Short pieces of code to use in Template-files (from the Forum). 

====== Template Code Snippets ======

==returnPageContent()==
<code><?php returnPageContent(); ?></code>
Since 3.1 this Caching/Indexing function can be used to check the page content (example: conditionals). 

==global $content;== 
<code><?php global $content; ?></code>
Since 3.1. Similar to returnPageContent() this can be used to check the page content. 

==output author== 
<code><?php echo $data_index->author; ?></code>
<code><?php getPageField(return_page_slug(),'author'); ?></code>
<code><?php echo stripslashes(html_entity_decode($data_index->author, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8') ); ?></code>
The last example is for output of Unicode characters. 

==conditional by template==
<code><?php if ($template_file == 'name-of-template.php') {
...</code>
If used in a component, first do:
<code>global $template_file;</code>

==conditional by page (slug)==
<code><?php if (return_page_slug() == 'contact') {
...</code>

==template ready for but not requiring a plugin==
If for example you want to make a template ready for the Custom Title plugin but to work normally without it:
<code><title>
		<?php if (function_exists('get_custom_title_tag'))
		{echo(get_custom_title_tag());}
		else { get_page_clean_title(); }  ?>
</title></code>
