Your TML page should have a grid component, in there you would have a parameter defined as such:
<t:parameter name="storyCell"> ${storyexcerpt} </t:parameter> Also you should assign the 'row' parameter of the grid component to a property value in your page: @Property private 'Entity' gridRow; And then in your page you would have a public get method: public String getStoryExcerpt() { return StringUtils.abbreviate(gridRow.getStory(),30); } Where StringUtils comes from the org.apache.commons.lang package. -- View this message in context: http://tapestry.1045711.n5.nabble.com/t-type-grid-Excerpt-column-tp4708859p4711160.html Sent from the Tapestry - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tapestry.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tapestry.apache.org
