Variables

Variables in the content plugin are under the {{content}} scope. The following are available:

• {{content.contentpage}} – the current ContentPage object. Available on all contentpage templates. Although it is also available in contentpagesection templates, you should try to make your contentpagesection templates independent of this variable and user {{content.contentpagesection.data.contentpage}} instead.
• {{content.contentpagesection}} – the current ContentPageSection object. Available in all contentpagesection templates.
• {{content.contentmenu}} – the current ContentMenu object. Available in all contentmenu templates.
• {{content.contentpagetypesetting}} – the current settings object. Available in list and page templates.
