Meta Data Rendering
Various meta data can be stored in topics -
MetaDataDefinition
This is rendered using the %META% variable. This is mostly used in the
view,
preview and
edit scripts.
At present support is fairly basic:
| Variable usage: | Comment: |
%META{"form"}% | Show form data, see Form Templates |
%META{"attachments"}% | Show attachments, excluding hidden ones. Options: all="on": Show all attachments i.e. including hidden ones |
%META{"moved"}% | Details of any topic moves |
%META{"parent"}% | Show topic parent. Options: dontrecurse="on": By default recurses up tree, this has some cost. nowebhome="on": Suppress WebHome. prefix="...": Prefix that goes before parents, but only if there are parents, default "". suffix="...": Suffix, only appears if there are parents, default "". separator="...": Separator between parents, default is " > ". |
Possible future additions:
- Rendering of form data to alternate formats e.g. bullet lists
- Specify a template to be used for rendering
