Store and Use variables

In Z-CMS, it is possible to store and retrieve attribute content values using as variables the two Z-CMS tags zcms:store and zcms:use.

Such tags can be inserted inside the page as follows:

<zcms:store var="parentmenu" attribute="menu_id"/>
<zcms:use name="parentmenu"/>

Here, the value of the attribute "menu_id" is stored using the variable "parentmenu" and later it is retrieved using the variable name.

Example: using the "store" and "use" tags

The following example shows how to use the zcms:store and zcms:use tags.

<zcms:store var="start" value="1"/>
<zcms:store var="title2" value="TITLE1"/>
<zcms:is operation="NOT_EMPTY" value="$memory[start]">
   <h1>Title</h1>
   <h2><zcms:use name="title2"/></h2>
   <zcms:is operation="EQUALS" var="start" value="1" >
      <zcms:store var="title2" value="TITLE2"/>
      <a href="">THIS IS A LINK</a>
      <zcms:else>
         THIS IS A LINK TOO
      </zcms:else>
   </zcms:is>
   TEST  
</zcms:is>
<h2><zcms:use name="title2"/></h2>
