CMSEditableRegion in WebPart - duplicate values

Hello,

Another quick question. I'm having issues with content being duplicated across CMSEditableRegion controls, when they are within custom CMSWebParts.

The scenario is, a user needs to add many of these custom CMSWebParts to the same portal placeholder; each WebPart is of the same type, each containing 2 CMSEditableRegions. These contain a header, and HTML Editor content. Simple.

Unfortunately in practice, the content of all CMSEditableRegions with the same ID (in codebehind) is the same.

Searching these forums, appears to be a potential workaround by manually manipulating the ID of each CMSEditableRegion prior to the control loading. Is this really necessary, or is there another control or technique I can use to avoid such a hack?

Thanks.

Hi Sandro,

thanks for your reply, and sorry for the delay (should subscribe to post)... we've worked around the issue with the really simple technique documented elsewhere in the forum, for reference:


public override void OnContentLoaded()
    {
        base.OnContentLoaded();
        SetupControl();
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Initializes the control properties
    /// </summary>
    protected void SetupControl()
    {
        if (this.StopProcessing)
        {
            // Do not process
        }
        else
        {
            whatever.ID = whatever.ID + base.ID;
         }
     }
