#renderer.dspBody(request.contentBean.getbody(),request.contentBean.gettitle(),1)#

Show Display Region Content Conditionally if it exists

This can be used to create "dynamic" templates that change layout based on whether or not content exists in a display region.

<cfset str=renderer.dspObjects(1) />
<cfif len(str)>#str#</cfif>

FUNCTIONS/FEATURES

Search Form

<form action="/go/#request.siteid#/search/" id="searchForm">
<input type="text" value="Enter Search Terms" onclick="this.value='';" onblur="if(this.value==''){this.value='http://';}" class="text" name="keywords"/>
<input type="submit" value="Search" class="submit" />
<input type="hidden" name="display" value="search"/>
<input type="hidden" name="newSearch" value="true"/>
<input type="hidden" name="noCache" value="1"/>
</form>

Get "Credits" text input value if it exists (Found in "meta" tab in edit page)

<cfif request.contentBean.getCredits() neq "">#request.contentbean.getCredits()#</cfif>

"Read More" Link

#addlink(rsSection.type,rsSection.filename,'View Complete Description',rsSection.target,rsSection.targetParams,rsSection.contentid,request.siteid)#

Use a server-side include within Mura

[mura ]dspInclude('templates/inc/theFile.cfm')[/mura ]

Insert a specific component into a template

#renderer.dspObject('component','CONTENTID',request.siteid)#

Insert a specific component into a component or page

[mura ]dspObject('component','CONTENTID',request.siteid)[/mura ]

These can be used to call any object from Mura, i.e. a Component, a Local Index, a Form, etc. If you are placing this inside a display object or something "inside" the renderer, lose the "renderer." at the beginning

Insert a Local Index or Remote Feed into a component or page

[mura ]dspObject('feed','FEEDID',request.siteid)[/mura ]

Add user to a specific Mailing List from a non-mailing list form

<input type="hidden" name="mlid" value="[MLID]"><input type="hidden" name="doaction" value="subscribe">

Alternate Content (Meta RSS)

(Replace bracketed items with actual values to define the parameters for the global feed. These can all be found in the form for Local Content Indexes. Use with caution, this essentially documents ALL published content)

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Global RSS Feed for #renderer.getSite().getSite()#" href="http://#cgi.script_name#/tasks/feed/?siteid=#request.siteid#&contentid=[CONTENT ID]&categoryid=[CATEGORY ID]&maxitems=20" />
