I'm trying to put the pager control for a list of news items on both the top and the bottom. It appears it only picks up a pager if the id=pager so I only get the first one rendered. Is there a way to do something like this? Below is my template code.

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

... news items ...

<sf:Pager id="pager2" runat="server"></sf:Pager>

thanks

Hi,

The MasterListView for News is configuring a Pager with exactly this ID - "pager". To configure another Pager you will have to replace the MasterListView with a custom class that does the job.

Create a class like this in your SitefinityWebApp:

namespace SitefinityWebApp

public class CustomMasterListView : Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.News.Web.UI.MasterListView

protected override void InitializeListView(IQueryable<Telerik.Sitefinity.News.Model.NewsItem> query, int? totalCount)

base.InitializeListView(query, totalCount);

if (totalCount.HasValue && totalCount.Value != 0)

var pager2 = this.Container.GetControl<Pager>("pager2", false);

if (pager2 != null)

this.ConfigurePager(pager2, totalCount.Value);

You might need to add a reference to Telerik.Sitefinity.ContentModules assembly to access the MasterListView class.

After you have built this go to Administration -> Settings -> Advanced -> News -> Controls -> NewsFrontend -> Views -> NewsFrontendList. There set ViewType to "SitefinityWebApp.CustomMasterListView, SitefinityWebApp".

I realize this is an old thread, but didn't appear to work for me.

The ViewType in admin didn't match what you said, and it doesnt seem to be saving it if I add customMasterListView to the field...

Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.News.Web.UI.MasterListView, Telerik.Sitefinity.ContentModules

Using v7.2.53

Turns out it didn't like me adding the viewtype to what was there. Once I cleared the ViewType field and pasted in SitefinityWebApp.Custom.CustomMasterListView, it saved and started working.
