If statement for cookie - WebMatrix/Razor - cookies

I have set a cookie that I want to use to populate a form, so that users don't need to keep filling out the same form (it's submitting an inquiry to owners of holiday villas).
I've got it working fine if the cookie is already set, but it errors out if there is no cookie set.
I'm guessing I'll need to use an "if" statement, but don't quite know how to write the code.
Here is the code that sets the cookie...
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqName"] = Request["BookingReqName"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqEmail"] = Request["BookingReqEmail"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqPhone"] = Request["BookingReqPhone"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["NumAdults"] = Request["BookingNumAdults"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["NumChildren"] = Request["BookingNumChildren"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqMessage"] = Request["BookingReqMessage"];
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"].Expires = DateTime.Now.AddHours(4);
}
Here are the variables that collect info from the cookie...
var reqname = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqName"];
var reqemail = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqEmail"];
var reqphone = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqPhone"];
var numadults = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["NumAdults"];
var numchildren = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["NumChildren"];
var reqmessage = Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqMessage"];
and here is a sample input from the form...
<label>Name</label>
<input type="text" name="BookingReqName" id="BookingReqName" placeholder="full name…" value="#reqname">

In WebMatrix C#.net, I think you are looking for something like this:
if(Request["BookingReqName"] != null)
{
Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqName"] = Request["BookingReqName"];
}
else
{
Response.Cookies["BookingReqName"] = ""; //<--Whatever default value you want (I've used an empty string here, so you, at least, won't get a null reference error).
}
Or you can use the same code as a one liner (to not clutter up your code, however this will decrease readability, obv.).
if(Request["BookingReqName"] != null){Response.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"]["ReqName"] = Request["BookingReqName"];}else{Response.Cookies["BookingReqName"] = ""; //<--Whatever default value you want (I've used an empty string here, so you, at least, won't get a null reference error).}
You'll just have to do that for all of your lines requesting cookie values.
The point is, though, that anything can go in the "else" block that helps you handle what to do when the cookie values have been cleared/expired (which you must always expect). You could redirect to a page that requests information from the user to reset any "forgotten" configurations, or, if you want to persist the data no matter what, consider storing these values in a database, instead, as those values won't clear/expire.
One last thing, if this doesn't help:
If you find yourself wondering what value to store in the cookie (the default value you wish to specify), because you need to know, right then and there, what it was supposed to have remembered, then I am afraid it is time to reconsider how you have structured the flow of data.
Sorry, but I have done that, once upon a time, only with Session variables, and it wasn't pretty :)
If you need any help with the best way(s) to transfer data between web pages, check this very helpful, concise link from Mike Brind's website: http://www.mikesdotnetting.com/Article/192/Transferring-Data-Between-ASP.NET-Web-Pages

It should just be the following
if(Request.Cookies["BookingEnquiry"] == null)
{
return; // <- if BookingEnquiry is null we end this routine
}
// Normal code flow here...
or something similar

I m inserting my data uthrough page item using request process it gives an error fetch more then one row please give me a solution

var a = $v('P1995_LUMBER');
if ((a = '1')) {
apex.submit({
request: "CREATE",
set: {
LUMBER: "P1995_LUMBER",
LST_NME: "P1995_LST_NME",
FST_NME: "P1995_FST_NME",
},
});
} else if (a != '1') {
apex.submit({
request: "Update",
set: {
LUMBER: "P1995_LUMBER",
LST_NME: "P1995_LST_NME",
FST_NME: "P1995_FST_NME",
},
});
} else {
alert("bang bang");
}
Couple of things:
JavaScript's equality check is either == or === (more details here). (a = '1') assign '1' to the variable.
It seems like you're not using the apex.submit process correctly. Typically, you would set the item's value
e.g.:
apex.page.submit({
request: "SAVE",
set: {
"P1_DEPTNO": 10,
"P1_EMPNO": 5433
}
} );
Although, by looking at your JavaScript code, I would say you don't even need to use JavaScript.
Whenever you submit a page, all items on it are automatically sent to the server-side. You can then reference them using bind variables. You could then simply have two process, one for the Create and one for the Update, each having the corresponding insert/update statement using the different items on your page.
Usually what you will see is a page with two buttons for Create/Edit. They will have a server-side condition so that only the correct one is displayed.
Try creating a Form type page (form with report) using the wizard, and you'll see how everything is done.
Without seeing the page and the code you're using it's hard to tell what your issue really is, more details would be required.
That code does not have any sql in it so it is impossible to diagnose why you are encountering a TOO_MANY_ROWS exception. Run the page in debug mode and check the debug data - it should show you what statement is throwing the exception. If you need more help, post a proper reproducible case, not a single snipped of code without any context.

