Using Additional News Fields (Custom Fields)
Content Data Fields
You can create additional data fields by selecting Edit News Fields on the Coranto Administration page. These fileds can be placed into your styles using:
<Field: CustomField_your_field_name>
your_field_name is the name of the field you create not the display name.
User Information Fields
You can add additional fields to hold user information by selecting Edit User Fields from the Coranto administration page.
You use thes fields in your style with this syntax:
<Field: UserField_your_user_field>
where your_user_field is the name of the field you have created. This can be useful for adding display names or other user data.
The ItemAnchor tag
Inserting:
<ItemAnchor>
into your style causes text similar to this:
#newsitemEEVypEklFlWXnIwBKz
to be inserted into your output file. This is intended to be used to create html anchors in the page. Example:
<a name="<ItemAnchor>"></a>
Using the ItemAnchor tag allows you to put the html anchor where you want in your output. You can also set the Anchor Tags? profile settings to Yes (On) to have the anchors inserted automatically.
