Filtering Media Pages

A media holder request may have optional date, category and tag filters, which are extendable by developers.

The following on the media holder template allows a user to select a date, and then see media pages for and prior to that date:

$DateFilterForm

It is also possible to represent the date in a year/month/day/media URL format.

URL-formatting

Smart Templating

Custom media type templates may be defined for your media holder/page:

MediaHolder_Blog.ss or MediaPage_Blog.ss

Retrieve a specific media page attribute in templates:

$Attribute('Author')

To see examples, look at the default templates:

MediaHolder.ss and MediaPage.ss
