Click to load a component

Hello. I was just wondering.. if I'm on a custom page, displaying,say, customcomponent1, is it possible to click a link and swap out that component with a different custom component?

That is interesting Doug.   Is that function supposed to also work with a modal component?   I'm trying to call such a component this way, essentially with this:

 

$(".item a").click(function(e) {
    var mydata = "Some data to pass";
    var ajaxOptions = {success:console.log('SUCCESS!') };
    LITHIUM.Components.render("MyModalComponent", {data:mydata}, ajaxOptions);
});

When I do I can see the success message in the console when tells me it should work, but the modal window does not open.    The modal component does execute properly in studio when I preview it so that is not the problem.    Any ideas?

You could use that to build a modal widget, but it would be up to you to supply the modal library to feed the markup to -- LITHIUM.Components.render will return markup that you can feed to a modal libary.  We actually have  a special freemarker derictive for loading components in a modal dialog if you are interested in try that out -- see this article for more information about that:
