Create a presentation template

If you are designing a published content port let that consists of a simple collection of links to other content items, the usual triad of Content Item, Data Entry Template, and Presentation Template may be unnecessary, especially if the Data Entry Template would contain no properties.

Instead, you can create a stand-alone Presentation Template that is publishable without a content item or Data Entry Template.

Such an independently publishable Presentation Template uses pcs functions to refer to the content items to be included in the port let, without the necessity of referring to a Data Entry Template or associated content item.

To create an independently publishable Presentation Template:

1. In Publisher Explorer, create a folder for the Presentation Template.

2.Launch the Presentation Template Editor.

3.Enter the Presentation Template Name and Publishing Name that will be used for the file name on the Web server.

The system adds the .html extension when the template is published.

4.In the Publishable field, select Complete Page.

5.In the Code section, enter or upload the Presentation Template code.

You can use any tag or expression in the pcs language in an independently publishable Presentation Template.

The following function and method are specific to independently publishable Presentation Templates:

·     Template Bypath (folder? path): returns only independently publishable Presentation Templates.

    Folder. Templates: returns the independently publishable Presentation Templates in the folder.
