Redirect URL to get from UIForm back to the UIGrid after Save

Andrei Panait asked on March 23, 2017 10:35

Hi,

I have a form (New/Edit Object Template) under the following nodes:

Content management > Pages > Edit > CustomApplication > CustomClassListing > New Custom Class

I have an Extender for the UIForm in order to set the correct DocumentID/NodeID on the custom class. After saving I want to get redirected back to the listing. I tried using the UIContextHelper.GetElement to figure out the parameters, but I had no success so far.

What is the correct way of going back from the UIForm to the corresponding UIGrid?

Thank you.

Use:

string url = UIContextHelper.GetElementUrl(moduleName, ElementName, displayTitle, objectId);

The moduleName shoule be the CodeName of your Module where you defined the UI for the object listing.

ElementName is the codeName of the UI element where the listing is.

ObjectId allows for a paramter to be passed.

If your listing uses additional parameters then you can pass them in by adding paramters to the Url:

string redirectToUrl = UIContextHelper.GetElementUrl(MyCustomModule.MODULE_NAME, "ShipmentProperties", false, ShipmentID);

            if (mOrderId > 0)
            {
                URLHelper.AddParameterToUrl(redirectToUrl, "orderid", mOrderId.ToString());
            }
            if (mCustomerId > 0)
            {
                URLHelper.AddParameterToUrl(redirectToUrl, "customerid", mCustomerId.ToString());
            }
            URLHelper.Redirect(redirectToUrl);

EDIT: I just noticed that the code above is a bit wrong since URLHelper.AddParamter(redirectToUrl, "orderid", mOrderId.ToString()) returns a string with the new parameter added and hence you should replace 'redirectUrl' with this new value ie. redirectUrl = URLHelper.AddParamter(redirectToUrl, "orderid", mOrderId.ToString())

For reference, the final solution for redirecting from UIForm back to the Object Listing when these are found in a Page tab was to set the Redirect URL as:

{%UIContext.GetElementUrl("ModuleCodename", "UIElementCodename", false, 0, "nodeID="); @%}{%nodeid%}
