I would like to use category shortlist addon for displaying files. Is it possible to display additional attributes for each record? If yes can some one post sample code to achieve it.

Thanks.

Hi Sumant,

If you're familiar with asp.net you'll recognize a datagrid in CatShortList.ascx. It displays several columns from the retrieved data table. You can add custom attributes by including their "key" there. You can look up the key in DMX_Attributes or you can see it when you go to the Attributes screen. Note you should be on DMX 5.2.2 or higher. Let me know if this doesn't work.

Hi Peter,

I managed to display additional attribute in the datagrid using following code

<%#Bring2mind.DNN.Modules.DMX.Business.EntryAttributesController.GetEntryAttributeByEntryAndKey(DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.PortalId"), DataBinder.Eval(Container, "DataItem.EntryId"), "att4", System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture.Name).Value%>       

Just let me know is there any better way to retrieve attribute value?

Hi Sumant,

This method is correct. You might want to add some code one day to cater for the event that an entry does not have an entryattribute record for that attribute. That would make the solution more robust. The code would need to be added to the code behind of the addon, so you may want to hold off until this event actually happens.
