Make editable image inherit on certain pages

I'm using the portal templates and have a usercontrol like this.

<%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Banner.ascx.cs" Inherits="Controls_Banner" %>
<cms:CMSEditableImage ID="BannerEditable" runat="server" ImageHeight="953" ImageWidth="129" ImageCssClass="banner" ToolTip='<%=CMSContext.CurrentDocument.DocumentName %>' InheritContent="true" />

what i want to do is allow the image to be editable and different on all but a few pages that meet the following condition. so in the usercontrol code behind i have this.

 protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs e)
    {
        if (CMSContext.CurrentDocument.NodeClassName == "document.class")
        {
           base.OnPreRender(e);
           BannerEditable.LoadContent(CMS.PortalEngine.PageInfoProvider.GetPageInfo(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, "/Products", CMSContext.CurrentDocumentCulture.CultureCode, null, true, CMS.DataEngine.ConnectionHelper.GetConnection()));
           BannerEditable.SaveContent(CMS.PortalEngine.PageInfoProvider.GetPageInfo(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, CMSContext.CurrentDocument.NodeAliasPath,CMSContext.CurrentDocumentCulture.CultureCode, null, true, CMS.DataEngine.ConnectionHelper.GetConnection()));
        }
    }

this will display the correct image in the cms edit mode but wont display on the live site until i click save.

i've tried using the node.update() as outlined here http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/update_document.htm

any ideas?

RE:Make editable image inherit on certain pages

Hi,

if you need to inherit a content of editable image web part control you can insert this web part on a some parent page and inherit from it. In Properties of document - Templates tab - Select inherited levels. Here you can define where the content (editable image) which should be inherited is. In other words - document which should inherit the image has to use a different template.

RE:Make editable image inherit on certain pages

Hi,

the path to image is stored in a DocumentContent field (CMS_Document table). Therefore you need to work with document API to store the image as you need. You will need to update the column if you would like to customize the behavior. You can follow this API example. Instead of NewsSummary column you need to work with DocumentContent:
Update Document
