customize generic content list widget layout

Posted by Community Admin on 31-Dec-2010 00:00

Hi, I tried to customize the generic content list widget by assign a template ascx page to the 'LayoutTemplatePath' property. I found the default template code from the forum:

<%@ Control Language="C#" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="sf" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI.ContentUI" Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="sf" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity" %>

<%@ Register TagPrefix="telerik" Namespace="Telerik.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Web.UI" %>

<telerik:RadListView ID="List" ItemPlaceholderID="ItemsContainer" runat="server" EnableEmbeddedSkins="false" EnableEmbeddedBaseStylesheet="false">

<LayoutTemplate>

<ul class="sfgenericList">

<asp:PlaceHolder ID="ItemsContainer" runat="server" />

</ul>

</LayoutTemplate>

<ItemTemplate>

<li class="sfgenericListItem">

<h2 class="sfgenericTitle">

<sf:DetailsViewHyperLink ID="DetailsViewHyperLink1" TextDataField="Title" ToolTipDataField="Description" runat="server" />

</h2>

<p class="sfgenericMetaInfo">

<sf:FieldListView ID="PublicationDate" runat="server" Format="PublicationDate.ToLocal():MMM dd, yyyy" />

<sf:DetailsViewHyperLink ID="itemCommentsLink" runat="server" CssClass="sfgenericCommentsCount" />

</p>

</li>

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:RadListView>

<sf:Pager id="pager" runat="server" NavigationMode="Links"></sf:Pager>

It works but now I need to show the content of the item in the list. I try to implement a collapse/expand feature in the list page.

So how do I pull out the content of each item into the list?

Thanks.

Hi MJia,

You can use jQuery and its show/hide effects.

Thanks Ivan but that's not I was asking, I know how to use jquery to make show/hide effects.

I was asking how to retrieve the 'content' of the items in the template ascx page?
I tried to use the following code in the <itemtemplate>:

<sf:FieldListView ID="Content" runat="server" Format=" />

But it doesn't get me anything.

Thanks.

Hi MJia,

Try using an Eval

<asp:Literal ID="Literal4" Text='<%# Eval("Content") %>' runat="server" />
