Hi Dw,

 

It would be very nice to have access to the values from the websites settings in the paragraphs.

Right now they are only accessible on page level.

 

Please output the custom values from the item type - e.g.:

<!--@Item.Area.Id-->
<!--@Item.Area.Js_Datoformat-->
<!--@Item.Area.Js_Language-->

 

Best regards, Anders

Great idea! We've just implemented this and it will be available in the next hotfix release.

Best regards,
Mikkel

Everywhere in paragraph and module templates.

Mmm, maybe I was a bit to fast with that +1 there :)

 

Has anyone had any luck making this work? It doesn't seem to work no matter what I do... The tag doesn't render and it doesn't appear in DwTemplateTags either.

The preview release of our new Solution Set [http://solutionset2013.dynamicweb.dk/] makes extensive use of this functionality and it works like a charm.

Can you provide details on where it does not work?

Best regards,

Hi Mikkel

If the item tags are global, they should probably be available in the navigation XML? Right?

The Item tags are not outputtet by the "DwTemplateTags" in a paragraph, but the values are replaced in the paragraph - so no problem, but it would be nice to have it outputtet together with the DwTemplateTags in the paragraphs.

 

Best regards, Anders

Hello,

Sorry to unearth such an old thread, but I cannot get this to work. I want to use custom website settings on ecom templates.

When I put this on the page, I get the value correctly (it also appears in the templatetags) :

@GetString("Item.Area.MySetting")

But when I copy/paste it inside my module template, I get an empty string. I've tried outputting the value directly, assigning it to a string variable before outputting it, and even use the html syntax, but no luck.

Is there something I'm missing ?

 

Thank you !

Hi Gaetan,

 

Do you use Razor-templates or regular DW-templates?

 

Best regards, Anders

Hi,

I use Razor templates in this case. That being said, I have tried to use an html template to check if the problem was tied to this, and then the tag simply isn't translated at all, it displays like that in the page :

<!--@Item.Area.MySetting-->

Hi Gaetan,

 

You should use the api instead as this:

@Pageview.Area.Item["MySetting"]
