Beer Ratings Help

The plugin returns all of the fields available via the RateBeer.com's API (at the time of plugin release). For questions concerning which fields are available via the API queries, please visit RateBeer.com's API Google Group. If new fields are added to the API response, then I can add those fields to the output.

Click the section headers below to view specific fields available for use in your output formats.

How to use Output Fields

Use the output fields as HTML placeholders. For example, if you want to output the name of the beer, then place '#_BEERNAME' in your output format and it will be dynamically replaced with the actual beer name.

How to use Conditions

Conditions are logical operations such as 'if' statements. For example, if you want to render a beer's ABV, you can use '#_ALCOHOL'. However, if don't want to render the value if it's null/empty, you can use '{has_abv}ABV: #_ALCOHOL %{/has_abv}'. Using that condition, the ABV will only be rendered if it is not null/empty.

Notes
