Changing CategoriesBlock

[stefan_zatloukal]

Hello guys,

in Standard CategoriesBlock-Control, there are the global variables

public bool ShowName = false;

public bool ShowImage = true;

public bool ShowDescription = false;

set to default values.

My question is how i can set ShowDescription to "true" if i use for example a clone of the OECCategoriesBlock-Plugin and want the Description to be visible?

thanks

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

I'm not completely sure I'm understanding what you are doing.

Normally, you will declare the control in the .aspx or .ascx as follows:

<%@ register tagprefix="np" TagName="cblock" src="controls/CategoriesBlock.ascx"%>

And use it on the page as follows:

<np:cblock id="npcblock" runat="server" Catalog="oec" ParentID="0" BorderWidth="0" CatsPerCol="2"
		ShowName="False" ShowImage="True" ShowDescription="True" />

This is the code from ~/catalog/categories.aspx.

So, all you should need to do is set the ShowDescription="True" on the .aspx that the control is on.
