Hi James, thanks once again for your answer! ;)
| Your components can parse OGNL automatically by preceding your expression | with "ognl:" in the attribute value. However, you do have to stick with the | OGNL specification and can't just make up your own formats on the fly. If | you want to use OGNL inside your component to parse something, you do have | to use the Ognl.getValue() method(s). You'll have to manually break apart | that expression first and parse the "subparts" based on the comma | separator(s). It would be nice if the hivemind.ObjectTranslator service | weren't private. Then, you could just pass in your sub-expressions and it'd | use the appropriate translator to parse the value based on the prefix. | Maybe you should suggest that to one of the HiveMind team! :-) Well, as this sounds quite difficult I think I will try to use embedded Block components instead (like the contribTable xxxColumnValue Blocks). Do you know by any chance what is necessary to let such a Block render some of the values instead? I've been looking through the source code and as it seems I have to do the following: 1. getComponents() 2. create a ComponentAddress from this IComponent 3. (Block) ComponentAddress().findComponent() => I have the Block component 4. Do I just have to execute Block.renderBody() to let the Block output the relevant part? BUT: getComponents() onlyl returns the components in the AdminPanel html template but not the Block component. Is it possible to use a component html template (and therefore have a BaseComponent-derived component _and_ add some Block components in the body of the same component?
