The -article parameter is used to display the details of a Find Answers article. It is used with the Pid (parameter ID) parameter to specify the article for which details will be listed. Since you must supply the form with the ID of the Find Answers article to display, this is usually reference from another form or portion of a form that contains a list of articles with their IDs. Then, when that link is clicked the $IF -article is used to show the details for the selected article.
Basic Example:
$IF -article -Pid'articleID'$
The details for the article specified by articleID would be shown here.
$Else$
There is no such article
$EndIf$
In the example above, the value for articleID would have been passed from another link. However, it is possible to hard code the value for a specific article, if desired, as shown below.
Hard Coded Article Value Example:
$IF -article -Pid'95'$
The details for the article with InteractionID of 95 would be shown here.
$Else$
There is no such article
$EndIf$
To form a fully functional Find Answers page, the $Value -article command is used to present the details for the article selected. See the Find Answers form example using these parameters for more information.
