> In console log there is no error.

Which console log? The preview log is of interest here.

And again: Are you sure the column in question is filled?

[pinarodrigo]

Hello,

The preview error logs show no error, although that is not a surprise since the part of the template where we have the problem only gets executed when we publish the corresponding pages (due to this being a content projection maybe); In any case, the generation error logs also show no error.

The colum in question is filled whenever we fill the corresponding field in the form, doesn't it?; if that is the case, then yes, we are sure the column is filled.

Nevertheless, the evaluation of this function:

$CMS_VALUE(content.external_link.getClass())$

should always return the i put element's class name regardless of it being filled or not, isn't that so?

Thank you very much in advance for your response.

I would advise you write a test page. Maybe the problem is simply that the content isn't released yet?

Nevertheless, the evaluation of this function:

$CMS_VALUE(content.external_link.getClass())$

should always return the i put element's class name regardless of it being filled or not, isn't that so?

Not if content.external_link is null.

[pinarodrigo]

Thank you ,

the content is in fact released as we are already fetching the values from other input elements, remember that in our example:

<!-- HeadLine1: $CMS_VALUE(content.news_headline,default:"")$ -->

Does return the desired headline value.

The issue seems to be focused on the “external_link” field which we changed from a simple “CMS_INPUT_TEXT” to a “CMS_INPUT_LINK”.

If the “external_link” field is indeed filled, how could the “external_field” object be null?

Thanks!

I have modified all the Database schema forms(i have 64+ db schems for different country).

Modified like below,

	<CMS_INPUT_LINK name="csExternalTeaserLink" allowEmpty="yes" useLanguages="yes">
	<LANGINFOS>
	<LANGINFO lang="*" label="External Teaser-Link (http://... or https://...)"/>
	<LANGINFO lang="DE" label="Externer Teaser-Verweis (http://... or https://...)"/>
	</LANGINFOS>
	<LINKEDITORS>
	<LINKEDITOR name="lt_overlaylink_news"/>
	<LINKEDITOR name="lt_overlaylink_external"/>
	<LINKEDITOR name="lt_overlaylink_internal"/>
	<LINKEDITOR name="lt_overlaylink_email"/>
	<LINKEDITOR name="lt_overlaylink_media"/>
	</LINKEDITORS>
	</CMS_INPUT_LINK>

Thank you.

How to proceed with this problem?

All the data base schema templates are modified with the same name and component as like ,

<CMS_INPUT_LINK name="csExternalTeaserLink" allowEmpty="yes" useLanguages="yes">

Code in form:

	<CMS_INPUT_LINK name="csExternalTeaserLink" allowEmpty="yes" useLanguages="yes">
	<LANGINFOS>
	<LANGINFO lang="*" label="External Teaser-Link (http://... or https://...)"/>
	<LANGINFO lang="DE" label="Externer Teaser-Verweis (http://... or https://...)"/>
	</LANGINFOS>
	<LINKEDITORS>
	<LINKEDITOR name="lt_overlaylink_news"/>
	<LINKEDITOR name="lt_overlaylink_external"/>
	<LINKEDITOR name="lt_overlaylink_internal"/>
	<LINKEDITOR name="lt_overlaylink_email"/>
	<LINKEDITOR name="lt_overlaylink_media"/>
	</LINKEDITORS>
	</CMS_INPUT_LINK>

Template Code:

<atom:entry>

        <atom:title><![CDATA[$CMS_VALUE(content.news_headline,default:"")$]]></atom:title>

        <!-- HeadLine: $CMS_VALUE(content.news_headline,default:"")$ -->       

        <!-- ExternalLink: $CMS_VALUE(content.external_link,default:"")$ -->

        <!-- ExternalLinkRef: $CMS_VALUE(content.external_link.ref)$ -->       

        $CMS_FOR(attr,content.external_link.getAttributes)$

             <!-- OutPut For1: $CMS_VALUE(attr.key)$: $CMS_VALUE(attr.value)$ -->

              <!-- OutPut For2: $CMS_VALUE(attr.value)$ -->

             $CMS_SET(templateName)$$CMS_VALUE(attr.value)$ $CMS_END_SET$

                 $CMS_IF("lt_overlaylink_external".equals(templateName.trim()))$

                     $--This condition belongs to external link--$

                     <atom:link rel="detail" type="text/html" href="$CMS_VALUE(content.external_link)$"/>

                 $CMS_ELSIF("lt_overlaylink_internal".equals(templateName.trim()))$

                     $--This condition belongs to internal link--$

                     <atom:link rel="detail" type="text/html" href="$CMS_VALUE(content.external_link)$"/>

                     $--This condition belongs to media link--$

                     <atom:link rel="detail" type="text/html" href="$CMS_VALUE(content.external_link)$"/>

                 $CMS_ELSE$

                     $--This condition is default news details page.No external link is selected manually --$

                     <atom:link rel="detail" type="text/html" href="$CMS_REF(ssNewsRoot,template:"BNN.news_detail_output",contentId:content.fs_id,abs:2)$"/>

                 $CMS_END_IF$

        $CMS_END_FOR$

As the 64+ database forms are changed....

But Still i am getting the error..not the entered value....

[sivaprasad9394 · Accepted solution]

Hello,

We have resolved the problem by modifiying all the news template with the CMS_INPUT_LINK name="xxxxx",then the problem is no more in the system..Name should be common across all the news templates.

Thanks,

Siva
