Question involving working with components
(In regards to this article) Is there an easy way to bring in only the contents of a standard component from inside a custom component? I'm bringing the announcements component inside another custom component:
<@component id="common.widget.announcement" />
It's being brought in complete with wrapper divs and header title. I'd like to bring in just the contents. Can this be done by passing a paramerter as suggested here ?
Thanks!
I don't think pulling in only content from announcements is feasble but if you just want to get the announcements text, you could use a workaround, like using the Custom Content in admin and then call it inside the Custom Component in studio using rest call.
e.g. if you're using custom content 1 in admin to store the announcements text, use following call in your costom component.
<#assign cc1_text= restadmin("/settings/name/customcontent.1_text/").value>Or other workaround might be, to override the announcements component, this might help you what you're looking for.
