Add a new classification dynamically

Posted by Community Admin on 29-Jan-2011 00:00

Hello,

I develop a custom module based on Product catalog sample. To complete its data model, i create 2 new classifications in sitefinity back office and add 2 custom fields to my custom module. It is possible to create these classifications during module is installing?

Thanks

Jocelyn

Hi jocelyn,

It can be done. In your module you can override InstallTaxonomies method and create your custom classification.

You will find a sample code here.

Hello Ivan,

Thanks for your reply.

Here is the code i'm using:

protected override void InstallTaxonomies(SiteInitializer initializer)

this.InstallTaxonomy(initializer, typeof(ContactItem));

var taxonomyManager = TaxonomyManager.GetManager();

FlatTaxonomy countries = taxonomyManager.CreateTaxonomy<FlatTaxonomy>();

countries.Name = "Countries";

countries.Title = "Countries";

taxonomyManager.SaveChanges();

var metaMan = initializer.Context.MetadataManager;

var type = metaMan.CreateMetaType(typeof(ContactItem));

var field = metaMan.CreateMetafield("Country");

field.TaxonomyProvider = taxonomyManager.Provider.Name;

field.TaxonomyId = countries.Id;

field.IsSingleTaxon = true;

type.Fields.Add(field);

metaMan.SaveChanges();

With this code, i have a first error on line 'countries.Title = "Countries"': Unsupported language "fr-FR". If you want to support this language, please configure your application accordingly.

If I comment this line, i have the following error (DuplicateKeyException):

Insert of '645785618-bbc609a5-1923-402e-a7e5-6cd07639e415' failed: Telerik.OpenAccess.RT.sql.SQLException: Impossible to insert a line of key in double into the object ' dbo.sf_meta_types ' with a unique index ' idx_sf_meta_types '. The instruction was stopped.

(set event logging to all to see parameter values)

Thanks for your help!

Hi jocelyn,

You can try using the code below

public static readonly Guid CountriesId = new Guid("DE0F3A19-A200-48a7-88EC-34495C0F5321");

protected override void InstallTaxonomies(SiteInitializer initializer)

var taxMan = initializer.TaxonomyManager;

var flatTaxonomy = this.GetOrCreateTaxonomy<FlatTaxonomy>

(initializer, "Countries", MyModuleManager.CountriesId, Res.Get<CountriesResources>().Countries);

MetaField field;

var metaMan = initializer.Context.MetadataManager;

var type = metaMan.GetMetaType(itemType);

if (type == null)

type = metaMan.CreateMetaType(itemType);

var result = type.Fields.SingleOrDefault(f => f.FieldName == "Countries");

var reflProp = itemType.GetProperty(Countries);

if (result == null && reflProp == null)

field = metaMan.CreateMetafield("Countries");

field.TaxonomyProvider = taxMan.Provider.Name;

field.TaxonomyId = flatTaxonomy.Id;

field.IsSingleTaxon = false;

var flatTaxonFieldCountries = ControlUtilities.GetSitefinityTextResource("Telerik.Sitefinity.Samples.Templates.Fields.FrontendFlatTaxonFieldCountry.htm");

var scaffoldInfoMetaAttr = new MetaFieldAttribute

Name = "ControlTag",

Value = flatTaxonFieldTag

;

field.MetaAttributes.Add(scaffoldInfoMetaAttr);

field.MetaAttributes.Add(new MetaFieldAttribute Name = "IsCommonProperty", Value = "true" );

type.Fields.Add(field);

<sitefinity:FlatTaxonField

ID="FlatFieldControl"

DisplayMode="Read"

runat="server"

WebServiceUrl="~/Sitefinity/Services/Taxonomies/FlatTaxon.svc"

AllowMultipleSelection="true"

TaxonomyId="DE0F3A19-A200-48a7-88EC-34495C0F5321"

TaxonomyMetafieldName="Countries"

Expanded="false"

ExpandText="ClickToAddCountries"

BindOnServer="true" />

It looks like you have already added the key for your taxonomy.

All the best,

Hello,

I used the following code to add my taxonomy while installing my custom module.

protected void InstallCustomTaxonomies(SiteInitializer initializer)

var metaMan = initializer.Context.MetadataManager;

var taxMan = initializer.TaxonomyManager;

var hirerarchicalTaxonomy = this.GetOrCreateTaxonomy<HierarchicalTaxonomy>

(initializer, "Markets", MarketsTaxonomyId, "Market");

var type = metaMan.CreateMetaType(typeof(ActuatorsItem));

var field = metaMan.CreateMetafield("Markets");

field.TaxonomyProvider = taxMan.Provider.Name;

field.TaxonomyId = MarketsTaxonomyId;

field.IsSingleTaxon = false;

type.Fields.Add(field);

initializer.Context.MetadataManager.SaveChanges(false);

private TTaxonomy GetOrCreateTaxonomy<TTaxonomy>(SiteInitializer initializer, string taxonomyName, Guid taxonomyId, string taxonName) where TTaxonomy : class, ITaxonomy

TTaxonomy taxonomy = initializer.Context.GetSharedObject<TTaxonomy>(taxonomyName);

if (taxonomy == null)

var taxMan = initializer.TaxonomyManager;

taxonomy = taxMan.GetTaxonomies<TTaxonomy>().FirstOrDefault(t => t.Name == taxonomyName);

if (taxonomy == null)

taxonomy = taxMan.CreateTaxonomy<TTaxonomy>(taxonomyId);

taxonomy.Name = taxonomyName;

taxonomy.Title = taxonomyName;

taxonomy.TaxonName = taxonName;

((SecModel.ISecuredObject)taxonomy).CanInheritPermissions = true;

((SecModel.ISecuredObject)taxonomy).InheritsPermissions = true;

((SecModel.ISecuredObject)taxonomy).SupportedPermissionSets = new string[] SecurityConstants.Sets.Taxonomies.SetName ;

initializer.Context.SetSharedObject(taxonomyName, taxonomy);

return taxonomy;

I got the following error on executing the line taxonomy.Title = taxonomyName;:
Unsupported language "en-US". If you want to support this language, please configure your application accordingly.

Do you have any idea of this issue?
Could you please reply as soon as possible.

Regards,
Jocelyn

Up!

Can someone has any idea?

I have more information. I remove all the front languages so my website is not multilingual. Doing this, it works. Why, in case of multilingual website it does not work?
