Comparing version 6 and version 5

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]].

h2. Examples

h3. 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

 {{{
 

 {{{
 
 

   
   

   
 
 
 }}}
 

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

h3. 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.

h3. 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".
