The following pages explain how to use programming logic in Content Server templates to display information based on the value of specific content item properties. This specification applies to Plumtree Content Server 6.0. Functions that do not exist in earlier versions are noted.
Key Terms and Basic Syntax: Before adding any Content Server elements to your templates, make sure you understand the terminology and basic syntax rules used by Content Server.
Content Server Elements: Content Server <pcs> tags allow you to insert programming logic within a Content Server template to display properties and content from the associated content item.
Using Properties in Content Server Elements: The names of system-defined and user-defined properties can be used in a template to refer to the corresponding property values for the current content item.
Using Expressions in Content Server Elements: Any Content Server tag that accepts a property can also use a general expression. An expression attribute's value can be a general expression (one or more expressions combined with an operator), a property name, a constant, or a function call.
Using Paths in Content Server Elements: Many Content Server tags use a path to reference a Content Server object. A path string is similar to a filesystem path or URL, with specific syntax requirements.
Date String Formatting: The Value element allows you to set the time format for dates using a time pattern string. The format date string conforms to the Java language's SimpleDateFormat definition.
