Content List component is only returning 1 item

Eric Borisow

Hi,

I have a Content List component.  I've added several rows to it and selected a few content items.  However, when I try to render the content, I am only getting one result.  When I added a new content item, it pushed out the previous one.  Is there anything special that I need to do to get it to return more than one result? 

Thanks,

Eric

Here is the XML that I am getting in the component:

Hi Eric, for list components (Smart List, Content List) you can use the "forEach" utility in JSTL (<c:forEach items="${component.results}" var="content" varStatus="status">).

This code only works if your LIST has more than one item in it of course...

Here's some example code for showing the title of a list of items in either a Smart List or a Content List:

 

<%-- declarations --%>

<%@ taglib uri="/WEB-INF/vgnExtTemplating.tld" prefix="templating" %>

<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core&quot; %>

<%@ page contentType="text/html" %>

 

<!-- initialize component & results -->

<templating:initComponent/>

<templating:initRequestContext var="rc"/>

<c:set var="currentChannel" value="${rc.requestedChannelBean}"/>

 

<!-- render -->

 

<c:if test="${not empty component.title}">

<div class="esc-blockheader">

<h3 class="t">${component.title}</h3>

</div>

</c:if>

 

<c:if test="${not empty component.header}">

<c:out value="${component.header}" escapeXml="false"/>

</c:if>

 

<ul class="esc-vmenu">

<c:forEach items="${component.results}" var="content" varStatus="status">

<!-- setup variables -->

<c:set var="title" value="${content.title}"/>

<c:set var="image" value="${content.image}"/>

<!-- setup links -->

 

<!--<templating:contentLink var="linkUrl" channelId="${currentChannel.system.id}" oid="${content.system.id}"/>-->

<templating:contentLink var="linkUrl" oid="${content.system.id}"/>

 

<li>

<a href="${linkUrl}" onClick="if (typeof vuit !== 'undefined') {  if(typeof vui.cps.ui.ice.FLOATIE_MODE !== 'undefined') { return (vui.cps.ui.ice.FLOATIE_MODE !== 'inline'); } else return true; } else { return true; }">

<templating:textInlineEdit oid="${content.system.id}" attributexmlname="title">

${title}

</templating:textInlineEdit>

<hr/>

</a>

</li>

</c:forEach>

 

</ul>

 

<!-- render the content component header -->

<c:if test="${not empty component.footer}">

    <h1 class="componentFooter">${component.footer}</h1>

</c:if>
