I have created a custom page layout in a SharePoint 2013 Publishing website.

On this page I've added a web part snippet pointing to a list on the same site.

This list contains a numeric column called KBID which holds the unique ID of a publishing page.

In short, I want every page to display my list viewing only the corresponding KBID's.

At the moment, my web part snippet looks like this:

                <!--CS: Start Web Part Zone Snippet-->
            <!--SPM:<%@Register Tagprefix="WebPartPages" Namespace="Microsoft.SharePoint.WebPartPages" Assembly="Microsoft.SharePoint, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=71e9bce111e9429c"%>-->
            <div xmlns:ie="ie">

            </div>
            <!--CE: End Web Part Zone Snippet-->

and I'm pretty sure that I'm doing something wrong here:

<!--MS:<Value Type="Number">--><!--SPM:<SharePoint:FieldValue FieldName="ID" runat="server" id="idb" ControlMode="display" />--><!--ME:</Value>-->

I've tried using this variable (pointing to the ID displayed on the page) but that won't work either:

<!--SPM:[PageFieldValue:ID]-->

Edit 25/08: I found out that everything I've been filling in so far doesn't return any value, resulting in only returning the list items with KBID 0 (or null/void).

The problem seems that I can't pass a pagefield to a webpart on the same page. I want to pass the Field ID of the Pagelibrary to the listwebpart. Can this be done somehow (perhaps with a global variable?). Can someone show me the syntax to do this?

Please ask more information if something isn't clear.

Tricky, but solved it myself.

Add a hidden html field to your page:

<input type="hidden" name="searchText" id="searchText" />

Add a Parameterbinding to your LiestViewWebPart pointing to your hidden HTML field:

<!--MS:<ParameterBinding Name="SearchTextView" Location="Form(searchText)" DefaultValue="0" />--><!--ME:</ParameterBinding>-->

Next use your parameter in your Where clause like so:

<!--MS:<Value Type="Number">-->{SearchTextView}<!--ME:</Value>-->

So now everything in the input:hidden will be used in your query. So now we need to update our hidden so it contains the right value. We do this by using JQuery like so:

<script type="text/javascript">//<![CDATA[
$(document).ready(function() {
    $("#searchText").val(_spPageContextInfo.pageItemId);
    $('#ManualRefresh').click();
});
//]]>

The first line fills the Hidden input. The second line refreshes the web part 1 more time because the hidden is filled after page (and webpart) have loaded.

Also important is that you set these parameters in your listview:

AsyncRefresh="True" ManualRefresh="True"

AsyncRefresh allows us to refresh the webpart withouth refreshing the entire page.

ManualRefresh displays the refreshbutton users can click on, and we need to programmatically click on to refresh 1 more time after pageload.
