Usage

Looking up a specific category or article is helpful if you wish to loop through a specific category and it's children (great for tree navigation, etc.) and display it on your knowledge base.

Examples of uses: 

• Tree navigation - Look up a category, and list all it's children
• Displaying a specific style for a category or article ID.
• Displaying articles such as 'latest features' or 'notices' on the index page or main layout as a form of announcements. 

Looking up a specific Article/Question.

In your customization page, on any liquid template (main layout, index, category, question, thanks or contact page), you can write the following: 

{% find_question questionID %} 
<h1> the name of the referenced question is {{ question_questionID.name }} </h1>

 As you can see, you do NOT need to close this as you would close an IF statement or a FOR loop. You just run it as is. You'd replace "questionID" with the ID of the question -- see example below. 

Looking up a specific Article/Question.

In your customization page, on any liquid template (main layout, index, category, question, thanks or contact page), you can write the following: 

{% find_questions 123, 456 %}
     {% for question in found_questions %}
       {{ question.id }}
     {% endfor %}

 As you can see, you do NOT need to close this as you would close an IF statement or a FOR loop. You just run it as is. You'd replace "questionID" with the ID of the question -- see example below. 

Example: Rendering an announcement article

On your Main Layout or Index page, to display the answer of the article/question with the id '1234': 

<h1>Latest Feature Releases: </h1>
{% find_question 1234 %}
<p class='latest-releases'> {{ question_1234.answers.first.body }} </p>
 

Looking up a specific Category/Topic.

In your customization page, on any liquid template (main layout, index, category, question, thanks or contact page), you can write the following: 

{% find_category categoryID %} 
<h1> the name of the referenced category is {{ category_categoryID.name }} </h1>

Syntax is identical as for questions/articles. As you can see, you do NOT need to close this as you would close an IF statement or a FOR loop. You just run it as is. You'd replace "categoryID" with the ID of the category -- see example below. 

Looking up categories by ID

In your customization page, on any liquid template (main layout, index, category, question, thanks or contact page), you can write the following: 

{% find_categories 123, 456 %}
    {% for category in found_categories %}
      {{ category.id }}
    {% endfor %}
