Hey MythicalMe.

I have made it through Chapter 4. Everything is working correctly except for the Admin menu link. If I run my app the Admin menu link is showing up before I log in even though I integrated the role management on the site map. I added the required "roles" attribute to the sitemapnode for the Admin link in the web.sitemap file. I also added the required sitemap provider in the web.config file and added the attribute securityTrimmingEnabled = true.

Is there something tricky about this feature that I missed while going through the first 4 chapters? Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

jtizzy,

  Did you first create the different roles and passwords?

Hey charleshua,

yes. What I figured out was that I either needed a <location> block in the web.config file restricting access to the Admin folder. Or, what I noticed in the Chapter 4 download from mythicalme was that the Admin folder had it's own web.config file with <location> blocks restricting access.

It made sense but, the book didn't talk about this Admin folder having it's own web.config file at this point nor did it mention anything about also needing <location> restrictions in order to get the roles functionality to work.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for the effort. I had a problem before in my code and the moment I got yours I knew what problem I had and I fixed it.

Now Why does all our code give messages for our Web.config tags? ex.

Could not find schema information for the element 'theBeerHouse'.

Hello MythicalMe:

I found your chapters very helpful in going through the book. I have one question that I still don't understand.

Why does your chapters show two CustomEvents projects, one named "TBH_CustomEvents" and the other, "TBHCustomEvents", where the Beerhouse only shows 1, named TBHCustomEvents in a TBH_CustomEvents folder.

I copied yours as best I could, creating two projects to do so, and it seems to work but I'm still not sure I did it correctly. Do you create two projects and then add one to the other?

Why aren't those chap 6-10 downloadable?

The book code was designed and tested to be installed all at once. After publication, many readers asked to have the code chapter by chapter so they could build the site one chapter at a time. A reader (MythicalMe) was kind enough to create the chapter by chapter versions for chapters 2-5 but no one has done the rest of the book that way.
In addition to the extra work, one reason is that as a teaching tool, there are a lot of similarities between chapters 6-10 and some of the early chapters, reapplying the same concepts to new parts of the site. So most readers who wanted this would get the most benefit from chapters 2-5.
