CrownPeak.CMSAPI.PostInputContext : CrownPeak.CMSAPI.Context

Context for the post_input.aspx template file. Runs before data is saved. Use post_save.aspx to run after the save. Use InputForm to read and manipulate data that will be saved to the current asset. It will be populated by the data posted from the input form (input.aspx), but you can change, add, or remove values.

NameDescriptionType
InputForm

Gives access to the data from the posted input form so the data can be read or modified before saving.

Property
UIType

The type of user interface from which the current user is running the template.

Property
ValidationError

Setting this causes the input form to be redisplayed with this message at the top.

Property
ValidationErrorFields

Fields whose names are a key in ValidationErrorFields will be highlighted, and will show the value as the error message.

Property
ClientName

The name of this client.

Property
CultureInfo

If this is set, then when asset objects are looking for fields via the [] operator, they will first look for the the culture string (fr for example) plus name before returning, otherwise the field without the string will be returned. This will remain set for the lifetime of the currently running template unless specifically set to another culture or to null which will restore the default. The default culture has a string of "en-US"

Property
CurrentTemplateId

The asset id of the template file that we are currently running.

Property
Error

Contains errors. May also be used to trigger or set an error under some circumstances such as during upload.aspx During post_input don't use this for validation errors, use ValidationError instead.

Property
ExecutedById

The asset id of the asset that is executing this template. Only populated if the current template is called by another such as when using an Asset.Show() or Asset.GetLink() command. Calling template must also be a C# template.

Property
FilterStatus

Contains the names of statuses like "Live" and "Stage" which are considered valid in the current context. There is usually always a blank "" which signifies that assets without workflow are valid. Affects all calls which use filter status including Asset.Load(), Asset.GetFilterList(), Asset.GetFileList(), and Asset.GetFolderList() unless specifically set by those functions. This is a ReadOnlyCollection. You may read it, but not modify it. Reading this type of collection is almost identical to reading a List.

Property

The job id if the current template is running via a Job. Currently only used by post_save_job template.

Language

The short form value of the User's selected language
