SFREF Attributes in Content - Sitefinity - Front- & Back-End Development

Okay... see the code below:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

//Literal Cycle = new Literal();

ListsManager manager = ListsManager.GetManager();

var items = manager.GetListItems()

.Where(i => i.Parent.Title == "Homepage Banners")

.Where(l => l.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live);

var totalContent = "";

foreach(Telerik.Sitefinity.Lists.Model.ListItem item in items)

totalContent += item.Content.ToString();

Cycle.Text = totalContent;

item.Content returns the content from that list item with sfref attributes within it (on images). If I use the FluentAPI to get content from a list item, this should be all resolved... Is there a temporary fix for this bug?

Thanks

Hello Conrad Ehinger,

This is not a bug. The sfref attribute is used to tell Sitefinity that this is a dynamic link that has to be resolved. This has been the case with 3.x also. If you retrieve the content directly you will always see sfref attribute. In order to resolve the dynamic links within the content:

ListsManager lManager = ListsManager.GetManager();

var listItem = lManager.GetListItems().Where(lI => lI.Title == "List Item 1" && lI.Status == Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Live).FirstOrDefault();

//clear SFREF attribute

string unresolved = Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.Utilities.LinkParser.UnresolveLinks(listItem.Content);

//resolve dynamic links to the acual content

string

resolved = Telerik.Sitefinity.Web.Utilities.LinkParser.ResolveLinks(unresolved, Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.GenericContent.DynamicLinksParser.GetContentUrl,

null, false);

Radoslav,

Thank you for posting that method. I'll give it a shot.

I still feel like it is an oversight/bug. I understand the purpose of the sfref attribute. But in 3.7, it was automatically parsed out of the Content property when using the API. Something like that doesn't hold purpose in the HTML, unless it is being used by JavaScript after page load.

Thanks,

Chris

Hello Conrad Ehinger,

The sfref tag is not automatically cleared in Sitefinity 3.x. It is cleared by the content view cotrols (Generic Content list, News View, Events View, etc.), when the item is rendered on the page.
