Datum value inside a page layout

How to get the datum value inside a page layout?

Is it possible ?
Thanks

I'm going to assume that by "page layout" you mean the top-level XSL such as "fixed-layout.page.xsl", in which case the answer is you probably can, but there's also probably a better design strategy for whatever goal you're trying to accomplish.

So, with a "don't press this red button" warning, I'd suggest you try using an external to capture the datum and set it in the request as a new page scope variable, which you can then output in your fixed-layout XSL. Note that you can't operate on it though, because the page scope vars get rendered AFTER the XSL. If you need to operate on the value, I can vaguely dream up an extension of the RequestContext (or RequestContextWrapper) that might allow you to access the value with the $CONTEXT{blah} notation, but that seems so ugly that there almost certainly has to be a better approach to accomplish your goal, if you'd care to share what that is.

Hi Rick

I am using custom page layouts and few of the component s will write
(Google pixel , Test and Target and Kenshoo Pixel etc..) values inside head tag
The above components are working perfectly fine

Now , I am designing a brightcove component ( couple of similar components too) ,
which had two section , a java script call ( call the global java script) and a
corresponding code section

I want to use only one component , which will add the global .js to the head tag and
the other code /content to the body tag.

Component :
‘ will get all the user inputs using datum or etc..
Page layout:
I want to pass the one datum values to the head tag and rest to the body tag

Note:-
I can pass all the datum values from a component to the head tag as well as in
body tag but I want to pass only one datum value to the head and rest to the body tag

Thanks again

Use an External on your component and do this:
[PHP]
StringBuffer headInjection = new StringBuffer();
String existingHead = context.getPageScopeData().get(RuntimePage.PAGESCOPE_HEAD_INJECTION);
if (existingHead != null) {
headInjection.append(existingHead);
}
/* TODO: Append whatever component-specific stuff you need to headInjection */
context.getPageScopeData().put(RuntimePage.PAGESCOPE_HEAD_INJECTION,headInjection.toString());
[/PHP]
