page custom metadata

Posted on by AndrewDJ

In other systems that use liquid, you could use front matter to set up variables at a page level that could be retrieved by the layout template. I don't think this is possible in power pages?

I don't think there's anything in the admin UI that will let you add custom metadata to a page, but given the web page table exists in dataverse, can you add your own field to this table, and retrieve it in via liquid code?

Not sure what you are asking.

In Liquid you can:

assign values to liquid objects using assign or capure https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/configure/liquid/variable-tags

Retrieve Table data using fetchxml https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/configure/liquid/template-tags#fetchxml

Retrieve Table data directly if you know the guid of the record https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/configure/liquid/liquid-objects#entities

Retrieve data directly off the currently logged in user's contact record using the 'user' object https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-pages/configure/liquid/liquid-tags

(the ability to retrieve data etc is also in conjunction with the Portal user or annonymous user having appropriate Table Permissions)

Try the following:

Add Custom Fields to the Web Page Table in Dataverse: Yes, you can add custom fields to the Web Page table in Dataverse. Navigate to Dataverse > Tables > Web Page in Power Platform. Add a new column (custom field) to the Web Page table to store the metadata you want to access.

Populate the Custom Field for Specific Pages: In the Portal Management App, find the specific web page records you want to add custom metadata to. Populate the custom field with the relevant metadata or variables you want to use on that page.

Retrieve the Custom Field Value Using Liquid: In the Liquid template, you can retrieve and use the custom field's value by accessing the web page's record.

{% assign customMetadata = webpage.custom_field_name %}
{{ customMetadata }}

Use the Metadata in Layout Templates: If you need to retrieve the metadata from a layout template, use the same Liquid syntax to access the custom field from the current page context.
