CMS content variables / get data base content

[Robert Gan]

hey,

i want to use the cms functionality and am mostly satisfied. I prefer to manage the content with the backend CMS future without touching the code to make live easier for my employees (html editor).

So I am wondering now if there is the possiblity to use variables within the CMS / content screens of the admin backend. I mean like using a groovy file and within the html editor I add variables like ${...}

Or do I have to use only FTL in this case? i.ex. I often have to show the company adress, and want my employess not to type it each time. I want them to use just the variable for it.

Hope you understand what I mean.

Thanks in advance

Robert,
Yes, you can do this and you will be using FTL. The ftl template will be stored in ElectronicText table, Set dataTemplateTypeId=FTL for your dataResource. For reference look at data in "specialpurpose/ofbizwebsite/data/OfbizData.xml" file.

thanks for your fast reply :)

I see, so I can use FTL Syntac within:

<textData>

<![CDATA[
]]>

</textData>

Can I use also the Syntax within the HTML / WYSIWYG Editor in backend as well?

because the things between the above named tag overwrite my database content in case that I reload the XML file, so I dont want to write anything between these tags.

please let me know.
