Page Parameters to Templates

[mesx]

Hi there!
Is there a way to define some Parameters in the page xml file to pass the parameters to the template? For Example every page has its own icon and i want to pass the icon-url to the template wich renders my pages.
Is that possible and how?

thx for help and best regards!

OK, i found the solution:
in the page definition XML add:
<properties>
<yourPropertyName>yourValue</yourPropertyName>
</properties>

it is accessable in the template like ${context.page.properties.yourPropertyName}


regards!

That is correct, you can do this for most of the surf objects i.e. pages, templates and components. Put any name/value pair into the <properties> element within the descriptor file and it will be made available for the appropriate object context. It is commonly used for simple component configuration - as because like all WebScript + Surf artifacts, the descriptor files can be overridden in a custom configuration and those properties overridden with it.

Cheers,
