Configuration

Debug Mode

Twig debugging allows use of dump() to inspect Twig variables.
It becomes active when:

• WordPress debug mode (WP_DEBUG) is enabled, or
• ICDS_TWIG_DEBUG = true.

Template Caching

Caching improves Twig template rendering performance.
Enable it with (Advanced settings in DataPress Admin Area):

ICDS_TWIG_CACHE = true

Mobile Device Detection

DataPress exposes MobileDetect helpers in Twig:

isMobile: {% if isMobile %}Yes{% else %}No{% endif %}
isChrome: {% if isChrome %}Yes{% else %}No{% endif %}
isFirefox: {% if isFirefox %}Yes{% else %}No{% endif %}

Intellisense hints are available when typing {{ inside a Dataverse Twig block.

Date/Time Mode

Your Dataverse ICDS_DATETIME_VALUE setting controls how date columns behave:

• Legacy
• UTC
• Local

Different fields (e.g., User Local) adjust their output accordingly. Use format_datetime() for consistent locale/timezone formatting.

Examples for the createdon column which has User Local behavior:

	Legacy	UTC	Local
{{record.createdon}}	UTC	UTC	convert the date and time to the user's timezone
{{record.createdon_utc}}	UTC	UTC	UTC
{{record.createdon_local}}	convert the date and time to the user's timezone	convert the date and time to the user's timezone	convert the date and time to the user's timezone

Usage Scenarios

Timezone & Locale Sources

• user.timezone / user.locale
• site.timezone / site.locale

These follow the IANA timezone format (e.g., Europe/Paris, UTC).

Request Context

Object request contains information about the current request. It has the following members:

• params -- merged map of cookies, POST form values and GET query arguments
• path -- relative page URL
• path_and_query -- relative page URL with query arguments
• query -- query arguments, start with ? if not empty
• url -- full request URL

Global object params is the alias of request.params.

Dataverse Connection Status

{% if crm.connected %}
  Dataverse connection active
{% endif %}
