I have an controller where I have two standard ActionResults that concerns the scenario: Index and Details In details I check various conditions about the user identity and I check for an existing amount of credits available in his profile. If all criteria are meet I redirect to Details view, and update/add some records . What I want is that before the effective redirection (and of course update/add process) to fire an notification (something like: "Hey user X, you have xx credits and for completing you will consume yy credits. Are you sure that you want to continue y/n"). If no stay on current Index View, if yes go to Details view and in Details ActionResult do all the update/insert stuff. In Index view I use standard ActionLink to navigate to Detail View:
@Html.ActionLink(" View this Candidate details ...", "Details", "Candidates", new { id = item.IdCV }, new { @class = "btn btn-default fa fa-link" })
and the action Details in controller is :
// GET: Candidates/Details/5
// Restrict by role:
//[Authorize(Roles = "Admin, Candidate, Employer")]
public ActionResult Details(int? id)
{
if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
//obtaining the user profile info
var jobs = new Jobs();
var currentuser = User.Identity.GetUserId();//UserManager.FindById(User.Identity.GetUserId());
JobShopEntities db = new JobShopEntities();
var TheUser = db.AspNetUsers.Where(u => u.Id == currentuser)
.Select(u => new
{
ID = u.Id,
Email = u.Email,
Username = u.UserName,
Surrname = u.Surname,
Name = u.Name,
Role = u.Role,
CreditBalance = u.CreditBalance
}).Single();
var idul = TheUser.ID;
var username = TheUser.Username;
var name = TheUser.Name;
var surrname = TheUser.Surrname;
var credit = TheUser.CreditBalance;
var CreditUsed = 5;
var NewCredit = credit - CreditUsed; //This value I want to update in AspNetUsers.CreditBalance field
var role = TheUser.Role;
var operatia = "Display CV detail";
int? cvul = id;
int? jobul = null;
//testing the user
if (role == 3)
{
//if role is ok, testing the credit balance
if (credit > 10)
{
if (id == null)
{
return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest);
}
Candidate candidate = db.Candidate.Find(id);
if (candidate == null)
{
return HttpNotFound();
}
//update credits in AspNetUsers.CreditBalance
UpdateCredit(idul, username, NewCredit);
//save in audit journal CreditJournal.CreditsUsed
SaveAudit(operatia, idul, cvul, jobul, CreditUsed);
return View(candidate);
}
else
{
//redirect to something
return RedirectToAction("NoCredit", "Jobs");
}
}
else
{
return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
}
}
else
{
return RedirectToAction("Login", "Account");
}
}
The update and insert methods that are concerned are:
UpdateCredit(idul, username, NewCredit);
and:
SaveAudit(operatia, idul, cvul, jobul, CreditUsed);
Also I have a similar demand before entering a Create View from main menu:
@Html.ActionLink("Add a new Job", "New", "Jobs")
Here also I check for (nearly) same conditions in New ActionResult (OK, here are the two flavors of ActionResult: New() and [HttpPost] New() )
L.E.
Finally I found a simple way that it works but with some issues:
@Html.ActionLink(" Detalii ...", "Details", "Candidates", new { id = item.IdCV }, new { onclick="return confirm('For viewing candidate details you will consume 5 credits from x available!
Do you want to continue??')", @class = "btn btn-default fa fa-link" })
respectively
@Html.ActionLink("New Job", "New", "Jobs", new { onclick="return confirm('For adding a new job you will consume 5 credits from x available!
Do you want to continue?')"})
For both I want a way for formatting the message (for example the
that I inserted, have no effect) and to inject in message text values for credit as they are in Controller.
Anyway the first example works, but the second has an issue: the link is modified with an parameter (for a not know reason) from:
http://localhost:23442/Jobs/New
to:
