Functional place markers

The following are mainly used Sitekit page layouts .spl files, though again they can be applied in Content layout .scl files and within page bodies.

Breadcrumb

Example:

<BREADCRUMB> 
	<CLASSNAME>breadcrumb</CLASSNAME> 
	<DELIMITER>></DELIMITER>
	<NAVDEPTH>8</NAVDEPTH> 
	<STARTPAGESHORTCUTID>12345</STARTPAGESHORTCUTID>
</BREADCRUMB>

Generic header override

(Added in 10.5) There are new tags <addtohead></addtohead> that can be used to insert any markup into the head section of the page. Similar to <headoverride> used in XSLs but they can be used for anything. can be added to pages, templates or embedded XSL

Example:
Insert the following into any body block on a page...

<addtohead>
       <meta property="og:image" content="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/4cd3ebb0532dbdf95fbabb3fb2a5c2f8dab731de/0_117_5472_3286/master/5472.jpg?w=1200&q=55&auto=format&usm=12&fit=max&s=1ea5aeb7b224fd8a83f02983bda0a3fd"/>
       <meta property="og:type" content="article"/>
       <meta property="og:title" content=":::editorialtitle:::"/>
</addtohead>

...to insert Facebook OpenGraph meta tags into the head.

Sitekit server-side redirect

If you wish a page to redirect to another URL you can use a server-side redirect by adding:-

<sitekit:redirect url="http://the.url.to/redirect.to" type="301" />

 … to a page layout, or a  variable block, or within a BODY block.

This defaults to a 302 unless the optional type declaration says 301. Only 301 and 302 are supported. This can be nested within Sitekit 'if' statements to provide logic, and the redirect will not be followed when the if statement returns false.

Because of the page parse order the redirection can also be embedded in XSL (where it needs to be encoded) to capture or deal with null results for example;

XSL extract

<xsl:template match="Holiday"> 
	<xsl:choose> 
		<xsl:when test="Visible='false' or Visible=''"> 
			<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><sitekit:redirect url="/holiday-not-found.htm"/></xsl:text> 
		</xsl:when> 
		<xsl:otherwise> 
			<xsl:if test=" HolidayTestimonial!=''"> 
				<div id="customer-letters" class="content-box-outer">…</div> 
			</xsl:if> 
		</xsl:otherwise> 
	</xsl:choose> 
</xsl:template>

Script manager includes

(Added in 10.2) The script manager provides a central resource to administer a site's scripts. Each Script is part of a 'script group' and a script group can be made up of several script files, blocks, and their related CSS and dependent jquery library. A script group is rendered using the following call:-

:::include-[script group name]:::

Calling this will render all the individual scripts groups component in the correct location (header, closing body tag, etc) where ever it is placed on a page.

Indexed Search Widget Syntax

Once created, an Indexed Search is deployed as a search form UI on a web page. It requires two elements. the search widget and the results widget

The search widget can be added to a Page Layout, Content Layout, or a Variable Block.

This bit outputs the form to use

<sitekit:search id="Search1" class="Search" action="/search-results.htm" indexname="Search" labeltooltip="" labeltext=" " textboxtooltip="" textboxtext="" textboxplaceholder="" buttontooltip="" buttontext="" />

Indexed Search Result Widget Syntax

Once created, an Indexed Search is deployed as a search form UI on a web page. It requires two elements. the search widget and the results widget

The Result widget can be added to a Page Layout, Content Layout, or a Variable Block.

This bit outputs the list of results

<sitekit:searchresults id="SearchResults1" class="SearchResults" indexname="SiteSearch" />
