SiteBuilder tags
SiteBuilder tags are RXML tags that are used to handle SiteBuilder
specific functions. <sb-output> can be used for getting
information and meta data about files, while <sb-menu> can
use the same information to build dynamic menus for the
<navigation> tag. <sb-if> can check whether the user
has permission to a RXML protection point. <sb-login> forces
the user to authenticate herself.
The SiteBuilder tags are useful for creating web pages with dynamic
user interfaces. The SiteBuilder tags make full use of Access Control
to ensure that only information that the current user has permission
to see is shown.
On an intranet the SiteBuilder tags can be used to create Content
Editor like functionality. It is possible to create edit buttons that
will take the user to the right file in the Content Editor and that
are only available if the user has permission to edit the page.
If is also possible to use the SiteBuilder tags to create web
applications. Through the SiteBuilder tags it is possible to get a
unique user id that can be used to store user specific information in
a database. It is possible to user RXML protection points to control
who gets to use what parts of the application.
The sb-tags are:
- <sb-if>
-
Works like the <if> tag,
but for SiteBuilder related data.
- <sb-login>

Creates an <a
href=...> tag linking to a page that forces the user to log in.
- <sb-menu>
-

file or directory listings.
- <sb-output>

<formoutput> or <sqloutput>, that can be used to get
SiteBuilder specific information.
