I'm afraid not, no.

Can you explain in more detail

- what you intend to do

- what you already did

- what didn't work as expected

- what "unknowns" you're facing

that would help me (and other, I hope) understand what you're after.

thanks

My Task :-  To create a document type which contains Custom compound. .

For those  Custom compound ,  i need ImageLink(Compound field)  and Links((Compound field)).

But the number of the image link and links is not fixed . and it will be decided by the editors .

So my question is there a way by means of which i editor can add or remove the image links and add or remove links while editing .

What is already done :-  created a document type having custom compounds  and added 2 image links and 2 links compound fields and displayed on images and urls on the jsp page

Not able to find the way :- how editors can create N number of image links and links in runtime while setting the content.

Reason not able to find the way because :- Hippo beans are created (having  2 getters for the image and 2 getters for the links ) .but later  if editor  creats add 2 more image links then how  content will be set and displayed in site because the bean will 2 getters for the image and 2 getters for the links.

Thanks,

Nidhi

Hello Nidhi, 

If I understood your use case correctly, you could use the content blocks plugin [1] to achieve your goal.

Cheers, 

Luís

Not able to find the way :- how editors can create N number of image links and links in runtime while setting the content.

If you want N number of image links or N number of mirror links you can use the 'multiple' flag for a field (or compound). See also some more information about the document type editor.

http://www.onehippo.org/library/concepts/document-types/document-type-editor.html

 

Reason not able to find the way because :- Hippo beans are created (having  2 getters for the image and 2 getters for the links ) .but later  if editor  creats add 2 more image links then how  content will be set and displayed in site because the bean will 2 getters for the image and 2 getters for the links.

If you use the multiple attribute the generated bean will return a List instead of having multiple getters.

I hope this helps.

 

Thanks,

Nidhi

Jeroen

Thanks Nidhi for the extra context. As you see, like that, the responses start coming :-)

I wanted to answer too, but Jeroen already wrote what I would have written.

In my opinion, the content blocks plugin gets interesting only when you need to enable the CMS editor to fully control the order in which these two types of fields get rendered on your page(s). If you only need "a list of images and a list of links", you're better off with the reduced complexity of using the "multiple" flag.

cheers
