Static List Element Dialog

A static list combines the power and flexibility of a fragment with the contribution capabilities of an element in Contributor. A static list can bundle multiple elements together in a table-like layout. Contributors can then add, edit, delete, and rearrange rows and columns of information. You can control the static list options that are available to a contributor using this dialog. This particular element is a legacy technique.

Element Description
ID The identification that Site Studio assigns to the element.
Name The name you assign to the element. This is used for coding purposes and as such should not contain spaces, or non-ASCII or special characters.

If you reuse the same data file on multiple page templates, then the name of the region and its elements on each page must be the same.

Label Briefly describes the element. The label displays beside the field in Contributor to let individual contributors know what content should go there.
Info Provides a more detailed description of the element. This description appears as a tooltip when contributors hover their mouse over the Info icon in Contributor.
Type Indicates the type of element you are adding.
Actions Actions determine the available editing options for a contributor:

Undo: Contributors can undo their last edit.

Redo: Contributors can redo their last edit.

Add Item: Contributors can add a row or column to the list.

Remove Item: Contributors can remove a row or column from the list.

Edit Existing Item: Contributors can edit a row or column in the list.

Move Item Up: Contributors can move a row up in the list.

Move Item Down: Contributors can move a row down in the list.

Insert link: Contributors can create hyperlinks.

  • Link Settings: Opens the Link Settings dialog (see Link Settings Dialog), where you specify a contributor's linking options.

Remove link: Contributors can remove hyperlinks.

Edit hyperlink targets: Contributors can edit the file that is the target of a hyperlink (using the Element menu and right-click menu).

Actions

(continued)

Insert Image: Contributors can add/replace images (gif, jpg, and png).
  • Set QueryText: Opens the Edit Query Text dialog (see Edit Query Text Dialog), where you specify the query that is used in the content server to display images to the contributor.

  • Show Results Only (On/Off): Shows or hides the content server environment when a contributor searches for images.

Apply CSS Classes: Contributors can apply different classes from a Cascading Style Sheet to text and graphics. If you enable this option, you should probably disable other formatting options (like font face, font size, bold, and italic) to more strictly enforce your CSS classes.

  • Set Class Names: Opens the Select CSS Classes dialog (see Select CSS Classes Dialog), where you specify the classes that is available in Contributor.

Validation: Used to validate the content added in Contributor (allowing you to enforce certain content requirements for contributors).

Apply HTML Tags: Used to determine which tags are available to Contributors who edit in HTML.

  • Set Tag Names: Open to select specific tags that are allowed for Contributors. See "" for more information.

Set Element Height: Used to set a fixed height of the element.

  • Set Height: Use to set the height of the element by entering a number and the unit of measurement (centimeters, millimeters, inches, percent, picas, pixels, points).

Do Not Enclose Text in Editor: Used to define how carriage returns are handled in HTML. If text is enclosed, each time the contributor enters a return, a paragraph is created. If not enclosed, a line break is inserted for each return.
