Parameter substitution in controls
----------------------------------
Key: MAGNOLIA-1381
URL: http://jira.magnolia.info/browse/MAGNOLIA-1381
Project: Magnolia
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: templating
Affects Versions: 3.0.1
Environment: any
Reporter: Boris Kraft
Assigned To: Philipp Bracher
It would be useful in certain situations to have the ability to enter
parameters like the page name or page title as content into controls.
As an example, take the keywords of Magnolia's partner section. Each country
where we have partners has its own page with a list of these partners. The
keywords for the page Benelux (the countries of Belgium, Netherlands and
Luxemburg) will be something like:
Magnolia Benelux, Magnolia Partner Benelux, CMS Benelux, ECM Benelux, CMS
support Benelux, ECM support Benelux, ...
I have to enter this information for each page, potentially lots of them times
lots of pages = a whole lot of work. Ideally it should be possible to say
instead:
Magnolia $PAGE_NAME, Magnolia Partner $PAGE_NAME, CMS $PAGE_NAME, ECM
$PAGE_NAME, CMS support $PAGE_NAME, ECM support $PAGE_NAME, ...
We could go so far as to allow any nodeName of our dialogs (how do we know
their names?) as a parameter. (need to avoid circular references, though).
By the way, this seems to be another example of one earlier issue I filed of
introducing per-control filters/plugins that manipulate the content before
saving and displaying.
Finally, it would be useful to determine per control if we want to inherit its
content, in which case I might be able to enter this information only once,
possible in an "invisible" paranet page ("hide from navigation").
I am not sure that anyone else would find these features useful, so I put it
out here for your feedback.
