Custom Blog Alert Template - Missing ID for list post

Question

I have made a custom alerttemplate and tried to add the ItemID without success. I can add but i need to add post.aspx?ID=xx where xx is replaced by the ItemID.

Tried the following ID-s (and removed ID the properties in the exclude;ImmediateNotificationExcludedFields)

          <GetVar Name="ItemId" />
          <GetVar Name="ItemName" />
            <GetVar Name="{ListID}" />
            <GetVar Name="ID" />
            <GetVar Name="ItemName" />
            <GetVar Name="NewValue#ID" />

But I am not getting the ID's for the items. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

What you can do is to create a custom display form for the blog posts list or any other list. From this you can access the incoming url query string for the id and redirect to the correct post.aspx page.

Answer 2

Unfortunately ID is not supported in XML defined Alert Templates; you will need to use an IAlertNotifyHandler class to insert the ID as needed.

You can find out more on how to do this here:

Answer 3

Use like this.

<GetVar Name=”ItemID” URLEncodeAsURL=”TRUE” />
