TEXT

The content object “TEXT” can be used to output static text or HTML.

stdWrap properties are available under the property “value” and on the very rootlevel of the object.

Note: Gifbuilder also has a TEXT object - do not mix that one up with the cObject described here; both are different objects.

Description

Text, which you want to output.

Property

Data type

->stdWrap

Description

stdWrap properties are available on the very rootlevel of the object. This is non-standard! You should use these stdWrap properties consistently to those of the other cObjects by accessing them through the property “stdWrap”.

[tsref:(cObject).TEXT]

Examples:

10 = TEXT
10.value = This is a text in uppercase
10.stdWrap.case = upper

The above example uses the stdWrap property “case”. It returns “THIS IS A TEXT IN UPPERCASE”.

10 = TEXT
10.value.field = title
10.stdWrap.wrap = <strong>|</strong>

The above example gets the header of the current page (which is stored in the database field “title”). The header is then wrapped in <strong> tags, before it is returned.

Now let us have a look at an extract from a more complex example:

10 = TEXT
10.value.field = bodytext
10.stdWrap.parseFunc < lib.parseFunc_RTE
10.stdWrap.dataWrap = <div>|</div>

The above example returns the content, which was found in the field “bodytext” of the current record from $cObj->data-array. Here that shall be the current record from the database table tt_content. This is useful inside COA objects.

Here is the same example in its context:

10 = CONTENT
10 {
  table = tt_content
  select {
    andWhere.dataWrap = irre_parentid  = {field:uid}
    begin = 0
  }

  renderObj = COA
  renderObj {
    stdWrap.if.isTrue.data = field:bodytext
    10 = TEXT
    10.value.field = bodytext
    10.stdWrap.parseFunc < lib.parseFunc_RTE
    10.stdWrap.dataWrap = <div>|</div>
   }
}

Here we use the cObject CONTENT to return all content elements (records from the database table “tt_content”), which are on the current page. (These content elements have the corresponding value in “irre_parentid”.) They are rendered using a COA cObject, which only processes them, if there is content in the field “bodytext”.

The resulting records are each rendered using a TEXT object:

The TEXT object returns the content of the field “bodytext” of the according tt_content record. (Note that the property “field” in this context gets content from the table “tt_content” and not - as in the example above - from “pages”. See the description for the data type “getText”/field!) The resulting content is then parsed with parseFunc and finally wrapped in <div> tags before it is returned.
