Member	whiplash - 9/26/2012 10:14:10 AM best approach to add a link to a document in CMS.Event document type Hey Guys What would be the best approach to add a new link to a CMS.Event document type? To work similar to a document selector, so in my transformation I would pull out the field from the DB and have a repeater display all content ... Regards

RE:best approach to add a link to a document in CMS.Event document type

Hello,

I'm a little bit confused but if I get it right, try the following:

Login to CMSSiteManager -> Development -> Document types -> Event (edit) -> Fields -> Add new attribute (green plus icon) ... in the Form control type select Selector and in the Form control select Document Selector.

You can also take a look at the DevGuide: Document type properties - section Fields tab.

Is this what you want?

Best regards,
Martin Danko

Hi Martin

Thanks for replying ...

I have that set up, but I'm not sure exactly how to pull that document GUID out and apply it to a link .. which when clicked will navigate the user to the document.

<%# IfEmpty(Eval("EventFindOutMoreLink"), "", "<a href="+ GetDocumentUrl("EventFindOutMoreLink") +">" + Eval("EventFindOutMoreLinkText") + " »</a>") %></p>
