A page containing a variable content zone will be able to change its content according to the tags of the screens who's displaying this page.

For example, a welcome page containing a text zone with variable content could display :

• « Welcome to our New York store » if the screen have the tag [ New York ]
• « Welcome to our Tokyo store » if the screen have the tag [ Tokyo ]
• « Welcome » on non-tagged or tagged screens in another city for where no content has been defined.

In this example, a “Sites” tag family was used as a reference. It is therefore depending on the tag of this family applied on a screen that the content will change.

To use the above example, a user with limited rights who is himself tagged Tokyo will have the right to edit the content of the variable content zone (as long as it has been defined as “editable by the user” by the administrator).

• Change the price of a product, depending on the store or price category to which that store belongs.
• Display / not display an image/text on a page depending on what a store offers or does not offer a specific service.
• Make a multilingual page displaying texts in the language of the screen on which it is displayed.

Let's see how to set up the example below, we have a fictional customer using three families of tags to classify its screens, media, content and users.

Let's start by designing a welcome page. The first steps in creating this page do not change from the usual creation of a page. In this example, we have chosen a background colorand created a text area to host the variable welcome message.

In the “General zone properties” section of the text zone, let's change the “Content source” parameter to “Variable content (based on tags)”.

It is then necessary to specify the tag family according to which the content of this field will be variable.

In our example, we would like to change the welcome message depending on the store. It is therefore the “Localisation” tag family that will be used as a reference to change the welcome message on the welcome page. We therefore specify “Localisation” in the drop-down list.

Within the “zone content” section, it is now possible to choose from a drop-down list for which tag (for which site) you wish to introduce content

You can define the different desired values in turn. We have just done “New York”, we can now customize the message for “Tokyo”.

The default value is the value that will be displayed in the text box on a screen that is not tagged or that is tagged from a site for which you have not defined any content.

In our example, we used a text type area, but all other zone types also support variable content (image, video, etc.).

It is quite possible to place several zones with variable content on the same page even if these zones use the same reference tag family or not.

Now that each of our sites is able to get different content in the welcome text box, let's see how to give a local user a hand in customizing their message within the variable content area we've created.

Dans notre exemple, la page de bienvenue ne compte qu’une seule zone de texte. Cette zone est d’ores et déjà modifiable par les utilisateurs dans la mesure où c’est l’option par défaut. Si notre page contenait d’autres zones dont certaines ne devaient pas pouvoir être modifiables par les utilisateurs, il suffit de décocher la case « Editable par les utilisateurs » dans le volet « Propriétés Générales de la zone ».

Nous allons créer un « utilisateur à droit limités » restreint au site « Paris » afin que celui-ci puisse personnaliser le message de bienvenue pour son site.

• Rubrique « Utilisateurs »
• Bouton « + »
• Remplir le formulaire, en spécifiant qu’il s’agit d’un « utilisateur aux droits limités » (Limited User)

• Taguer le site « Paris » sur l’utilisateur

L’utilisateur est en mesure de modifier le texte de la zone variable et ce uniquement pour le site « Paris » (seule valeur disponible dans la liste déroulante).
