Freemarker error in share webscript

I have a very simple JS webscript on the Alfresco side (mytest.get.js)function main() { model.someDesc= "Some description text");}main();‍‍‍‍‍‍I can use this on an Alfresco webscript freemarker template and it works fine on the Alfresco side. Example <div class="dashlet"> <div class="titl

ViNg,

Your Alfresco webscript FTL should be formatting the response as a JSON object, not as HTML. When you call the Alfresco webscript from sharetest.get.js, you're running eval() on the result, and this method expects JSON. Your FTL for your Alfresco webscript could look something like this:


<#escape x as jsonUtils.encodeJSONString(x)>
{
    "description" : "${someDesc}"
}
</#escape>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

I hope this helps.

Sorry I am a little new to FTL. Where do I put this code and what file?
Thanks a bunch!

Thank you much Parzgnat. It wworks well. Didn't know the view also plays important part. Thought only the controller is used for data. That was a great help!
