N2 MVC Add-on: Ajax Subscribe Form
Customized subscribe form, which you can place on any existing page of your website based on N2.
The list of the add-on features includes:
- Ajax implementation based on MicrosoftMvcAjax.js.
- Add-on compatible with both versions of MVC 1.0 and 2.0
- Easy installation and use.
- Implementing validations by empty fields, incorrect email(no '@' or '.'), duplicates of an existing (already subscribed) email address.
- All Subscribe Form fields are editable by N2CMS for each page separately.
- Simple Css styling is already implemented, so it can be used as is.
- Implemented storing information about newsletters under 'StartPage' of site;
but if needed it's easy to extend storing process (to separated table, etc).
This procedure will instruct how to use ajax form from this add-on.
. First unrar to 'siteroot\\addons\\' folder, then create a reference to 'AjaxSubcribeFormAddon1.5.dll' or 'AjaxSubcribeFormAddon2.0.dll' according to the version of your N2 website.
. Then, at the Global.asax.cs register the controller's assembly from this add-on:
- find such line of code - engine.RegisterControllers(typeof (HomeController).Assembly);
- under it add the registration of an add-on assembly -
engine.RegisterControllers(typeof (HomeController).Assembly);
engine.RegisterControllers(typeof(N2.Addons.AjaxSubcribeFormAddon.Controllers.NewsletterController).Assembly);
*- or for an older version (1.5, etc) :
container.RegisterControllers(typeof(HomeController).Assembly);
container.RegisterControllers(typeof(N2.Addons.AjaxSubcribeFormAddon.Controllers.NewsletterController).Assembly);
. according to the version of your N2 website check version of web.config file under '\\Addons\\AjaxSubcribeFormAddon\\UI\\'. (web1.5.config - MVC 1.0 and web2.0.config - MVC 2.0);
. Then you only need to copy the following code and place it on your pages(parts) classes and views and customize it a little bit according to your purposes.
- add such property under LanguageRoot, AbstractContentPage, or any other...
public class LanguageRoot : AbstractContentPage, IStructuralPage, Ilanguage
.
[EditableItem("NewsletterDisplay", 106)]
public virtual Newsletter Newsletter
{
get { return (Newsletter)GetDetail("NewsletterDisplay"); }
set { SetDetail("NewsletterDisplay", value); }
}
.
