Create your own BaseAction
Smartsite 7.8 - ...
When you need to create an action which is not anything like a DataEditor action, and requires a little more then simply embedding an application page, you should create a custom action which inherits from the abstract class Smartsite.Manager.BaseAction.
BaseAction
A BaseAction is the most basic type that can be used to create an action. Just implement the Execute method and build the html result as needed, see the example below.

Copy Code

|---|---|
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Linq;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.Text;
using System.Web;
using System.Xml.Linq;
namespace Smartsite.Manager.Actions
{
internal class SmartsiteFeedback : BaseAction
{
/// <summary>
/// Constructor
/// </summary>
internal SmartsiteFeedback()
{ }
public override ActionResult Execute(MgrContext context)
{
if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Form["action"] == "close")
return ActionResult.CloseAction();
string html = FormParser.LoadForm("Smartsite.Manager.Source.Actions.SmartsiteFeedback.Center.xhtml");
context.Response.Layout[ThreeColumnLayout.CenterColumn] = html;
ButtonBar buttonBar = new ButtonBar();
buttonBar.Buttons.Add(new Button("close", Translations.GetString("CLOSE"), "icon_sys22 icon-sys22-cancel", true));
context.Response.Layout[ThreeColumnLayout.ButtonBar] = buttonBar.Render();
return ActionResult.ActionCompleted();
}
public override string GetTabIdentifier(MgrContext context)
{
return "SMARTSITEFEEDBACK";
}
}
}

The html is loaded from an embedded resource, containing the following html:
| HTML |
Copy Code
|
|---|---|
<div>
<h2>{text:FEEDBACK_TITLE}</h2>
<p>
{text:FEEDBACK_DESC}
</p>
<button name="action" value="openform" class="btn icon_sys22 icon-sys22-ahead" style="margin-top:24px;"
onclick="window.open('http://www.smartsite.nl/?id=SMARTSITE-MANAGER-FEEDBACK-FORM'); return false;">{text:FEEDBACK_BTN}</button>
</div>

The FormParser.LoadForm() method will load this embedded resource and will find and replace {text:localization_string} placeholders with the correct localized string value.
When rendering a BaseAction, the ThreeColumnLayout is used by default.
