Work with Web content pages

A Web content page is a portal page that displays Web content from a site or site area by mapping the page to the Web content site structure in your Web Content Management system. When you add the Web Content Viewer to a Web content page, the portlet automatically renders the default content of the attached site or site area. In addition to displaying the default content, the Web Content Viewer provides a dynamic broadcasting option that selects the best matching Web content page when selecting links to other content items.

• Web content page templates

  Although it is not recommended, it is possible to use existing Web content pages as template pages for the creation of new Web content pages. Web content page templates can contain any number of preconfigured or unconfigured portlets. Whenever a new page is created from the template, the page layout, portlets, and portlet configuration from the template are copied to the new page. However, if you do choose to use a Web content page as a template, take special care with regards to the sharing of public render parameters.

• Creating Web content pages

  Create a new Web content page and associate it with a Web Content Management site or site area.

• Creating a Web content page with the XML configuration interface

  As with other portal pages, you can create a Web content page with the XML configuration interface (xmlaccess command). Page definition is similar to a standard portal page, with the addition of a page parameter that specifies the site or site area that is associated with the Web content page.

• Preview content on Web content pages

  If you have enabled support for Web content pages, you can preview content items in the authoring portlet as they will appear on Web content pages.

• Dynamic Web content page selection

  The Web Content Viewer provides a link broadcasting feature that leverages the Web Content Management context that is attached to a Web content page, using that context to dynamically look up the best matching Web content page to render the linked content item.
