How can modify the module list template to support only one

Posted by Community Admin on 25-Mar-2013 00:00

Salam,

I have created a new module and I'm having an Image Field where I'm allowing back-end users to publish multiple images for one item, and it is a very nice feature, and I'm trying to modify the list template "Using Thunder" or by editing it in the back end, and I want to display with the list only one image or the first image from the image list, but with the full item content I want to keep all images, what I have to change instead of this:

<sf:ImageGalleryAssetsField runat="server" DataFieldName="Image" ImageGalleryMasterViewName="ImagesFrontendThumbnailsListLightBox" />

Also is there any place that I can deeply understand how to modify the template?
I know it a user control, but I want more information about Sitefinity "sf:....." controls and controls properties?

Regards,

Ok I found one way to do it using code refernce "Integration example for <MyNewModule>", where I need to creat a custome user control, using Thunder:

// ~/DisplayItems.ascx

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="DisplayItems.ascx.cs" Inherits="SitefinityWebApp.DisplayItems" %>

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

<!-- ScriptManager or RadScriptManager is required by RadGrid, but this tag probably already exists on the Master Template -->

<telerik:radgrid id="Grid" runat="server" autogeneratecolumns="False">

<mastertableview>

<columns>

<telerik:gridboundcolumn datafield="Title" headertext="Title">

</telerik:gridboundcolumn></columns>

</mastertableview>

</telerik:radgrid>

// ~/DisplayItems.ascx.cs

using System;

using System.Linq;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Model;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.DynamicModules;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.Linq.Dynamic;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.DynamicModules.Model;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.Utilities.TypeConverters;

using Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model;

namespace SitefinityWebApp

public partial class DisplayItems : System.Web.UI.UserControl

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

// Fetch a collection of "live" and "visible" MyNewModule items.

var myCollection = GetDataItems();

// Binds the collection of Person items to the RadGrid

Grid.DataSource = myCollection;

Grid.DataBind();

// Gets a collection of "live" and "visible" MyNewModule items.

public IQueryable<DynamicContent> GetDataItems()

DynamicModuleManager dynamicModuleManager = DynamicModuleManager.GetManager();

Type MyNewModuleType = TypeResolutionService.ResolveType("Telerik.Sitefinity.DynamicTypes.Model.WNews.MyNewModule");

// Fetch a collection of "live" and "visible" MyNewModule items.

var myCollection = dynamicModuleManager.GetDataItems(MyNewModuleType)

.Where(i => i.Status == Telerik.Sitefinity.GenericContent.Model.ContentLifecycleStatus.Live && i.Visible == true);

return myCollection;

is there any other way? by modifying list template?
