hi folks,
can I use handlebars-partials in componentView and if so, can you please give me a short example how to do it?
Thanks in advance,

handlebars partials
Re: handlebars partials
Hi Tom,
There's already a components.hbs partial in contrib-vanilla for displaying component title/body/instruction which can modified. What is it that you're looking to do?
Re: handlebars partials
Hi Tom,
thanks for your reply and sorry for my delayed response.
What I want to do is to substitute the question-texts of some standard components (e.g. multiple-choice) with audio. For this, I developed a small audio-plugin based on jPlayer which merely displays two buttons (a play/pause- and a stop-button). I'd like to serve this player as handlebars-partial and integrate it into the given component, as above-mentioned. Despite I'm absolute new to backbone and handlebars, I managed to deal with partials in standard handlebars-templates (with its script-tags, Handlebars.registerPartial etc.), but the mechanism seems to be different in adapt-framework. So, here are my questions:
1. Do I have to name the partial? Normaly this is done by give an id-argument in the script-tag of the partial itself, but in adapt-handlebars-templates there are no script-tags at all. How do I name the partial in adapt? Do I have to store the partial in a certain folder?
2. Do I have to register the partial in ComponentView.extend or elsewhere and if so, how?
Regards, Tom
Re: handlebars partials
Looking at the handlebars config in the Gruntfile, the handlebars process assumes any .hbs file found in a 'partials' folder within the components, extensions, menu or theme folders is a handlebars partial.
The quickest and easiest way to do this would be to drop the partial .hbs file into your theme (src/THEME/templates/partials/)
Alternatively, you can create an extension to house your partials. Simply including a 'partials' folder with the relevant .hbs files in the root of your extension should do the trick here.
Let me know how you get on :)
