Hi Vikas,

Thanks for your reply!,

I have created two custom components:

13-Managers and 14- Users.

If Managers logged-in then, the both custom components should be visible and If user's logged-in then only one user's component should be visible.

I want to restrict 13- (custom component) for users? How can I do this?

I tried to add your code in wrapper--> Page head top content.

<#if !user.anonymous>
<component id="common.widget.custom-content" name="13"/>
</#if>

The above given code is not working.

And please provide me a clear code.

Thanks,

Sateesh.

To call a component from another component, you'll need something like this using the @component FreeMarker directive

<#if !user.anonymous>
<@component id="common.widget.custom-content" name="13"/>
</#if>

The @component directive also takes parameters, which you could pass to and use in the custom component you're calling.

Other helpful directives might be @override and @delegate.

Here are a few dev guides to take a look at:
