    soArticle

    Tag Name
    soArticle
    soArticleFull

    Description
    Displays an article or blog posting on the page. If you use the soArticleFull format, then the result will be a 2-column display with the article on one side and a list of other topics/articles, tags, dates, etc. on the left (some sites may display slightly differently).

    Required Parameters
    none

    Optional Parameters
    • display: "html" or "flash"
    • id: ID # of the article to show

      NOTE: On some sites, you can set up a single page to act as a "container" or "template" for all of your blog postings.  In this case, you would leave the id value blank, and then pass the id in the URL of the page like this: www.mysite.com/pages/page.asp?page_id=123&articleId=444

    • commentBy: allows site administrators to change the visible name shown for commenters. This is useful if your commenters wish to use a nickname or other surname for their comments, rather than to show their standard first name and last name. You would store their nickname in one of 5 custom fields, available in the Manage Users area of the Admin Console.

    Examples
    {soArticle()}

    In the above example, the article or blog posting will show in a simple format (single column). The exact article shown will be determined by the link that the user clicks to get to this page (use in concert with the soHeadlines tag).

    {soArticleFull(id=123,commentBy=custom1)}

    In the above example, the article or blog posting with id #123 will be shown on the page, and users who post comments will be identified by whatever name is in their Custom 1 fields (this is rare; you would manage these fields in the Manage Users area of the Admin Console).
