• [pagination] - will make the pages links and buttons displayed in the place where this markup is added, for example if you want it at the top of the widget instead of the bottom. please note that using this without [no_pagination] will make two copies of the page links, so if you just want the pagination links to be displayed in specific place you have to first add [no_pagination] anywhere, and then add [pagination] in the place where you want it to get displayed

POST and GET

You can also retrieve a value send by HTTP POST or GET using:

• [GET[name]]
• [POST[name]]

<input name='search' value='[GET[search]]' type='text'>

Aiki have two configuration variables to allow or not, GET and POST sustitution:

• show_gets (default true)
• show_post (default true)

Advanced

To get aiki-level configuration variables, it takes a bit more work.

You have to create a widget that selects the config data:

select config_data from aiki_config

Then inside the widget: ((config_data[plupload_max_file_size])) ((config_data[allowed_extensions]))

This array feature is documented on Aikimarkup#Database_markup

((upload_extra[featuring])) display the field "featuring" from the serialized array stored in db field "upload_extra" if exists
