Using a custom form control (ftl) within another one

denger_spaghett — Fri, 11 Dec 2020 15:39:12 GMT

Hi,

I need to use a custom form control (autocomplete) within another one (table), neither of which were programmed by me.

My question is, can you simply use form controls within each other? Is it as easy as importing? Is it even possible?

If needed, I can provide source codes.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, please provide your source code and as much information about your requirement as you can.

Cheers,

Hi @EddieMay, thanks for the reply.

So, I need to use this autocomplete inside of this table

I believe, that the "textfield", that I need to apply the autocomplete to is on line #45 in the table file.

I'm still pretty new to the whole .ftl and alfresco in general. so any help will be appreciated.

Are you getting any user's back from the query? Just so that you know if there's any data for the autocomplete to work with.

Cheers,

Yes, @EddieMay I've tested the autocomplete along with its webscript and they're both working.
