RE:Load WebPart Or Widget By ID

Hello,

you could create on ASPX page with all possible web parts/widgets. All of them would have the Visibility property configured like this:
http://devnet.kentico.com/FAQs/Web-parts---Controls/How-to-show-hide-webpart-on-specific-document-with.aspx
There would be a query macro instead of context macro (cmscontext.currentdocument.documentname). More information about macros is here: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/appendix_a___macro_expressions.htm

For example it could look like:

{%id == "1"%}

Every web part/widget will have a different number of id in Visibility property. Then if you call the URL with the id query string it displays only the one requested web part/control.

RE:Load WebPart Or Widget By ID

Hi,

if you are using ASPX templates you may not use the widgets. Otherwise, the approach may be the same as mentioned. You place the web parts (controls) on the page template and set up the visibility of controls according the query string in the code behind of page.

For example:
if (ValidationHelper.GetString(Request.QueryString["ReturnURL"], "") == controlID.ID)
controlID.Visible = true;

(Visible property should be false for all controls by default.)

More information about developing ASPX templates is here: http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/creating_a_new_aspx_page_template.htm

RE:Load WebPart Or Widget By ID

Hello,

1. adding web parts on ASPX page templates:
You may add the Kentico controls to Visual Studio toolbox:
http://devnet.kentico.com/Blogs/Thomas-Robbins/October-2009/Adding-Kentico-CMS-Controls-to-the-Toolbox.aspx

or find the path to controls in:

Site manager -> Development -> Web parts -> <edit> -> General -> File name

and register them as new controls on your template. All of them are in CMSWebParts folder.

If you are using ASPX templates you may not add web parts in CMSDesk (only Portal engine can). Please see here for more details:
http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/portal_templates_vs_aspx_templates.htm

2. Article list
Please check if you defined these properties:
Path
ClassNames
TransformationName
SelectedItemTransformationName

I would recommend you to install the sample Corporate site ASPX and go through the tutorial for ASPX templates:
http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/tutorial_aspx/index.html

I hope it will help.

Best regards,
Helena Grulichova

RE:Load WebPart Or Widget By ID

Hi helena.

I'm little confused here.

How can i add all the widgets on the Page? and the question is why do i add all the controls. Can't i just use the id or name to get control on runtime?

I created the aspx templete as you mentioned above.

Kindly can you tell me please, what i do to call any widget on page by passing a query string.

Thx,
Mujeeb.


Member	Mujji - 1/18/2010 1:47:46 AM RE:Load WebPart Or Widget By ID Help us out here Helena. We want to add the built-in CMS widgets like Clock, Articles, National Geo.... into our webpage. How can we accomplish that? Thx, Mujeeb.

RE:Load WebPart Or Widget By ID

Hello Mujeeb,

First of all, the widgets do not work with ASPX templates only with Portal engine. You say you use the ASPX templates so you may not use the widgets.

The widgets neither web parts cannot be called by ID from query string directly. The ID is related to the concrete instance of control. The web parts are controls. (Widgets are web parts with limited properties.)

In every way you need to create the instances of controls - either create them dynamically or have all of them directly in the code and set their visibility. If the control is invisible it does not appear in rendered HTML code. I think the approach with visibility is more clear.
