Custom Web Part in PageType

Can you explain what your webpart does? Typically you don't directly associate a webpart with a page type.

As Rui and Brenden mentioned you don't directly assign a web part to a page type.

You need to set up a Page template, connect it to your page. On the Page Template you can add and configure your Web Part.

Some documentation that might help you:

• docs.kentico.com/.../using-and-configuring-web-parts

My users want to be able to create pages with the need for me to create custom page templates each time so I was looking for a way for them to set two variable values(define what the page should display) during the page creation. The Page Type allows the users to set these values.

So it sounds like I need to create a PageTemplate without properties that I currently use for my custom webpart and set the PageType to use this PageTemplate. I will give it a try.

I am getting an error "The Controls collection cannot be modified because the control contains code blocks". My guess is this is related to the lines where I am trying to grab the variables in javascript like this: var seminarType = '<%= CMS.DocumentEngine.DocumentContext.CurrentDocument.GetValue("SeminarType") %>';

Thanks for the help, Page seems to be working although I am having a problem with it not showing up in the navigation. Will look into that more tomorrow.
