Your ListTemplate value must start with "ItemPublisher/List/", e.g. ItemPublisher/List/nearestplace.cshtml (cf. http://templates.dynamicweb.com/TemplateTags/Dynamicweb-template-tags/Module-tags/Item-publisher/Item-Render.aspx).

Ok, I tried changing this path but unfortunately it doesn't work either. The template appears just fine whether or not I place the template in the ItemPublisher-folder or not.

I suspect that the problem is that I'm using an ItemList, and I don't have a method to select the precise ItemList - like ListSourceItemList = 1 instead of ListSourceArea = 1.

Is RenderList able to render an ItemList?

RenderList works just like the item publisher (module) and can only render items used as pages or paragraphs.

Items used in item lists are conceptually a part of the containing item and therefore it does not make sense to render them outside the context of the containing item.

Ok, so there is a logical explanation then.

However, then again I think it's a shame that you cannot maintain a central Itemlist which you can then render in whatever template. :-)

Thank you for answering me

You can maintain a list of items that you can render in any template. Just create a list of item based pages or paragraphs somewhere, e.g. in a folder or an hidden page, and publish these items using @RenderList. 

Got it - I modified the code and the item. It works now with the following:

@RenderItemList(new { ItemType = "Department_Facts", ListSourceType = "Page", ListSourcePage = Base.ChkInteger(Pageview.Area.Item["PointsOfInterestPageID"].ToString().Replace("Default.aspx?ID=", "")), ItemFieldsList = "*", ListPageSize = 4, ListOrderBy = "Created", ListTemplate = "NemLejeV2/poi.cshtml", IncludeParagraphItems = true });

Cool. You should consider using the "Select only page or paragraph ID" option to get rid of all the Replace stuff inside ListSourcePage.

Hi again,

I did that, but that feature only seems to work when I select a certain paragraph. It doesn't work when I select a page. I don't like the Replace-crap either :-)
