News Repeater Template Issue

I'm working on an Intranet Site where I'm using a sidebar navigation rendered as part of my master page. The issue I'm having is that when I view the details of either a News Item or a Blog Post, the sidebar disappears. The sidebar renders fine in both the List Item and Add Item pages, but I can't seem to find any templates for these pages to see where the problem is. Any thoughts?

New Item with Sidebar

News List With Sidebar

Sidebar disappears when viewing item.


Member	davids-kentico - 12/12/2012 1:31:48 AM RE:News Repeater Template Issue Hi, This looks like an inheritance issue. A few things to check: - the news item and blog post pages inherit from the master page (properties -> template) - the menu web part on the master page is allowed to appear on subpages (web part properties -> Hide on subpages) Hope this helps.


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 12/12/2012 1:42:27 AM RE:News Repeater Template Issue To add to this - also please check the property Show for document types for the the side bar navigation web part. Best regards, Juraj Ondrus


Member	idorko - 12/12/2012 10:42:28 AM RE:News Repeater Template Issue I'm having the news item and blog post inherit from both my root master page and the department master page so I can get the site's main navigation as well, as shown below. Also the web part "Hide on subpages" is unchecked.


Member	idorko - 12/12/2012 10:47:54 AM RE:News Repeater Template Issue Also I've set the webpart to show for CMS.News and CMS.BlogPost and CMS.SimpleArticle, and still no dice.


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 12/13/2012 1:55:38 AM RE:News Repeater Template Issue Hi, Could you please describe us the tree structure of the items and also which item is using which page template and which item is what document type? Best regards, Juraj Ondrus

RE:News Repeater Template Issue

Hi,

Just to be sure - Root and Master in your post are the same, aren't they?

This seems just to some configuration issue - there must be something not set correctly - the inheritance or some of the menu web part properties. I would have to see it - is it possible to grant us with access to your CMS?

Best regards,
Juraj Ondrus


Member	idorko - 12/14/2012 10:29:59 AM RE:News Repeater Template Issue yeah, root and master are the same. Right now I'm just doing some local prototyping, but our CMS will eventually be an internally hosted intranet, so allowing outside access probably isn't going to happen...

Member	idorko - 12/17/2012 10:33:56 AM RE:News Repeater Template Issue sure, it's on the way.

RE:News Repeater Template Issue

I ended up solving the problem.
The path for the CSS List Menu used to generate the sidebar navigation was set to " ../ ", so when on the News Item the path was pointing News, and therefore had nothing to display.
Changing the path to

{%cmscontext.currentdepartment.nodealiaspath|(default).%}/%

per the Intranet Template, fixed the issue.


Member	Yehuda - 12/18/2012 1:40:31 PM RE:News Repeater Template Issue Wouldn't a path macro like /{0}/{1}/% work?
