Are Aikau widgets suitable for Share Form controls?

iblanco — Thu, 15 Nov 2018 17:13:48 GMT

I'm trying to create a custom control for Share forms. Controls are just an ".ftl" file so there is no webscript controller where you could define your Aikau model. @ddraper Is Aikau the right tool for this?So fra I have created a custom Dojo templated widget and there I require the Aikau components

David Draper is no longer at Alfresco and also no longer active on this platform. Due to how Aikau widgets are integrated into the page load cycle, they are not a good fit for custom form controls. They do not play well with the underlying lifecycle and runtime management of regular Share forms, i.e. with regards to collecting all field values when the form is about to be submitted. If you need to use Aikau widgets for forms, consider using a complete Aikau form instead with all-Aikau widgets.
