A 'Variable Qualifier' is a way of specifying exactly where you want data to come from, where there is more than one choice for the data source.
There are three variable qualifiers:
* MainBrochure - used in brochure page links to insert details about the current brochure page.
* MainSection - used in section links to insert details about the current section.
* AssociatedProduct - used in permutation layouts to insert details about the associated product.
Here is the format of a variable qualifier:
<actinic:variable name="VariableQualifier::VariableName"/>
Here are some examples of where to use them.
If you insert the following variable within a brochure page link layout, it will insert the name of the current brochure page into the layout:
<actinic:variable name="MainBrochure::BrochureName" />
For example, if the list of brochure pages was displaying on a page called 'Home', the above variable would be substituted for the text 'Home'.
The following variable will insert the ID of the current section into the section list:
<actinic:variable name="MainSection::SectionID" />
So if the section list was displaying within a section that had an ID of '5', the above variable would be substituted for the number '5'.
Finally, you can enter almost any product variable into a permutation layout with the variable qualifier of 'AssociatedProduct' and the details of the associated product will be shown in the permutation layout. For example:
<actinic:variable name="AssociatedProduct::ProductName" />
... will insert the name of the associated product into the permutation layout.
