How To Define Global Tags

Global tags are Radius rags like that work on all pages and do not require specifying a Behavior for the page.

If you have deployed Radiant with the—unpack switch, you can edit app/models/page_context.rb directly.

Alternatively you can write an extension, as covered in Creating_Radiant_Extensions?.

Examples

If Children Exist

To create a new tag that only renders its content when the current page has children, use this code {{{ tag “if_children” do |tag| tag.expand if tag.locals.page.has_children? end }}}

Then in your page write

 {{{
 <r:if_children>
 <ul>
   <r:children:each by="title" order="asc">
   <li><r:link /></li>
   </r:children:each>
 </ul>
 </r:if_children>
 }}}
 

This will create a unordered list of links to the children of the page, sorted by ascending title, if any exist.

Random Child Page

{{{ tag “children:random” do |tag| children = tag.locals.children if children.size > 0 index = rand(children.size) tag.locals.page = children[index] tag.expand end end }}}

Then in your page, write

{{{ }}}

Or just

{{{ }}}

Note that this will only select one child page, and needs modification to select more than one.

Refer to the Parent Page

{{{ tag “parent” do |tag| tag.locals.page = tag.locals.page.parent tag.expand if tag.locals.page.has_parent? end

tag “if_parent” do |tag| tag.expand if tag.locals.page.has_parent? end

tag “unless_parent” do |tag| tag.expand unless tag.locals.page.has_parent? end }}}

In your page, write this:

{{{ Go up }}}

This will create a link to the parent page that says “Go up”.
