[section="my_section_clone_0"] h1 { color: red; }
[section="my_section_clone_1"] h1 { color: green; }
[section="my_section_clone_2"] h1 { color: blue; }
The same selector could be used in personalization scripts:
Selector: [section="my_section_clone_0"] h1
Script: results.css('color','red');
Inside a Standard Script, cloned sections can be found using merge.section:
if (merge.section == "my_section_clone_0") {
results.html("Clone!");
} else {
results.html("Original.");
}
Note that in a Control Script, merge.section is only defined when the output channel is WEB;
see "merge" on page1405.
Examples
Cloning a section based on the number of records in a detail table
This script creates as many clones of a section as there are records in a detail table. It assigns
the new sections a unique name.
var printSections = merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections;
var numClones = record.tables['detail'].length;
for( var i = 0; i < numClones; i++){
var clone = printSections["Section 1"].clone();
clone.name = "my_section_clone_" + i;
printSections["Section 1"].addAfter(clone);
}
Cloning a section based on data and assigning a background PDF
This script clones a section based on data fields. It disables the source section first and then
calls the addPolicy function. addPolicy clones the section, renames it and sets a PDF from the
resources as its background. It explicitly enables the clone and then adds it to the Print context.
var printSections = merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections;
merge.template.contexts.PRINT.sections["Policy"].enabled = false;
