How to include forms into FTL?

[Bruno Busco]

Hi,
I need to include a form widget from an ftl file.

Is there an instruction equivalent to:
     ${screens.render(ScreenLocation, ScreenName)}

but for forms?

Something like
     ${forms.render(FormLocation, FormName)}


Many thanks for any help.

Hi Bruno,

Look at HtmlFormWrapper usage in  EditShipment.groovy and
EditShipment.ftl for an example.

Thank you Bilgin,
there is no way to do everything in the FTL?
I need to add a groovy?

 I'm not aware of a way to do it in ftl. But may be you can create a
generic screen, which has only one form and takes the form name and
location from context. Then in your ftl you can set the form name and
location and render the screen. Just an idea.

Yes, I think that you need to prepare the object in a script; it would be nice to create an ftl transformation to do this directly in the freemarker template.

Kind regards,

Sorry for the basic question.
But how can I pass a parameter from an FTL to an included screen ?

I mean, I have this:

FTL file
      <#list portalPagePortlets as portlet>
...
                  <#if (portlet.editFormName?has_content &&
portlet.editFormLocation?has_content)>

${screens.render("component://common/widget/PortalPageScreens.xml",
"EditPortlet")}
                  </#if>
...
      </#list>

and in the PortalPageScreens.xml file:

    <screen name="EditPortlet">
            <widgets>
                <include-form name="${portlet.editFormName}"
location="${portlet.editFormLocation}"/>
            </widgets>
        </section>
    </screen>

The fields portlet.editFormName and portlet.editFormLocation have no
value in the screen. How can I make the FTL file set a field in the
context?

Thank you,
Bruno
