Properties:

<Page>

This tag indicates the start of a new page

<Id>

The page id is saved as a text string, not a number even if an integer is provided. It must be unique among all other pages, images and user data ids and must be the first property defined. You can change your page id at any time without affecting operation. You will be alerted during the build process if the old page id is still being referenced by any existing URL References or Data References.

The filename must be SEO compatible (lowercase, alphnumeric, no spaces). If left empty, BlüeBox will create it automatically from the <Title> property, but then your URL will change if the page title changes. It is a good practice to set the value manually to ensure this never happens.

<Title>

The page's title. It can be changed at anytime.

pageBlogpostT

An individual page template id to be used for page formatting. You can define new templates for specific page formats, however BlüeBox comes with three of the most common formats predefined: pageBlogpostT, pageStaticT and pageBlankT.

An optional image id as defined by the <Media> option. If left blank, a random featured image will be used. It will serve as the page image used in page banners, page indexes, RSS feeds and in the Related Pages area located at the bottom of each page.

The page's author

<PDate>

Publication date (i.e. 1 Jan 2001, January 1, 2001, 1/31/2001, etc.). BlüeBox recognizes most unambiguous date formats, and will convert it to a standard format when displaying.

<PTime>

Publication time in hours:minutes:seconds(i.e. 12:00:00 is noon)

<MDate>

Modification date

<MTime>

Modification time

The page's category. Only one category can be defined. By default the category is listed above the page title on index pages.

You can specify hashtags as well as embed them in the page content. Dashes inside hashtags are displayed as spaces. Hashtags are linked to index pages listing only posts containing those hashtags.

A comma-delimited list of keywords. These are used to provide keywords for page metadata in the header.

<Draft>

false

When enabled, the page will be excluded from the website.

false

When enabled and when using the database option, user authentication will be required to access the page. The database router includes the sign-in form and manages file access.

false

When enabled, the page will be excluded from the RSS feed.

false

When enabled, only the page's title, image, author, date, and abstract will be included in the RSS feed, the page's content will be excluded. When pages require special code or scripts to display correctly, their content should be excluded from the feed. You can validate your feed content at anytime using the W3C Feed Validation Service by entering your website URL.

false

When enabled, the page will be excluded from all blog index pages. This allows for the creation of stand alone pages.

false

When enabled, the page will be excluded from all related pages areas.

false

When enabled, the page banner will not be displayed.

false

When enabled, the Related Pages area will not be displayed.

false

When enabled, the page footer will not be displayed.

If the page URL has changed or the page content has been deleted, you can redirect all requests to another page by adding the URL here. Deleted posts will result in "Page not found" errors, which may confuse (or piss off) Google and other search engines.

Enter text to serve as the abstract. If left blank, an abstract will be created automatically from the page content staring at the beginning. HTML will be stripped from the abstract.

This can be used to load page specific stylsheets.

This can be used to load page specific scripts.

The page's content. Go wild.

Additional Properties:

BlüeBox allows you to define any number of additional properties for pages. These properties can be accessed from pages and in page templates using Data References.

<Data>

This tag indicates the start of a new user-defined property

<Name>

The user-defined property name

<Value>

The user-defined property value

Technical Details

BlüeBox defines an internal page placeholder to access the <Id> of the current page.

%PageId%

The current page's id.

Properties of the current page can also be accessed by pages and templates using Data References (data references are always bound at build time) All of the above listed properties can be accessed directly using the current page placeholder and the property name. BlüeBox defines a shortcut to make this easier, i.e. <page:property>Title</page:property>. Boolean values are retrieved as "true" or "false". User-defined properties can also be accessed by using the value of the <Name> property. In addition, several read-only properties are also available. The following is a complete list of accessible properties.
