Content Twig functions

• ez_render() renders a Content item.
• ez_content_name() renders the name of a Content item.
• ez_render_content_query() renders the results of a non-content related query.
• ez_render_location_query() renders the results of a non-content related Location query.

Content rendering

ez_render()

ez_render() renders the indicated Content item.

It uses the embed view by default, but you can pass a different view as an argument.

You can provide ez_render() with either a Content item or a Location object.

Tip

Depending on whether you pass a Content item or a Location object, the helper automatically selects and uses one of internal Twig functions: ez_render_content() or ez_render_location().

Argument	Type	Description
content or location	eZ\Publish\API\Repository\Values\Content\Content or eZ\Publish\API\Repository\Values\Content\Location	Content item or its Location.
method	string	(optional) Rendering method. One of: direct, inline, esi, ssi.
viewType	string	(optional) View type.

Rendering methods

You can pass one of the following rendering methods to ez_render():

• direct - (default) renders the Content item without using a request
• inline - Symfony inline rendering method, sends a request to the server and inserts the response
• esi - uses the Symfony Edge Side Include mechanism to render the correct tag that is handled by the reverse proxy
• ssi - uses the Symfony Server Side Include mechanism to render the correct tag that is handled by the web server

{{ ez_render(location) }}

{{ ez_render(content, {'viewType': 'line'}) }}

{{ ez_render(content, {'method': 'inline'}) }}

Content information

ez_content_name()

ez_content_name() renders the name of a Content item.

The function uses prioritized languages from SiteAccess settings unless you pass another language as forcedLanguage. If the Content item does not have a translation in the prioritized or passed language, the function returns the name in the main language.

Argument	Type	Description
content	eZ\Publish\API\Repository\Values\Content\Content or eZ\Publish\API\Repository\Values\Content\ContentInfo	Content item or its ContentInfo object.
forcedLanguage	string	(optional) Language to use (for example, fre-FR).

{{ ez_content_name(content) }}

{{ ez_content_name(content, 'pol-PL') }}

Non-content related queries

ez_render_content_query()

ez_render_content_query renders the results of a non-content related query made by using a Query type.
