Partial view in MVC resource package
I have a resource package with the following structure:
ResourcePackages > MyPackage > MVC > Views > Layouts > MainLayout.cshtml
In MainLayout I am wanting to include partial files that are in the same directory:
@Html.Partial("Menu")
Frustratingly, Sitefinity doesn't look in the immediate folder for a partial. Instead it generates the following error:
[InvalidOperationException: The partial view 'Menu' was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. The following locations were searched:
~/Views/Generic/Menu.cshtml
~/Views/Shared/Menu.cshtml
~/Views/Generic/Menu.aspx
~/Views/Generic/Menu.ascx
~/Views/Shared/Menu.aspx
~/Views/Shared/Menu.ascx
~/Views/Generic/Menu.vbhtml
~/Views/Shared/Menu.vbhtml]
How can I refer to a partial view from within a resource package?
I have tried placing the partial in the following locations with no luck:
ResourcePackages > MyPackage > Shared
ResourcePackages > MyPackage > MVC > Shared
ResourcePackages > MyPackage > MVC > Views > Shared
ResourcePackages > MyPackage > MVC > Views > Layouts
Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi,
Are there any updates on this issue?
thanks,
I was originally facing issues because I had the file extension in the Partial reference. I was able to get it working without. See knowledgebase.progress.com/.../refer-to-partial-view-in-mvc-resource-package-views
I have some fragment files in my current project that are working as expected:
/ResourcePackages/MyPackage/Mvc/Views/Layouts/Skeleton.cshtml
/ResourcePackages/MyPackage/Mvc/Views/Layouts/Fragments/_Header.cshtml
In Skeleton I reference the partial like so:
@Html.Partial("Fragments/_Header")
