Web Part Layout Page markup

Regarding second question:

In your example your adding user control (not an actual web part), that web cart is created based on. As long as inherited web part is based on the same code files (https://docs.kentico.com/display/K9/Creating+inherited+web+parts) in fact it is same user control, so you'll add it like the first one.

There might be some options depending on what is the difference between original and inherited web part.

Roman,

I do understand that it is the same web part when it is inherited. I have read the documentation. But to add it as a user control, there is no mention or documentation on how to do that. If you have an example that would be great. I add user controls all the time, but I have no idea how to add the inherited user control.

The Web Part's main ascx file is, in effect, the default layout, which references the codebehind. Web Part Layouts are essentially the same thing. I have not done what you're trying to do, specifically, but I'm thinking you'll need to enable storage of virtual objects and reference the layout ascx file that's created for the layout you want to use.

Charles,

I've done this 2 ways in the past:

• Cloned the webpart and modified the default layout. This will then become the default layout no matter where you place it. You can then create additional layouts and select those as needed.
• Created a widget based on the webpart and in the widget you can tell it what layout to use. This requires you to have editor zones on your site though and if you don't want users to edit that, then you'll have to make sure you have permissions set properly.

Brenden,

Thanks for the input. I do, do it both those ways right now. I was looking for a solutions by which I could utilize a complete stock portal solution without cloning and creating any additional .ascx files. I am seeing that it really can't be accomplish without doing so.
