EditableText: GetContent not working on LiveSite

I have a custom webpart that contains three editabletext webparts.
When I invoke the method GetContent, I get always null.
Moreover, the method GetContent of the CMSControl ucEditableText (inside the webpart) returns null.
The following code fixes the issue, but i'd like not to use it:


var x = ucEditableText.FindControl("ltlContent") as Literal;
if (x != null)
	return x.Text;

How can I fix it? I tried to use the CMSEditableRegion, but it loses the current content of the editabletext webparts.

Many thanks

RE:EditableText: GetContent not working on LiveSite

Hello,

Please replace your code with following one to get required content:

string content = "";
if (CMSContext.CurrentDocument.DocumentContent.EditableRegions.ContainsKey(eR.ID))
{
content = CMSContext.CurrentDocument.DocumentContent.EditableRegions[eR.ID].ToString();
}

Where eR is an ID of your Editable Region control.

It's not working.
This is what I get debugging:


CMSContext.CurrentDocument.DocumentContent.EditableRegions	Count = 0
((Literal)WPEditableText.FindControl("ucEditableText").FindControl("ltlContent")).Text	"/vp/erechnung/de"

when invoked from the following extension method:


		  public static string GetEditableContent(this CMSAbstractEditableWebPart WPEditableText)
		  {
			  if (!WPEditableText.StopProcessing)
			  {
				  if (CMSContext.CurrentDocument.DocumentContent.EditableRegions.ContainsKey(WPEditableText.ID))
				  {
					  return CMSContext.CurrentDocument.DocumentContent.EditableRegions[WPEditableText.ID];
				  }




				  //var ucEditable = WPEditableText.FindControl("ucEditableText");
				  //if (ucEditable != null)
				  //{
				  //   var x = ucEditable.FindControl("ltlContent") as Literal;
				  //   if (x != null)
				  //      return x.Text;
				  //}

				  //ucEditable = WPEditableText.FindControl("ucEditableImage");
				  //if (ucEditable != null)
				  //{
				  //   var x = ucEditable.FindControl("ltlContent") as Literal;
				  //   if (x != null)
				  //      return x.Text;
				  //}

				  //return WPEditableText.GetContent();
			  }

			  return null;
		  }

Why doesn't the basic EditableText webpart return its content when I invoke its method GetContent()???
I'm using a migrated version of Kentico from 5.5 to 7.

RE:EditableText: GetContent not working on LiveSite

Hello,

I have tested it and I am getting content as expected. Anyway, there is another approach, how to get a content from PageInfo object:


PageInfo pageInfo = PageInfoProvider.GetPageInfo(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, CMSContext.CurrentDocument.NodeAliasPath, "en-US", null, true);
if (pageInfo != null)
{
        // Get the content
        string content = ValidationHelper.GetString(pageInfo.EditableWebParts["editableRegion_ID"], "");
}

Best regards,

RE:EditableText: GetContent not working on LiveSite

This way works.
Here is the final version of the extension method:

		  public static string GetEditableContent(this CMSAbstractEditableWebPart WPEditableText)
		  {
			  if (!WPEditableText.StopProcessing)
			  {
				  PageInfo pageInfo = PageInfoProvider.GetPageInfo(CMSContext.CurrentSiteName, CMSContext.CurrentDocument.NodeAliasPath, "en-US", null, true);
				  if (pageInfo != null)
					  return ValidationHelper.GetString(pageInfo.EditableWebParts[WPEditableText.ID.ToLower()], "");
			  }

			  return null;
		  }

In the future versions, may you let the method GetContent() work also when in LiveMode?

Many thanks for your support

Emanuele
