Component With A Slot - Only Slot Available To Edit

[whitemedia]

Hi,

Following some of the examples in Max’s WDM, I have been trying to create a Component using the Grid element, which contains three cells:

Cell 1: Headline with parameters
Cell 2: Text with parameters
Cell 3: Slot

The Grid is being exported. I have tried exporting it with and without Prefab selected.

When I use this new Component in a page, only the Slot is active and available to use. The Headline and Text elements have parameters against them (which show correctly in the Cornerstone builder). However, when I use the Component in a page, the Headline and Text do not have parameter options available, just the Slot.

Is this a setting error by me, or is it not possible to create a setup like I am trying to create?

Thanks,
Christopher

Hello @whitemedia,

The elements should be wired and be contained with the parent component. Your Grid element should have the parameters like for example:

{
  "el1"  : {
    "type"    : "group",
    "label"   : "Heading",
    "params"  : {
      "heading" : {
        "label"       : "Heading",
        "type"        : "text",
        "initial"     : "Your Heading",
        "placeholder" : "e.g. Your Heading"
      }
    }
  },
  "el2"  : {
    "type"    : "group",
    "label"   : "Paragraph",
    "params"  : {
      "paragraph" : {
        "label"       : "paragraph",
        "type"        : "text-editor",
        "initial"     : "Enter your text here.",
        "placeholder" : "e.g. Your paragraph text"
      }
    }
  }
}

And then wire it up to the Headline and Text element with {{dc:p:el1.heading}} and {{dc:p:el2.paragraph}} so that when you export the Grid as a Component, both of those elements will be included.

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks @ruenel. That worked.
