The VROOM Tag System

Tags are used to insert dynamic content into your Templates and Includes. For example, if you want to output a list of your pages, then you simply create an HTML <ul> tag and then use the {navigation} tag within it. Or, if you wish to output the name of the page, you can insert the {page:title} tag in your text. Please note that most tags will work only from within a Template or Include, but some tags will work at block level; for example, image and file tags.

General Tags

  • {blockX} - Creates an editable block region, where X is the number of the region
  • {image:REFERENCE} - Inserts an image, based on the reference
  • {thumb:REFERENCE} - Inserts an image thumbnail, based on the reference
  • {file:REFERENCE} - Produces a download link for a file, based on the reference
  • {include:REFERENCE} - Inserts the code from an Include, based on the reference
  • {webform:REFERENCE} - Inserts the code for a web form, based on the reference

Headline Tags

Headline tags are described in more detail on the various module-specific pages, since their content depends largely on the module for which they are generating code. Please note that headlines tags are "loop tags" which must be closed at the end of the loop using a tag that matches the opening tag (e.g., {/headlines:MODULE}), and the headline tags are placed within the loop to generate the appropriate information for each item.
