Sitecore rich text field in page editor is not editable when it contains HTML formatting

This is a known issue when you put an editable rich text inside a <p> tag.

There are plenty of html tags which are not allowed inside a <p> tag. That why your browser closes <p> tag and break the functionality of editable rich text.

Remove <p> tag which is around the @Editable.

How to get for loop index in SXA scriban

 

Adding something to the first item in a loop. As an example, below adding the active class to a bootstrap element, useful for tabs, menus, carousels, modals etc.

{{if for.first == true}} active{{end}}

Also, from the same artist:

• `{{for.index}}` The current index of the for loop

• `{{for.rindex}}` The current index of the for loop starting from the end of the list

• `{{for.first}}` A boolean indicating whether this is the first step in the loop

• `{{for.last}}` A boolean indicating whether this is the last step in the loop

• `{{for.even}}` A boolean indicating whether this is an even row in the loop

• `{{for.odd}}` A boolean indicating whether this is an odd row in the loop

 Glass Mapper IEnumerable<Guid> to IEnumerable <Object>

You can set a custom type on your multi-list field that will be used during code generation by setting the "Custom Data" property of the field in TDS:

.

In your case, if you set this to "generic=Namespace.OtherSitecoreTemplate" the stock code generation templates for TDS will generate as IEnumerable<OtherSitecoreTemplate>

As an aside, this is where you'd set the type for Link fields. If you use the string "type=OtherSitecoreTemplate" it will strongly type the field to the value provided.

Trim item field text to max 48 chars in SXA Scribban code

else

strText = sc_raw article "Title"

if ((strText | string.size) > 45)

strText = (strText | string.truncate 48)

end

end
