Each time you insert a link through the LinkManager and Images/Document manager, a link in the following format is being produced:
[ProviderName]GUID_of_content item
Here are some examples:
Sometimes you need to parse such "links" in your custom controls or modules, right? In such cases, you might use this code:
public string GetItemUrl(string provider, Guid id, bool resolveAsAbsoluteUrl) |
{ |
if (ContentManager.Providers.ContainsKey(provider)) |
{ |
IContent cnt = ContentManager.Providers[provider].GetContent(id); |
if (cnt != null) |
return VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(cnt.UrlWithExtension, this.Context.Request.ApplicationPath); |
} |
else |
{ |
// we assume it is a page |
SiteMapNode node = SiteMap.Provider.FindSiteMapNodeFromKey(id.ToString()); |
if (node != null) |
return this.ResolveClientUrl(node.Url); |
} |
return String.Concat("Item not found: [", provider, "]", id); |
} |
You can as well use the different Manager classes depending on the provider that is defined in the link, or even use the ContentManager class initialized with different provider.
I hope you will find that code helpful.
