Constants

You can add "constants" to use in your QS. Constants are text/html-parts that can be used anywhere in your website, and you can manage them in one location. A typical example of a constant is the email address of the webmaster, or the full address of your company.

You can define a constant via the "New item"-submenu. In case you want to include the same Privacy Statement on different pages, you can create a constant named PRIVACY_STATEMENT, write it down, and include it anywhere in your QuickerSite. You can include that privacy statement in every form, every catalogitem, every page, every template, etc.

Constants will typically be used for a contact-email-adress, a common name, a link, a version number of a software, a button, a subtitle for your site, an extra metatag, an iframe, a privacy/copyright statement, a disclaimer, extra style (<style>...</style), additional JavaScript, ... etc.

If you want to include the link to the contact-form of your QuickerSite in different areas of your website, you can make this url (something like default.asp?iId=XXXXX) a constant named [CONTACTUS-URL] and include it anywhere you need it!

You can however let a constant behave as a real feature too: if you want to include a copyright statement in each and every picture in your picture-catalogue, you can easily attach that statement by having its constant available as the only value in a custom defined drop down in your catalogue!

From QS v172 onwards, you can make constants behave as ASP/VBScript. That is how you can include any custom functionality or feature anywhere in your site. More about this...
