I have to select which block to render depending upon database
configuration. To keep clean HTML mock-ups, I have moved the blocks into
a separate page. The blocks are specified as separate components,
subclassing Block.
My problem is that they don't get rendered at all and I'm not sure why.
Home.html:
...
<span jwcid="forEachModule">
<div style="border: 1px" jwcid="blockDiv">
<span jwcid="renderBlock"/>
</div>
</span>
...
Home.page:
...
<component id="renderBlock" type="RenderBlock">
<binding name="block" value="ognl: currentBlock"/>
<binding name="featureModule" value="ognl: currentModule"/>
</component>
...
Using featureModule as an informal parameter to pass to the rendering
block, retrieved through getParameter("featureModule") in block class.
HomePage.java:
...
public Block getCurrentBlock() {
IPage blocksPage = getCycle().getPage("Blocks");
Block block = (Block) blocksPage.getComponent("fullWidthBlock");
return block;
}
...
Blocks.page:
...
<component id="fullWidthBlock" type="FullWidthBlock"/>
...
FullWidthBlock never gets rendered. If fullWidthBlock is just static
HTML contained in Blocks.html rather than FullWidthBlock.html, it gets
rendered fine, but I would rather not have to have all HTML for each
block I have to render in Blocks.html. In fact that wouldn't be
possible as I have to pass a parameter to the Block to render
(featureModule informal parameter above).
Have I missed something or is this just not possible at the moment?
Thanks for your help,
Jim Dyson
