CMS Made Simple Forums

Sometimes it is not obvious what the internal name of a page property is that you defined with a content block. Special characters and umlauts for example are translated to ASCII and you need this name in order to access a certain property with CGSimpleSmarty or your own Modules and PHP Tags.

To get all internal property names of a page, open the table `cms_content` in your database. The column `prop_names` contains all available page properties and their internal name.

or use {get_template_vars} in your template. It will show all the available variables with their value.

It's not the same thing.

{get_template_vars} shows defined vars but the database reveals the name of defined content blocks.
