RADRotator Inside AJAX Tab Container

[Karl]

Hi,

As a newbie to the RAD controls having just recently purchased them i am having issues displaying a RAD Rotator XML Feed inside an AJAX tab container. The first tab contains the XML feed in the rotator, the second tab has a rad textbox (which i can see no probs), I just cannot view the XML feed on the page, yet if i view source the content is definitely there from the XML feed.....is there any issue that i dont know about using the RAD Rotator XML Feed with AJAX tab container? The rad rotator work without the tab containers being on the same page.

 

<div id="page_content_home">
        &nbsp;
    <cc1:TabContainer ID="tcHomePage" runat="server" CssClass="sales_tabs_home" ActiveTabIndex="0">

        <cc1:TabPanel ID="tpNews" runat="server">
            <contenttemplate><br />
            <telerik:RadRotator ID="RadRotator1" runat="server" DataSourceID="xmlDataSource1" ScrollDirection="Up" ScrollDuration="2000" Width="450px" Height="330px"
             FrameDuration="1" InitialItemIndex="-1">
                 <ItemTemplate>
                            <div class="newsFeed">
                                <a href='<%# XPath("link") %>'>
                                    <%# System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode(XPath("title").ToString())%>
                                </a>
                                <br /><%# XPath("description") %><br />
                                <%# XPath("pubDate") %>
                            </div>
                        </ItemTemplate>

            </telerik:RadRotator>

Hi,

I have just tried to apply the RadTapStrip and then have a RadRotator inside this but exactly the same situation arises as before.....no information from the RSS feed appears on screen but when i view source all the RSS feed is evidently present.

Confused :)

[Karl]

any response from telerik? Is this a bug?

Hi Karl,

I used the provided code with a slight modification, but I was not able to reproduce the issue (I attached a screencapture of my test). The only difference in my project, from the code you provided, is that I added two additional properties in the RadRotator's declaration - ItemWidth and ItemHeight (the rotator was working without the properties being set, as well). These properties are important, and I recommend you set them in order to make the RadRotator control work correctly.
In this case, could you please open a new support ticket and send us a sample that reproduces the issue or modify the attached test project? Once I have a better view over the problem I will do my best to provide a working solution.

Best wishes,

Hi Fiko....Many thanks for your response.

I have tried setting the item width and item height and still the content of the rss feed via xml does not show within the rad rotator....and again the content is shown when i view source of the file.

One thing i perhaps did not mention is that there is a master page involved and within this sits the tab container and therein the rad rotator.

How do i go about attaching files for you to review? I have some screen shots and then the view source information as well as the default.aspx file.

I have submitted a support ticket for this.

Hello Karl,

You could not attach files to a forum thread.
I have handled your support ticket and found the files, thank you.

I have the same problem... it doesn't work under the Ajax Panel.

Hello Karl,
Unfortunately, we were not able to find the cause for the problem that Karl reported here. I checked the support thread that Fiko mentioned here, but there was no solution mentioned there as well - I suppose that Karl found a solution by himself at some point. That is why, could you please open a new support ticket and send us a simple running project that demonstrates your problem?

Kind regards,
