Extra Page Attributes - how to use for choosing images in a template?

[ottom]

Hello,

I have noticed that there are additional attributes to each site. Thus I am wondering if these additional attribute fields can be used somehow for choosing (background-) images in the used template (instead of creating a new template for each document topic).

Unfortunatelly the documentation is incomplete as always:
http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... /Edit_Page

The additional attributes are not mentioned at all:

Smarty data or logic that is specific to this page:
Extra Page Attribute 1:
Extra Page Attribute 2:
Extra Page Attribute 3:

The question is how to access the data entered in these fields.

To get the value of the first one;

$content_obj->GetPropertyValue('extra1')

When I use this in the template:

Code: Select all

{$content_obj->GetPropertyValue('extra1')}

it brings the smarty error.

In my codes, I call these extra fields like this:
1) I installed CGSimpleSmarty module
2) then call this

Code: Select all

{$cgsimple->get_page_content($content_id,"extra1")}

You can also first aassign this value to the variable, e.g.

Code: Select all

{$cgsimple->get_page_content($content_id,"extra1","page_background")}

and then call it where you need it:

Code: Select all

{$page_background}

Well if you need that extra content in your template, there are several methods to get that.
