node_view_gui #

This page is for designers who draw lists of content: the children of a folder, search results, related articles. Use {node_view_gui} to draw each node in a view mode; the override system then picks the right template per class.

Contents #

1. Use
2. What the template receives
3. Override keys
4. Extra parameters
5. Why not include?

Use #

<ul class="article-list">
{foreach $children as $child}
    <li>{node_view_gui content_node=$child view='line'}</li>
{/foreach}
</ul>

The template used is node/view/line.tpl, or an override for that view and the node's class.

What the template receives #

$node (the node), and $view_parameters with offset 0 by default (from the function's definition in kernel/common/eztemplateautoload.php). Note: not $module_result, and not the variables of the calling template other than those passed as parameters.

Override keys #

node, object, class, class_identifier, class_group, section, section_identifier, state, state_identifier, parent_node, depth, url_alias, remote_id, node_remote_id, parent_class_identifier, parent_node_remote_id, parent_object_remote_id. So a rule can give articles inside a "News" folder a different line view than articles elsewhere (Override by parent).

Extra parameters #

Every other parameter becomes a variable in the view template:

{node_view_gui content_node=$child view='line' image_class='small' show_date=true()}

and in the line template: {default image_class='medium' show_date=false()}.

Why not include? #
