Product list - thumbnails view - code behind

Hello,

I read the following blog post to add code behind for a built-in widget.
www.sitefinity.com/.../how_to_add_additional_logic_into_sitefinity_built_in_widgets

The problem is that I can't find the thumbnails widget (of the products list widget)... where can I change to code behind file for this widget?

Kind regards,

bob

Hey Bob,

Attached you'll see two screenshots, one for each of Stanislav's approaches.
As an alternative, you might want to take a look at this Blogpost from Josh Morales (www.sitefinity.com/.../mapping_external_templates_for_sitefinity_4_widgets)

It's a less elegant approach, but if its simply a matter of adding some non obtrusive server-side code its often easier to 'add' than 'inherit' when it comes to upgrades & service packs...

Hi Bob,

I agree with Jochem Bökkers, that Josh Morales post will provide you the best solution.

Hello all,

thank you for the responses. I know this post of Josh Morales, but the problem was that I couldn't find the guid of this widget. Finally I found the guid through another way.
Go to the backoffice -> design -> widget templates and open the template you want to edit. If you open at the same moment firebug (net tab) or fiddler, you'll see the rest service request, and in the url of this request you can find the guid.

Thanks,

bob

Bob,

If you install the Sitefinity Thunder extension and use that to retrieve the widget, life will get alot easier. It can automatically download/upload the widgets (just like the built-in editor) but you can also save a widget locally, in which case it saves the template locally under the guid.ascx name.

Jochem,

I know the extension but I missed the 'save as option' to retrieve the guid... :s

thanks a lot for this tip.

@Bob,

It's one of those pleasant little gems that make Georgi's projects rise above the rest :)
