HowTo: Include custom PRADO components

Static components

Including static components - static means, that they do not have parameters, editable by the LContainer admin, is very easy.

Example

• Create two files for your components. A .php file with a class which extends LBrick and a .tpl file.

• Put the contents in your component .tpl into a TContentPlaceHolder

  <com:TContent ID="ContentPlaceholder">
    <div class="Large">I am a static brick.</div>
  </com:TContent>

• Make sure you have the component in your namespace.

• Add the class name to LCell config in application.xml, like

  <parameter
    classname="LCell"
    id="AvailableBricks"
    value="LNoteBrick,LContentBrick,MyContentBrick" />

• Login as admin and you can add your new component to any LCell.
