What is v8 widget type?

Jeffrey_Guo

In v8 samples, *-themes-render.xml, it says there are valid system values like vcm-wdiget-text etc, could I create a customized widget type? and how?

<core:theme extend="sample"
   mergeTemplate="true">
  <!-- Template attributes
   key: the widget type value. Valid system values are
    vcm-widget-hidden
    vcm-widget-date
    vcm-widget-text
    vcm-widget-editlive
    vcm-widget-simpleselect
    vcm-widget-listselect
    vcm-widget-listmultiselect
    vcm-widget-objectselect
    vcm-widget-objectmultiselect
    vcm-widget-relator
    vcm-widget-inline-relator
    vcm-widget-file

    The key value can also be a combo value that follows this format:
     <WidgetType>:ContentInstance:<ContentTypeXMLName>:<AttributeName>

    The combo key value can be partial, such as:
     vcm-widget-text:ContentInstance:Sample
    This will override all text widget renders for the Sample content type

   path: a fully qualified path to a JSP file
   -->
  <core:template key="vcm-widget-text" path="/cot-sample-widget/widget/thesaurus/render.jsp"/>
</core:theme>

If you look at sample-widget-renderers.xml, you'll see that one of the entries there is:If you create a custom renderer in your *widget-renderers*.xml, you can specify your own template there, e.g. my-custom-widget. Then, in your themes you can use that as a key value for the widget type..r.On Jun 3, 2010, at 1:36 PM, eLink Entry: Vignette V7 and V8 Web Content Management wrote:> What is v8 widget type?

I changed widget type at both widget-renders.xml and themes-render.xml, however, it still give me a error Unable to resolve template: cot-widget-text [[ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '3' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)'] [], and as long I change back to vcm-widget-text, it works fine.

By the way, I feel system widget type is relatively with the WidgetRender you subclass from, if I still use the sample v8 widget, but change the widget type to vcm-widget-date, it would throw exception

com.vignette.ui.core.UIException: Unable to create template output.

Ok, lets me provide the simplest error case.

Nothing changes in v8 sample except two xml file:

in sample-widget-renderers.xml, change vcm-widget-text to cot-widget-text, and in sample-themes-render.xml change vcm-widget-text to cot-widget-text as well. Then the two wdiget are not going to render data in v8 content workspace, on vcm-ui-VgnVCM1.log you would find error log:

In sample-themes-render.xml, you are extending a theme named "sample".

Thank you very much, I belive this is the reason.

the sample themes already exist, but the v8 sample theme is not choosed to use, (actually, v8 sample theme is an unfinished one, if you choose sample theme instead of of default, you are going to get a white page for your content workspace). I would try extend corporate.

Thanks again.

Ruhul,

when I change the extend value to corporate, http://host:27110/content becomes a white page, just like when I choose sample theme in preference, no matter I set mergeTemplate to true or false. Is that what it suppose to be? I didn't change anything from the v8 sample except the template key value.

<core:theme extend="corporate"
mergeTemplate="false">

Thanks.

Jeffrey_Guo

On the error log, what I could find is:No bean named 'corporate' is defined

Looks like I can not extend on coporate themes?
