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 for attachments: |
all="on" | Show all attachments i.e. including hidden ones |
%META{"moved"}% | Details of any topic moves |
%META{"parent [options]"}% | Show topic parent |
options for parent: |
dontrecurse="on" | By default recurses up tree, this has some cost |
prefix="..." | Prefix that goes before parents, but only if there are parents, default "" |
suffix="..." | Suffix, only appears if there are parents, default "" |
seperator="..." | Seperator 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
