Acai Modular System

Modules

Modules are the visual building blocks of Acai websites. Each module lives in template/estandar/modulos/<module-id>/.

File Structure

<module-id>/
├── index-base.tpl    # Source template (EDIT THIS)
├── index.tpl         # Compiled output (auto-generated, do NOT edit)
├── index-twig.tpl    # Compiled Twig output (auto-generated, do NOT edit)
├── builder.json      # Compiled builder vars (auto-generated, do NOT edit)
├── style.css         # Module-scoped styles
└── script.js         # Module JavaScript

Template Syntax

Templates use a hybrid of Twig and Acai attributes. The source file is always index-base.tpl.

<section class="hero-section" id="{{ section_id }}">
  <div class="container mx-auto px-4">
    <h2 data-field-type="headfield" class="text-3xl font-bold">
      Title here
    </h2>
    <p data-field-type="textbox" class="text-lg text-gray-600">
      Description text
    </p>
    <img data-field-type="upload" src="placeholder.jpg" class="w-full rounded-lg" />
    <a data-field-type="link" href="#" class="btn">Call to action</a>
  </div>
</section>

Including Modules from Other Modules

<module_id :param1="value1" :param2="'string value'"></module_id>

Parameters are received as variables inside the included module.

Global Variables

Variable	Description
`section_id`	Unique ID per module instance (use for anchors, JS scoping)
`interno`	`true` when viewing in CMS editor, `false` on public site
`server.HTTP_HOST`	Current domain
`loop.index`	1-based iteration index (inside `c-for`)
`loop.index is odd` / `loop.index is even`	For alternating layouts

General Sections

General sections are database-backed templates used for record views, headers, footers, and reusable layouts. They use the same template engine as modules.

Key Differences from Modules

Access record data via the thisrecord variable
Upload fields return arrays: thisrecord.image[0].urlPath
Additional upload metadata: info1 (alt text), info2, info3, info4
Foreign key fields use _num suffix: thisrecord.category_num
Saved via save_general_section() (not save_module())
Parser type 2 = Twig (recommended), 0 = Acai legacy syntax

Example: Record Template

<article class="product-card">
  <img src="{{ thisrecord.imagen[0].urlPath }}"
       alt="{{ thisrecord.imagen[0].info1 }}"
       class="w-full h-64 object-cover" />
  <h3 class="text-xl font-semibold">{{ thisrecord.nombre }}</h3>
  <p class="text-gray-600">{{ thisrecord.descripcion | raw }}</p>
  <span class="text-2xl font-bold">{{ thisrecord.precio }}€</span>
</article>

Variable Assignment

Use <set> tag to create variables from queries:

<set :categories="'categorias' | get()"></set>
<set :featured="'productos' | get({destacado: 1}, 'orden ASC', 3)"></set>

Repeatable Content (multiv2)

The multiv2 builder field type creates repeatable groups of fields:

<div c-for="item in record.items">
  <h3 data-field-type="textfield">{{ item.title }}</h3>
  <p data-field-type="textbox">{{ item.description }}</p>
  <img data-field-type="upload" src="{{ item.image }}" />
</div>

Access individual items: record.items[0].title, record.items[1].image, etc.
