[opencms-dev] [External] process for creating/using dynamic function in openCms 13

[Eichmann, David A]

Jochen,

Thanks for the hint! The time example works fine, as does the creation of a D3-based bar chart. I’m now working on an example using datatables. The dynamic function appears in the wizard list, but I get no highlighting of content sections when I attempt to drag-and-drop onto a content page. The dynamic function definition of all three are basically the same, with the exception, of course, of which JSP they reference. Any notion of why the drag-and-drop is not enabling?

I get the creation of the JSP and the XML files, but I’m not seeing the new dynamic function when attempting to use it in a content page. Where is the appropriate placement for the definition files and how to I get openCms to present the function as an option for placement in an element?  Thanks!
