Applies to:

Grouptree.Core.HTML.HTMLRenderer

Release type:

Functionality Update

Upgrade risk:

Minimal

Reason for change:

Easier template creation. Less need to create .net code to retrieve simple data.

Change detail:

Added functionality to the API to add the ability to reference the current Assets properties by XML name using the hash tag markup in Grouptree Framework templates. The property will be read from Version, Pointer or Element data sources.

Example:

In a template use the hash tag markup ##navigationName## to render the navigation name poperty in the HTML.

Notes:

The XML property name is case sensitive.

Roadmap:

We will be adding functionality to this using the planned Grouptree Framework Simple Macro language. This will enable a progammer to do simple Asset opertaions within hash tags such as retrieve specified Assets in addition to the currently selected asset.
