No.

The default language for content objects (see ContentObjectLocale) if it is set or the most prioritized language (i.e. the first element of the "SiteLanguageList" array).

content_action_list

array

No.

An array of hashes revealing information about the content actions that can be performed on the object. The keys "name" and "action" contain the actual name (for example "Add to basket" - which should be value of the HTML input tag) and the action itself (for example "ActionAddToBasket" - which should be the name of the HTML input tag). The array is generated by a function that examines the object's attributes. If a datatype used to represent an attribute provides support for content actions or if the attribute is an information collector, the supported actions will be added to the "content_action_list" array. This array can be used to automatically generate action buttons (standard HTML buttons) for content objects that either make use of special datatypes or have attributes that are marked as information collectors.

match_ingroup_id_list

array

No.

The ID numbers of the class groups that the class (which the object is an instance of) belongs to. This variable is connected with a feature that makes it possible to create template overrides based on class groups.

By default the "match_ingroup_id_list" always returns a boolean FALSE value because the class group override feature is turned off. It can be turned on by setting the "EnableClassGroupOverride" directive in the [ContentOverrideSettings] block of a configuration override for "content.ini" to "true".

Returns whether the current object has at least one visible node.
The setting site.ini/[SiteAccessSettings]/ShowHiddenNodes is taken into account. For instance, an hidden (or hidden by superior) node is considered visible if ShowHiddenNodes is true.
