Depending on where you use this macro (by default it is used in the full story skin and in the toplevel comment skin) it will loop over the toplevel comments of a story or the replies to a comment.

For displaying the comments this macro will use two different skins: toplevel and reply. You can find them in the skin editor of your weblog in the section "comments".

This macro returns the online-status of a story: in case the story is offline, it will display offline, if the story was published in the weblog it will show online in weblog, and if the story was published in a topic it will display online in plus the name of the topic as link.

Currently there is no way to change the output of this macro.

This macro is deprecated. Use <% story.content part="text" %> instead.

This macro is deprecated. Use <% story.content part="title" %> instead.

This macro can be used to display the topic a story belongs to: either as text, link or image. As a minimum you need the following:

<% story.topic %>

This will display the name of the topic as link to the main page of the topic.

<% story.topic as="text" %>

will display the name of the topic just as plain text. Now using the attribute as="image" is a bit more complex:

<% story.topic as="image" %>

What will happen now? Assuming you have a story that belongs to the topic "topicmaps", Antville will search in the imagepool of your weblog for an image with the name "topic_topicmaps". The prefix "topic_" is added by default, but you can customize this too:

<% story.topic as="image" imgprefix="icon_" %>

Antville will then search for an image named "icon_topicmaps". If it finds one it will display it as link to the main page of the topic.
