Loading a snippet via a script
Instead of dragging it into the content directly, it is possible, and often very useful, to load a
snippet dynamically. Create a script (see "Writing your own scripts" on page515) and in the
code, use the following function:
results.loadhtml(‘snippets/nameofthesnippet.html’)
This function will insert the snippet in the content at any position where the script's selector is
encountered.
For more examples, see "loadhtml()" on page761.
Note
Make sure that the file name is exactly the same as the file in the Snippets folder. If the
file name isn’t correct, the snippet will not appear in the template.
Loading part of a snippet
When a snippet contains a part that can be identified by a selector, that selector can be used to
load that part of the snippet into a template.
In script, use the following code:
results.loadhtml(‘snippets/nameofthesnippet.html’, ‘selector’)
See "loadhtml()" on page761 for more information about this function.
Loading a snippet, depending on the value of a data field
To load a snippet depending on the value of a data field, you have to add a condition to the
script.
Example
The following script evaluates if the value of the LANGUAGE field in the record is ‘En’. If so, the
snippet is added to the content.
