Include Standard DNN Tokens #73

Open MaiklT opened 2 years ago

MaiklT commented 2 years ago

Could you please add the standard DNN tokens to be processed in the templates?

(I am in need of a current date token).

Maybe you could use just script for that. Something like

<script> var today = new Date(); var dd = String(today.getDate()).padStart(2, '0'); var mm = String(today.getMonth() + 1).padStart(2, '0'); //January is 0! var yyyy = today.getFullYear(); today = mm + '/' + dd + '/' + yyyy; document.write(today); </script>

That's what I actually did, but I think token replacement would be a nicer idea...

true

As we are moving all our clients over from NA to Open Content I can assure you we are not going to add this. Maybe someone else can do a PR.

Hi @Timo-Breumelhof - is your move to Open Content a manual switchover? Might it be possible to script content in the database from NA to Open Content?

Has anyone looked at that? I'd be interested in contributing if it's a realistic idea - even if it's only partially feasible.

Timo-Breumelhof commented 2 years ago

Yes, we built a tool for it, but it was a lot of work TBH. I demoed it in https://www.southernfrieddnn.com/Blog/TabId/208/PostId/127/sept-21-timo-breumelhof-opencontent-use-cases-jay-mathis-structured-content-in-dnn.aspx

RichardHowells commented 2 years ago

Big ask. Is that tool publicly available?

Timo-Breumelhof commented 2 years ago

No, sorry. We are selling it as a service ATM.

RichardHowells commented 2 years ago

Fair enough. Thank you.
