Creating an In Context tag | HCL Digital Experience

The InContext tag renders a tag body within a specified rendering context. The new rendering context can be specified as a predefined context by using a UUID, or by path.

About this task

The format of an InContext tag:

[InContext context=" "]

[/InContext]

To create an InContext tag:

Procedure

  1. Click Insert a Tag from a presentation template, component, or element design field. The Tag Helper dialog opens.
  2. Select In Context as the tag type.
  3. Select a context type:
    Autofill
    Use this option when the element that is referenced is determined by the search parameters of a menu, navigator, or taxonomy component. If the tag is not used within a menu, navigator, or taxonomy component, the context reverts to the current item.
    Current
    If selected, the context is set by the current item.
    Portal Context

    If selected, the context is set by the context of the current page. This option is only valid for content that is delivered by using a web content viewer portlet.

    See the knowledge center topic that is called Web content associations for further information.

    Portal Mapping

    If selected, the context is set by the web content association of the current page. This option is only valid for content that is delivered by using a web content viewer portlet.

    See the knowledge center topic that is called Web content associations for further information.

    Portlet Context
    If selected, the context is set by context of the current web content viewer portlet. This option is only valid for content that is delivered by using a web content viewer portlet.
    Selected
    If selected, the context is set by the selected item. You select an item by clicking Select. The selected item is added to the tag as the uuid=" " parameter. If the UUID or path parameter is specified, the context is always "selected", so you do not have to specify context="Selected".
  4. Click OK to add the tag to your navigator design.

Usage examples

Extra text, HTML, or tags must be added between the [InContext] and [/InContext] tags. The text and tags added here is what is rendered in the specified context.

For example, setting a context with a specified UUID to render MyElement in the context of the site area or content that is linked to by MyLinkElement:
[InContext uuid="[Element context='current' type='content' key='MyLinkElement' format='id']"]
[Element context="current" type="auto" key="MyElement"]
[/InContext]
You can render the tag body in a predefined context. This context can be portalContext, portletContext, portalMapping, or autofill:
[InContext context="portalContext"]
[Element context="current" type="auto" key="MyElement"]
[/InContext]
The new context can be specified by using the name path. For example, to render MyElement in the context of /Web Content/My Site Area/My Content: 
[InContext path="/Web Content/My Site Area/My Content"]
[Element context="current" type="content" key="MyElement"]
[/InContext]
The new context can be specified relative to the name path of the current context:
[InContext path="./My Content"]
[Element context="current" type="content" key="MyElement"]
[/InContext]