Adding a cookie to DocumentRequest

Using AngleSharp v 0.9.9, I'm loading a page with OpenAsync which sets a bunch of cookies, something like:
var configuration = Configuration.Default.WithHttpClientRequester().WithCookies();
var currentContext = BrowsingContext.New(configuration);
// ....
var doc = context.OpenAsync(url, token);
This works fine and I can see the cookies have been set. For example, I can do this:
var cookieProvider = currentContext.Configuration.Services.OfType<ICookieProvider>().First() as MemoryCookieProvider;
And examine it in the debugger and see the cookies in there (for domain=.share.state.nm.us)
Then I need to submit a post:
var request = new DocumentRequest(postUrl);
request.Method = HttpMethod.Post;
request.Headers["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
request.Headers["User-Agent"] = userAgent;
//...
Which eventually gets submitted:
var download = loader.DownloadAsync(request);
And I can see (using Fiddler) that it's submitting the cookies from the cookieProvider.
However, I need to add a cookie (and possible change the value in another) and no matter what I try, it doesn't seem to include it. For example, I do this:
cookieProvider.Container.Add(new System.Net.Cookie()
{
Domain = ".share.state.nm.us",
Name = "psback",
Value = "somevalue",
Path = "/"
});
And again I can examine the cookieProvider in the debugger and see the cookie I set. But when I actually submit the request and look in fiddler, the new cookie isn't included.
This seems like it should be really simple, what is the correct way to set a new cookie and have it included in subsequent requests?
I think there are two potential ways to solve this.
either use document.Cookie for setting a new cookie (would require an active document that already is at the desired domain) or
Use a Filter for getting / manipulating the request before its send. This let's you really just change the used cookie container before actually submitting.
The Filter is set in the DefaultLoader configuration. See https://github.com/AngleSharp/AngleSharp/blob/master/src/AngleSharp/ConfigurationExtensions.cs#L152.

Locking script when accessing spreadsheet doesnot work

My problem is how to ensure that no data will be lost while concurrent access.
I have script published as web-app. I want to add new row to DATA_SHEET. The function that handles submit button looks like this:
function onButtonSubmit(e) {
var app = UiApp.getActiveApplication();
var lock = LockService.getPublicLock();
while (! lock.tryLock(1000))
;
var ssheet = SpreadsheetApp.openById(SHEET_ID);
var sheet = ssheet.getSheetByName(DATA_SHEET);
var lastRow = sheet.getLastRow();
var lastCol = sheet.getLastColumn();
var rangeToInsert = sheet.getRange(lastRow+1, 1, 1, lastCol);
var statText = rangeToInsert.getA1Notation();
rangeToInsert.setValues(<some data from webapp form>);
app.getElementById('statusLabel').setText(statText);
lock.releaseLock();
return app;
}
But it seems that this does not work. When I open two forms and click submit button within one second, it shows same range in statsLabel and writes data into same range. So I lose data from one form.
What is wrong with this code? It seems like tryLock() does not block script.
Is there any other way how to prevent concurrent write access to sheet?
It might be worth taking a look at appendRow(), rather than using getLastRow()/setValues() etc.
Allows for atomic appending of a row to a spreadsheet; can be used
safely even when multiple instances of the script are running at the
same time. Previously, one would have to call getLastRow(), then write
to that row. But if two invocations of the script were running at the
same time, they might both read the same value for getLastRow(), and
then overwrite each other's values.
while (! lock.tryLock(1000))
;
seems a bit hinky. Try this instead:
if (lock.tryLock(30000)) {
// I got the lock! Wo000t!!!11 Do whatever I was going to do!
} else {
// I couldn’t get the lock, now for plan B :(
GmailApp.sendEmail(“admin#example.com”, “epic fail”,
“lock acquisition fail!”);
}
http://googleappsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2011/10/concurrency-and-google-apps-script.html
You must insert this code when using getLastRow()/setValues() with lock.
SpreadsheetApp.flush();
// before
lock.releaseLock();

