Rest Request Parameters

Shane Cao asked on September 12, 2018 18:09

I setup user registration on my kentico site. One of the fields I have the user input is an AccessCode field which is a 4 digit number. I want to take that code and pass it to an api Endpoint and get back a JSON Object to build my page.

My question is that I am not quite sure how to get the user access code to pass to the url.

What's the best way of going about this.

Also I believe when I get the databack I can build the page using transformations correct?

So does the access code get validated before you can register?

You'd be needing a custom Form control with your own custom validator that calls your service.
check : docs.kentico.com...developing-custom-form-controls

Or is it just used on the confirmation page after you've registered?

You'll need a custom Web Part or User control that just calls your service on page load.

Thanks for the response and recommendation!

No the access code does not, it's just an identifier for myself and the 3rd party api I am trying to use. This access code needs to be passed to the custom api endpoint. Which I was trying to just do in a javascript webpart, but I'm not sure how I can get the current logged in users account data in kentico to pass to the endpoint.

I actually like what you recommended more and will probably go that route, but my question would still be how can I access the AccessCode field to send to the api on page load?

Edit: actually since its a custom webpart, can't I just handle getting the users data in the backend code?
