placed in the cart.
- Redirect the incoming request to the appropriate product.

Then, when an order is placed, it's easy to pull a report based on affiliate purchases.

Be aware that this is open to abuse for click through payments.

Anyway, it's a start of a more refined solution.

Hope it helps,
Why not just pass the affiliate id in the querystring as opposed to keeping it in a session? Im asking because 90+% may not order, so why even look at that value until an order has been placed? (unless you want to track each page, even then why not just use the querystring.)

although I'm not that stingy with Sessions, imagine 50,000 users going to your site on a good month.

Either way both methods would work (just putting in my .02)
Thank you all for your "opinion" :

Question :
It is best to save the affiliate ID code in the cookie ?

Why ? Because if the user have been redirected to my page trough an affilliate link, and want to become later to buy something , he will type my direct address (www.mysite.com) without the affiliate link. I think I should know (remember) what affiliate have indicated my webpage.

What you think about this ?

Thank you.
Good point! But what if the user does not accept cookies?

hmmm... always something to think about.

I think the best way would be:

- Persist to cookie if user accepts cookie
- Use QueryString if not

if user does not accept cookies and goes back to the site by typing the url directly the affiliate would not get paid... hmmmm.
I should use both I think :

I should use the :
www.mysite.com/affiliates.aspx?affid=<insert id here
And use this affid to fill the cookie.

If the user don't accept cookies ... the affiliate don't win a comission ... sound right or not ?
Well, this could be a commercial issue.
What defines an affiliate 'sale'? Is it if a purchase is made from your site in the next session, 20 days, 30 days and so on.
This is what defines the use of cookies and the like.
The page will not sell products, will sell services.

Possible customers can bought the service now, today, next month or never. If he buy the service, until he's an active customer the "affiliate" will win comission of sale.

This is important to keep the affiliate information much time as possible.

What do you think ?
Technically, I think it's fine.
Commercially, I think that's a pretty good deal for your affiliates.

Cheers,
Commercially is a great deal for me too.
Imagine ... you will have a "free" comercial team.

Don't have problem paing 10% of comission to anyone that gives me a new customer (the rest of the profit is all mine). In this mode it is more simple to anunce my services. Just to say that the customer pay monthly for the service ... the affiliate will won the comission montly too.

Thank you all for your technical help.
Don't use affiliate.aspx?affiliateID=XXXX

If I find a link like that I'll manually go out of my way to simply type in the main URL into another window without the affiliate info.

However if it were something less obscure such as in.aspx?in=XXXX I don't know if it's an affiliate in link or simply a link exchange hit counter or a redirect so I'll just click and leave it.
Jake,

Thank you for you nice idea. I allways do the same but forget that detail.

Best regards,
also you could always:

1.) Create the link with the reseller Id in the page name (without having to create the page)..

ie: www.myDomain.com/res1233.aspx

Then create a custom handler to convert the res1233.aspx to an actual page (from the ASP.NET pipeline) while capturing the affiliate reference at the same time.

:-)
Although technically since you will be the owner of the affiliate program if people did what I do (just type in the base URL without affiliate code) it would benefit you as you wouldn't be paying out any commissions on those sales..

Third-Part Cookies blocked by IE

Hi guys,

we are developing a webapplication which let user create their own
virtual website on their real domain.
in other word, users could create their virtual web-sites by this
application and app will recognize each website
by its domain.

we needed a passport system (like .Net Passport) to identify users in
all of these virtual web-sites (& various domains)
we build this system upon third-party cookies by making request from
each site to passportserver using import script tags.

now the problem is : IE 6.0, 7.0 won't let the web-applciation to
create thirdparty cookies by default and users have to add passport
server domain to TrustedZone,i heared that p3p could solve this
problem but id don't know how !? should we register our domains in
some database ? is it free ?

Thanks in advanceHi,

We only have this problem with IIS 6.0.

We configure the p3p.xml and the p3pconfig.xml correctly in the root
domain of our server.
We configured the P3P in the application begin request in
global.asax :
Context.Response.AddHeader("P3P", @."CP=""CAO PSA OUR""");

But the problem persist we have no solution, please tell me if you
find one.

