I must be doing something wrong because it worked so easily.
I created a component "AgendaInstructions" with:
these are the agenda instructions From the AgendaInstructions component!!!
<webobject name=ComponentContent></webobject>
in the html and:
ComponentContent: WOComponentContent {
}
in the wod.
in the method that returns the page:
page.d2wContext().takeValueForKey("AgendaInstructions", "compName");
in my ListRepetition component:
<webobject name = "InstructionComponent"/>
InstructionComponent : WOSwitchComponent {
WOComponentName = d2wContext.compName;
}
Is there anything more I 'should' be doing? It seemed too easy.
