Show element that is child of Reusable Element

[alex60]

Hi all,
My first post! Thanks in advance for any help - these forums have been a great help so far. I have done a search and couldn’t find anything relevant, surprisingly:

I have a reusable element that I use for my page header. Within this header, I have a Popup element.

Now, I want to create a workflow from a page that uses said header that, as an action, shows the Popup. However, when I select Step:Element Actions:Show, I can only see the header itself as a selectable Element, as well as all of the page’s elements, but I can’t see any of the children of the header.

Am I doing something wrong, or is there some sort of workaround?

Can’t you just add popup and WF to show pop-up right on the reusable element level?

The action is triggered by something on call it Page A. ie. its not triggered by something in the reusable element

Make a custom event inside your reusable that shows the popup, then on your page do the Trigger a custom event from a reusable element action

Oh nice, thanks a lot!
