ཞིབ་བརྗོད།

How do I find all of these “ids”?

The IDs can be found in the RateBeer.com’s web site URLs. More detailed information is included in the plugin’s Settings page on the Help tab.

How do I customize the output/display?

Each tag, such as [beerratings-beer], has three settings on the Format/Layouts tab of the plugin settings page. These three settings are:

  1. List Header – this HTML is prepended to the item display
  2. List Item – this HTML is used for each item display
  3. List Footer – this HTML is appended to the item display

This means that when the tag outputs HTML, the List Header will be output first. For example, you include HTML specific tags such as “<table><tr><th>Beer Name</th><th>Brewer Name</th><th>ABV</th></tr>”.

Next, the List Item will be used to loop through the returned records using the specific output fields and output conditions available for that tag. For example, “<tr><td>#_BEERNAME</td><td>#_BREWERNAME</td><td>{has_abv}#_ALCOHOL%{/has_abv}</td></tr>”. The example format will be output for each returned record. The condition state of {has_abv} means that the inner content will only be rendered if the beer has a non-empty/non-null value for the ABV value (#_ALCOHOL).

Finally, the List Footer will be output last. This is where you would close any <table> or <div> tags. Using the above examples, the footer could be as sample as “</table>”.
