I am trying to place an RSVP linkbutton on the EventDetail.ascx. It is not obvious to our users to look for the RSVP action under the module settings. I was not able to expose the URL wwwdev.eft.fiserv.net/EventCalendar/EventDetails/tabid/517/ctl/RSVP/mid/1126/ID/2/Default.aspx by using '<%# EditUrl("ID", Eval("EventID").ToString(), "RSVP") %>' . Can someone assist with the correct syntax to expose the RSVP URL?

Thanks in advance

Dan

Thanks for your response Rodney. Yes I did see the post you are referring to, I tried to extract the RSVP URL to the page by adding the following:

asp:Hyperlink id="linkRSVP" runat="server" NavigateURL='<%# DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.NavigateURL(PortalSettings.ActiveTab.TabID, "RSVP", "mID=" + ModuleId.ToString() , "ID=" + Eval("EventID").ToString()) %>' resourcekey="RSVP.Action" /> 

But I am unable to get the NavigateURL to write the address out. I then tried to extract the module RSVP Action button to the page by adding

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONS" Src="~/Admin/Containers/SolPartActions.ascx" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON2" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>

But could not just extract the RSVP, I would rather not create a new container just for this module.

I actually tried the editUrl and eventID that throw an error (The name 'eventID' does not exist in the current context).

Error: Event Details is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: f:\WebSites\FiservEFTIntranetPortal\DesktopModules\Smart-Thinker - Events\EventDetail.ascx(121): error CS0103: The name 'eventID' does not exist in the current context ---> System.Web.HttpCompileException: f:\WebSites\FiservEFTIntranetPortal\DesktopModules\Smart-Thinker - Events\EventDetail.ascx(121): error CS0103: The name 'eventID' does not exist in the current context at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.CompileWebFile(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithNoAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(String virtualPath) at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin.InjectModule(Control objPane, ModuleInfo objModule, PortalSettings PortalSettings) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

What is the syntax (CommandName etc...) to expose the rsvp link from the setting menu using the ActionButton?

You can only use evenID if you have declared it as a variable and it ha sa value by the time you use it (it is set in the LoadEventDetails method).

"What is the syntax (CommandName etc...) to expose the rsvp link from the setting menu using the ActionButton?" - I am not sure what you mean by this but the code to generate the ModuleAction is the same as the one I put above - eg.

actions.Add(GetNextActionID(), Localization.GetString("RSVP.Action", LocalResourceFile), ModuleActionType.AddContent, "", "", EditUrl("ID", eventID.ToString(), "RSVP"), false, SecurityAccessLevel.Edit, true, false);

Well the fact that we are running 3.6 and I only have the source code for 3.5 is an issue considering we purchased your product. I would expect that when a new version is posted, source code should be included. As to your statement "you are not sure why it would help me" do you recall your response to my feature request on the RSVP button on the event detail page.

At 12/02/2008 16:01 a comment was posted to a suggestion you are tracking:- RSVP Button on Event Detail Page.

Yes, this will be implemented as a Token in a future version (the next big version is detail templating, and I want to get this in the version after that)

I assumed it would be in the next version, guess I misinterpreted you response. If I had the current source I would code the enhancement myself.

Thanks

First off when I recompiled 3.5 source there is a mismatch with the other 3.6 libraries which throws and error. So I had to resort to using in line code in the ascx and accessing the page variables in-line is different then code behind from what I have experienced. Seems to be a timing issue because the moduleId always returns -1, That is the only part of the URL I am missing. The EditUrl returns -1 for the moduleID also that is why I resorted to using the NavigateURL . I am only considering hard-coding as a temporary solution due to the module is only installed on the main portal. I only have the moduleID left to complete the work, so If you have any suggestions it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Rodney,

I've been trying to do the same thing: Putting a RSVP button on EventDetails.ascx....

I copy the following code from: EventInvitesEdit.ascx
asp:Hyperlink id="linkRSVP" runat="server" Text='RSVP' ImageUrl='<%# ResolveUrl("Images/RSVP.gif") %>' Tooltip="Click here to change this RSVP" NavigateURL='<%# DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.NavigateURL(this.TabId, "RSVP", "MID=" + this.ModuleId.ToString(), "ID=" + DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.EventID").ToString(), "UserID=" + DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.UserID").ToString()) %>' />

And pasted it in EventDetail.ascx
Result: <a id="dnn_ctr554_EventDetail_linkRSVP" title="Click here to change this RSVP">RSVP</a> which without href link on view page.

EventsView.ascx (Same Code that you've mention in this post)
asp:Hyperlink id="linkJoin" runat="server" NavigateURL='<%# DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.NavigateURL(eventDetailTabID, "RSVP", "mID=" + eventRSVPModuleID.ToString() , "ID=" + Eval("EventID").ToString()) %>' resourcekey="RSVPJoin.Text" Visible='<%# (Eval("EventRSVPID").ToString() == String.Empty) %>' />

The result is: An error has occurred.
Error: Event Details is currently unavailable. when viewing the Event's detail.

I've also tried this:
asp:Hyperlink id="linkRSVP" runat="server" NavigateURL='EditUrl("ID", eventID.ToString(), "RSVP")' resourcekey="RSVP.Action" /> 
but the result is: <a id="dnn_ctr554_EventDetail_linkRSVP">RSVP</a> which without href link also.

Is there any simple way to do it?

My situation: I was not able to use [LinkActions] action button as it has bug in DNN 4.9, (I've reported in Gemini and it has fixed in DNN rc2 lately)
(However, the [LinkActions] does show the RSVP link)

I've seen the PokerDIY RSVP button but that is custom action button right? How do I make one of that? using this:?
%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONBUTTON" Src="~/Admin/Containers/ActionButton.ascx" %>

If so, what should it be in ????:
dnn:ACTIONBUTTON runat="server" id="dnnACTIONBUTTON"  CommandName="?????????" DisplayIcon="True" DisplayLink="false" />

Thank in advance...

George
