We are using SDL Tridion 2013. In Site Edit I want to edit an Embedded Schema Field and Multi Value Field. How would I do that?

We are using C# templating to render output. For simple text field to be edit in Site Edit I'm using <tcdl:ComponentField name="FieldName">html of the field</tcdl:ComponentField>

Example

rtnValue.AppendLine("<tcdl:ComponentField name=\"PageHeading\">");
rtnValue.AppendLine("<h2 class=\"page-title\">" + GetSingleStringValue("PageHeading", pfd).ToUpper() + "</h2></tcdl:ComponentField>");

Can you tell us what you have already tried please?

This scenario sounds very similar to this: Make component link fields inline editable

In particular see the reference to 'Making subfields of embedded multivalue fields editable' section of the online documentation (login required): http://sdllivecontent.sdl.com/LiveContent/content/en-US/SDL_Tridion_2011_SPONE/concept_531D916B066D4CD78661EB29BA33E2C3

  • This is probably a great example of why to use Dreamweaver (or Razor) templates for 'front-end' content and not tangle this up in C#. If you absolutely must do this in a C# template, then I would recommend that you just put a 'HTML comment placeholder' above your component field (in your existing C# TBB) and then replace this with the correct markup (or TCDL tag) in a separate Template Building Block. This way, the code to replace will be in a single place (should it need to be tweaked) and it wouldn't break your HTML markup.