Thanks,
Johnny

Hi Everybody,

The HTTP HEADERS were remove by IIS 6.0.

To solve the problem go to :
1) Properties on the web root
2) Click HTTP HEADERS tab
3) Custom Headers panel
4) Click Add...
Key : P3P
Value : CP="CAO PSA OUR"

Hope that will help some one.

Well, I am doing it same way you did on my site
Response.AddHeader("P3P", @."CP=\"CAO PSA OUR\"");

And nothing gets removed by IIS. I have IIS 6.0 on Win2003

I was a bit confused when you said it's not working but had no idea why. You
can download tool called fiddler (www.fiddlertool.com/ )
This is Microsoft tool to spy on browser requests and watch what is actually
your server sends to browser (or vise versa)

Third-party BLOG app to use in ASP.NET website?

I want to have a BLOG in my ASP.NET website. Are there third-party
apps/plug-ins already out there? If so, can someone recommend the top few
for .NET? Is there an app from Microsoft more specific/integrated with an
ASP.NET app?

Thanks very much,

Nice of you to point that out. Visiting the ThinkJot page inferred an
orphaned initiative and AFIK dasBlog continues to be developed by what's his
name [1]. The point is, the objective many have on their minds is how to
integrate blogging functionality into an existing site.

Third-party BLOG app to use in ASP.NET website?

I want to have a BLOG in my ASP.NET website. Are there third-party
apps/plug-ins already out there? If so, can someone recommend the top few
for .NET? Is there an app from Microsoft more specific/integrated with an
ASP.NET app?
Thanks very much,

Third-Part Cookies blocked by IE

Hi guys,
we are developing a webapplication which let user create their own
virtual website on their real domain.
in other word, users could create their virtual web-sites by this
application and app will recognize each website
by its domain.
we needed a passport system (like .Net Passport) to identify users in
all of these virtual web-sites (& various domains)
we build this system upon third-party cookies by making request from
each site to passportserver using import script tags.
now the problem is : IE 6.0, 7.0 won't let the web-applciation to
create thirdparty cookies by default and users have to add passport
server domain to TrustedZone,i heared that p3p could solve this
problem but id don't know how !? should we register our domains in
some database ? is it free ?
Thanks in advanceHi,
We only have this problem with IIS 6.0.
We configure the p3p.xml and the p3pconfig.xml correctly in the root
domain of our server.
We configured the P3P in the application begin request in
global.asax :
Context.Response.AddHeader("P3P", @."CP=3D""CAO PSA OUR""");
But the problem persist we have no solution, please tell me if you
find one.
Thanks,
Johnny

Hi Everybody,
The HTTP HEADERS were remove by IIS 6.0.
To solve the problem go to :
1) Properties on the web root
2) Click HTTP HEADERS tab
3) Custom Headers panel
4) Click Add...
Key : P3P
Value : CP=3D"CAO PSA OUR"
Hope that will help some one.

Well, I am doing it same way you did on my site
Response.AddHeader("P3P", @."CP=\"CAO PSA OUR\"");
And nothing gets removed by IIS. I have IIS 6.0 on Win2003
I was a bit when you said it's not working but had no idea why. You
can download tool called fiddler (www.fiddlertool.com/ )
This is Microsoft tool to spy on browser requests and watch what is actually
your server sends to browser (or vise versa)

This Object in Javascript Causes Error

All,

I'm developing an website using ASP .NET. I have developed a menu
structure based on JavaScript. This JavaScript file is called by an
UserControl to generate the menus.

It works fine for the WebPage that lies in the same folder. But when i
use the same control in another page (another directory) it's not
working property. It shows an error "Object Required".

The statement is as given below,

this.css= "/scripts/intranet.css"
Also I'm not able to access the document object from Javascript.

TIAI think the problem is with the following statement,

this.css=
bw.dom?document.getElementById(obj).style:bw.ie4?d ocument.all[obj].style:bw.ns4?eval(nest+"document.layers."
+obj):0;

This statement set css value based on the Browser type. Is there any
problem in declaration?

