Simple custom field example

gistfile1.js

## This example uses a custom field that is called "test" and has the variable name "test"

## first we get the content (we have access to all our 
## velocity tools, including any custom ones that have been written


#set($content = $dotcontent.find($request.getParameter("inode")))


## then we write some ugly js to get and set the values on the edit content form - 
## the dom.id of the hidden field that stores the value is just the velocity variable name
## so watch out for js variable scope issues

<script>
	function myButtonClick(){
		var x = document.getElementById('test').value;

		if(x==undefined || x.length==0){
			x=0;
		}
		else{
			x=parseInt(x)+1;
		}
		document.getElementById('test').value=x;
		document.getElementById('customValue').innerHTML=x;
	}
</script>






## then we write out our user controls, displaying the value stored in the content object by default
## with a button (dojo styled) that calls our js

Custom Value: <span id="customValue">$!content.test</span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
<button dojoType="dijit.form.Button" id="myButton" onclick="myButtonClick">Click me!</button>
