Determines how information on the page is displayed.

None-databind only

ecmNavigation—lists the title of each content block

See Also: Using the Collection Server Control

ecmTeaser—lists the title of each content block plus the content summary

See Also: Using the Collection Server Control

ecmUnOrderedList—sorts the list in no particular order. Shows the title and content summary

Warning! If you specify an external file, it is strongly recommended that you do not store this file in your site's Workarea folder. If you store this file in the Workarea folder, the file will be lost when you upgrade.

Warning! If you enter a valid EkML file at the MarkupLanguage property, the Displayxslt property value is ignored.

LinkTarget

Defines the way a link acts when a link is clicked.

_blank—This target causes the link to always be loaded in a new blank window. This window is not named.

_self—This target causes the link to always load in the same window the anchor was clicked in. This is useful for overriding a globally assigned base target.

_parent—This target makes the link load in the immediate frameset parent of the document. This defaults to acting like "_self" if the document has no parent.

_top—This target makes the link load in the full body of the window. This defaults to acting like "_self" if the document is already at the top. It is useful for breaking out of an arbitrarily deep frame nesting.

# of seconds—CacheInterval

Sets the amount of time the server control’s data is cached. The default is 0 (zero). This is the amount of time, in seconds, a control’s data is cached. For example, if you want to cache the data for five minutes, set this property to 300 (three hundred). See Also: Caching with Server Controls

IncludeIcons

Choose whether to display icons next to the content list’s links.

Warning! This property only works when ecmSummary or ecmTeaser are used in the DisplayXslt property. When the [$ImageIcon] variable is used in an EkML file and that file is assigned to the MarkupLanguage property, this property acts as True.

 

MarkupLanguage

Identify the template markup file that controls the display of the content list. For example, mycontentlistmarkup.ekml.

If the *.ekml file is located in the same folder as the Web form containing the server control, just enter its name. If the file is in another folder, enter the path relative to site root. For example, ..\CMS400Developer\workarea\customfiles\

markup\mycontentlistmarkup.ekml.

See Also: Controlling Output with Ektron Markup Language and contentlist.ekml

When you select one, it appears in the center of the Visual Studio window.

ItemsControlId

Specify the id of the <span> or <div> tag you will use to format the display of taxonomy items.

TaxonomyCols

Enter the number of columns in which this taxonomy/category will appear on the page.

TaxonomyDepth

Enter the number of taxonomy levels to retrieve below each taxonomy/category. Only the top level is displayed in the control. The rest of the levels are available through XML in code behind. For example, if the taxonomy is Businesses > Restaurants > Pizza, and you set Taxonomy Depth to 2, only Business and Restaurants are available in code behind.

To retrieve the all of the categories for a taxonomy recursively, enter -1.

A depth greater than 1 or using -1 is only useful if you create a custom output using the Taxonomy’s XML.

The default value is 1

Warning! For a live site, Ektron strongly recommends leaving this value at 1. Increasing this value can slow down your live Web server. However, for testing on a staging server, you can increase the depth.

DynamicParameter

Gets or sets the QueryString parameter to read a content ID dynamically.

Link Target

Defines the way a link acts when it is clicked. The choices are:

_blank—loads the link in a new blank window. This window is not named.

_self—loads the link in the same window the anchor was clicked in. This is useful for overriding a globally assigned base target.

_parent—loads the link in the immediate frameset parent of the document. This defaults to acting like “_self” if the document has no parent.

_top—loads the link in the full body of the window. This defaults to acting like “_self” if the document is already at the top. It is useful for breaking out of an arbitrarily deep frame nesting.

MaxResults

Enter the maximum number of items to appear in the initial display of this server control.

To set no maximum, enter zero (0).

To let site visitors view more than the maximum but limit the amount of space being occupied, enter the maximum number of results per page here. Then, check the EnablePaging property box.

If you do and more than the number of MaxResults are available, navigation aids appear below the last item to help the site visitor view additional items. See example below.

 

EnableAjax

Check this box to enable Ajax searches. When enabled, the MaxResults property determines the maximum number of results per page.

