Form Intro XPHP Variable?

Feature Requests
1

I was trying to use the content entered in the Introductory Text field in the Form editor to generate a meta-description element in the Forms details template. Is it possible to access that data via XPHP? It is not listed on XPHP Variables - LiveWhale Support. The details template just uses <xphp var="form"/> for the whole thing.

I’ve tried <meta name="description" content="%%details_forms_intro|CAST:text%%" /> and other variations (details_intro, forms_intro, intro, etc.) hoping to stumble on something but nothing seems to work.

Hi Jon,

Looking at the core public.widget.php code, I think I see what you mean – it looks like the “intro” variable gets pulled in showForm and appended for Form, but doesn’t necessarily get queried to populate as a separate XPHP variable in the details view. I’ll file this as a feature request for core.

Thanks. I don’t know what would be a better feature request.

  1. Be able to access the Form intro text as an XPHP variable so I could utilize that in the template to generate a meta description.

or

  1. LiveWhale automatically generates meta descriptions for Forms from the intro text.

#2 seems consistent with how other content types work. (Stories create meta description from summary, profiles and galleries from description, etc.)
