How to check if CMSEditableRegion has contents or not?

I have created a custom webpart consisting multiple 'CMSEditableRegion'

<cms:CMSEditableRegion ID="editableHeading" runat="server" RegionType="HtmlEditor"
                DialogHeight="30" RegionTitle="Heading" EnableViewState="false" HtmlAreaToolbarLocation="Out:FCKToolbar" />

On which event and how i will check if this CMSEditableRegion has content ?

Hello,

You can check it in the Page_Load event and the code could be like the following one:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        GeneralConnection gc = ConnectionHelper.GetConnection(); 
       
        string content = CMS.PortalEngine.PageInfoProvider.GetPageInfo(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, CMSContext.CurrentAliasPath, CMSContext.CurrentPageInfo.DocumentCulture, null, true, gc).EditableItems["editableHeading"];
                
        if (content != null)
        {
            // editableHeading editable region has a content
        }
        else {
            // editableHeading editable region is empty
        }
    }

Best regards,

RE:How to check if CMSEditableRegion has contents or not?

I tried following one :

GeneralConnection gc = ConnectionHelper.GetConnection();

        string content = CMS.PortalEngine.PageInfoProvider.GetPageInfo(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, CMSContext.CurrentAliasPath, CMSContext.CurrentPageInfo.DocumentCulture, null, gc.IsOpen()).EditableItems["editableHeading"];

But it is always giving null...

Design of webpart is as follows:

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="3RowsNews.ascx.cs" Inherits="CMSWebParts_TAC_3RowsNews" %>
<li>
    <p>
        <strong>
            <cms:CMSEditableRegion ID="editableHeading" runat="server" RegionType="HtmlEditor"
                DialogHeight="30" RegionTitle="Heading" EnableViewState="false" HtmlAreaToolbarLocation="Out:FCKToolbar"
                InheritContent="true" />
        </strong>
    </p>
    <p class="fixedHeightText">
        <cms:CMSEditableRegion ID="editableContent" runat="server" RegionType="HtmlEditor"
            DialogHeight="80" RegionTitle="Content" EnableViewState="false" HtmlAreaToolbarLocation="Out:FCKToolbar"
            InheritContent="true" />
    </p>
    <div class="activity-news-image">
        <cms:CMSEditableRegion ID="editableImage" runat="server" RegionType="HtmlEditor"
            DialogHeight="80" RegionTitle="Image" EnableViewState="false" HtmlAreaToolbarLocation="Out:FCKToolbar"
            InheritContent="true" />
    </div>
</li>

Code behind is :

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using CMS.PortalControls;

public partial class CMSWebParts_TAC_3RowsNews : CMSAbstractWebPart
{

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {

    }
    protected void Page_Init(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.editableHeading.ID = "Heading_" + this.ID;
        this.editableContent.ID = "Content_" + this.ID;
        this.editableImage.ID = "Image_" + this.ID;
    }
}

Hello,

That's because you change their IDs before you call the GetPageInfo function, so please change that line to:

string content = CMS.PortalEngine.PageInfoProvider.GetPageInfo(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, CMSContext.CurrentAliasPath, CMSContext.CurrentPageInfo.DocumentCulture, null, true, gc).EditableItems[this.editableHeading.ID];
