There are different variants of Custom components:
-
Custom and Custom (page) components allow developers to run HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code edited in the Fluid Topics interface.
-
Live and Live (page) components allow developers to run HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code from a local HTTP server.
Developers cannot publish these components publicly. Developers can convert Live components to Custom components for public use. See Live component procedure.
-
Custom (page) and Live (page) components can read the current page's metadata when using pagination. They are otherwise identical to Custom and Live components.
-
Custom (search) and Live (search) components can access information about the current search request in a Search block. They are otherwise identical to Custom and Live components.
As for all components, only one person at a time should edit a Custom component to avoid conflicts.
PORTAL_ADMIN users can only edit Custom components if an ADMIN user has disabled the Custom components toggle.
- By default, Live components do not appear in published designed pages. Developers can display Live components in published designed pages locally by adding
?version=draftat the end of a URL. - The Custom component screencast also contains information about configuring a Custom component.
