#content
The system object #content is available within format templates. It is used to read out the content of the input components CMS_INPUT_DOM or CMS_INPUT_DOMTABLE .
#content can be used to output the content of a table cell (Dom table) or of a section (DOM editor).
The content of a table cell is either output via the format template with the abbreviation td or with the help of the Table function. The content of a DOM editor is output via a format template with activated Section option (e.g. the format template with the abbreviation p).
Example: The output of the table content in the graphic with #content
- of the 1st cell in the 1st row is: 1st row,<br>1st column
- of the 2nd cell in the 1st row: 1st row,<br>2nd column
- etc.
The Table function represents an extension of the format templates table, tr and td. Therefore, the system object #content is also available in this function. |
When other formatting is used (e.g. bold), the format templates are worked through one after the other and the contents are output with #content .
Here is an example: The format template with the abbreviation td (for table cells) contains the following content:
<td>$CMS_VALUE(#content)$</td>
The format template with the abbreviation b (for bold) contains the following content:
*Bold highlighted: <b>$CMS_VALUE(#content)$</b>*
The text entered for a cell is:
A text row with text highlighted in <b>bold</b>.
The output now takes place in two stages:
First the format template td is opened and the #content replaced:
<td>A text row with text highlighted in <b>bold</b> .</td>
Now the area enclosed by the opening and closing b tag has the format template b applied to it and the #content is replaced:
<td>A text row with text highlighted in *bold: <b>bold</b>*.</td>
#content and $CMS_RENDER(...)$
A format template can be addressed by a $CMS_RENDER(...)$ instruction, however, the system object #content cannot be set by $CMS_RENDER(...)$.
Therefore, in this case #content is always null
