Page Menu Item custom field in template

Guido Paolano asked on December 7, 2017 18:45

I would like to put a CSS class as a field on the menu item page type so that I don't have to make a new template for minor changes. I created a copy of the Page menu item type and added a "CSSClass" field to it. Then, on the template I have this: <div class= "<%# Eval("CSSClass") %>" > But it is empty.

Is this possible?

Thank you.

Thank you for the answers. The Macro Resolver still wasn't showing up for me, but the Document Context worked.

Thank you both!

You need to use macro: <div class= "{%CurrentDocument.GetValue("CSSClass")|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}" >

Is it possible using an ASCX layout type?

Are you trying to resolve macro in the ASCX transformation? <%= CMS.MacroEngine.MacroContext.CurrentResolver.ResolveMacros("{%CurrentDocument.CSSClass|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}")%>

Should also be able to do:

<%= CMS.DocumentEngine.DocumentContext.CurrentDocument.GetValue<string>("CSSClass", "DefaultValue") %>

May or may need the CMS.DocumentEngine portion of the above, since it may be already there, or you can use a <%@ Import Namespace="CMS.DocumentEngine" %> on top of the transformation
