Collection Variables
DisplayFunction
Custom ColdFusion Functions
As you can see, the ecmTeaser function is a simple ASP function
that creates a table of the links that belong to the collection
specified.
The ecmTeaser function also displays the:
• Content Title
• Date Modified
• Content Teaser
XML Collection Function
See ”Collection Attributes” on page 424
The display function defines how collection data appears on a Web
page. Using ColdFusion scripting, you can create your own display
functions, or use the three included functions.
The XML collection function wraps XML around the parameters of
a list of content that’s created as a collection in the Ektron
CMS400.NET Workarea. Once created you can use the XML to
display the collection information. The ecmCollectionXML function
allows you to easily define how the collection data appears on the
Web page.
Shown here is the format of the ecmCollection function.
