please i need help guys. i have an elibrary and i want each book,s decription to have their own view, but all d books description is being tied to one page. here are sme photo's:

You can create details view for the book so that by clicking the name of a particular book, it will link to detail view of that book.

You just need to reduce the information on that your list view.

If you use code first methods & you let your views generate automatically, it will have done it with the way I explain above.

you can achieve that by paginating the views display, the PagedList nuget can help you achieve that, hope you can use PagedList nuget..

nice app there

Sorry to disturb bro, please hw do i upload multiple images to a post..av tried alot of tins, at yet i cant achieve that. Thank u

But can you Upload one?

if you can upload a single image, then add the property for the second image to the model you used to upload, but don't add the required flag and make it a nullable property..

then at the controller level, try to use some logic to check if the second image byte is empty, it should not insert as an empty byte[] to the database, as c# could be funny rather it should be left null.

I just had to do it the long and dirty way though. I created seperate models 4 different file type. I just got soo confused looping through ienummerable of files. Thanks though!

Do u have an idea on how i can redirecttoaction using jquery.. Jus like in nairaland, so that if a user makes a comment it'll redirect him to the comment he just made. Any idea pls?

each comment should have a unique id, then pass it as a parameter from the controller..

not sure if NL uses jquery

Bro av tried that.
return RedirectToAction("topics", "forum", new { id = commentId})
Its wrkin bt it only takes me to the post. Meaning that if i am in page 5 making a comment, it takes me back to page 1 after making d comment. Too bad!

there is no # there that will take it to the comment bro, ok try like this and get back to me,

return Redirect(Url.Action("topics", "forum" +("#"+commentId));

without using the new keyword cos at the route table it will change it to a url parameter...

i think i found this here

404 error bro
Its seeing the requested url as /forums/#commentid/topics
I dunno wat d problem is

return RedirectToAction(string.Format("topics#"+commentid), "forum";

or

return Redirect(Url.Action(strint.Format("topics#"+commentId), "forum";

should work..

Really sorry to bother u.
The route is carrying the #commentid bt its nt taking me to the specific id rather it takes me to d postid.
I added the postid to wat u gave me:
return RedirectToAction(Url.Action(string.Format("topics", new{id = postid}) + "#" + commentid)
I added d postid because in my topics action, if postid is null it throws an exception..
The whole tin gat me confused

Hope you are aware that the comment id is added to a specific position to the html, post your code at the controller level, i think i can come in from there cos you didn't mention that each post has a post id earlier..

//Other codes are above here..........
var myquote = new ModQuote
{
UserId = WebSecurity.GetUserId(user),
PostId = model.PostId,
Comment = model.Comment,
ReplyId = model.ReplyId,
ProfileId = model.ProfileId,
By = User.Identity.Name,
File = model.File,
File1 = model.File1
};
//var last = db.MyModQuote.Where(a => a.PostId == id).AsEnumerable().LastOrDefault();
//if (last != null)
//{
// var find = db.Posts.Find(last.PostId);
//}

db.MyModQuote.Add(myquote);
db.SaveChanges();
return RedirectToAction(Url.Action(string.Format("topics", new { id = id }) + "#" + myquote.ModQuoteId);
//return new RedirectResult(Url.Action("topics", "forum", new { id = id}) + "#" + myquote.ModQuoteId);
}


What am working on is a forum..something similar to nairaland, where every comment falls under a post.
Meaning that every comment has a postId

It works now. I think it was all my fault, i 4got to add the anchor tag carryin the commentid in topics view.
But it doesnt work when d comments enter page 2. Dunno why

What is the Logic you are using for Pagination? how many comments make up a page? if you are using PagedList as recommended earlier, try to append the page count to the Url..

Alright Thank u

At the Controller

Add reference to PagedList and PagedList.Mvc
===========

//here i added a nullabe parameter, int? which indicates the page number, nullable because the first page will not have page count
public ActionResult Index(Guid id, int ? page)
{
//here am returning list of topics from first to 20th topic cos a page should be 20 topics
return View(topics.ToList().ToPagedList(page ?? 1, 20));
}


//same with Post actions

[HttpPost, ActionName("index"]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult PostIndex(Guid id, int? page, string search)
{
var topics = TopicList();
if (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(search))
{
topics = topics.Where(x => x.SubjectS_Id == id && x.TopicName.ToLower().Trim() == search.ToLower().Trim()).ToList();
return View(topics.ToPagedList(page ?? 1, 20));
}
else
{
topics = db.Topics.Where(x => x.SubjectS_Id == id).ToList();
return View(topics.ToPagedList(page ?? 1, 20));
}
}

At the View Leve, mine was Index View

first Add reference
@using PagedList;
@using PagedList.Mvc;
@model IPagedList<MyApp.Models.Topic>

then add this where you want to have the Page Count
@Html.PagedListPager(Model, page => Url.Action("Index", "topic", new { page }),
new PagedListRenderOptions() { Display = PagedListDisplayMode.IfNeeded, DisplayItemSliceAndTotal = true })

Thanks bro. though av done that bh not working yet.
bh dont bother il still get it fixed, even if not now, someother time. thats why i love the IT world.
Planning to host the site today, paid already with smarterasp. Still trying to upload it online

so are you planning to leave all the post on the same page? well, that's not the issue, just lunch it first and let it start working, you can fix it later...

Av got this issue now. I can create a topic from P.c and some high android phones. But when i try posting from some smart phones it gives me a null reference and i cant even trace the error cos its coming from a phone.

What could be the problem?? I have all my html helpers in order

Oh.. first time am hearing this... hav you hosted it??

what did you use to optimize you app for mobile??

and what is the error saying, where is the error pointing to?

use debugger tool so you see where your code broke down..
