Images not shown in custom widget

Posted by Community Admin on 23-Aug-2011 00:00

I created an image slider (jquery) which should slide through my product images. I use the following code:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

if (!IsPostBack)

rptProductSlider.ItemDataBound += new RepeaterItemEventHandler(rptProductSlider_ItemDataBound);

BindData();

void rptProductSlider_ItemDataBound(object sender, RepeaterItemEventArgs e)

if (e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.Item || e.Item.ItemType == ListItemType.AlternatingItem)

Product p = e.Item.DataItem as Product;

var imgProduct = e.Item.FindControl("imgProduct") as Image;

imgProduct.ImageUrl = p.ThumbnailUrl;

imgProduct.AlternateText = p.ThumbnailAlternativeText;

private void BindData()

var manager = CatalogManager.GetManager();

this.rptProductSlider.DataSource = manager.GetProducts();

this.rptProductSlider.DataBind();

For some reason the slider shows the default image instead of the image that I uploaded with my products.

/SFRes/images/Telerik.Sitefinity.Resources/Images.DefaultProductTmb.png

What am I doing wrong? The ProductList control that comes with the ECommerce module, is showing the images without a problem?

Daniel

Hi Daniel,

You'll need to call CatalogManager's "PopulateImages" function on the list of Products that are returned from "GetProducts". Alternatively, you can call "SetProductImages" on each Product returned from "GetProducts".

Can't figure out what 'provider' I have to fill in with this method. The SetProductImages() works okay, though...

Passing an empty string for that parameter will be fine in most cases.

Hm... doesn't work, unfortunately.

Hi Daniel Plomp,

The solution that Daniel suggested will work. I am also providing you a small sample attached to this reply where I demonstrated how you would get list of Products with Images.

Let me know if you are still facing any issues, and I will be glad to help.

Kind regards,
