Change icon for search result display

Well, this is actually a good example for custom transformation method. You can implement one and as its parameter you send the NodeAliasPath of currently listed item. In the code you simply check what section it is and return the icon you need:

Hi Alan,

Also, you can write conditional expression in the transformation:

<%# Eval("NodeAliasPath").ToString().StartsWith("/home/content/dog", StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase) ? "dog.jpg" : "cat.jpg" %>

I will investigate the custom methods (this normally proves harder as my Visual Basic skills are minimal still). I have tried the conditional expression in the transformation and it gives an error of [CMSAbstractTransformation.DataBind]: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Hi Alan,

It's weird, looks like Eval method returns null. Could you check that you select NodeAliasPath column in your datasource? Or you can add only <%# Eval("NodeAliasPath") %> to check what this method returns.

Hi Anton, I have cleared out the entire transformation and used just the line as suggested and it displays no text at all in the results but shows there are 145 pages worth of results. I then changed the transformation to <%# SearchResultUrl() %><%# Eval("NodeAliasPath") %> and it the does show a list of results URLs as I would expect, /clinical-reference/canis/illustration/parsons-jack-russell-terrier /clinical-reference/canis/illustration/american-staffordshire-terrier Should that mean that rather usinhg the NodeAliasPAth I should be able to use your original code with SearchResultsURL instead?
