render:contentserver

Calls and renders a page or a pagelet from the SiteCatalog table.

Syntax

<render:contentserver
      pagename="nameOfPageEntry"/>
      [<render:argument name="variable1" value="value1"]/>
</render:contentserver>

Parameters

pagename (required)

Input. Name of the page entry from the SiteCatalog to render.

render:argument (optional)

Input. Name/value pairs to pass to the called element. For example, CS-Direct sets several variables through the resargs2 column in a page entry. To pass a value for one of these variables to a render:contentserver tag, you use an argument. For example:

<render:argument name="c" value="Article"/>
<render:argument name="cid" value='<%=ics.GetVar("id")%>'/>

Description

This tag is the CS-Direct equivalent of the Content Server XML CONTENTSERVER (Deprecated) tag with the following differences:

• Its scope is as follows: variables in the calling element are not available in the called element (unless explicitly passed in); changes made to variable values in the called element are not reflected in the calling element; and new variables set in the called element are not available to the calling element.

• rendermode is passed to the page entry.

Use this tag to call the ContentServer module to serve a CS-Direct page or pagelet. The page or pagelet must have a page entry in the SiteCatalog. If the specified pagelet is already cached, this tag loads it. If the specified pagelet is not already cached, this tag caches it (if caching is enabled for it) and loads it.

Variables passed to the ContentServer servlet are subject to the following order of precedence:

1. Variables set in arguments.

2. Variables set in scripts.

3. Variables set in the resargs1 and resargs2 columns of the SiteCatalog.

4. Variables set in the resdetails1 and resdetails2 columns of the ElementCatalog.

If an element is coded with a render:satellitepage tag but CS-Satellite is not present, render:satellitepage passes the call to render:contentserver which then serves the page or pagelet.

errno

The value of errno is unchanged.

Example

This code calls for the page entry of a template named PlainList, passing the ID of the asset that it should display and the ID of the asset's parent page:

<render:contentserver pagename="BurlingtonFinancial/Collection/PlainList">
<render:argument name="cid value='<%=SectionHighlights.getValue("oid")%>'/>
<render:argument name="p" value='<%=ics.GetVar("asset:id")%>'/>
</render:contentserver>
