Parameters

NameTypeDescriptionRequired
content_object object The target content object. Yes.

other parameters any Parameter(s) that will be passed to the included template. No.

Description

This function shows the view interface for a content object. The target object must be specified (as an "ezcontentobject" object) using the "content_object" parameter. The "view" parameter is optional, it can be used to specify a desired view (for example "text", "text_linked", "embed", etc.). The function will attempt to use the following template from either the current design or one of the fallback designs: "templates/content/view/[name_of_view_mode].tpl". All other parameters (of any type) will be passed on and thus become available as template variables in the included template.

    Can someone please give some guidance regarding when/why to use this and when to use node_view_gui <http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/techn...ons/visualization/node_view_gui>?

    Some documentation regarding the intended use of the various 'views' available in the 'Standard' templates would be helpful. Especially when deciding how/whether to override a template for a particular purpose. [I have not been able to find comprehensive documentation in this regard.]
