Member	gliker-inorbital - 8/30/2011 2:16:09 PM Wrap transformation in code Hi, I created news transformation that repeats news items. I would like to wrap all results like this: <div class="news"> all news items should be here </div>. Is there a way to achieve this other than using webpart container? Preferably I would like to add necessary code inside transformation. Thanks

If you want to wrap all items within once only and not every single item, you need to place this code outside of transformation code. So Content before / Content after properties is very proper place for this goal. Best Regards, Radek Macalik

RE:Wrap transformation in code

Thanks Radek,

If I use content before/after then I have to have two webparts for same news items, because I have two different designs, one for landing page and one for content pages, or I would have to add content before and after manually when webpart is embedded.

I managed to achieve what I was looking for using nested repeaters. Now all I have to do is chose transformation once and code behind/after will be automatically added. Plus, this way webpart will change text to appropriate culture automatically which means I can use same template for both languages.

Thanks,
Giuliano

Just for information to other customers, more info about nesting controls (also with simple example) can be found on http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/controls/cms_listings_and_viewers_using_nested_controls.htm Best Regards, Radek Macalik
