Setting Dynamic Global Variables
To set a dynamic global variable:
- Navigate to Administration > System Options > Dynamic Site Server > Global Variables.
- Click the Add new global variable button (+).
- Select Add global variable with dynamic XPath query from the drop-down list.
- Enter the Variable Name. The name you provide will be chosen by users to insert the variable into their content. The name shouldn't include any spaces or special characters.
- In the Page Content XPath Query field, type the XPath query that locates the variable. As with static global variables, you can configure publishing target-specific values if desired.
- Click the Add new publishing target-specific value button (+). These could be used for different websites being produced from the same content, or to test new values for a staging versus live site publish.
- Select a publishing target from the drop-down list.
- If you set a value for the publishing target in the Page Content XPath Query field, this will be the default value.
- When you're finished creating the dynamic global variable, click Save.
Note: You can retrieve Link Name from Link element, and Title from Linkset element, but you need to enter these variable values, manually, rather than from the CMS UI.
