Question

As part of an SEO enhancement project, I’ve been tasked with adding the following property inside the markup for the image that the field renderer is generating on the page:

itemprop="contentURL" – before the closing tag.

<sc:FieldRenderer ID='FieldRenderer_MainImage' Runat='server' FieldName='Homepage Image'
    CssClass="_image" Parameters="w=150" itemprop="contentURL" />

When I tried to place this inside the Field Renderer, or add it as a “parameter” – it doesn’t work.

Is there another way to do this, without having to create a control file and generate the output in the code-behind?

Answer 1

You actually cannot do this on a FieldRenderer. You’re options are:

1. Extend the FieldRenderer with the ability to do this (this will likely require a high level of effort)
2. Use a regular .NET control and bind the data from the Sitecore item via the C# code-behind.
