How can i add a new SettingScope? I need some settings to be linked to User and their Companies or Working Sites. When retrieved they should fallback up to Company starting at User level.

Do i need to create a specific Setting entity? Also a new SettingManager?

Any tip? Thanks

    Hi,

    It is a bit hard to add a new SettingScope. SettingScopes are defined as enum, https://github.com/aspnetboilerplate/aspnetboilerplate/blob/dev/src/Abp/Configuration/SettingScope.cs.

    Duplicating the entire logic will be hard. You can try to create your own SettingManager inheriting from default SettingManager and override GetSettingValueInternalAsync and GetSettingValueInternal methods to include your logic.

    Finally, you need to replace default Setting manager with your version in PreInitialize method of your Core module as shown below;

    Configuration.ReplaceService<ISettingManager, MySettingManager>(DependencyLifeStyle.Singleton);

    Hi ismcagdas, Ok, i was able to apply your suggestion but since i also need to relate settings with Company e WorkingSites structure. I can't use existing SettingDefinitions. Should i create a new SettingDefiition? New Entity to store them in database?

    Hi,

    SettingDefinition is not an Entity, https://github.com/aspnetboilerplate/aspnetboilerplate/blob/dev/src/Abp.Zero.Common/Configuration/Setting.cs is used as an Entity. So, you can relate this one with your entity. SettingDefinition is mapped to Setting when saving to DB.

    Hi ismcagdas, I've extended Setting entity following this tutorial https://docs.aspnetzero.com/en/common/latest/Extending-Existing-Entities#extending-non-abstract-entities. It added two fields, the fk I needed and Discriminator.

    You've mention to create a new SettingManager inheriting from default one, I was able to do that, also replacing the service ISettingManager in PreInitialize on WebMvcModule, but it doesn't allow me to override those methods. Also, I can't see them in default SettingManager as well. I'm I missing something? I accomplish that by replicate the method GetSettingValueForUserAsync in my AppHubSettingProvider.

    Nevertheless i'm still missing two more methods, Save and Get based on related entity. Like GetSettingValueForApplication, ChangeSettingForApplication. Should I extend interface SettingManager or create a new one?

    Thanks.

    Hi @rcasaca

    If you need two new methods, I think it will be better to create extension methods for SettingManager.

    You've mention to create a new SettingManager inheriting from default one, I was able to do that, also replacing the service ISettingManager in PreInitialize on WebMvcModule, but it doesn't allow me to override those methods.

    Could you share which methods ?

    Hi ismcagdas,

    Sorry for the late reply. I'm still trying to accomplish this. I'm not being able to Replace ISettingManager built in by my new one. The error ComponentNotFoundException: No component for supporting the service CustomerHub.Configuration.IHubSettingManager was found is thrown.

    This is what i have in Web.Mvc.CustomerHubWebMvcModule.PreInitialize

    Configuration.ReplaceService<ISettingManager, HubSettingManager>(DependencyLifeStyle.Singleton);
    

    I've already have my own IHubSettingManager

    public interface IHubSettingManager
    {
    	Task<string> GetSettingAsync(string Name, long UserId);
    }
    

    implemented by HubSettingManager

    public class HubSettingManager : SettingManager, IHubSettingManager
    {
    	public HubSettingManager(
    		ISettingDefinitionManager settingDefinitionManager,
    		ICacheManager cacheManager,
    		IMultiTenancyConfig multiTenancyConfig,
    		ITenantStore tenantStore,
    		ISettingEncryptionService settingEncryptionService)
    		: base(
    			  settingDefinitionManager,
    			  cacheManager,
    			  multiTenancyConfig,
    			  tenantStore,
    			  settingEncryptionService)
    	{
    	}
    	
    	public async Task<string> GetSettingAsync(string Name, long UserId) 
    	{
    		return "setting.value";
    	}
    }
    

    What i'm I missing?

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    It seems like IHubSettingManager is not registered to DI. Could you change its definition as shown below;

    public interface IHubSettingManager : ISingletonDependency
    {
    	Task<string> GetSettingAsync(string Name, long UserId);
    }
