Excerpt

Renders the contents of a database field on the article detail page (when zoned layout is in use). The field can be Applicable for an existing one from field in the Article table , or a custom field one created specifically for articles.

 


Example of Widget Use

Following is an example of the widget in use.

In the example below, we've created an 'email' Custom Field for articles. This lets us save an email address against each article, and the Article Field widget displays it. This allows the relevant contact person's address to be shown on each post.

LayerThe layer the widget is valid for.

The layering technology allows for the content to be shown to specific audiences.

This is handy if the content is only valid for a certain type of user, or if the same widget is required for more than one audience, but different configuration is needed.

The widget can be added to the zone more than once and the layer feature can determine which audience can see each widget.
