Hi,

I have created a webscript and this is the code of js file.

var fileNode=companyhome.childByNamePath("Data Dictionary/Node Templates/test.html.ftl");
var doc1=companyhome.createFile("testtemplate123.doc");
var props = new Array(1);
props["docname"] = "tesstttt";
var content=doc1.processTemplate(fileNode,props);
doc1.properties.content.content= content;
doc1.mimetype = "application/msword";
doc1.save();‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

And a custom template file in Data Dictionary/Node Templates/test.html.ftl.

<html>
 <head>
 <style type="text/css"><!--
 body
 {
 font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
 font-size: 14px;
 color: #4c4c4c;
 }

This code is working fine and i am able to create a file as shown in attached screen shot.

How can I pass my variables from javascript to Templates(ftl) file?
and how to access these variables in template(ftl) file?

Vikas, you can try passing parameters using args parameter (map) in processTemplate

processTemplate(template, args)

processTemplate | Alfresco Documentation

Let me know if this works.

Thanks,

Have you tried setting up values in model object from JS file for example, model.name="ABC" and in ftl access it as ${name}.

Hope this helps.

yes, It is not working.

If I am understanding correctly then, Looks like you are trying to replicate the same thing as done during email sending. However, while email send when you set up the template model, it resolves values at the runtime during mail action. Here, from one JS file you are trying to populate values in a static html template which in my opinion would not be possible straight away. You may need to take a look at processTemplate and see if you can customize it passing the values for the variables in the template.

Hope this helps.

Thank you, Sir It is working.

var args = new Array(1);
args["hello"] = "78978879";
var content=doc1.processTemplate(fileNode,args);
doc1.properties.content.content= content;

now I can access these variable using ${args.hello}
