l
Delete: Click to delete the resource. This is the same as pressing the Delete key while
the resource is selected.
Scripts pane
The Scripts pane contains all of the scripts that are used to replace data in a template, or to
modify its look; see "Personalizing Content" on page656.
This pane allows to add, edit and manage scripts (see "Managing scripts" on page694).
Scripts can be exported and imported via the buttons or through drag & drop between the
Scripts pane and any location on the computer.
Note
The scripts in the Scripts pane are always executed top-to-bottom. They can be dragged up or down
in the pane to change their order of execution. For example, content loading scripts (snippets with
variable data, for instance) must come before scripts that replace data within that loaded contents.
Note
Scripts included on the Scripts pane are completely distinct from the JavaScript resources found in
the "Resources pane" on page841 (see "Using JavaScript" on page460).
Think of scripts as server-side in the sense that they are executed through the Connect modules
(Server and Content Creation especially). Scripts have access to the whole PlanetPress Connect
JavaScript API (see "Designer Script API" on page1021), such as the record object.
JavaScript resources, on the other hand, are only executed after the content creation is done,
generally in a browser.
Buttons
l
Import...: Click to open a standard Open dialog to import a script. The script must have
the .OL-script extension.
l
Export...: Click to open a standard Save As dialog to save the currently selected scripts to
disk. These scripts can be re-used in other templates. If more than one script is selected,
they are all saved to a single file. If some scripts are inside folders, this folder structure is
kept and will be restored when the scripts are imported.
