| Jimmy Jazz 2005-11-23, 5:52 pm |
| Hi,
I need to get the data from the placeholders on a posting so I can perform
some maunual formatting. I thouight this was the way but it appears not
Channel.Posting.Placeholder.Datasource.RawContent;

| Hi Jimmy,
you should never use datasource.rawcontent.
See here for an explanation:
http://blogs.technet.com/stefan_gos.../24/119546.aspx
In addition your code below has a bug. Placeholders is a collection and not
an item.
You need to select the specific item to work on it.
Correct code would look like this:
HtmlPlaceholder htmlPh = Channel.Posting.Placeholders["phname"] as
HtmlPlaceholder;
string content = htmlPh.Html;
Cheers,
Stefan

| Hi Jimmy,
you are mixing up terms!
The code below accesses a placeholder object - not a placeholder control.
A placeholder is the item in the database while a placeholder control is a
rendering and edit engine - with other words a window to a placeholder.
The code below works independendly from the placeholder control. But if I
understand you right you would like to access the content in the placeholder
control and not the content in the placeholder object, right?
Then please use the Html property of the placeholder control. This will also
work for as well the telerik control and the standard
HtmlPlaceholderControl.
But the namespace of the object is different and you would need to use the
ID plus .Html.
Cheers,
Stefan

| Hi Stefan,
I am also using Telerik for image placeholders as well and need the src
attribute to format in my control. The HTML Placeholder does not have this
attribute.

| Hi Jimmy,
I haven't used the Telerik Control for this, but I assume you need to use
the identical methods to format your output.
Cheers,
Stefan

| Hi Stefan,
good: string Url =
((ImagePlaceholder)(CmsHttpContext.Current.Posting.Placeholders["Image"])).Src;
that way will not work as a incrrect cast excetion is thrown as the telerik
editor is a HtmlPlaceholder and that does not have a .src attribute

| Hi Jim,
if your placeholder object is an Html Placeholder you need to extract the
content from the Html tag.
Check the content and then extract the URL from where it is stored. Maybe
Telerik saves the link directly as an <img...> tag in the HtmlPlaceholder
object.
Cheers,
Stefan

| Hi Jim,
how does the resulting Url (the string you assigned to the ImageUrl) look
like?
Cheers,
Stefan

Thanks very much,
