You can install a Studio library like the StudioKit on an existing or a brand new site. This gives you all the tools you need to build out a great site with a slick client experience.

Liquid

How to use Liquid to get the most from Siteglide

Introduction to Liquid

The context object is a rich source of data about the environment where you are writing Liquid, whether that is a Page, Email etc. This article goes into detail about the different properties and how you can use them.

Reference - Exploring the Context Object

Learn to recognise different types of Liquid syntax

Liquid Tutorial 1 - Recognising the syntax of tags, outputs and filters

Liquid Tutorial 2 - Liquid variables and types

The parse_json tag can be used to create objects from a JSON string. These allow you to represent complex entities with properties, instead of using a bunch of separate variables. Dot notation is a useful way to access those properties later. 

Liquid Tutorial 3 - Creating Liquid objects and accessing their properties

How to use Liquid For Loops and Indexing to handle arrays. Also, how to use a key to access key maps, using categories as an example.

Liquid Tutorial 4- Creating and accessing arrays, including looping

So far we have created variables to store data manually and accessed that data, but often we want to access data that has been provided by external sources. A good place to start is looking at information about the URL and the current Page.

Liquid Tutorial 5 - Accessing data from the page and URL

Use if statements and case statements to control what happens based on context

Liquid Tutorial 6 - Logic

Using Categories from the context object as an example, we look at a special kind of object (maps) and how to access their properties.

Liquid Tutorial 7 - Looping over an object's properties

With the powerful include and render tag, you can use Liquid to pull in other Liquid files into the file you're working in. This allows you to access oven-ready Siteglide functionality and efficiently re-use your own content across your site.

Liquid Tutorial 8 - Joining Liquid files together with include/render

Liquid Tutorial 9 - Using WebApp and Module collections - Coming Soon

Improve the accuracy of your if statements by using the blank keyword to catch a range of falsy states.

Liquid Tutorial 10 - Truthiness in Logic: using Liquid to determine if a field is empty or blank

We have often been asked if we can add a feature where customers can directly add Liquid code to rich text fields, and have it evaluated and run on the Page. For major security reasons, this is not possible; it would make it so easy for malicious users to POST form data to your site and have a high level of access to critical information. However, you can allow certain Liquid-based functionality in a safe and controlled manner.

Updating Modules

Bring some of the user-experience of a JavaScript framework into your server-powered Siteglide pages. With the live-updates API, applications can respond to user-input and refresh their content efficiently to display filtered, sorted or searched versions of lists. 

This is an advanced feature, but made to be highly customisable and simple to maintain.

The JS API is designed specifically for Siteglide, allowing the developer to set secure rules about what kind of content can be requested; this prevents malicious users from using the API to "explore" your data. 

Many Studio Dynamic Sections will use this out of the box to achieve interactive functionality in a consistent, documented way.

Live Updates JavaScript API

This article is your starting point for learning about the problems the Live Updates API was designed to solve, helping you to decide whether it could help you in your website project.

Introducing the Live Updates API

All versions of the Live Updates JavaScript will continue to be present and usable on the module, so existing sections can continue to use older ones. When creating or installing new sections, we recommend the newest version.

Live Updates Changelog

A step-by-step guide to taking a module/webapp dynamic section layout and adding Live Updates markup to enable advanced interactivity for the end-user.

Adding Live Updates interactivity to a Module or WebApp Dynamic Section Layout

Live Updates Markup Example

Live Updates allows the end-user to filter the items from the database, but what if there is some content you don't want all users to see? For example, maybe you only want the user to access items which are assigned with a datasource to the same company webapp as them? This article shows how you can lock down some filters with liquid logic,

Steps to Use Live Updates Methods

Live Updates Troubleshooting

Steps to Initialise Live Updates with JS

If you want the convenience of the Live Updates JavaScript API to handle event listeners, but wish to customise the kind of content which is re-rendered, you can use a combination of Content Section includes and GraphQL to do this.

Library Sections

Libraries were previously called themes. Now they are renamed, themes have been re-imagined to something much more flexible, allowing you to change theme while keeping the same sections - so you can redesign a site quicker than ever. 

Library Themes

In the 2.0.0 update, themes were renamed to libraries, and the new libraries were given powerful new features. It's actually quite easy to upgrade, but you'll need Siteglide CLI.

Migrating from <2.0.0 themes to libraries

The SiteBuilder module is being replaced by the Studio module. SiteBuilder features are either no longer needed, or have already been moved to the Studio module. We're updating the docs to reflect features which have been adopted by Studio.
