Editables
The editables are placeholders in the templates, which are displayed as input widgets in the admin interface (so called editmode) and output the content in frontend mode. They are the essential part of managing content in documents.
Example Usage
The following code makes the <h1> headline editable in a document:
<h1>{{ opendxp_input("headline") }}</h1>
In some cases, especially with areablocks, editables could throw exceptions. Since OpenDXP internally uses the __toString method to render
the editables, OpenDXP can't throw exceptions there. Therefore OpenDXP catches the exception, and puts it out as string if DEBUG Mode is enabled.
To prevent that and to have OpenDXP throw the Exception, you can call editables like:
<h1>{{ opendxp_input("headline").render()|raw }}</h1>
OpenDXP automatically displays an input widget in the edit mode and renders the content when accessing the document via the frontend.
