Page Builder not showing

lawrence whittemore asked on February 26, 2021 17:21

I'm struggling to get the page builder to show. I feel like i have everything in place but nothing shows. No errors I just get an empty div in the code <div data-kentico-widget-zone=""></div>

Do I have to have page builder controls built first? or can you just plug in a widget?

I assume you've done all these steps:

Did you already develop a section to be used in the zones?

I have not developed any sections for it yet. Was assuming I could start with basic kentico widgets like the form widget.

I figured it out for this particular install. needed this maxUrlLength="512" <system.web> <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.7.2" /> <httpRuntime targetFramework="4.7.2" maxUrlLength="512" /> </system.web>

Now i have to figure out what is going on in a different install.

and after some looking around I got what I needed to work. What is the difference between these two.

 @Html.Kentico().WidgetZone()
 @Html.Kentico().EditableArea("area1")

the second seems to work, but the first does not.

Hi Lawrence,

The Xperience 13 Documentation explains the difference between widget zones and editable areas.

There's an image which demonstrates the difference too:
