The Content Block Variable

Managing Content

The Content Block Variable

A question mark (?) separates the template URL from the content block variable. The content block variable indicates which document or content blocks the server places in the template before displaying the page. Below is a description of the URL format.

Description

ID=n

http://www.yourEktronwebsite.com /index.aspx?ID=1

ID selects a single document to display. This variable would be used for a template of the single document template type. The value corresponds to the content block's id value.

The above variable's name is based on the templates included in the Ektron CMS400.NET's sample site. If your Web master changed the variable names in your site's template, use the name of the corresponding variable in each template rather than the one above.
