Which variables can I use in the "Custom Display" field?
Last modified by Thomas Mortagne on 2017/02/03
In a doc Class, properties have "Custom Display" field , to display data in a ... custom way, like User Property Custom Display by example.
User Property Custom Display
Here some velocity script you can use in this field. The core make available the following variables:
- $name = the name of the displayed field
- $prefix = a prefix for the form field
- $object = the displayed object
- $type = the intended display mode (view, edit, hidden, search...)
- $value = the property value
- $field = the definition of the property (in the class)
So, in a custom Page type property (or database list), if you want:
- in edit mode a select list to choose a page or nothing
- in view mode a link to the page chosen page (or nothing)
Here a "Custom Display" field:
{{velocity}}
#if ($type == 'edit')
#set($MyClass=$object.getxWikiClass())
#set($list=$MyClass.get($name).getListValues())
#set ($MySelectList="<select id='" + "${prefix}${name}" + "' size='1' name='" + $prefix + ${name} + "'>")
#set ($Selected="")
#if ($!value=='')
#set ($Selected=" selected='selected'")
#end
#set ($MySelectList=$MySelectList + "<option value=''" + $!Selected + " label='" + $services.localization.render('Space.DocWith_XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass_Object.Empty') + "'>" + $services.localization.render('Space.DocWith_XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass_Object.Empty') + "</option>")
#foreach($listitem in $list)
#if ($listitem==$value)
#set ($Selected=" selected='selected'")
#else
#set ($Selected="")
#end
#set ($MySelectList=$MySelectList + "<option value='" + $listitem + "'" + $!Selected + " label='" + $listitem + "'>" + $listitem + "</option>")
#end
#set ($MySelectList=$MySelectList + "</select>")
#set ($MySelectList=$MySelectList + "<input type='hidden' value='' name='" + ${prefix} + ${name} +"'>")
{{html clean=false}}
$MySelectList
{{/html}}
#elseif (($type == 'view') && ($!value!=''))
[[$value||rel="_blank"]]
#else
$value
#end
{{/velocity}}
#if ($type == 'edit')
#set($MyClass=$object.getxWikiClass())
#set($list=$MyClass.get($name).getListValues())
#set ($MySelectList="<select id='" + "${prefix}${name}" + "' size='1' name='" + $prefix + ${name} + "'>")
#set ($Selected="")
#if ($!value=='')
#set ($Selected=" selected='selected'")
#end
#set ($MySelectList=$MySelectList + "<option value=''" + $!Selected + " label='" + $services.localization.render('Space.DocWith_XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass_Object.Empty') + "'>" + $services.localization.render('Space.DocWith_XWiki.TranslationDocumentClass_Object.Empty') + "</option>")
#foreach($listitem in $list)
#if ($listitem==$value)
#set ($Selected=" selected='selected'")
#else
#set ($Selected="")
#end
#set ($MySelectList=$MySelectList + "<option value='" + $listitem + "'" + $!Selected + " label='" + $listitem + "'>" + $listitem + "</option>")
#end
#set ($MySelectList=$MySelectList + "</select>")
#set ($MySelectList=$MySelectList + "<input type='hidden' value='' name='" + ${prefix} + ${name} +"'>")
{{html clean=false}}
$MySelectList
{{/html}}
#elseif (($type == 'view') && ($!value!=''))
[[$value||rel="_blank"]]
#else
$value
#end
{{/velocity}}
Of course, you can use a similar code in the Sheet to display data like you want.
