Hi guys,

I am trying to replace a block in the MasterpageFooterContent.

I have tried to follow the guidelines in the documentation but whatever I do, it does not seem to replace the block.

I am probably doing something wrong.

Considering that I am using a standard Rapido with DW 9.6.3 and I am trying to replace the block for the first colum in the footer, here is my code:

@{
  BlocksPage masterBlocksBlocksPage = BlocksPage.GetBlockPage("Master");
  Block masterFooterColumnOneCustom = new Block
  {
   Id = "MasterFooterColumnOne",
   SortId = 10,
   Template = RenderFooterColumnCustom(footerColumnOneHeader, footerColumnOneContent)
  };
   masterBlocksBlocksPage.ReplaceBlock(masterFooterColumnOneCustom);
}

What am I doing wrong?

Thank you,
Adrian

Hi Adrian

Thank you for writing. I have tested your setup, and sadly I found a small bug in the Master template on Rapido 3.1

It has this new code, that tests if the custom blocks file for the master exists:

@if (File.Exists(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/MasterBlocks/Custom__Blocks.cshtml")))
{
<text>@Include("MasterBlocks/Custom__Blocks.cshtml")</text>
}

It should have been:

@if (File.Exists(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("/Files/Templates/Designs/Rapido/MasterBlocks/Custom__Blocks.cshtml")))
{
<text>@Include("MasterBlocks/Custom__Blocks.cshtml")</text>
}

I will secure that this will be in the next hot-fix release, and carefully go through all the Custom__Blocks.cshtml references. Until then, you can safely fix it by replacing the broken code.

Best regards

Hi Karsten,

You probably have noticed it already but I found the same issue with a different include on another file.
On cleanlayout.cshtml the check to include the file Components/Custom/Custom__Components.cshtml is also missing /Files/Templates/Designs/Rapido from the MapPath method.

Thanks,
BR, Mario
