adminlte-template's Issues

Update to Bootstrap 4+

When are you planning to update to Bootstrap 4+? #

Add NLog

Make this the default logging provider

Add .NET Core template

Add a version of the template for .NET Core. Probably would be in the same extension but it would just install two templates.

Use new VS2017 csproj format

Replace Select2 with bootstrap-select

Since Select2 doesn't support basic browser usability features, like using the up and down keys, it should be replaced with boostrap-select, which keeps the behavior of a native browser select list.

See if the new project template is backwards compatible with VS2015

If so, the vsix could be updated to allow VS2015 and 2017. Then only older versions (2012, 2013, etc.) would be unsupported.

Change value of todayBtn to linked

AdminLTE-Template/src/AdminLTE Template/Content/js/init.js

Line 5 in 576ebec

todayBtn: true,

https://bootstrap-datepicker.readthedocs.io/en/latest/options.html#todaybtn

True only brings today's date into view while 'linked' also selects today's date.

Icon should have white text and not be transparent

VS2017 crashes upon opening shared view files

I have created a project (VS2017) using this template. It compiles and runs successfully. But when I try to open any file in the Shared directory (eg.: _Layout.cshtml), VS pauses and crashes shortly after.

Any solution to this issue?

Update WebHelpers to v1.2

Project template displays at the root of Visual C# and not Web

Even with <ProjectSubType>Web</ProjectSubType> specified in the vstemplate, it still is only visible under Visual C#.

Your VSIX ID already exists on this site error

Error when trying to upload v3.1 to the VS Gallery. Not sure how to resolve at this point.

Fix validator.js in BundleConfig

.Include("~/Content/js/plugins/validator.js")

should be

.Include("~/Content/js/plugins/validator/validator.js")

how to use it?

I have successfully installed, but can not find to use it.

Add TypeAhead

Update WebHelpers

Global.asax and Web.config are not grouped

Update to AdminLTE v2.4.0

Update to AdminLTE v2.4.0 - https://github.com/almasaeed2010/AdminLTE/releases/tag/v2.4.0

Upgrade Guide - https://adminlte.io/docs/2.4/upgrade-guide

Add default error view and handle in Global.asax

Provide option to add authentication while creating project

It would be very nice if there is an option of adding authentication code like when creating default MVC project. adding asp.net identity authentication later on is pretty cumbersome and defeats the purpose of using template to get started easily.

Restrict default controller actions to HttpGet

ASP.NET MVC CORE - Controller to View bug [Cont...]

Thank you for the previous reply. As this image shows, apparently these belong to you. One says for .NET 5. As per your other message saying you didn't do anything with the .NET 5, but either way I am going to address your statement so I am not cut off so easily.

You said I modified the Side bar, and that I did, following your example. I have 10 years of development experience. I used your template so I can fast track a project.

Moving forward, in the image above I created a new project using each of those extensions. I then made one EndPoint in the Home Controller called "Data", which I then created a strongly typed View which would require a Model. I made no other changes, tried going to that Path "blah/Home/Data". I get the exact same error. So before you dismiss the problem being my problem and not your problem, this is an actual problem with your template, as indicated in the error I posted on the previous issue a few days ago. It wants me to pass in the _Sidebar.chtml or something like that. So with the minimum amount of changes, I got the same error? Why is that?

ASP.NET MVC CORE - Controller to View bug

Hey.. Thank you for building this Template. It's pretty amazing and I like it a lot. You made it very easy to work with. However, I am running across a problem that I am hoping you can help with.

I am using Visual Studio 2019. ASP.NET MVC Core & your template. Machine HP ZBook, 16GB Ram, 500+ GB of free hard drive space. Just the details here. I am sure it has nothing to do with my hardware.

As you can tell from the "Controller" image I am passing a class (object) to the View, theoretically the employee model would have data in it, so that it can be shown on the screen. However, every time I pass in an object to the View for rendering the data, I get the error as shown in the "Browser Error" image. I have looked at nearly everything.

This same error happens on any Controller when I am passing back the model I have tried 3 different views from 3 different controllers. If I remove the model the page loads, but I don't have any of the model data. Sometimes ASP.NET MVC Core has problems with object variable names. I commented out all of the variable names except for PK (Primary Key) because I know that variable name doesn't conflict with ASP.NET MVC CORE.

I keep stipulating CORE because some of the problems I have come across with CORE I have never had in ASP.NET MVC using .NET FRAMEWORK. But .NET FRAMEWORK is now dead, and I switched to CORE.

I will stipulate that this is my first CORE website, so I might be doing something wrong, but when I did research online it shows that I am still doing it the right way. Also I will note that, yes, I know how to read and the error says I am passing in my company_employeesDTO model and it's expecting blah..blah.._Sidebar. That is your sidebar.cshtml file and I can't pass that in. Moreover it shouldn't expect me to pass that in. Also I have made sure 10 times that I am passing the correct model from the Controller to the VIew. They both have the same namespace and object name, so that shouldn't be the problem either.

I was hoping you could help me figure out the problem. Thank you for your time and I hope you have a great day.

Update Newtonsoft.Json to 11.0.2

Fix sidebar white space at bottom of page on resize

This code should be added to the default init.js on document ready:

    $(window).on("load", function () {
        setTimeout(function () {
            $("body").layout("fix");
            $("body").layout("fixSidebar");
        }, 250);
    });

Add support for VS2019
