Code here: http://plnkr.co/edit/PfOgEDphwrnSXwatB6Yo?p=preview
I have a collection of products that I need to show on the screen.
I load the JSON model and set it as a general model and I have an aggregation binding on a grid's content
var productTemplate = new sap.ui.view({
viewName: "view.Product",
type: sap.ui.core.mvc.ViewType.HTML
});
grid.bindAggregation("content", "/", productTemplate);
The productTemplate is a html view as you can see:
<div id="mySimpleTemplate" data-type="text/x-handlebars-template">
<h3>Product</h3>
<b>{{text path="name"}}</b>
</div>
<script>
sap.ui.template();
</script>
There are two issues:
The relative binding is not working. The name of the product is not displayed. If I use absolute binding {{text path="/3/name"}} the name will be displayed ok.
Second big issue is that the templating is only applied for the FIRST element. Afterwards the html view is interpreted as simple text
Where do I make the mistake?
Also, the documentation on HTML template is quite limited on SAP official site. Can you provide some tutorials, examples links?
Thank you!
First of all, I am no expert on templating in SAPUI5.
That being said, I think you are mixing two concept here: Views and Templates.
With my missing expertise, I can't really tell you about the ideas and concepts being this. However I did manage to get your example to work:
Rename your template file to view/Product.view.tmpl.
Remove the script tag in it, so it only contains the template.
In the Main view use new sap.ui.templateview("view.Product"); to create a TemplateView based on your template.

I'd like to create a custom drag and drop template so I can increase the design possibilities without losing the functionality. I can't find anything in their documentation.
I was hoping to create something like this, not sure if I'm missing something obvious but I can't find a drag and drop that allows for the different coloured background with columns too.
I could use a block of code but I can't edit the css styles so it wouldn't be responsive for mobile and also not very friendly for those who don't know html.
Rather old question, but to who it might be helpfull:
If you code your own template and upload it to Mailchimp you lose the 'drag & drop' system/UX interface with the different blocks. You are able to create repeatable blocks but then it works with a dropdown list. This is (in my humble opinion) not that user friendly and takes a while before you fully understand how to use the dropdown. I had to explain it to a client earlier today and took a while before they understood it, so I decided to write them a manual for it.
But the design you want to create should be possible to make with a standard MC template. In the 'design' tab you will find settings to control background colors etc.
Still not possible, answer from the Mailchimp support: "At the moment, it's not currently possible to code a drag and drop template completely--one of our drag and drop template layouts will need to be selected, but you can drop in Code blocks to get a little more control over the styling of certain sections."
Though, if it's any help, it is possible to fully custom code your own template, and then add in mailchimps special Template language to the template to open up sections as editable within the campaign builder--or even duplicate certain sections of content. It's not quite the same as the drag drop templates, but adds similar functionality. More info on working with template language can be found here: https://mailchimp.com/help/getting-started-with-mailchimps-template-language/
I know this is an old question, but while searching for this myself I stumbled upon a solution posted here.
Basically it is possible to code your own drag n' drop template, but the solution has not been documented.
Find one of the Mailchimp templates (either one of the basic templates or a custom template from the 'Themes' menu.
Use 'Inspect element' and copy the source code of the iFramed html-email.
Paste in your preferred HTML-editor and modify as intended
Create your own template from the 'Paste in code' mode
If you want custom modules to be added by default, edit using the menu 'Edit design' in the bottom of the screen.
Save and exit :)
I found part of the answer on another topic: [Is it possible to code drag&drop templates for mailchimp?
If you add the following code into your main content div or td it will enable the drag and drop block editor:
mc:container="body_container" mccontainer="body_container"
example:
<div mc:container="body_container" mccontainer="body_container"></div>
This code will add a block editor region to the preheader section:
mc:container="preheader_container" mccontainer="preheader_container"
For the header:
mc:container="header_container" mccontainer="header_container"
For the footer:
mc:container="footer_container" mccontainer="footer_container"
Note: It doesn't seem to matter what you call the mc:container. Creating a new container with a different name worked. Although using just mc:container tag seems to work at first by itself, the mccontainer (no colon) tag is required for it to save properly.
You can create your own drag and drop template you need to add the following into your html coded template where you want the 'drag and drop' feature to exist.
<div id="templateBody" mc:container="container_name" mccontainer="container_name" class="tpl-container">
<div mc:block="3502204" mc:blocktype="text" mcblock="3502204" mcblocktype="text" class="tpl-block"></div>
</div>
This can be repeated in your code multiple times for multiple insertions. I could not find documentation to indicate if the container name or block number needs to be unique, I did make it unique in my template.
If this isn't possible please let me know!
I'm hoping there's a solution to what I'm asking.
I need to move the Next/Prev buttons, located in the pagenavigation plugin to after the <jdoc:include type="component" />; Basically render it anywhere in my templates' index.php?
Is there any way to do this?
This is the code that renders the pagination:
<?php
if (!empty($this->item->pagination) && $this->item->pagination && $this->item->paginationposition && !$this->item->paginationrelative):
echo $this->item->pagination;
?>
<?php endif; ?>
As you can see the pagination is part of the item. As you can see if you look at the pagenavigation content plugin the pagination values are created in response to the onContentBeforeDisplay event. The plugin is hard coded to only work for articles in the single article view.
