I’ve updated the UIX Module documentation at http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/UIExtension+Module#HMoreDetails So yes, the parameters field can contain velocity. > Following example (for a List of items in a Array) > > cdls.try.abc has the following parameters: > > > label=abc > > target=Sandbox.try2 > > icon=gerritjan.png > > test=["Item1", 'item2', "item3"] > > > {{velocity}} > > $services.uix.getExtensions("cdls.try.abc") > > > #foreach ($extension in $services.uix.getExtensions("cdls.try.abc")) > > $services.rendering.render($extension.execute(), 'xhtml/1.0') > > #set($paramlist=$extension.getParameters().get('test')) > > #end > > > paramlist is String?: $paramlist.class > > > ##Would like it to be a list of items, but now I have to use velocity string > functions to create the list... > > #set($paramlistLengthMinusOne = $paramlist.length() - 1) > > #set($items = $paramlist.substring(1, $paramlistLengthMinusOne).split(",")) > > > #foreach($item in $items) [snip] That’s correct, UIX parameters are not typed (they’re strings). However you can simplify a lot your velocity code. In the UIX: test=item1, item2, item3 In the calling code: #set ($paramlist = $extension.getParameters().get('test')) #set ($items = $stringtool.split($paramList, “ ,”)) … Thanks -Vincent > Gerritjan Koekkoek > Vader van Rai Koekkoek (cdls) en voorzitter vereniging CdLS _______________________________________________ users mailing list users@xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/users
