Hi,
I would recommend looking at/copying the content area rendering from Alloy and remove things you don't need.
Alternatively you could render the content area yourself and render the blocks using an EPiServer:ContentRenderer control but eventhough it may seem like more work at first I think the solution in Alloy is the way to go as you won't be reinventing content area rendering (which included circular reference checks etc), just modifying it.
I'm in my first EPi7 project and probably miss some basic knowlege regarding rendering of ContentAreas and ContentReference.
I have a fairly simple task - I would like to render three "Teasers" on one row. Decided I would use the new EPiServer Blocks for this and created a ContentArea (on PageType model) to hold these. I also created a simple BlockType and BlockControl to for viewing block.
Then I used the:
<EPiServer:Property ID="pArea" PropertyName="TeaserContentArea" runat="server" />
Shows my blocks in one long row.
But what if I want every third block to be shown in new row, which is the simlest way to accomplish this?
I also seen there was a EPiBoost package which extended EPiServer ContentArea rendering with "ItemsPerRow", unfortunately this is made for MVC and I'm using webforms in my project.
I also know the Alloy example project has overwritten the ContentArea rendering and I could probably try to use that as a base but it's far more complicated then what I'm trying to accomplish, is this really the right way to go?
