Introduction
There are various places in an Exprodo database system where you want to be able to display a biskit as a text string.
In the
Bakery, each
BiskitDef can be told which property to use for its name.
Alternatively, for more complicated requirements, you can use a
format specifier.
Its syntax is defined by the diagrams on this page.
Calpendo also lets you provide a format specifier to control the content of the body of a booking on the calendar,
the title bar of a booking on the calendar, and the content of a booking on the month view.
Examples
- %givenName%
- %status%
- %description?ss:%
- %description?sDescription is set to s:Description is null%
- %status%%description?s s:%
text-without-percent
This is any text that does not include the percent character (%).
marker
This is any single character apart from the percent character (%) and colon (:). Choose one that won't appear in
before-value-text or
after-value-text.
Note that marker appears twice. You must use the same character each time.
before-value-text
This is any text that doesn't include percent character (%), colon (:) or the character defined as the
marker. This text will appear in the output immediately before the property value, as long as the property value is not
null.
after-value-text
This is any text that doesn't include percent character (%), colon (:) or the character defined as the
marker. This text will appear in the output immediately after the property value, as long as the property value is not
null.
null-value-string
This is any text that doesn't include percent character (%). It will appear whenever the property value is
null.
The
?date is optional and has no impact on the output for a date-valued property.
If you include the
date specifier, then the output will show the date portion only.
If you include the
time specifier, then the output will show the time portion only.
