How do I map V7 widget to V8?

Jeffrey_Guo

Only depends on *-widget-maps.xml? Do I need any configuration to map the widget?

What if I write two V8 widget, and both map to same v7 widget?

Thank in advance.

I'm assuming that you are writing a custom widget. If so, here are the steps you'll have to take.- Create the standard set of V7 widget assets- Create a V8 widget object (e.g. SampleWidget.java)- Map the V7 widget to the V8 Widget in your widget maps XML (e.g. sample-widget-maps.xml)- Create the renderer template JSP(s) (e.g. render.jsp)- Create a renderer object (e.g. SampleWidgetRenderer.java)- Connect the V8 widget to the renderer template and object (e.g. sample-widget-renderers.xml)- Optionally, create a transformer object for manipulating the user submitted data (e.g. SampleWidgetTransformer.java)- Optionally, connect the the V8 widget to the transformer (e.g. sample-widget-transformers.xml)> What if I write two V8 widget, and both map to same v7 widget?This cannot be done. You can map multiple V7 widgets to a single V8 widget, but the converse is not possible.Hope this helps....r.On May 21, 2010, at 8:12 AM, eLink Entry: Vignette V7 and V8 Web Content Management wrote:> How do I map V7 widget to V8?

Thanks, mapping v8 widgets to v7 widgets is on the sample-widget-maps.xml, right? What would happen if I write two v8 widgets and map them to same v7 widget, which v8 widget would be used in content workspace for v8 editor style?
