    About soTags

    Special Operation tags, or "s.o." tags, allow you to embed various types of dynamic information in the middle of a static page body area. For instance, you may wish to have an active calendar shown below/above some text that you have typed. Or in another example, you might want to create a page that automatically shows the latest Staff listing.

    In these cases, you would simply type your page body, and place a tag in the location where you want the dynamic content to appear. Each time a visitor to your Website views that page, they will not see the tag—but instead, the tag's dynamic output in its place.

    Example
    Here is my photo gallery:
    {soScrapbook(id=123)}

    (This will place a dynamic photo gallery on the page in place of the tag.)

    Tag Structure and Guidelines
    • Tags are always surrounded by curly braces: "{" and "}".
    • The tag name always appears first, followed by opening and closing parenthesis: "(" and ")".
    • Inside the parentheses, you may place required or optional attributes. For instance, you may need to tell the tag which scrapbook to show, which group calendar should appear, how many events to show in a features box, etc.
    • If you are using multiple attributes, you may list them in any order and you can separate them with commas or pipes: "|".  
     
    NOTE: In order to view the results of a tag, you must preview the page in a Web browser.  You will not see the tag functioning while you are editing the tag in the SiteOrganic Page Editor.
