Transformation for CMS Repeater returning wrong culture URL

I'm using a CMSRepeater Control to build my blog post list page.

When I'm in the second language version I load a different transformation and set the CultureCode on the CMSRepeater to the right culuture code.

This is the transformation for the second language:


<div class="blogPost">
  <h2>
    <a href="<%# GetDocumentUrl() %>"><%# Eval("BlogPostTitle", true) %></a>
  </h2>
  <div class="blogCategories">
    Categorías: <%# Eval("DocumentTags", true) %>
  </div>

<%# IfEmpty(Eval("BlogPostTeaser"), "", "<div class=\"blogImage\"><img alt=\"" + Eval("BlogPostTitle") + "\" src=\"" + GetFileUrl("BlogPostTeaser") + "\" /></div>") %>
  <div class="BlogPBody TextContent">
    <%# Eval("BlogPostSummary") %> ... <a href="<%# GetDocumentUrl() %>">MAS</a>
  </div>
  <div class="floatRight">
      <span class='st_facebook_large' displayText='Facebook' st_url="<%# Request.Url.Scheme + "://" + Request.Url.Host + GetDocumentUrl() %>"></span>
      <span class='st_twitter_large' displayText='Tweet' st_url="<%# Request.Url.Scheme + "://" + Request.Url.Host + GetDocumentUrl() %>"></span>
      <span class='st_googleplus_large' displayText='Google +' st_url="<%# Request.Url.Scheme + "://" + Request.Url.Host + GetDocumentUrl() %>"></span>   
  </div>
  <div class="clearfix"></div>  
</div>

It is being used properly and the repeater is pulling only the documents in this culture, but GetDocumentURL() inside of it is giving me the wrong culture's URL to the posts.

for example it's giving me


http://hostname/the-blog/april-2012/blog-post

rather than


http://hostname/el-blog/abril-2012/blog-posto

What do I need to do to fix this? I don't see anything in the documentation on how to force it to the right URL scheme.

Hello,

Yes, but when you click on that link, you get the right culture version of that document, don't you? Anyway, you don't have to use the GetDocumentURL() method and you can build up that link by yourself and by document's properties like:

<a href="~<%# NodeAliasPath %>">...</a>

RE:Transformation for CMS Repeater returning wrong culture URL

I actually get the English version of the post when I click that link. I have it set to use the document alias path as the URL for the document.

It seems like a bug that GetDocumentUrl() doesn't respect the culture code passed into the repeater

I'll try using the nodealiaspath and see if that works

RE:Transformation for CMS Repeater returning wrong culture URL

Hello,

The behavior of the GetDocumentURL method is a bit different than I have mentioned before. The GetDocumentURL() method takes a Document alias of a current rendered document and creates a link to this alias (which is same for all culture versions of your document and the content is displayed according to set culture cookie) if the Custom URL path property is not filled for a document. So you can fill a different path for a different culture version of your document and this path will be rendered as a link for this document.

Kentico Support	kentico_janh - 4/30/2012 7:59:58 AM RE:Transformation for CMS Repeater returning wrong culture URL Hello, So where is the problem? Aren't your documents available on that url? All your culture versions of that document should be available on that prefilled url. Best regards, Jan Hermann

RE:Transformation for CMS Repeater returning wrong culture URL

The english version of this particular document has the alias path that you see in this screenshot.

using GetDocumentURL() in the transformation for the repeater control gives me the ENGLISH URL which leads to the ENGLISH Content rather than the SPANISH url which would lead me to the SPANISH content. The rest of the content that the repeater control returns is valid. It's retreiving the spanish documents and transforming them properly aside from the GetDocumentURL() method.
