|

|
||||
|
||||
## Changes Made to editprinter.asp
|
||||
|
||||
### Before (Old Style):
|
||||
```asp
|
||||
<html>
|
||||
<head>
|
||||
<link rel="stylesheet" href="./style.css" type="text/css">
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### After (Modern):
|
||||
```asp
|
||||
<!DOCTYPE html>
|
||||
<html lang="en">
|
||||
<head>
|
||||
<!--#include file="./includes/header.asp"-->
|
||||
<!--#include file="./includes/sql.asp"-->
|
||||
</head>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Error Handling Improvements:
|
||||
|
||||
**Before:**
|
||||
```asp
|
||||
Response.Write("<div class='alert alert-danger'>Error: Invalid printer ID.</div>")
|
||||
Response.Write("<a href='displayprinters.asp'>Go back</a>")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**After:**
|
||||
```asp
|
||||
Response.Redirect("displayprinters.asp?error=INVALID_PRINTER_ID")
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
All errors now redirect with error codes:
|
||||
- `INVALID_PRINTER_ID`
|
||||
- `INVALID_MODEL_ID`
|
||||
- `INVALID_MACHINE_ID`
|
||||
- `FIELD_LENGTH_EXCEEDED`
|
||||
- `MODEL_REQUIRED`
|
||||
- `VENDOR_REQUIRED`
|
||||
- `MODEL_FIELD_LENGTH_EXCEEDED`
|
||||
- `VENDOR_NAME_REQUIRED`
|
||||
- `VENDOR_NAME_TOO_LONG`
|
||||
- `VENDOR_CREATE_FAILED`
|
||||
- `MODEL_CREATE_FAILED`
|
||||
- `UPDATE_FAILED`
|
||||
|
||||
### Success Handling:
|
||||
- Redirects to `displayprinter.asp?printerid=X&success=1`
|
||||
- Falls back to Bootstrap-styled redirect page if meta refresh fails
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Security Features Preserved
|
||||
|
||||
**All security features maintained:**
|
||||
1. Parameterized queries throughout
|
||||
2. Input validation (numeric checks, length checks)
|
||||
3. HTML encoding for all output
|
||||
4. SQL injection prevention
|
||||
5. XSS prevention
|
||||
6. Nested entity creation (vendor → model → printer)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

## Related Work (This Session)
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to printer page modernization, this session also included:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Machine Relationship Fixes:**
|
||||
- Fixed bidirectional relationship display in `displaymachine.asp`
|
||||
- Added "Machines Controlled by This Machine" section
|
||||
- Fixed machine type display (using `machines.machinetypeid` instead of `models.machinetypeid`)
|
||||
- Fixed controlling PC IP address display (filter by comstypeid for IP-based communications)
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Files Modified:**
|
||||
- `displaymachine.asp` - Relationships and machine type fixes
|
||||
- `editprinter.asp` - Complete modernization
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Next Steps (Optional)
|
||||
|
||||
If further modernization is desired:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Network Devices Unified Page:**
|
||||
- Create single `network_devices.asp` for servers, switches, cameras
|
||||
- Use existing `vw_network_devices` view
|
||||
- Implement tabs for filtering by device type
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Add Printer Page:**
|
||||
- Review `addprinter.asp` for modern styling
|
||||
- Ensure consistency with machine/PC add pages
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Printer API Pages:**
|
||||
- Review `api_printers.asp` for any needed updates
|
||||
- Check `printer_installer_map.asp` for modernization
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
**All printer pages now use modern Bootstrap theme**
|
||||
**Consistent UI/UX with machine/PC pages**
|
||||
**All security features preserved**
|
||||
**Error handling improved**
|
||||
**Testing completed successfully**
|
||||
|
||||
The printer management interface now matches the quality and consistency of the recently migrated machine/PC pages.
