How can I render component link field in a DWT?

I have a schema containing a multi-value field of type component link.

How can I render this field (component link with its template) when I write a DWT TBB for this component?

Solution

  • A Component Link field links to a Component - it does not specify a template. So I'll assume you want to specify the Component Template to use on the DWT.

    <!-- TemplateBeginRepeat name="Component.Fields.YourComponentLinkFieldName" -->
   @RenderComponentPresentation(Field, "tcm:1-2-32")@@
<!-- TemplateEndRepeat -->

    So this loops over all values of the multi-value field names YourComponentLinkFieldName and render the Component linked in there with Component Template tcm:1-2-32.