Checked—Enable Ajax Search

Unchecked—Original HTML Search

EnablePaging

This property, in conjunction with the MaxResults property, lets site visitors view an unlimited number of taxonomy items while controlling the amount of screen space. To accomplish this, the taxonomy display is limited to the number set in the MaxResults property.

If you check this property box, and the number of taxonomy items exceeds the MaxResults number, navigation aids appear below the last item. The site visitor uses the aids to view additional items. See example below.

So, for example, if a taxonomy has 9 items and the MaxResults property is set to 3, the screen displays only the first three items. When the site visitor clicks [Next], he sees items 4, 5 and 6, etc.

Checked—enables paging

Unchecked—disables paging

Warning! If the EnablePaging property is set to True, the CacheInterval property is disabled.

TaxonomySearch

Check this box if you want a search box (shown below) to appear above this taxonomy display. A site visitor can use the search to find content within a taxonomy/category that includes terms of interest.

Checked—a search box appears above the taxonomy display

Unchecked—suppress the search box

 

DisplayXslt

IncludeIcons

Choose whether to display icons next to the metadatalist’s links.

Warning! This property only works when ecmSummary or ecmTeaser are used in the DisplayXslt property. When the [$ImageIcon] variable is used in an EkML file and that file is assigned to the MarkupLanguage property, this property acts as True.

 

Recursive

Determines whether the Display By Meta Value control uses this folder’s child folders.

EnablePaging

This property, in conjunction with the MaxResults property, lets site visitors view an unlimited number of taxonomy items while controlling the amount of screen space. To accomplish this, the taxonomy display is limited to the number set in the MaxResults property.

If you check this property box, and the number of taxonomy items exceeds the MaxResults number, navigation aids appear below the last item. The site visitor uses the aids to view additional items. See example below.

 

So, for example, if a taxonomy has 9 items and the MaxResults property is set to 3, the screen displays only the first three items. When the site visitor clicks [Next], he sees items 4, 5 and 6, etc.

Checked—enables paging

Unchecked—disables paging

Recursive

In the FolderID property, you specify a folder whose content is searched on this map. To extend the search to all folders below this folder, check this box.

Select Folder

Select a folder path to be searched. When a folder is selected, the folderID textbox is filled with that folder's id number. If you insert the Folder ID, you do not need to select a folder.

ButtonImgSrc

If you want to display an image on the submit button, enter the server path to it.

ButtonText

The text used for the button if no image source is identified. If an image source is identified, this is alternative text for the button.

DisplayXslt

Determines how the information on the page is displayed

None-databind only

ecmNavigation—lists the title of every content block in the folder

See Also: Using the Collection Server Control

ecmTeaser—lists the title of every content block in the folder plus the content summary

Warning! If you specify an external file, it is strongly recommended that you do not store this file in your site's Workarea folder. If you store this file in the Workarea folder, the file will be lost when you upgrade.

See Also: Using the Collection Server Control

PostResultsAt

Enter the Web form on which the search results will post.

To display results on the Web page from which the search was initiated, enter a pound sign (#) or leave the field blank.

Warning! A Web Search server control must exist on the posting page.

ResultTagId

Lets you designate where search results appear. You can place search criteria in one area of a Web form and the results in another.

For example, you have the following tag.

<span id=”results”></span>

In this case, enter results for the property value.

Stylesheet

Specify the location of the style sheet for the search results page. Set the location relative to the site root folder. For example: csslib\mytest.css.

Leave blank to use the default style sheet, \webroot\Workarea\csslib\global.css.

MarkupLanguage

Identify the template markup file that controls the display of the search results. For example, mysearchmarkup.ekml.

If the *.ekml file is located in the same folder as the Web form containing the server control, just enter its name. If the file is in another folder, enter the path relative to site root. For example, \CMS400Developer\workarea\customfiles\

markup\mysearchmarkup.ekml.

Note: Note: If you enter a valid EkML file, the Displayxslt property value is ignored.
