Ensuring that the correct Container Code is in your template.ascx files

This is a common question... "I can't add any modules in the Left Side column. But I can see the left hand column and my ASCX file has a DIV that I know is the Left column. What am I doing wrong?"

If you unfamiliar with using CMS templates, you need to check that you have included the container code correctly. This is required to extract module information from the database. You may have added a DIV for styling purposes, but not the container code that needs to go inside the design DIV. For example:

<div id="LeftSide">
<contegro:Container id="LeftSide" runat="server"></contegro:Container>
</div>

I'm moving a banner module above a content module, but the 'up' arrow doesn't move it. Why not?

The content module will not have arrows. This means the Content module is ‘locked’ in the Template Manager and other modules cannot be moved above it.

Favicon Support for Microsites

Contegro supports favicons for multi-sites. To setup a favicon, simply place the 'Favicon.ico' file within the _icons folder within the Images folder.

/Images/sitename/_Icons/favicon.ico

The Footer 'rides-up- and appears over the bottom of the content container

The MainWrapper in the Template.css need 'clearing'. Use the following code on the template. (Adjust the classes to suit your design).

#mainWrapper:after {
content: ".";
display: block;
height: 0;
font-size: 0;
clear: both;
visibility: hidden; }

#mainWrapper {
display: inline-block;
width: 100%;
height: auto; } /* Hides from IE Mac \*/ *

html #mainWrapper {
height: 1%; }

#mainWrapper {
display: block; } /* End hide from IE-mac */

Adding a Menu Label into a Template

This trick is handy, when you want to add the Menu Label of a page into the template.ascx file.

<div>
<%= Contegro.Core.ContegroContext.Current.CurrentMenu.MenuLabel %>
</div>
