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?

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:

Thanks Doug. I have read that page, but given up trying to use the Lithium modal dialog. The limitation I found is with the label parameter, which MUST be the name of a text key in Studio. This would be fine for a simple button or link on a page, but in a dynamically-built video carousel that displays both a thumbnail image and description text for clicking, that won't do. Even when I tested it that way there were other display issues with the dialog box, so it will be easier to use my own modal library.
