Hi Hefin,

You have a couple of options using the IpublishedContent model:

Traverse by contentTypeAlias
Model.Content.Ancestor('Home").Url

Traverse by level
Model.Content.Ancestor(2).Url

I see that you are using a surface controller. Were you able to get the ModelState errors to bubble back up to your View (e.g. login errors)?

Hi Matt,

I don't seem to have the option of using Model.Content.Ancestor("Home").Url or Model.Content.Ancestor(2).Url - I imagine that this is because I'm using a custom model?  

public class MemberLoginModel
{
[Required, Display(Name = "Enter your username")]
public string Username { get; set; }
 
[Required, Display(Name = "Password"), DataType(DataType.Password)]
public string Password { get; set; }
 
[Display(Name = "Remember me")]
public bool RememberMe { get; set; }
} 

In answer to your question, yes I do get the ModelState errors bubble back to my view, I call the partial view of "_MemberLogin" like this:

@Html.Partial("_MemberLogin", new dpp.models.Shared.MemberLoginModel())

Would this also me contributing to my issue in getting hold of the current page in the controller?  

- Hefin

You can inherit from the RenderModel to gain access to the Content class.

publicclassMemberLoginModel : Umbraco.Web.Models.RenderModel
{
[Required,Display(Name="Enter your username")]
publicstringUsername{get;set;}
 
[Required,Display(Name="Password"),DataType(DataType.Password)]
publicstringPassword{get;set;}
 
[Display(Name="Remember me")]
publicboolRememberMe{get;set;}

public MemberLoginModel() : this(UmbracoContext.Current.PublishedContentRequest.PublishedContent) {}
public MemberLoginModel(IPublishedContent content) : base(content) {}

}

Hi Matt - still don't get the Model.Content.Ancestor("Home").Url or Model.Content.Ancestor(2).Url.  I'm doing this in the Surface Controller .... here is my code for the Surface Controller:

public class MemberLoginSurfaceController : SurfaceController
{
// The MemberLogin Action returns the view. it also instantiates a new, empty model for our view
[HttpGet]
[ActionName("MemberLogin")]
public ActionResult MemberLoginGet()
{
return PartialView("_MemberLogin", new MemberLoginModel());
}

// The MemberLogout Action signs out the user and redirects to the site homepage
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult MemberLogout()
{
Session.Clear();
FormsAuthentication.SignOut();
return Redirect("/");
}

// The MemberLoginPost checks the entered credentials using the standard ASP.NET membership provider and redirects the user to the same page
[HttpPost]
[ActionName("MemberLogin")]
public ActionResult MemberLoginPost(MemberLoginModel model)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
if (Membership.ValidateUser(model.Username, model.Password))
{
FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(model.Username, model.RememberMe);
return RedirectToUmbracoPage(Settings.LocalSettingsNode.GetPropertyValue("membersHomepage"));
}
else
{
ModelState.AddModelError("", "Login data is incorrect!");
}
}
return CurrentUmbracoPage();
}
}

And it's the MemberLogout() action where I'm trying to do the redirect.  So instead of having 

return Redirect("/");

I would like to do something like:

return RedirectToUmbracoPage()

But I can't seem to get it to work?

Hi Hefin,

It appears to be very difficult to get the Umbraco Context from your GET as your not on a page. Perhaps it would be easier to pivot slightly and pass a url parameter to your get and redirect to that url after SignOut.

is working on a reply...
