Dictator Tag Reference

{subpages} or {subnav}
Generates a list of subpages directly below the current page. By default a link to the page is shown which consists of the page name.
- {tag-subpages} or {subpages-tag}
  Displays a list of subpages for the page specified by tag.
- {subpages-modifier} or {tag-subpages-modifier}
  modifier should be replaced with any one or more of the following modifiers. Note if using multiple modifiers, the order they are specified in is significant—they will appear in the order you type them.
  - name
    Name is assumed, but should be specified when you want to change the order of items.
  - excerpt
    Specify page excerpt to appear in the subpage listing.
  - date Specify datestamp to appear in subpage listing.
  - subtitle Specify subtitle field to appear in subpage listing.
  - photo
    Specify that each page’s first photo should appear with the subpage listing.
  - thumb
    Specify that a thumbnail of each page’s first photo should appear with the subpage listing.
  - headline
    Specify that the headline (if available) should appear with the subpage listing.
  - author
    Specify that the author (if available) should appear with the subpage listing.
  - topX or limitX
    Specify that you would like to limit the number of appear. Replace “X” with a number. For example, {subpages-top5} would return only the first 5 pages.
  - parent
    This tell’s Dictator to include a link to the parent page as the first item in the list of subpages.
  - subpages
    Subpages tags can be stacked to display a hierarchy of subpages. i.e. {subpages-subpages-subpages}
  - idtag
    For web developers. Specify that each page list item should use the page’s tag (if available) as the value for the ‘id’ property so that it can be manipulated via CSS.
  - classtag
    For web developers. Specify that each page list item should use the page’s tag (if available) as the value for the ‘class’ property so that it can be manipulated via CSS.
  - repeat
    Usually Dictator will only display a link to a given page once on your page. So multiple calls to subpages may not show what you expect. If you specify the repeat modifier, then Dictator will allow these pages to be repeated in the listing.
  - linkall
    By default, Dictator only links the page’s name field. Additional specified fields, like subtitle and datestamp are not linked. If you specify linkall then Dictator will link all fields in each page’s list item.
  - showprivate
    Include links to pages that are set as private, even if the user is not logged in. By default, Dictator does not show links to private pages unless the user is logged in, so specifying this modifier will ensure that such links appear in the subpages listing.
  - noname
    TBA
  - nofamily
    TBA
  - attach
    Dictator will include a list of the page’s file attachments with the subpage listing when this modifier is specified.
  - datesort
    Force subpages to sort by date (where available). Same as specifying date sort in the parent page’s settings.
  - namesort
    Force subpages to sort by name. Same as specifying name sort in the parent page’s settings.
  - m or match
    Show only pages with fields that match the specified regular expression.
    Usage: match/field/regex/modifiers
    You may specify multiple fields by separating each by a dash, i.e. name-subtitle-sidebar. The trailing slash and modifiers portion of the tag is optional. Refer to Perl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) for details on how to use these regular expressions and modifiers.
{mychannel}
Similar to the subpages tag, displays a list of all pages contained within the channel specified by your tag mychannel. Note that all modifiers specific to the subpages tag (above) also apply to channel tags.
{photos}

{myphoto}
Displays the photo(s) identified by the tag myphoto, where you have specified the tag with your photo(s).
{thumbs} or {thumbnails}

{photoX}

{photos-modifier} or {myphoto-modifier} or any of the above
You may specify any one or more of the following modifiers with any variation of the {photos} tag. The order is not significant.
