Global variables¶
These variables are always available for rendering in templates.
zotonic_version¶
The version of Zotonic, for example "1.0-dev".
zotonic_dispatch¶
An atom with the name of the dispatch rule that was applied to render the current page.
zotonic_dispatch_path¶
A list containing the request path used as initial input for the dispatcher.
The path is split on / and after an optional rewrite. This means that the
list doesn’t contain the language prefix. For example, the path
/en/foo/bar?a=b will give the list ["foo", "bar"].
zotonic_dispatch_path_rewrite¶
Same as zotonic_dispatch_path, but set to the path after an optional internal
request rewrite inside the dispatcher. For example if a resource has its
page_path set to /foo and the requested path is /en/foo then the
zotonic_dispatch_path will be set to ["foo"] and the
zotonic_dispatch_path_rewrite could be set to something like
["page", "1234", "foo-slug"].
z_language¶
The currently selected language. This an atom, for example: en.
q¶
A dictionary containing the current request’s query variables. For GET requests, these are the arguments passed from the query string (e.g. ?foo=bar); for POST requests, these are the values posted in the POST form. For more access to the raw request data, look at the m_req model.
now¶
The local date and time in Erlang tuple notation, for instance {{2014,4,17},{13,50,2}}.
