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. :-) Thanks261ViewsSign in to react to this post2CommentsHow 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.ViewsSign in to react to this postCommentsAdding 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.ViewsSign in to react to this postComments
