[Solved] Can you put the tabstrip in a master page?

[William Brown]

Hello,

I have been trying to put my tabstrip in a master page used by a set of 10 pages.   I haven't been able to get it to work with the

[

PopulateSiteMap(SiteMapName = SitemapHelper.AdminSiteMapKey, ViewDataKey = SitemapHelper.AdminSiteMapKey)] code.   Can this be done?

Thanks,

Bill

Hi William Brown,

You can easily achieve your goal if you put TabStrip component in the master page and register required sitemap into SiteMapManager. Current version of Telerik Components for ASP.NET MVC does not required PopulateSiteMap attribute if the sitemap is registered in SiteMapManager. For your convenience I have attached a simple test project which shows how to accomplish this task.

You should also verify that the controller and action names are accessible, otherwise the binding will fail.

Hi Georgi,

Thanks for the project.  When I run it the tabs are difficult to test since they each just redirect to your website.  If I change the site map to contoller and action name, will it keep the correct tab highlighted without additional code?  Again, I appreciate the quick response and sample project!  Thanks for your support.

I changed the sitemap to:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
  <siteMap>
    <siteMapNode title="Home" controller="Home" action="Overview">
      <siteMapNode controller="Home" action="Index" title="Home" />
      <siteMapNode controller="Account" action="Register" title="Register" />
      <siteMapNode controller="Tab123" action="Index" title="Tab123" />
    </siteMapNode>
</siteMap>

Tab works great.  Thanks again for the solution, all works great!
