Ability to define parameters on an Area
---------------------------------------
Key: MGNLSTK-780
URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MGNLSTK-780
Project: Magnolia Standard Templating Kit
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: templates
Affects Versions: 1.4.4
Reporter: Matt Dertinger
Assignee: Philipp Bärfuss
Attachments: Area.java.patch
Hi,
Sometimes it would be useful to configure generic parameters into the config
for an {{Area}}, similar to the current ability to do this at the {{Paragraph}}
level. Example use case would be able to apply different values to a
{{divClass}} parameter to populate the {{class}} attribute in {{mainArea.ftl}}.
One template definition could define this value as simply {{text}}, while
another, (say a News Template that supports the hNews microformat), could
define it as {{text hnews hentry item}}.
{code:xml|title=Example mainArea.ftl}
[#assign divClass = def.mainArea.parameters.divClass]
<div class="${divClass}">
[#include "/templating-kit/templates/global/mainArea.ftl"]
</div><!-- end text -->
[#-- commenting --]
[#if content[def.mainArea.comments.paragraph]?has_content]
[@cms.includeTemplate contentNodeName="${def.mainArea.comments.paragraph}"
/]
[#else]
[#if mgnl.editMode]
<div style="padding-top: 20px;">
[@cms.newBar contentNodeName="${def.mainArea.comments.paragraph}"
paragraph="${def.mainArea.comments.paragraph}"
newLabel="${i18n['comments.newLabel']}" /]
</div>
[/#if]
[/#if]
{code}
Possible patch is attached. Needs to be tested before applying.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Matt
