How to access multifield values of a design dialog in sightly

Avatar

Level 2

I have multifield (granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield) in a design dialog.  And the values are being saved in the design template (/etc/designs/<myapp>/jcr:content/<mytemplate>/<mymultifield>/item[n]).

How can I access these values in my sightly template.

I was trying something like this ${currentStyle.<mymultifield>.listChildren}, but its not working

Please help.  Thanks in advance.

I am on version 6.3

Hi ybharath264

  In your model , you can inject currentStyle as below. Once you get this

After injecting the same , you can use it as below (just a sample) . You can use the Style ("The Adobe AEM Quickstart and Web Application.") methods

@PostConstruct
protected void init() {

   try {

   pageList = new ArrayList<SimplePage>();
  long absParent = currentStyle.get("absParent", 2L);

........

......

........

}

catch (Exception e) {

   LOG.error("Exception:", e);
   }

}

Hope this helps. Happy coding

Thanks

Hi,

To access multifield values, you have to go with java or JS Use API, similar to dialog multifield value and return as list and then use in HTL.

You can access directly from HTL

SCREENSHOT (with the name of the design multifield property I am trying to access) :

CODE:

<div class="container">

  <sly

          data-sly-test="${currentStyle}"

       data-sly-use.xtcontainerstyleResource="${currentStyle.path}">

    <div data-sly-test="${xtcontainerstyleResource}" class="${currentStyle.containerCSSClasses}">

      <sly data-sly-test="${xtcontainerstyleResource.hasChildren}"

           data-sly-list="${xtcontainerstyleResource.listChildren}">

        <sly data-sly-test="${item.name == 'divElements'}"

             data-sly-list="${item.listChildren}">

          <div class="${item.cssClass}">

            <sly data-sly-resource="${ item.name @ resourceType='wcm/foundation/components/responsivegrid' }"></sly>

          </div>

        </sly>

      </sly>

    </div>

  </sly>

  <sly data-sly-test="${!currentStyle}">

    <sly data-sly-resource="${ item.name @ resourceType='wcm/foundation/components/responsivegrid' }"></sly>

</div>
