Re: How to create a custom component that doesn't use FreeMarker
@Parshant, thanks for the response. I'm sure this is a dumb question. When I'm on a page (the page/quilt I wish to add my component too), can I get the page name from the URL? I think I have the "create component" part (sort of) figured out. I will be creating it in the SDK. Now I need to find the page to add it to. Any suggestions or tips? I'm not intimately familiar with our site. :-) Thanks167Views0likes2CommentsHow to create a custom component that doesn't use FreeMarker
I'm refining my previous post... I am new to Lithium. I need to create a custom component where I will place some HTML code. I don't really need any FreeMarker code. Can I just put plain old HTML into the component file? I assume I still need to name the file with the FTL extension? I've been going over some tutorial I found. The tutorial has you write a component create a quilt create a skin I'm trying to learn enough to create a component and add it to an existing quilt (page). I guess using a new quilt won't hurt. I have a week to determine if I can do this (create a component, add in some code from a social buttons plugin I found) and replace the current, built-in social buttons that comes with Lithium). The plugin also contains CSS. I assume I would just add that into the _styles.scss ? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.180Views0likes4CommentsAdding social media sharing buttons (html and css) to a component
I've never created a component. I am using the SDK. I have been tasked to learn how to create a component that I can add social media sharing buttons too. I am looking at using https://sharingbuttons.io/ which contains just HTML and some CSS. Any suggestions on where to get started? Doesn't appear to require any Freemarker, just dropping in the HTML and CSS. Thanks in advance.117Views0likes2Comments
