Component hierarchy: Plain attributes | HCL Digital Experience
In addition to the default attributes, components have the following attributes. Alternatively, shorter names are documented in the bean help.
Attribute | Description |
---|---|
position | The numeric position among the siblings, zero-based. |
skinid | The identifier of the skin for the component. |
skinname | The name of the skin for the component. |
modifiable | A flag indicates whether the component can be modified. |
deletable | A flag indicates whether the component can be deleted. |
width | The width of the component, in pixel or percent. |
The skinid, modifiable, deletable, and width attributes are writable. The Boolean value of the flag attributes can be given as true/false, t/f, 1/0, or on/off. It is returned as true/false by the get command. The flag values are local values of the component. On derived pages, a component is modifiable or deletable only if the flag is also set on all base pages where that component is defined. The value of the width attribute can be given as a number of pixels, or as a numeric percentage followed by the percent sign.
The skinname attribute is not writable, but the value depends on the skinid attribute. The position attribute is not writable either, but the value depends on the organization of the component tree. For more information, see Organization.
