Navon: how to refer to slots

Rhythmyx Technical Discussion

We have recently upgraded to 6.5.2 and i am trying to implement old XSLT apps using the new ways.

Our navigation is mostly manual. We have a related content slot nav_left_manual that is filled in for secondary left nav items.

The nav_landing_page slot content added to the Navon is the primary left nav item

I am not sure how to reference these two things using the new Velocity/JEXL methods and would appreciate any hints you gurus can give.

Thanks

Is this slot on the Navon, or is it on the Landing Page item?

In either case, Slots that were implemented in the XSL assembly model should work just fine in Velocity. You refer to them with the same Macros that you do with newly created slots.

If the slot is on the Navon (so that it applies equally to all pages in the section), then you just need to add one of the #slot macros to the “NavLeft” template.

I hope that helps
