Power Apps Portals custom code

Posted on 21 May 2020 15:02:49 by 30

My organization is looking to abandon On-Premise CRM-2016 with ADX 7.5 portals and move to Power Apps.

 

Our one catch point is that it does not appear that cloud hosted Portals in Power Apps can use customized code (ie, aspx/ascx files). Is it possible to use MS Portals 8.3 (which was open sourced) with Power Apps? Would the solution files import correctly with the current version of PA?

 

Thanks,

Brennan Phoenix

    I am bit confused with the answer by @v-xida-msft 

    "If you want to use your Dynamics 365 CRM Portal 8.3 within PowerApps Portal directly, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs currently"

    The community portals 8.3 is still valid for D365 online: https://github.com/Adoxio/xRM-Portals-Community-Edition

    Now.. bear in mind that this wouldn't be my recommendation, in the last Release Notes, Microsoft announced finally a date for the deprecation of WS-Trust and OrganizationServiceProxy (April 2022)

    So you can be sure that after April 2022 any on-prem Portals still pointing to a D365 Online instance will stop working

    I am not sure if the community is planning to upgrade the source code, to be honest there would be a lot of work involved, so my guess would be probably not!

     

    My recommendation would be to get your most complex pages from your ADX 7.5 and give it a try on an online trial Power Apps Portals, see how far you can get and if that suffice your needs

    If you feel you wouldn't have time to re-write everything in liquid/javascript, I would migrate to v8.3 at a first instance.. but consider to migrate every code to Liquid in the future

    Hi @BrennanPhoenix ,

    Do you want to use your Dynamics 365 CRM Portal 8.3 within PowerApps Portal?

     

    Yeah, you are right. Currently, the aspx/ascx files are not supported in PowerApps Portal. Currently, the JavaScript code, Liquid Template Language, CSS code, HTML code all all supported in PowerApps Portal.

     

    If you want to use your Dynamics 365 CRM Portal 8.3 within PowerApps Portal directly, I afraid that there is no way to achieve your needs currently. As an alternative solution, you could consider migrate your D365 CRM Portal into PowerApps.

    More details about migrating Portal Configuration in PowerApps, please check the following article:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/portals/admin/migrate-portal-configuration#import-portal-configuration-data

     

    Of course, if you want to provision a Portal using Older Portal Add-on, please refer to the following article:

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powerapps/maker/portals/provision-portal-add-on
