Invoking a EntityPortalPage via button press - startup issue Your last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

I have an entityPortalPage that contains 3 tabs (ascx, smartparts) which is invoke when the user clicks on a button in the Nav bar menu under Marketing. The question I have is, is it possible to call a function (OnInit ?) before the smartparts are loaded to do some account verification logic; if so, what event and/or function do I override?

Typically you'd put that sort of validation logic in the entity itself, not on a form the entity is used on. Can you describe more about the type of validation you are wanting to do?

Sure,

Basically, I want to inform the user of error or allow user to see my CoolNew.aspx portal page based on a database field in my table. I would like to read that database field on the click of the Nav button then show the user a blank page in CoolNew.aspx (with msg saying not authorized etc and dont show the tabs). I supposed I could try to use roles. Currently, I am doing the validation in the OnInit of the first tab.

You may want to look into the Link Handler class. If you notice, the Menu items under Schedule invoke a Javascript function. That in turn calls some server side code, which you can use to programatically determine if it is ok to proceed to the Page or if you rather redirect the user to different content.

Now, that would not prevent the users from typing your page directly into the Address bar and accessing it, so you probably should either use Roles, or have validation code built into your Tabs as well.
