New to Sitefinity

Posted by Community Admin on 28-Sep-2010 00:00

Hi,

It's probably a silly question but I'm very new to Sitefinity and can't work out how to create a Generic Content box that is wrapped in my own div?

Can I just copy the built in Generic Content and alter it? If so, where do I find this?

Thanks

Hello Ivor,

Here are two options

1. You can create a ContentPlaceHolder in your master page and wrap it inside a div. Then drop Content block widget in this holder.

2. Create a custom/user control and inside its template declared Content block control.

<%@ Register TagPrefix="cb" Namespace="Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.GenericContent.Web.UI" Assembly="Telerik.Sitefinity" %>

<div style="background-color:Red">

<cb:ContentBlock runat="server" ID="test1" />

</div>

3. Use CssClass property of the Content block widget( advanced section). When you set this property the entire control is wrapped inside a div with the specified css.

Ah cool thanks :)

I need to add multiple boxes to the page so it will need to be either 2 or 3 but I can't seem to get either of them to work...

If I add a class to the option in advanced it seems to just ignore it, or, if I create a new user control using the code you have provided me it causes a Parser Error.

Sorry for being a pain.
