RE:Adding custom id for news

Hi,

Yes, that's possible. You can setup a page, named let's say "NewsDetails", and place here a repeater with transformation set to News detail transformation. Then you would use query string macro expression (denoted with questionmarks) for the "Where condition" property, in order to be like

NewsID = {%ID%}

(supposing you're using default News document with NewsID field)

In the news listing, you will also need to render the links not with the document name, but with the NewsDetails page path and querystring parameter with value based on the NewsID.

Zdenek C.

RE:Adding custom id for news

Well, it's really not so difficult.

You can create a transformation for your News document, let's say with name "NewsLinks".
In that transformation, which would be used in the Repeater for news list, you can build links like:

<a href="~/NewsDetail.aspx?ID=<%# Eval("NewsID") %>"><%# Eval("NewsTitle") %></a>
// you may need to use absolute path instead of "~" symbol.

Then, you would create a page with alias path .../NewsDetail (i.e. live url ".../NewsDetail.aspx").
In this page (template), you would use Repeater with transformation set to the "NewsDetail" transformation and in the Where condition property of the repeater, use simply a macro expression:

NewsID = {%ToInt(ID, "0")%}

Hope this will work for you...

RE:Adding custom id for news

Thank you for your reply, but I have some problems. I will describe here what I have been maked.

First I was maked page "newsdetail then in the development > document types i was created transformation in CMS.News document like this:

<div class="item">
<div class="article">
<div class="newslistMonth"> 
<%# GetDateTime("NewsReleaseDate", "dd MMM, yyyy") %></div>
<H3> <a href="/mnr/NewsDetail.aspx?ID=<%# Eval("NewsID") %>"><%# Eval("NewsTitle") %></a> </h3>
<div class="intro">
<div class="author"><%# Eval("NewsAutor") %></div>
<%# Eval("NewsSummary") %>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<div class="hr"><hr></div>

Then in the page named newsdetail i was added repeater with path to this page, document types to CMS.News and transformation to path where is this code up and in where condition: iwas added that code NewsID = {%ToInt(ID, "0")%}

Problem is thah I have blank page on this module
Where is my mistake???

RE:Adding custom id for news

Hi,

I'm not fully sure which path has been set for the news listing repeater and which for the detail page repeater, they should be the same...
The path in both repeaters should point to the node, whose child nodes are the news documents, e.g. something like "/News/%"
The where condition in the detail repeater then just limits the result to 1 news document only.
If you have the path set to the .../NewsDetail/ node, it's not correct, unless there are all the news documents underneath it.

The content structure may look like:
...
News (repeater with transformation for links, path set to "/News/%")
L...news 1
L...news 2
|...
...
NewsDetail (repeater with detail transformation, path set to "/News/%" and wherecondition with that newsID macro)
...

Hope this helps.

Regards,
Zdenek

RE:Adding custom id for news

I can't to fix this, let's start again

First of all I was created two transformation in news documents where
Document alias source field is set to NewsID

1. NewsListing
2. NewsDetail

In NewsListing transformation I was added this code

<a href="/KenticoCMS/News.aspx?ID=<%# Eval("NewsID") %>"><%# Eval("NewsTitle") %></a>

In NewsDetail transformation I was added this code

<h1><%# Eval("NewsTitle") %></h1>
<%# GetDateTime("NewsReleaseDate", "d") %><br/>
<%# IfEmpty(Eval("NewsTeaser"), "", GetImage("NewsTeaser")) %>
<%# IfEmpty(Eval("NewsSummary"), "", Eval("NewsSummary") + "<br />") %>
<%# Eval("NewsText") %>

Thats for this

Next in CMSDesk
I was created page name News.aspx with template name News
Under News .aspx I created my news1, news2, news3 documents with template NewsDetail

On the Page.aspx I was added Repeater with this settings

- Path: /News/%
- Document types: CMS.News
- ORDER BY expression: NewsReleaseDate DESC
- WHERE condition: NewsID = {%ToInt(ID, "0")%}
- Transformation: CMS.News.NewsListing
- Selected item transformation: CMS.News.NewsDetail

On the NewsDetail template I was added another Repeater for with this settings

- Path: /News/%
- Document types: CMS.News
- Selected item transformation: CMS.News.NewsDetail
- Select top N documents : 1

Is this OK configurations???

Thanks in advance

RE:Adding custom id for news

Hello,

Well, this setup is a little bit confusing for me...

First of all I don't know why you're setting Document alias source field to NewsID.
You don't use this anywhere then...

I think that the NewsDetail template should match the setup of the Page.aspx, because it selects only the specific News document using ID in querystring.

Also, when you're using two repeaters in separate pages, one for listing and one for details, usage of SelectedItemTransformation doesn't make sense. Please use only standard Transformation.

Also it's almost useless to define any template for particular News documents, when you won't be accessing them directly...
In the listing transformation, you're pointing to the News.aspx page with the ID parameter, so there should be the repeater displaying news details as well. It's pointing to the same location where the listing repeater is placed...
Therefore you have to arrange two repeaters in the same template for News.aspx page, and hide the listing repeater when there's any valid ID querystring parameter.

You can do this by macro in "Visible" property: {%ToInt(ID, "0") == "0"%}
This will hide the listing repeater when there's a valid ID.

Oppositely, you want to hide the detail repeater when the ID is not present... the Visible property could be then {%ToInt(ID, "0") != "0"%}

Please also use the WHERE condition from the Page.aspx definition in your detail page repeater and set the CMS.News.NewsDetail transformation as standard Transformation in this repeater. Top N doesn't have to be used, since where condition picks up only one document anyway.

Hope it makes sense.

Zdenek

RE:Adding custom id for news

Hi,

I'm afraid the querystring macro expression cannot be used in the code directly. It has to be resolved manually using appropriate API. If you want to get values out of the querystring, you can use QueryHelper.GetString or .GetInteger methods.

Anyway, I believe there is far easier way. You could just use the Where condition in the repeater or whatever listing web part (or control) in the NewsDetail.aspx page. There it should be possible to simply use the where condition with macro like you're trying in the code:

NewsID = {%ToInt(ID, "0")%}

Hope this will help.

Zdenek
