Magic tags

Magic tags are simple, global name → value placeholders you can drop into any design or content type HTML — useful for values that repeat across a lot of content, like a Wi-Fi password or a venue name.

Manage them on the Magic Tags page (/magictags).

Defining a tag

Create a magic tag with a name, a type, and an optional description to remind editors what the tag is for.

The description isn't substituted into content — it's shown as a tooltip on the tag chip when inserting tags into a design or content type.

Text tags

A Text tag has a name and a value; the value is what gets rendered wherever the tag is used, for example:

Name	Value	Description
wifi_password	Guest1234	Guest Wi-Fi password shown on info screens
venue_name	Hall B	Display name of the venue/hall

List tags

A List tag doesn't hold its own value directly. Instead it points at a Magic Tag Value List — a named set of key → value entries, managed in the Magic Tag Value Lists card on the same page — and a key to look up in that list. At render time, DisplayHive resolves the tag to the value of the matching entry.

This is useful when several magic tags should share one editable table of options — e.g. a "Rooms" value list with an entry per room, and one List tag per design that just picks which room's entry to show:

| Value List Rooms | | | |---|---| | Key | Value | | hall_a | Hall A — Main Stage | | hall_b | Hall B — Workshops |

Magic Tag	Type	Value List	Key
current_room	List	Rooms	hall_a

Editing the value list's entries updates every List tag pointing at it immediately, without having to edit each tag individually.

Using a tag

Reference it in a design's HTML/CSS or a content type's HTML as {{ var_<name> }} (the name is case-insensitive):

<p>Wi-Fi password: {{ var_wifi_password }}</p>

At render time, DisplayHive substitutes the stored value. The tag must already exist on the Magic Tags page — unlike containers, which are drawn directly on the Layouts canvas, nothing is auto-created from a placeholder.
