Custom Clone

Joshua Adams asked on December 26, 2014 22:21

I have a custom class that I am having to clone through code. Oddly enough, there is something that is making the name field into a codename, and I don't see where to control this. Because of this, my code for the clone fails, unless I take the name and take out all of the spaces and special characters, which I don't want to have to do because it should not be a codename. I have rebuilt the controlling class definition, and I don't see any property on the field that would make it a code name, as it uses the normal textbox form control with no validation rules. Could there be another place that this is managed?

Thanks in advance

Try ValidationHelper.GetCodeName(string) method, if I'm not mistaken. You can find more methods @ http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/8_0/api/html/AllMembers_T_CMS_Helpers_ValidationHelper.htm

The problem is that I don't want it to have to be a codename. I want it to behave like a normal textbox/string value. I am not sure whats causing it to try to validate it against a code name.

Hello Josh,

Is it a class belonging to a custom module or simply a page type?

If you were talking about a certain page type, you can check whether the field is not accidentally selected as a Page name source field in Page types -> (your page type) -> Fields -> Page name source field on the left side.

Best regards,

Filip
