Hi Jan,

Thanks for your quick answer. I followed your instructions, but i can't get it working. What did i do:

1. I created a custom transformation
2. I creatted the transformation the webpart in the custom transformation uses
3. I placed a repeater in the content zone and place the custom transformation in the transformation field

unfortunately there is no output. I know the transformation is working, because when i change the classname in custom transformation to a non-existing classname, the transformation crashes.

am i looking in the right direction?

Regards Jan Willem

What is the RelationshipName you are using in your code?

Hi Jan,

ReleationShipName:isrelatedto. See code below

<script runat="server" type="text/javascript">
  protected override void OnInit(EventArgs e)
    {
      Guid guid = ValidationHelper.GetGuid(Eval("NodeGuid"), Guid.Empty);
      dlLocations.RelationshipWithNodeGuid = guid;
      dlLocations.ReloadData(true);
      base.OnInit(e);
    }
</script>
<h2>Test</h2>
<div class="row">
  <cms:CMSRepeater ID="dlLocations" runat="server" Path="/Partners/%" RelationshipName="isrelatedto" ClassNames="MySiteName.partner" TransformationName="MySiteName.event.EventDetail.Participants.List" />
</div>

That's not correct. Pages field created randomly generated ad-hoc relationships. It should be something like custom.pagetype_846ca4e1-5d3f-46e4-99cd-af9afba173cb (CMS_RelationshipName)

If I understand you correctly, you can do the following:

You can create 2 different Relationship Types (aka RelationshipNames in Kentico language) smth like. "RelatedParticipants" and "RelatedOrginizingParicipants". Your current page will have bunch of related pages of these 2 types connected to it.

in the macro on this page you can do something like this: CurrentDocument.RelatedDocuments["RelatedParticipants"].WithAllData .ApplyTransformation("CMS.Root.MyParticipantsListing")

Create text/xml transfortmation MyParticipantsListing and you get values of the specific fields from "RelatedParticipants" and "RelatedOrginizingParicipants" documents simply using {%FieldName%}

P.S. WithAllData - can be quite slow depending on a number of relations defined .

Hi Peter,

Thanks for your reply. I followed the solution of Jan.

@Jan: Thanks for the solution. It works!! I looked up the relationshipname in the table CMS_RelationshipName

Thanks again!

On your custom page type try setting the field's data type to "text" and using the form control "Page Selector". This will allow only one page association per field and will store the GUID of the selected page. Then in a static text web part or any other macro field you can use this:

{%Documents.WithAllData.Where("NodeGUID='"+YourGuidFieldName+"'").FirstItem.DocumentName|(identity)GlobalAdministrator%}

if DocumentName works, you can replace it with you custom Logo field.

Note that this is dependent on page permissions, make sure the appropriate users have "Read" permission to the target page.
