Hi guys,
We're using a Blossom controller in Magnolia 4.5 with stk to render a component
in a custom maven module.
We want the Authors to be able enter a rich text (Fckedit) with placeholders ..
something like:
[i]Hi, your name is #(name), your phone number is #(Phone), and you can change
your profile with this [b]LINK[/b]. bye bye.[/i]
then the text will be rendered with all the placeholders substituted with the
correct values taken from a (db/web service/whatever).
So:
The author saves the text with dialogs.
We are getting the Nodes in the controller with Blossom:
[code]
@Template(id = "magnolia-assimoco-module:components/myPlaceholder", title =
"PlaceholderText", dialog = "placeholderDialog")
@I18nBasename("info.magnolia.module.my-magnolia-module.messages")
@Controller
public class MyPlaceholderComponent extends AbstractServiceCaller {
@RequestMapping("/textWithPlaceholders")
public String handle(Model model, ...request... , ...response ... , Node node,
[b]Node content[/b]) throws ... {
... // load from services, db, beans etc...
...
Property property= content.getProperty(propName);
String message = property.getValue().getString();
String myMessage = substitutePlaceholders(message);
model.addAttribute("mymessage",myMessage);
...
}[/code]
then we're substituting the placeholders in the text with java regexp with the
correct user's values.
and we're printing then the final message in FTL with a simple ${myMessage!''}
But:
If an author places a static link in the text to another page of the site, the
links will not be parsed (ah href="${link: bla blah blah: }" is generated)
So the real questions:
. Is there a simpler way to do it?
. Can I inject in Blossom the TemplateFunctions so i can use decode() on the
node before the substitutions, like as using ${cmsfn.decode(content).mymessage}
in FTL? HOW?
. Or otherwise how can i use the cmsfn.decode() in FTL with a provided String?
Thank you for any advice!
Max
