Nested repeater showing all results

Hi Guys,

I am trying to create a nested repeater.

I have tried the below code in the parnet repeater's transformation but is not giving appropriate results:



Code: 1
<cms:CMSRepeater ID="RepeaterCourses" runat="server" ClassNames="Northtec.CoursePages" TransformationName="northtec.coursepages.northtec-courseslistinginprogrammes" Path=""+ Eval("NodeAliasPath") +"/%" SelectOnlyPublished="true" />

Output
[CMSDataProperties.LoadTransformation]: The server tag is not well formed

Code : 2
<cms:CMSRepeater ID="RepeaterCourses" runat="server" ClassNames="Northtec.CoursePages" TransformationName="northtec.coursepages.northtec-courseslistinginprogrammes" Path="/{0}/{1}/%" SelectOnlyPublished="true" />

Output:
Shows all the results of that document type.

Code 3:
<cms:CMSRepeater ID="RepeaterCourses" runat="server" ClassNames="Northtec.CoursePages" TransformationName="northtec.coursepages.northtec-courseslistinginprogrammes" Path="/Programme/Agriculture/%" SelectOnlyPublished="true" />

Output:
This gives me right results for only 1st category. By trying the 3rd code it proves that only the path is wrong everything else is fine.

Any ideas what mistake am I doing with the path.

Thanks
Gitesh Shah

Hello,

Could you please define your Path property like this:

<cms:CMSRepeater ID="RepeaterCourses" runat="server" ClassNames="Northtec.CoursePages" TransformationName="northtec.coursepages.northtec-courseslistinginprogrammes" Path="<%# Eval("NodeAliasPath") %>/%" SelectOnlyPublished="true" />

Best regards,
Jan Hermann

Certified Developer v7	Gitesh - 5/20/2012 10:09:20 PM RE:Nested repeater showing all results Hi Jan, One more issue now. How can I find that the child repeater is not having any values? e.g. Parent repeater will load the transformation only if it has any child nodes in it? Thanks Gitesh Shah


Kentico Support	kentico_janh - 5/21/2012 2:24:59 AM RE:Nested repeater showing all results Hello, You can set the HideControlForZeroRows property to true for your child repeater to hide it, if it doesn't contain any data: HideControlForZeroRows="true" Best regards, Jan Hermann