output variable stored in database

I'm storing the page content in a database table. The page content also includes some CF variables (for example "...this vendor provides services to #VARIABLES.vendorLocale#").
VARIABLES.vendorLocal is set on the page based on a URL string.
Next a CFC is accessed to get the corresponding page text from the database.
And this is then output on the page: #qryPageContent.c_content#
But #VARIABLES.vendorLocale# is showing up as is, not as the actual variable. Is there anyway to get a "variable within a variable" to be output correctly?
This is on a CF9 server.
If you have a string i.e.
variables.vendorLocal = 'foo';
variables.saveMe = 'This is a string for supplier "#variables.vendorLocal#'"' ;
WriteOutput(variables.saveMe); // This is a string for locale "foo"
then coldfusion will attempt to parse that to insert whatever variable variables.vendorLocale is. To get around this, you can use a placeholder string that is not likely to be used elsewhere. Commonly you'll see [[NAME]] used for this purpose, so in this example
variables.saveMe = 'This is a string for supplier "[[VENDORLOCALE]]'"' ;
WriteOutput(variables.saveMe); // This is a string for supplier "[[VENDORLOCALE]]"
Now you've got that you can then later on replace it for your value
variables.vendorLocal = 'bar';
variables.loadedString = Replace(variables.saveMe,'[[VENDORLOCALE]]',variables.vendorLocal);
WriteOutput(variables.loadedString); // This is a string for locale "bar"
I hope this is of help
There are lots of reasons storing code itself in the database is a bad idea, but that's not your question, so I won't go into that. One way to accomplish what you want is to take the code you have stored as as string, write a temporary file, include that file in the page, then delete that temporary file. For instance, here's a little UDF that implements that concept:
<cfscript>
function dynamicInclude(cfmlcode){
var pathToInclude = createUUID() & ".cfm";
var pathToWrite = expandPath(pathToInclude);
fileWrite(pathToWrite,arguments.cfmlcode);
include pathToInclude;
fileDelete(pathToWrite);
}
language = "CFML";
somecfml = "This has some <b>#language#</b> in it";
writeOutput(dynamicInclude(somecfml));
</cfscript>

How to use a wildcard in isDefined() or structKeyExists() in a URL?

I am using ColdFusion 8.0.1.
I am writing a little code in the application file that will look at the URL. If any of a certain type of property is passed, I don't want to update a property in a SESSION structure.
Basically, if a visitor accesses any page that has to do with our registration process, we do not want to update the SESSION.UserInfo.ReturnToURL variable. For every other page they access, we want to update the variable.
All pages that have to do with the registration process will have "myiq.reg" in the URL. If this were the case, I would use the code below.
// DETERMINE WHETHER TO UPDATE RETURNTOURL
if (not structKeyExists(URL, "myiq.reg")) {
URLString = "http://" & CGI.SERVER_NAME & CGI.SCRIPT_NAME & CGI.QUERY_STRING;
SESSION.UserInfo.ReturnToURL = URLString;
}
But it's not that simple. My people want to be able to pass other properties that are similar, like this:
myiq.reg_confirm
myiq.reg_password
myiq.reg_save
I need to be able to soft code these to work with any registration page that they might create in the future. Basically, I need something like this :
if (not structKeyExists(URL, "myiq.reg*")) {
SESSION.UserInfo.ReturnToURL = URLString;
}
Notice the WILDCARD after "myiq.reg". I've tried this, but it doesn't work.
How do I code this so that any page that is access with a URL property that begins with "myiq.reg" is ignored?
You could get a structKeyList() of the URL scope, and just do a regex find in that. Something like:
reFindNoCase("(?:^|,)myiq\.reg", structKeyList(URL))
(only superficially tested)
You could improve the regex a bit if you wanted to more accurately match actual variable name patterns rather than just any occurrence of myiq.reg in the string.
Something like this perhaps...
res = '';
params = StructKeyList(url);
for(i=1; i lte ListLen(params); i++) {
param = listGetAt(params, i);
if (CompareNoCase(Left(param, 8), 'myiq.reg') eq 0) {
res = param;
break;
}
}
