NOTE
Metadata Function
Custom PHP Functions
For more information about passing the id value as a url parameter, see ”Dynamic
Content Block” on page 494.
If the id value or ekfrm value does not exist, a blank template
appears.
If the url parameter is not passed in or recognized, the function
calls ecmContentBlock and passes the DefaultID value as the id
argument. If the DefaultID value is zero (0), ecmContentBlock is
not called.
The metadata function is used to display the metadata for one or
more content blocks in the Ektron CMS400.NET Web site.
Inserting this custom function allows you to generate the list of
metadata that is edited by the authors, and insert it in the source of
the Web page. Shown below is an example of what the metadata
custom function looks like.:
This function is basically the same as the Metadata function in
ASP. See ”Metadata Function” on page 445 for details.
The only difference between the PHP function and the ASP one is
the syntax for implementing it. The PHP examples are below.
To include both content blocks’ metadata in the web page, an
ecmMetadata call would look like this.
