Using CMSListMenu outside CMS Project

Hi,

Using the information from the doc:
http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/6_0/devguide/index.html?using_api_and_cms_controls_outside_cms_project.htm
I was able to add a CMSListControl to a project outside our CMS and have the control display our menu. The problem I am running into it that the links are not resolving correctly.
ie. They are resolving to http://cmshost/pagename instead of http://cmshost/context/pagename

The doc shows how to use a transform to fix the url's for displaying a news item using cms repeater but it doesn't seem to apply for the cmslistmenu. Is there anyway to change how the base url is resolved for the cmslistmenu?

Thanks,
Neil

RE:Using CMSListMenu outside CMS Project

Hi,

The construction of the menu structure cannot be controlled by a transformation from outside, so the rendered links depend on the context (the virtual path), where this menu control is used. Placing it into the correct path can change the links, but it's certainly not very flexible.

Another option would be to modify the code of the standard web part and change the paths (e.g. by a string replace operation) in the RenderedHTML property, that is accessible in the inner control used in the web part.

Regards,
Zdenek
