ISML Custom Tag - ISSLOT
Introduction
The <ISSLOT> tag allows to request the contents (technically meaning all PageletAssignment objects) of a slot from within the pagelet's render template. This implies that the Java code behind the tag uses information that is provided by some slot definition:
- Is a pagelet pipeline given?
- Yes: "Component Assignments" are enabled?
- Yes: Carry on as if the slot object is a filter slot.
- No: Carry on as if the slot object is a dynamic slot.
- No: Ask the slot object to return all
PageletAssignments
- Apply upper boundary constraints
The result of such check will be an ordered set of PageletAssignments renderable at a given time. So all contents will be rendered implicitly by the invocation of the pagelet containing this slot.
Syntax
<isslot
(
slot = "( {String} | {ISML expression} )"
)>
Example
<body
<isif condition="#(isDefined(PageletConfigurationParameters:bodyId))#">
id="<isprint value="#PageletConfigurationParameters:bodyId#">"</isif>
<isif condition="#(isDefined(PageletConfigurationParameters:bodyClass))#">
class="<isprint value="#PageletConfigurationParameters:bodyClass#">"
</isif>>
<isslot slot="slot.main.Content.pagelet2-Slot">
</body>
Attributes
The <ISSLOT> tag has a mandatory attribute named slot. In the example above the HTML markup produced by the contents of the slot slot.main.Content.pagelet2-Slot is inserted at the tag's position.
slot
A qualified name refering to the slot definition is expected to be used as value for that attribute.
