Conditional Wrapping Content for Editable Text WebPart

I want to setup an EditableText web part for my content authors on a page, if they do specify text, I want to wrap the content of the web part in some HTML. Namely an H2 Tag and a span used to set a line before the text of the control. If there is NO text specified in the EditableText web part, then the wrapping text does not get displayed. I know I can do script for the Wrapper sections, but how can I check for the current control's content being empty?

RE:Conditional Wrapping Content for Editable Text WebPart

Hello,

You could use CMSAbstractWebPart class for setting Content Before and Content after properties for a certain Editable text web part and CMSContext.CurrentPageInfo.EditableItems["editabletext"] to get the current text content of EditableText web part.

Here is an example of using it in the code:

// Get Editable Text web part 
CMSAbstractWebPart EditableTextWebPart = this.PagePlaceholder.FindWebPart("editabletext");

// Check text content of Editable text web part
if (CMSContext.CurrentPageInfo.EditableItems["editabletext"] != "")
{
  // Set Content before and Content after properties
  EditableTextWebPart.ContentBefore = "<h2>Some content before</h2>";
  EditableTextWebPart.ContentAfter = "<h2>Some content after</h2>";
}
else
{
  // Set Content before and Content after properties to empty
  EditableTextWebPart.ContentBefore = "";
  EditableTextWebPart.ContentAfter = "";
}

Best regards,
Filip Ligac
