Webtags available in Cumulus 1.9.2

These are special markers placed in a file which Cumulus can then process and replace with the actual values. Typically you would use this to build your own website by having an HTML template file with your layout, static text and graphics. In the position on the page you wish Cumulus to insert the relevant data place a webtag in the form:

<#tagname>

Assuming you have asked Cumulus to process the file, it will replace the tag with the current value of the item the tag represents just before the file is uploaded to the internet.

Note: When you put a tag into your HTML, be careful that whatever program you are using to develop your web pages doesn't change the angle brackets to slightly different symbols -- this is a common cause of failure!

Webtags are case sensitive, so please type them as shown here.

New Webtags in Beta builds

New webtags for beta versions of Cumulus are not listed here until the version becomes 'live' however there is a page that details the additional webtags available in the Beta version.

Time/Date 'format' Parameter

From 1.9.1 most time webtags will accept an option 'format' parameter, e.g: <#YearTempHT format=hh:nn>. This allows you to override the default display format for that item, using the format specifiers in the table below. Note that if your format has any spaces in it, you must enclose it in double quotes, thus: <#YearTempHT format="hh nn">. Note also that you can specify date formatting to times and vice versa, but this will not always yield a sensible result.

You should put anything which is not intended to be part of the date and time formatting into single quotation marks to prevent it being interpreted as a date or time formatter. For example, the word "on" contains the character "n", which will be interpreted as a time formatter unless you put it into single quotation marks. Example: <#TtempH format="'at' hh: mm 'on' dd / mm / yyyy">

Specifier Displays
c Displays the date using the format given by the Windows Short Date format, followed by the time using the format given by the Windows Long Time format. The time is not displayed if the date-time value indicates midnight precisely.
d Displays the day as a number without a leading zero (1-31).
dd Displays the day as a number with a leading zero (01-31).
ddd Displays the day as an abbreviation (Sun-Sat) using the strings appropriate to the Windows Locale.
dddd Displays the day as a full name (Sunday-Saturday) using the strings appropriate to the Windows Locale.
ddddd Displays the date using the format given by the Windows Short Date format.
dddddd Displays the date using the format given by the Windows Long Date format.
m Displays the month as a number without a leading zero (1-12). If the m specifier immediately follows an h or hh specifier, the minute rather than the month is displayed.
mm Displays the month as a number with a leading zero (01-12). If the mm specifier immediately follows an h or hh specifier, the minute rather than the month is displayed.
mmm Displays the month as an abbreviation (Jan-Dec) using the strings appropriate to the Windows Locale.
mmmm Displays the month as a full name (January-December) using the strings appropriate to the Windows Locale.
yy Displays the year as a two-digit number (00-99).
yyyy Displays the year as a four-digit number (0000-9999).
h Displays the hour without a leading zero (0-23).
hh Displays the hour with a leading zero (00-23).
n Displays the minute without a leading zero (0-59).
nn Displays the minute with a leading zero (00-59).
s Displays the second without a leading zero (0-59).
ss Displays the second with a leading zero (00-59).
z Displays the millisecond without a leading zero (0-999).
zzz Displays the millisecond with a leading zero (000-999).
t Displays the time using the format given by the Windows Short Time format.
tt\ Displays the time using the format given by the Windows Long Time format.
am/pm Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and displays 'am' for any hour before noon, and 'pm' for any hour after noon. The am/pm specifier can use lower, upper, or mixed case, and the result is displayed accordingly.
a/p Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and displays 'a' for any hour before noon, and 'p' for any hour after noon. The a/p specifier can use lower, upper, or mixed case, and the result is displayed accordingly.
ampm Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and displays the contents of the Windows AM string for any hour before noon, and the contents of the Windows PM string for any hour after noon.
/ Displays the date separator character given by the Windows Date Separator.
: Displays the time separator character given by the Windows Time Separator.
'xx' Characters enclosed in single quotation marks are displayed as such, and do not affect formatting.
