Hi all,

Is it possible to get the name of a format template, or a reference name, that is used inside a cell in a table template?

      <CMS_INPUT_DOMTABLE name="st_table" hFill="yes" height="10" useLanguages="yes">
        <FORMATS>
          <TEMPLATE name="table"/>
          <TEMPLATE name="table_icon"/>
        </FORMATS>
        <LANGINFOS>
          <LANGINFO lang="*" label="Table" description="Fill the table with your data."/>
          <LANGINFO lang="DE" label="Tabelle" description="Befüllen Sie die Tabelle mit Daten."/>
        </LANGINFOS>
        <LINKEDITORS>
          <LINKEDITOR name="lt_link"/>
        </LINKEDITORS>
      </CMS_INPUT_DOMTABLE>

so i used table_icon inside a cell:

i get the value through the

$CMS_VALUE(#content)$

But i want to export "table_icon" to my HTML as well.

Something like #content.formatTemplateNameThatIsUsedForACell

Is it possible?

Kind regards,

Dragan

Hello Dragan,

I don't know if I really undertood what you need, but can't you just do what you want to do by editing the table_icon Formattemplate?

Just adjust the html channel of the template to generate an output of the table_icon.

Hi Felix,

No. So basically, I have something like this:

And then, because I used that format template table_icon I need to add to the TD tag the following class: -is-icon

I have found out the following this morning:

$CMS_IF(#content.toString().indexOf("a-icon") > 0)$ -is-icon$CMS_END_IF$

Is that a good approach? Or if there is another one?

Regards,

Dragan

Hi Dragan,

I don't know if a good approach exists for this case.

If I need get information from childnodes in a dom I do it like this:

td-template:

$CMS_SET(set_iconClass,"")$
$CMS_SET(set_content)$
$CMS_VALUE(#content)$
$CMS_END_SET$
$CMS_SET(set_content, set_content.toString())$
<td$--
     --$$CMS_VALUE(if(set_iconClass != "", " class='" + set_iconClass + "'"))$$--
--$>$--
     --$$CMS_VALUE(set_content)$$--
--$</td>

In template table_icon:

$CMS_SET(set_iconClass,"is-icon")$
$-- then your normal html-output for the icon: --$
<span class="icon">ICON</span>

Basically I'm prerendering the contents and I provide a variable that can be used by the child-nodes.

Best regards
