|
## 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)
|
|

|
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)
|
|
|

|
|
## 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
|
|
