Site Plan Tags

The CS-Direct site tree is an outline or site plan, located on the Site Plan tab. You use the SITEPLAN tags to extract (from the CS-Direct database) information about a page asset's position in the site tree hierarchy. You can then display that information on your online site in site maps, navigation bars, and so on.

CS-Direct stores information about page assets in several database tables:

• The Page table, which stores information about the page asset as an asset (its name, its object ID, who created it, which template it uses, and so on). Use the ASSET tags to obtain information from that table.

• The AssetRelationTree table, which stores information about the other assets that page assets have relationships with through named or unnamed associations. Use the ASSET.CHILDREN tag to obtain information from that table.

• The AssetPublication table, which specifies which management sites (publications) give you access to the page. Page assets cannot be shared between sites (publications) so there is only one row entry for a page because it can have only one pubid. A pubid is a unique value that identifies a site.

• The SitePlanTree table, which stores information about the page asset's hierarchy in the site structure. Use the SITEPLAN tags to obtain information from that table.

The SitePlanTree table is a standard Content Server object tree with nodes and children. It stores information such as a page asset's node ID, the node ID of its parent, whether it is placed or unplaced, and so on.

If you want to display information about a page asset as an asset, use the ASSET tags to retrieve it. (See Asset Tags .) If you want to display information about a page asset's hierarchy in the site structure, use the SITEPLAN tags to retrieve it. See also ASSET.SITEPARENT .
