Advanced Xinet Portal Tags: _LINK and _SOURCE tags

Note: Many Xinet Portal tags are straight-forward to use. To tap their functionality, you simply place them on a page. There are, however, tags that require some additional explanation. We have included these in separate “Advanced Portal Tags” sections.

The tags in the _LINK and _SOURCE families help create custom links.

_LINK Tags

_LINK tags allow you to create links for common functions; for example, accessing Image Info or downloading an FPO.

Example

Please refer to Xinet Technote 330 for more information about and an example of using a _LINK tag.

Tag definition and use

The following table defines each _LINK tag function. Keep in mind that some of the tags (marked by an asterisk below) will only show up after you engage the Force Portal to generate all available TAGS (performance hit for enabling this option) button in the site’s Configuration page.

_SOURCE Tags

The_SOURCE tags provide the source for a file’s small preview and icon preview. Use them to create custom functionality activated by clicking on a small or icon preview.

Example: Downloading high-resolution file when clicking on the document icon

In Icon View, the built-in tag {IP} normally displays the file’s icon which, when clicked, calls mview for the file. Say, you would like to download the high-resolution version of the file when clicking the icon instead. Here’s how to make that change:

1.	Delete the {IP} tag from the file_table_icon.tmpl.html template

2.	Replace it with this code:

<a href={HIGH_LINK}>{IP_SOURCE}</a>

Tag definition and use

The following table presents the arrays and CGIs with which _SOURCE tags can be used.These tags may only show up after you engage the Force Portal to generate all available TAGS (performance hit for enabling this option) button in the site’s Configuration page.

Tag	Array	CGI
SP_SOURCE IP_SOURCE	files_info	afr (after submit)
		afradmin
	dir_info, file_info, files_info	browse searchresults showbasket
	versions_info	imageinfo
	links_info	imageinfo mlinks preview

Tag definitions:

•	AS_SOURCE The source HTML for the archive image (i.e., the green or red triangle that indicates archive status). It is only available in the files_info and file_info arrays; not in dir_info, versions_info nor links_info.

•	SP_SOURCE Small preview or icon without link.

•	IP_SOURCE Icon preview without link. Can be used in all three browsing styles.
