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 " > " |
