Pub Fields

OK this is a bit complicated but there are lots of very sound reasons behind what we have done.  See the Discussion page for  talk about new fields etc.

we have added some "macros" to the wiki

show : Used to display data from the Data pages
link : Used to create links using data from the data pages. Whilst this might sound odd it allows ALL the links to a pub across the whole site to be updated simply by changing data in the data page.

The format of both these macros is the same:

macro|keyword|digraph

where
macro is show or link
keyword is from a special list of keywords (explained below)
digraph is the Pub Night Digraph


To use the macros the entire phrase should be included in double curly braces

<tbody> </tbody>

Keywords and their function

Keyword	Description	Show	Link
header	Displays the header tempate - populated with data from the data page	YES	NO
footer	Displays the footer template - populated with data from the data page	YES	NO
lastvisit	Displays the last visit information	YES	NO
data	Links to the Pub Night Pub Data page	NO	YES
page	Links to the main Pub description page	NO	YES
pubname	Displays the pub name information	YES	NO
image	Embeds the image file given in the Data Page into the current page	YES	NO

In more technical detail - the keyword is the name of another template (the wiki term for macros) that produces the appropriate fields from the data page.  If you want to create a new one you can probably make it up by looking at the others.
