Short codes are small text snippets that can be entered into any page via the code widget or the various text Brics that come with Blocs. When a project is exported, these codes are replaced with common project variables such as the page name, title or base url. Short codes can be really useful when developing custom Blocs, Brics and page templates.
Available Codes
%pageName% – Page Name
%pageTitle% – Page Title
%pageFileName% – Page File Name
%keywords% – SEO Keywords
%description% – SEO Description
%pageURL% – Page URL
%baseURL% – Base URL
The base url and page url short codes require that the web address url in project settings is populated.
Using Short Codes in Custom Bric Template Files
When using short codes within a custom Bric template file, developers should write their template code to take into consideration the likelihood of a custom Bric being added in the global area, causing the template file to be used by every page on the site. This will naturally affect the page specific short codes. If a page short code (%pageName%) is used in a template file that is placed within a Global area, upon export the value will be blank.
