shouldn't mojobasepages which are not a cms page and are not created by user exhibit a different id and guid?

say id should be -1 or something for them?

currently I have a control that I want to be shown on the default page (id 0), but all pages which don't have an Id set exhibit id 0 (and it's the same  for GUID) and that control is shown on all such pages, e.g: admin pages .

perfectly true,

but shouldn't this:

"if you try to get the current page on non cms pages it will still be based on the pageid in the query string and if there is none then it will be the home page."

change?

when no pageid is in the query string, should't a different page id than all CMS pages including home page, say "-1" or anything, be returned? (the same for pageGUID)

well, I guess what I'm saying won't break the home page as the default page for root url.

this is the code I use in my custom control:

(myCode.PageGuidExistsInDB(((mojoBasePage)Page).CurrentPage.PageGuid)

this.visible = true;

I have some other admin pages through which I define where this control is shown.

if this control is selected to be shown on the home page, then it will be shown on all site non-CMS-pages ,all non-CMS pages exhibit same id and guid of home page.

what is requested is not to break default id system, I want the other side changed, I want non-CMS pages show a different id. there is no problem with showing the home page when no page id is specified in the url.

does it take much time to implement?

well, I just didn't want to change everything in mojoportal core, and thought you or any of the users might face a similar issue.

well,

http://eranews.ir/home.aspx

on home page you see a news cycle control which can have up to 10 news image and text.

site admin selects which pages this control is to be visible on.

he says for example he wants this control to be visible in home.aspx and specifies a data source for it. (the source data is from a customized blog module)

I have put this news cycle control in layout.master and on_load, based on page id, it knows if it must be visible or not, and also loads it's page specific data.

if admin adds one to page 2 and specifies data for it, ok, it will just be shown on page with id #2.

but if he adds this control to home page, this control shows up in every admin page and every module edit page. because in all those pages, page id is equal to home page pageID that is 0.

I thought this is innormal, every CMS page should have a unique page id, including the home page, and if a mojobasepage is not a CMS page, it must not say it's pageid is equal to home page. it must return another default value like -1.

best thanks.

I did this because they don't fit the normal module space. that newsticker on the top for example is to extend the whole page length under menu, it's not to sit in any of the three columns.

if (Page is NonCmsBasePage)
                return;

did the work.

I must remember to inherit from this class instead of mojobasepage in my custom admin and edit pages.

unfortunately I needed more than 4 extra content panes for modules, those 2 were not enough.

thankyou.
