Hey there,
I am wondering if there is any way to create a custom component and the layout will be read from a custom page?
This question came about due to the Blog - Comment Message page being used as a layout for the Blog Comments on a Blog page.
Jake_N - Certainly, here are a few docs which can help you -

I hope this helps.
Thanks VarunGrazitti for the links. I have looked through those several times. However, they do not have the additional information that I am looking for.
My finding:
I figured that I can add quilts inside components by using the following code within a custom component named "custom.test.ftl".
<#assign param = "Hello World" >
<@component id="quilt:BlogArticle" param=param />
Within this quilt, there is another component named "custom.test.get-param.ftl" which I try to grab the param that was passed to the quilt using the code below.
<#attempt>
${env.context.component.getParameter("param")}
<#recover>
${(page.context.component.getParameter("param"))!"No param found!"}
</#attempt>
I expect at least one of these to work but to no avail. I have stopped looking into it unless someone knows a way of doing it? So far this is the most creative way I can figure out.
