Hello,

Is there any way to flag a menu items navigateUrl to use the HTTPS protocol?

I have built a custom expression builder that will take a relative path (i.e. "~/Secure/MyPage.aspx) and translate this to "https://www.clearchoicehp.com/Secure/MyPage.aspx, however I cannot figure out how to make a menu item use the https protocol.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Doh,

The page that contains the menu is not https, and I was hoping to use a relative link because my site will go through a path to production, namely first my local server, then a testing server, then a staging server, then the production server.

My menu has hundreds of items and they are databased, so I will have to manually modify the full path on each of the different servers for testing. I was hoping to be able to get around this by using relative pathing, and then setting some type of flag that will mark the navigateUrl as https.

So there is no way to do this correct?

Thanks!

In case anyone else out there is wondering how to do this, here is how I accomplished it:

First I created a class that will create the https link based on this web site: http://www.leastprivilege.com/PartiallySSLSecuredWebAppsWithASPNET.aspx

Second, I stored my navigateUrl for the menu items as "HttpsUrl:~/<path here>" (for instance: HttpsUrl:~/Secure/MySecurePage.aspx)

Last, I handled the OnItemDataBound event of the menu and checked for "HttpsUrl:" in the NavigateUrl string. If it was found, I used this code to create the SSL link:

DataRow row = (DataRow)e.MenuItem.DataItem;


if (row["MenuItemNavigateURL"].ToString().Contains("HttpsUrl:"))
{
e.MenuItem.NavigateUrl = SslTools.GetAbsoluteUrl(row["MenuItemNavigateURL"].ToString().Replace("HttpsUrl:", ""), ProtocolOptions.Https);
}

Hope this helps someone else too :)

No problem at all!

By the way, the EO Menu rocks! It has been so easy to use and code against. Great job :)
