Passing in values when rendering blocks

James Wilkinson

We have a block which in the view has a div class which requires an ID. E.G:

Some content inside my block

The block sits in a content area which is rendered from it's parent view using

Html.PropertyFor().

My question is, that block1 id needs to increment in the view for each block - what's generally the best practice to achieve this?

Hi James,

You may build your own ContentAreaRenderer to control the surrounding divs, check this: http://blog.tech-fellow.net/2015/06/11/content-area-under-the-hood-part-3/

Or use this AddOn if you use Bootstrap

This is perfect sample on how to use block's ID to add it to the wrapping elements: http://blog.tech-fellow.net/2015/09/07/create-episerver-site-menu-out-of-block-driven-content/

It was needed for generating menus out of page content.

Luc, that package has nowadays pretty much nothing in common with Bootstrap ;)
