Storing custom data for all page types

✖
Copy to clipboard

If you need to add custom data fields to all pages, regardless of page type, use the NodeCustomData column of the CMS_Tree database table, or the DocumentCustomData column of the CMS_Document table.

The content of the columns is inaccessible from the administration interface. You can access the columns in the API using properties of objects of the TreeNode class:

  • TreeNode.NodeCustomData
  • TreeNode.DocumentCustomData

The properties provide two ways to store values:

Storing a single text value 



treeNode.NodeCustomData.Value = "Single block of text";
Storing a collection of custom values in XML format 



treeNode.NodeCustomData["CustomProperty1"] = "Value 1";
treeNode.NodeCustomData["CustomProperty2"] = "Value 2";
