Kentico Legend	Brenden Kehren - 12/2/2011 1:39:03 PM Visibility based on transformation I'd like to set the visibility on a webpart based on the transformation selected or being shown in a different webpart. Can this be done with a Macro if so, how? For instance I have an editable text webpart that I want to hide when someone clicks the details of a record in a datalist webpart.

RE:Visibility based on transformation

Hello,

I think the easiest way how to achieve this is through the NodeLevel property of a current document, because the selected item transformation is applied on documents on different level than your datalist webpart is located. So the visibility macro could look like the following one:

{%CurrentDocument.NodeLevel == 1;%}

Best regards,
Jan Hermann

RE:Visibility based on transformation

Thank you both for the replies. I"ve used both suggestions on my site. I used the NodeLevel == 1 as a visibility macro and also in the WebPart Container Hide on subpages as a macro and it works great. I used the Hide on subpages on any webpart I just don't want to show at all, like the editable text webpart.

Thanks for the assistance!
