[CLOSED] MVC Portal / Portlet RenderExtPartial Issue

[paulc]

Hi,

I'm trying to load the content of each portlet in a portal by using Html.RenderExtPartial. Although this does render the content, it places it in the first column even though I have 3 columns defined.

I guess the target control Id is confused? Is there a better way to load the portlets?

Eventually I'd like to load these dynamically. It did cross my mind that a neat feature would be to extend AutoLoad so it can work in "PartialView" mode.

The View:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Master/PageStyle.Master"
    Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage<dynamic>" %>

<%@ Import Namespace="Ext.Net.MVC" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="HeadContent" runat="server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
    <ext:Viewport ID="Viewport1" runat="server" Layout="Fit">
        <Items>
            <ext:Portal ID="Portal1" runat="server" Border="false" Layout="Column" Stateful="true">
                <Items>
                    <ext:PortalColumn ID="PortalColumn1" runat="server" Cls="x-column-padding" ColumnWidth=".33"
                        Layout="Anchor">
                        <Items>
                            <ext:Portlet ID="Portlet1" runat="server" Title="Portlet 1">
                                <Content>
                                    <%= Html.RenderExtPartial("LogoPortlet") %>
                                </Content>
                            </ext:Portlet>
                        </Items>
                    </ext:PortalColumn>
                    <ext:PortalColumn ID="PortalColumn2" runat="server" Cls="x-column-padding" ColumnWidth=".33"
                        Layout="Anchor">
                    </ext:PortalColumn>
                    <ext:PortalColumn ID="PortalColumn3" runat="server" Cls="x-column-padding-right"
                        ColumnWidth=".33" Layout="Anchor">
                        <Items>
                            <ext:Portlet ID="Portlet3" runat="server" Title="Portlet 3">
                                <Content>
                                    <%= Html.RenderExtPartial("FeedPortlet") %>
                                </Content>
                            </ext:Portlet>
                        </Items>
                    </ext:PortalColumn>
                </Items>
            </ext:Portal>
        </Items>
    </ext:Viewport>
</asp:Content>

The LogoPortlet:

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" %>
<ext:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" Height="300" Title="Title" Header="true" Width="400">
    <Items>
    </Items>
</ext:Panel>

The FeedPortlet:

<%@ Control Language="C#" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewUserControl" %>
<ext:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" Height="300" Title="RSS Feed">
    <Items>
    </Items>
</ext:Panel>

Hi,

It is ID conflicts, in both user controls you use Panel1
