Syntax of TERM references

Syntax: { $term1 text-to-use-if-not-set-by-other-means }
Whatever is in the brackets will be replaced by TERM1, if set. Otherwise the rest of the text will be used.

This syntax differs from {$categry_name} in that a default value can be assigned.  This default value is needed because sometimes the content will be shown without a SEO incoming link assigned term values.

Default values assignments are per-expanded area, and once assigned they do not get reset if reassigned. Here is an example

  • This is { $term1 the quick fox } defaulting to "the quick fox" : the quick fox
     
  • This is { $Term1 jumped over the log } with another default assignment, 
     but it retains the first : The quick fox
      
  • Did you notice the change in capitialization?
    This is { $TERM1 to get the rabbit } with another default assignment,
    but it retains the first value, even if capitalized differently: The Quick Fox
      
  • Now lets set the term1 with an incoming link. Browse this and notice that the quick fox references are changed
    to "the escaping rabbit"
    ?action=view_article&id=97&subtheme=_none&module=articlemodule&topic=the+escaping+rabbit&ceoi=19

DO NOT USE "{ $TERM1}" (with a space), it must be "{$TERM". Spaces are present above so it does not expand in this description.

For example, if the incoming link is
?section=1&cid852=46_62&ceot=Park+City+Utah+Ventilation+and+Vent+Service+and+Repairs&ceoi=14-40
the page will contain
<title>Park City Utah Ventilation And Vent Service And Repairs | SCS</title>
   Don't fret the mechanics of how this occurs.

The default value needs to be in there only once. For example
  John Doe is the { $TERM2 Fremont} director of operations, providing { $TERM2 } support ...
becomes
  John Doe is the Fremont director of operations, providing Fremont support ...

You can change the capitalization by using { $term}, { $Term1}, or { $TERM1 }

  • $term1 means to use the value exactly as entered
  • $Term1 means to capitalize the first letter of the first word.
  • $TERM1 means to capatalize the first letters of each word

Example:
  John Doe is a { $term3 database operations manager }. { $Term3 } John Doe has the title of "{ $TERM3 }"
becomes
  John Doe is a database operations manager. Database operations manager John Doe has the title of "Database Operations Manager"

 Best practice is to enter the terms in all lower case and use these capitalization tools to set the caps per the context of use.

You may use Term1 through Term9.   Terms 1-3 might be overridden by an SEO link, the others exist for your replacement pleasure.
