Purpose:

You can define different fields called "roar specific post data" which will be displayed in advanced tab in entry editor. This way you give your editors ability to save some extra data beside the article. Developers can use this data in code for simple output for example or as a condition for outputting something hardcoded in template.

In mustache (used on postpage) would code look like this:

{{#roar_specific_data.video_caption}}    <div class="widget__video_caption">        {{roar_specific_data.video_caption}}</p>    </div>{{/roar_specific_data.video_caption}}

First we check if video caption exists and if does then we output it.

Important:

Roars by default doesn't have code to render this extra fields in advanced tab in dashboard. Make sure that you have this line of code:

{% if post_extra_fields %}settings.post_extra_fields= {{post_extra_fields|to_json|safe}};{%endif%};

in editor.html file:

engine/roar_name/templates/dashboard/editor.html