So to use it in a different component you would really need to create a second plugin for that component (or you could do any component or anything besides the single article view, that all would be easy to code using context).
To locate it in a different place in the single article view you would have to move the block of code to the desired location in the layout. Potentially you could also use css to locate the rendering of the block somewhere else on the page. (But more on this at the bottom.)
Unfortunately (but nor surprisingly given its name) onContentBeforeDisplay comes really late, in the view (unlike with pagination in the backend).
I always find it confusing because this frontend "pagination" property controlled by this plugin has nothing to do with backend pagination which is controlled by a JPagination object. I believe if is because of backward compatibility all the way to 1.0. ALso because the template chrome for pagination chrome are called pagination.php.
That leads me to the next thing I'll mention. You can make a file pagination.php and put it in the html folder of your template. You can see an example of this in the core template protostar. THat's where you would do the CSS or whatever other tricks you want to do to make the pagination do what you want. I think if you work hard enough at it (possibly using javascript or possibly calling that file from a module) you can pretty much achieve whatever you want.
experts,
These are two very basic connected questions.
I'm studying SAPUI5 and I cannot find means to position my UI elements on the screen.
In my view.js file I create, let's say, a button, a datepicker and a text field.
If I do something like:
aControls=[];
<Define the button - oButton>
aControls.push(oButton);
<Define the datepicker - oDatePicker>
aControls.push(oDatePicker);
<Define the text field - oText>
aControls.push(oText);
return aControls;
then I get all three elements positioned in a row one right after another.
I cannot use css, because I pass all those objects in one array and all of them are placed into a common div on index.html.
How do I position these? A link to any good tutorial/examples is very welcome.
Also, how do I refresh UI elements?
For example, I have situation, when on button press I make a call to the server, get response and put it into a using something like:
response.placeAt('some-id');
The button is created in the view.js and the call is processed in controller.js.
The response is added every time I press the button and I have no idea how to replace the old response with the new one.
A good link is very welcome.
Thanks.
There are a lot of layout controls of SAPUI5 you can use: Grid, HorizontalLayout, VerticalLayout, MatrixLayout,etc. You can check the examples and see how you need to layout your views.
You are currently doing UI5 JS view which implements createContent method to define views, this is one approach. Another common approach is to use XML views, it is declarative and more straightforward, also needs less code. See this simple example in JSBin of defining XML view and controller to refresh UI.
SAP UI5 is all about Model(JSONModel/ODataModel)-View(JSView/XMLView)-Controller. You are highly recommend to read this MVC example, though it is based on SAP UI5 mobile, the content is relevant to SAP UI5 desktop as well.
Hope you will get some hints.
My question is very basic . I am creating a new template and in that template, I will have a concrete structure using DIV elements. But in almost 7-8 if the DIV's, I need the data to be entered by the user.
What component/line of code I can use to have all those 7-8 DIV's editable and customizable by the page creator ?
I tried multiple paragraphs with :
<cq:include path="par" resourceType="foundation/components/parsys"/>
But only the top one appears on the page. !!
For having multiple paragraph just rename the path value in the cq:include tag. also check here
My (MVC2) application displays several addresses in a View.
Each address contains just a subset of information, like first- and lastname. The request is that the complete address information should be displayed when the mouse is over a result.
An html template should be used therefor.
This template defines how(!) the complete address should be displayed – but it doesn’t defines what(!) should be displayed.
Means it can be assumed that the complete address is always “firstname“, “lastname”, “street”, “zipcode” and “city” (for example and to keep it simple). This will never be changed.
But for example the background color can be changed in the html template from white to green or the size of the lastname can be changed from <h1> to <h2> …
What is the best way to solve it?
I would prefer to write some shared code (keyword: ascx).
This shared code should wrap the template, would be very easy and would look like this:
<div id=”mouseOver” style="display: none;" >
X_REPLACE_X
</div>
The template would look like this simplified example:
FirstName: {Name}<br/>
Lastname: <h1>{Lastname}/<h1><br/>
ZipCode: {ZipCode}<br/>
I would then render the ascx code via “Html.RenderPartial” on the View and map each address to a javascript mouseover function.
The javascript function would replace the placeholder (like {FistName}, {LastName} , etc.) in the template, position and display it.
And thats my problem:
The template should NOT be put directly in the wrapper (ascx - code)!
Means at runtime must “X_REPLACE_X” be replaced with a somewhere on the server stored template.
Because this gives me the ability to change the template without changing and publishing the code!
How can this be managed?
Is there a much better way to solve it? Should I use instead ajax calls to get the template in a variable?
Any help would be really great!
thxs in advance!
It sounds like the best way to accommodate your display differences is to simply use different css classes. The html template used for the full information does not change and can be used for all addresses, while the differences between background colors and text size can be handled by different css settings.
Relatedly, I wouldn't handle the different text sizes by using <h1></h1> and <h2></h2> but rather a common tag (such as <span></span>) whose text size is handled via css.
