You use a placeholder tag to display metadata within an element design.
<placeholder tag=" " htmlencode=" " start=" " end=" " /> | |
---|---|
<placeholder | Opens a Placeholder Tag. |
tag=" " | Determines which placeholder is being referenced:
|
htmlencode=" " | If htmlencode="true" the reserved HTML characters in
the source will be converted into character entities. For example, '<'
will be converted to '<'. This is useful if you would like to prevent
users adding malicious code, or if you want to prevent users changing the
look and feel of their text using HTML. If not specified, the default
setting specified in the WCMConfigService.properties file
located in the was_profile_root/PortalServer/wcm/config/ directory
is used. By default, this is set to "true":cmpnt.htmlEncodeDefault=true |
start=" "
end=" " | The start and end attributes are used to wrap the data returned by a tag within other tags, such as HTML. These attributes are not mandatory. |
/> | This closes the tag. |
Name | Used to display the name of the site area or content being retrieved in a menu or navigator. This can also be used when you create a user name component, where you can add a placeholder tag in the design and specify tag="name" to render the name of the user. |
Title | Used to display the title of the site area or content being retrieved in a menu or navigator. |
dn | This is for when you create a user name component. You can add a placeholder tag in the design and specify tag="dn" to render the distinguished name of the user. |
HREF | This inserts a link to the page of the site area or content being retrieved in a menu or navigator. |
noprefixhref | The URLs generated by "HREF" parameter will be fully qualified when viewed through a portal. To generate URLs with no prefix, use the "noprefixhref" parameter instead of the "HREF" parameter. |
NameLink | This is a combination of the name and HREF tags. It assembles a complete link based on the name of the item being returned. |
noprefixnameLink | The URLs generated by "nameLink" parameter will be fully qualified when viewed through a portal. To generate URLs with no prefix, use the "noprefixnameLink" parameter instead of the "nameLink" parameter. |
TitleLink | This is a combination of the title and HREF tags. It assembles a complete link based on the title of the item being returned. |
noprefixtitleLink | The URLs generated by "titleLink" parameter will be fully qualified when viewed through a portal. To generate URLs with no prefix, use the "noprefixtitleLink" parameter instead of the "titleLink" parameter. |
Note: Using a URLCmpnt tag.
The URLCmpnt tag is used to generate a URL to a site, site area or content item and can be used as an alternative to a placeholder when generating a URL. This is particularly useful when creating links to Web content displayed within rendering portlets. | |
sitepath | This is similar to the HREF placeholder except that
it only display the site path of an items URL.
For example, an HREF placeholder tag displaying a content item may give you:
Whereas the site path will give you:
For example, an HREF placeholder tag displaying a site area may give you:
Whereas the site path will give you:
|
Idnum | This returns the hexadecimal id value of an item. This can be used when creating static URLs in menus and navigators. You could hard-code the site/site area path in a menu or navigator element design and use the Idnum for each content item being displayed. This would allow you to display content with a different presentation template (for example, a printer friendly presentation template) or use different security settings. |
Listnum | Displays a single column list of numbered links:
|
Treenum | Displays a hierarchical numbered list:
1.0 |
Paddedtreenum | Similar to Treenum, but the numbers are padded:
0001 |
Depth | Displays the depth of the currently processed node (in a navigator or menu) as a number. A top-level node has a depth of 1. |
