Bookmarks using Mashup API

Wed, 20 Jan 2016 12:11:40 GMT

I am creating an ASP.NET MVC web application that needs to maintain selection state between visits and the plan was to use bookmarks to achieve this.

The application I am interacting with is published, and I am using the following code to create a bookmark and then save the application.

$('#createTileButton').click(function () {

console.info('create tile clicked');

app.bookmark.create('@Guid.NewGuid()', 'A custom tile with reference for \'@Model.TileRef\' for user \'@User.Identity.Name\'').then(function (bookmark) {

//alert(bookmark.id);

console.info('bookmark promise returned');

$('#Bookmark').val(bookmark.id);

app.doSave().then(function () {

console.info('save promise returned');

});

$("form[name='custom-tile-form']").submit();

});

return false;

});

The bookmark doesn't appear to be saving although I am getting a bookmark id returned. I did initially have the form submission with the callback of doSave() however it was never been called.

I am getting a variety of error messages however the app.doSave() tends to return an Error From Engine: with HTTP 403: Permission Denied error but no further details

Any ideas?

Hey Daniel,

You don't need to persist your bookmarks with a app.dosave() actually if this is a published app then your users most likely aren't even allowed to persist changes to a app through doSave().

Your bookmark will be saved scoped to that user as a un-published bookmark. Also try saving your bookmark with a human readable name and not a guid as that may screw things up, strange I know

Also the above answer assumes that you have a authenticated user. Anonymous users are not allowed to save bookmarks.

Hi Alex,

Yes I am using an authenticated user. I am not sure what has changed but it now seems to be persisting bookmarks without the save - I am sure I had tried this previously without luck but apparently I hadn't!

Even with the GUID as the name everything seems OK - it would be hard to give a truly unique human readable name within the context of the application.
