WikiPublisher | Cookbook / Book Metadata

The Book Guide documents use of hidden Page Text Variables to set metadata values on a book’s trail page. It is useful to make these visible, without having to edit the page. This recipe provides (:bookmetadata TrailPage :) markup, which lists all metadata options and their values. An enhanced version of this recipe, which supports form-based metadata editing, is included in the Publish PDF library version 2.2.34.

Download bookmetadata.php Δ, place it in the cookbook/ directory and add the following line to local/config.php after loading the Cookbook:PublishPDF library:

   include_once("$FarmD/cookbook/bookmetadata.php");

To use this markup, write:

(:bookmetadata BookGuide:)
