Name

field — quickly retrieve field from Products database

ATTRIBUTES

Attribute Pos. Req. Default Description
name | column | col | field Yes Yes
code | row Yes Yes
interpolate     0 interpolate output?
hide     0 Hide the tag return value?

DESCRIPTION

The tag conveniently retrieves the field from the databases listed under ProductFiles. It will return the first entry found in the series of product databases, so if you are only looking for a specific table, better use the generic [data] tag.

BEHAVIOR

This tag does not appear to be affected by, or affect, the rest of Interchange.

EXAMPLES

No examples are available at this time. We do consider this a problem and will try to supply some.

NOTES

If you only have one ProductFiles database — products, then [field column key] is, of course, the same as [data products column key].

AVAILABILITY

field is available in Interchange versions:

4.6.0-5.9.0 (git-head)
