DisplayXslt

Determines how information is displayed on the page. Enter the path to the XSL file. It can be relative or absolute.

Warning!   If you specify an external file, it is strongly recommended that you do not store this file in your site's Workarea folder. If you store this file in the Workarea folder, the file will be lost when you upgrade.

Warning!   If you enter a valid EkML file at the MarkupLanguage property, the DisplayXslt property value is ignored.

DoInitFill

By default, Fill occurs during the Page_Init event. Set to false if you want to postpone the fill-action until later. In this case, FIll is automatically called during the Page Render event.

You might do this if you need to set or change a property on the control in codebehind and have it render with your changes shown.

Hide

Used to hide output of the control in design time and run time.

True = Hide control

False = Display control

Language

Set a language for viewing the CommunityGroupList control. The language property shows results in design-time (in Visual Studio) and at run-time (in a browser).

Link

Add a link to the group’s profile page. This allows a user to click a link in the community group list and be taken to the group’s profile page. The link includes these two variables.

{0} - represents the group’s ID.

{1} - represents the group’s name.

The link requires both variables. The Web form can be relative or absolute. Below is an example.

groupprofilepage.aspx?gid={0}&gn={1}

_Self - opens in same window

_Top - opens in parent window

_Blank - opens in new window

_Parent - opens in the parent frame

MarkupLanguage

Identify the template markup file that controls the display of the server control. For example, mymarkup.ekml. If the *.ekml file is located in the same folder as the Web form containing the server control, just enter its name. Otherwise, the path to the file can be relative or absolute. See Also: Controlling Output with Ektron Markup Language

Stylesheet

SuppressWrapperTags

Suppresses the output of the span/div tags around the control. The default is False.

True - Suppress wrap tags.

False - Allow wrap tags.

TagTemplate

Add a path to another Web form to create links for the tag text. This path can be relative or absolute. By providing the path to CommunitySearch server control, a user viewing the list of groups can click a tag and search for other groups with the same tag.

There are five parameters that are automatically added to the link’s QueryString that allow you to pass information about tag.

searchgrptag - represent the tag’s text for community groups.

TagId - represents the tag’s ID.

TagLanguage - represents the tag’s language.

TagCount - represents the tag’s count. The tag’s count is the amount of times a tag has been used.

TagType - represents the tag’s type. The tag’s type will be user or community group.

In addition to these parameters, you can add your own by defining them in the path. When you do, these parameters will be appended to your parameters.
