Referencing Personalization content

The "AttributeResource" tag is used as a placeholder to display attributes from a content spot or rule within a Personalization element design. It cannot be used in a presentation template or other element types.

<AttributeResource attributeName="ibmcm: " format=" " separator=" " start=" " end=" " />

<AttributeResource

Opens an element tag.

attributeName=
"ibmcm: "

This is the name of the attribute you would like to display from a content spot or Personalization rule. When selecting a content spot or Personalization rule in a Personalization element form, the list of attributes for each content spot or Personalization rule is listed in the right-hand view.The attribute must always be prefixed by "ibmcm:
attributeName="ibmcm:attribute"
The following attribute names can be used:

  • ibmcm:title

  • ibmcm:description

  • ibmcm:modifiedDate

  • ibmcm:expirationDate

  • ibmcm:effectiveDate

  • ibmcm:authors

  • ibmcm:categories

  • ibmcm:keywords

  • ibmcm:owners

  • ibmcm:wcmId
format=" "

When referencing number or date elements:

In this case, the format is used to specify the display format of dates and numbers. The following formats can be defined when displaying dates:

  • format="DATE_SHORT"

  • format="DATE_MEDIUM"

  • format="DATE_LONG"

  • format="DATE_FULL"

  • format="DATE_TIME_SHORT"

  • format="DATE_TIME_MEDIUM"

  • format="DATE_TIME_LONG"

  • format="DATE_TIME_FULL"

  • format="TIME_SHORT"

  • format="TIME_MEDIUM"

  • format="TIME_LONG"

  • format="TIME_FULL"

  • format="relative" (The relative date will be displayed as either "today", "yesterday" or the number of days ago.)
You can also set user-defined formats for both dates and numbers.

When referencing user details:

When formatting user details, the format parameter is used to define which LDAP parameter to use when displaying user details. For example:

  • format="cn" is used to display the common name.

  • format="dn" is used to display the distinguished name.

Maximum character length:

You can also specify a maximum number of characters to display by using this format:

  • format="length:number_of_characters"
For example, to display a maximum of ten characters you would specify the following parameter:

  • format="length:10"
separator=" " Used to separate each result returned by the personalization rule. For example, separator=", "
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 a tag.
Note: Referencing Web content components retrieved by a Personalization rule or content spot. To display the results of a Personalization rule that searches for components, use a Component tag with a context of "autofill". For example:

Parent topic: Personalization element Parent topic: Referencing elements Related concepts
Using start and end attributes Related reference
