All MyCashflow Interface tags have a scope that determines where the tags can be used. Some tags can also set their own scope in the helper attribute.

A tag's scope determines the store theme's templates and tags in whose helper attributes this tag can be used.

Scopes are defined in themes in two ways:

To check a tag's scope, refer to the Scope section on the tag's dedicated page. If the tag has no prescribed scope, it will be marked as global which means that it can be used anywhere. Also, the scopes of tags' helper attributes are indicated on tags' pages.

Setting the scope of the helper attribute

Some tags can set the scopes themselves, which means that it is possible to use only such tags as the tag's helper attribute value that are allowed by the scope. An example of such a tag is {Category}, the scope of which is a product category. Additionally, also a product can fall into the tag’s scope by using the product list tag.

The tag {Category} itself does not require any scope and can be used globally.

The following example illustrates the scope set by the {Category} tag:

{Category(
    id: 3,
    helper: {{
        {CategoryName}
        {CategoryDescription}
        {CategoryProducts(
            helper: {{
                <h3>{ProductName}</h3>
                {ProductPrices}
                {ProductBuy}
            }}
        )}
    }}
)}

The desired product category can be indicated in the id attribute and the contents to be printed are defined in the helper attribute. In the example, the name, description and all products belonging to the product category will be printed.

You may also want to define the product list's markup and contents. The helper attribute will work properly also when nested in the {CategoryProducts} tag. The scope of the list printed by the tag is product, which means that product tags can be used as values of the attribute.
