Template

This template value is used in several parts of CS to display items:

  • Various item listing by country, currency, donator etc;
  • In main bar when you select the item;
  • In Search tool: you can specify exactly "5 Grosh, Poland (1967)" and you will get an exact match as a result.

For coins, the default value is:
#[index] [nominal] [currency], [country] ([year])

For custom collectibles, you can use this variable to expand information of the collectible. Just use your XML-tag name of your collectible fields as template fields, braced with square braces. Currently, all template names should be in lower case.

For example, if you have a field "City", CollectionStudio will automatically create for this field following properties:

  • Title: "City" - will be displayed in the "Edit" window;
  • XML-tag: "City" - will be used in export/import etc;
  • SQL-field: "CS_City" - will be used only in SQL export.

You can change them as you wish:

  • Title: "Nearest City";
  • XML-tag: "City_Tag";
  • SQL-field: "CS_CITY_NAME".

According that the default "template" for custom collectible is "#[index] [title]", you can add information about city using its xml-tag in the "template" field:
#[index] [title], [city_tag]
