2. Variable Syntax

Printable Version

The [var] BB-Code allows editors to insert information into wiki articles that is usually only available behind-the-scenes or to make changes to that information. The value of the tag should be the name of the variable that you wish to use. If the variable accepts any arguments, you can add those as well, separating them with the | separator.

Code:

[var]varname|args[/var]

Current Time

When a user visits a page, the following variables display the current time, formatted in various ways. The page is still eligible for caching, so the time may become out of sync.

• CURRENT
  
• CURRENTDAY
  
• CURRENTDAY2
  
• CURRENTDAYNAME
  
• CURRENTDOW
  
• CURRENTHOUR
  
• CURRENTMONTH
  
• CURRENTMONTHABBREV
  
• CURRENTMONTHNAME
  
• CURRENTMONTHNAMEGEN
  
• CURRENTTIME
  
• CURRENTTIMESTAMP
  
• CURRENTWEEK
  
• CURRENTYEAR

Another one is called CURRENTVERSION, which is not time-related. Instead, it shows the current VaultWiki version.

Article-related

DISPLAYTITLE replaces the title of the current article with the provided argument.
TYPE appends the provided argument to the end of the title, as a subtitle.
Neither of these affect the article's URL.
DESCRIPTION replaces the meta description of the current article with the provide argument.
KEYWORDS adds the provided keyword list to the keywords meta tag for the current article.

Counters

NUMBEROFARTICLES returns the number of articles in the same wiki area as the current article.
NUMBEROFPAGES returns the number of articles in all wiki areas.
