Site map : title attribute is not displayed on links

[jocelyn payneau]

Hello,

I don't manage to display the title attribute on links. Here is my html code:

<telerik:RadSiteMap runat="server" ID="RadSiteMap1" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
    DataFieldID="SiteMapId" OnNodeDataBound="RadSiteMap1_NodeDataBound"
    DataFieldParentID="ParentID" DataNavigateUrlField="NavigateUrl" DataTextField="SiteMapTitle" ShowNodeLines="false" >
    <DataBindings>
        <telerik:RadSiteMapNodeBinding NavigateUrlField="NavigateUrl" />
    </DataBindings>
    <LevelSettings>
        <telerik:SiteMapLevelSetting Level="0">
            <ListLayout RepeatColumns="2" AlignRows="true" />
        </telerik:SiteMapLevelSetting>
    </LevelSettings>
</telerik:RadSiteMap>

<asp:SqlDataSource runat="server" ID="SqlDataSource1" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection %>"
    SelectCommand="SELECT SiteMapId, ParentID, SiteMapTitle, NavigateUrl, SortOrder, SiteMapTitle as Tooltip FROM [SiteMap]">
    <SelectParameters>
        <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="1" Name="SiteMapId" Type="Int32" />
    </SelectParameters>
</asp:SqlDataSource>

and my server code:

protected void RadSiteMap1_NodeDataBound(object sender, RadSiteMapNodeEventArgs e)
    {
        DataRowView nodeData = e.Node.DataItem as DataRowView;
        e.Node.Target = "_self";

        e.Node.ToolTip = nodeData["Tooltip"].ToString(); ;
    }

Thanks for your answers

Hi jocelyn payneau,

The problem is that you are trying to add an ALIAS to the SiteMapTitle in the SQL Select Statement. Try the following as an alternative to set the Tooltip equals the SiteMapTitle:

Remove the alias from the SQL SelectCommand:

<asp:SqlDataSource runat="server" ID="SqlDataSource1" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:DefaultConnection %>"
            SelectCommand="SELECT SiteMapId, ParentID, SiteMapTitle, NavigateUrl, SortOrder, SiteMapTitle as Tooltip FROM [SiteMap]">
            <SelectParameters>
                <asp:Parameter DefaultValue="1" Name="SiteMapId" Type="Int32" />
            </SelectParameters>
        </asp:SqlDataSource>

C#: 

protected void RadSiteMap1_NodeDataBound(object sender, Telerik.Web.UI.RadSiteMapNodeEventArgs e)
    {
        DataRowView nodeData = e.Node.DataItem as DataRowView;
        e.Node.Target = "_self";

        e.Node.ToolTip = nodeData["Title"].ToString() + " ";
    }

 
Markup remains the same.

Please let me know if this was helpful.

Kind regards,
