Specify embedded template in public event control?
How can I specify an embedded template path for the event list control (screenshot attached)? I can only create markup, but I want to use an existing embedded template in one of my custom assemblies. Is there a way to do this?
Hi Basem,
You can add your embedded resource in the template selector of the events control using the PageManager to create a ControlPresentation persistent object and committing it to the DB. Here is an example:
var manager = PageManager.GetManager();var template = manager.CreatePresentationItem<ControlPresentation>(Guid.NewGuid());template.DataType = Presentation.AspNetTemplate;template.Name = "My embedded template";string controlType = typeof(Telerik.Sitefinity.Modules.Events.Web.UI.Public.MasterView).FullName;template.ControlType = controlType;template.AreaName = "Events";//Here you have to specify '~/SFRes/' + 'the fullname of the embedded resource'. The '~/SFRes/' constant will invoke the Virtual Path Provider for embedded resources when the templateName is being resolved.template.EmbeddedTemplateName = "~/SFRes/Telerik.Sitefinity.Resources.Templates.Frontend.Events.TitlesCitiesDatesSummariesView.ascx";//And here the assembly where your embedded resource is.template.ResourceAssemblyName = "Telerik.Sitefinity.Resources";template.IsDifferentFromEmbedded = false;manager.SaveChanges();
