Dynamic list-rendering contexts | HCL Digital Experience
The Digital Data Connector (DDC) for HCL Portal makes it possible to dynamically set or modify the list-rendering context. For this purpose, it supports a defined set of public render parameters.
The Web Content Viewer portlet registers these parameters.
This registration makes read and write access to these parameters
possible in two ways:
- Developers can read or write the parameters through the public portal API.
- Website designers can read or write the parameters through the render parameter and the render URL plug-in tags.

interface. This interface is defined by the public Digital Data Connector API. The
following public render parameters are defined by Digital Data Connector:
- sources
- The namespace is
http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/datatype/content/resource-collections
. - filters
- The namespace is
http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/datatype/content/resource-collections
. - sorting
- The namespace is
http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/datatype/content/resource-collections
.
For
example, the social rendering DDC plug-in makes it possible to set
a dynamic search term filter for social lists. You do so by setting
the public render parameter filters
to the value sr:searchterm:searchterm
.
Replace searchterm
by the actual
search term that you want to use for filtering the bean list. The
social rendering DDC plug-in processes only filters
parameters
that are defined in the URI scheme sr
, in other words,
it ignores all filters
parameters that do not start
with a sr:
prefix.