This type of page is not served.

I am beginning to create my first .net website and am running into a problem. Google provided little help. I tried to access an .asp file within one of my subfolders and am receiving the following error:

This type of page is not served.

Description: The type of page you have requested is not served because it has been explicitly forbidden. The extension '.asp' may be incorrect. Please review the URL below and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Is it possible to change the web.config or machine.config file to allow access to an .asp page? I'm new to .Net 2.0.

Thanks!

Hi,

do you use windows server 2003 in combination with IIS6? If so you need to know that IIS6, by default, has the settings set to off for serving ASP.NET or classic ASP pages.

Besides that, ASP.NET webforms need to have the extension .aspx, not .asp. This is needed to have IIS use the correct ISAPI filters.

Grz, Kris.

Yes, I'm on a win2003 server with IIS 6. What I'm basically trying to accomplish is create a 2.0 login system to replace our current system. We currently have a lot of sites written in classic asp and a few newer sites written in .NET 2.0. So what I have done is set up a test and everything works well, until I try to access an .asp page inside of one of our sites. I know that webforms need the .aspx extension, but am unsure of how to configure ISAPI or httphandlers to allow the execution of .asp pages. A general diagram of our system is below:

Our_Portal -- main folder, has 2.0 login features with links to the following subfolders/sites

Site_A -- .NET 2.0 site

Site_B -- classic ASP

Site_C -- classic ASP

When I try to access sites B and C, I get the "cannot serve pages" error. Is this more clear?

Thoughts about using Session variables for login security?

I am creating a simple website with a login page and some "admin only"
pages.
In my login page's submit button I just say if the "password is correct"
then...
session("IsAdmin") = True
In my admin only pages I check if session("IsAdmin") = True
If it's NOT then I redirect them to the login.aspx page.
Is this solution pretty solid, or is it easy to hack? I keep the password
in the web.config appsettings section so it's easy to change.
I know I could use Membership stuff, but I'm just doing a simple, quick
website.
Your thoughts are appreciated!Hello Bobby,

Membership is there, membership is quick and membership works out of the
box from the web.config if you need it to.
My experience is that this quick and simple website will run for the coming
20 years and that every time you need to change somthing you hoped you did
it the right way first time round...

I've done the same thing in the past. There is one and only quesion
you need to ask: "is this doing what I need it to?" From your post the
answer is "yes," so you're good. But I see you're asking "is it easy
to hack?"
And the answer is a resounding "no." Session variables are stored in
the server's memory. In order to access them a hacker would need to
hack the server itself and gain access to it's memory. If that
happens, having them view your session variables would be the very
least of your concerns.

I'd look at Jesse's recommendation about using the built-in membership
system in ASP.Net 2.0 if you really want to have some flexibility. You can
then use Roles to manage your users. For administrators, you can create an
Admin role and assign the users to that role. Then all you have to do is
test if the user is in that role. Actually, better yet, you can set the
authorization section of the web.config file so that only certain users or
roles have access to particular files or folders. This let's you tweak
security in a config file without worrying about coding it in every single
page.
Hope this helps,

Thrash my site

Note: "Thrash" not "Trash" :-)
I've developed a website, the purpose of writing this site was to test a
Model Driven Architecture type approach.
http://www.howtodothings.com
I'm not sure how well this approach stands up to high-demand. I thought I'd
ask in here if as many people as possible could just flick through some
categories, pull up some articles, etc.
Now that I think of it though this is a bit of a crappy way to test it, no
co-ordination of the demand. In which case, what is a good way to stress
test a website?
Thanks
Pete

Its a good tool for testing websites, it requires java runtime environment
since its written in java, but it can test ASP pages just fine.

If you're using IIS5.x, you can use WAST
( Web Application Stress Tool ) :

If you're using IIS 6.0, you can use the
Web Capacity Analysis Tool Version 5.2,
included in the IIS 6.0 Resource Kit:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en
Both tools do a bangup job of simulating multiple
browsers requesting pages from a web site
