Create index and details pages
Most page templates create a pair of pages. They have an index page to provide content navigation and a details page to display individual content items.
The following templates are the only ones that do not require a pair of index and details pages:
- The Stand-alone Topic template is a stand-alone Details page template for static pages.
- The FAQ Index/Detail template combines the index and details functions in one page.
- The Contact Us template only requires a details page.
Follow these steps to create the page or pages:
- Navigate to the landing page created.
- Turn on Edit mode.
- Click Create from the toolbar.
- Enter the name of the page.
- Select the appropriate page template for the type of content we want to create.
- Select where to place the new page. For example, Child of current page.
- Click Create Page.
New index and details pages are created with a corresponding structure in the IBM Web Content Manager library. After these pages are created, which may take up to a minute, we see a list of sample content items.
Results
You now have a working pair of pages with sample content. We can edit or remove the sample content to add our own content.
- Modify index pages
After creating an index page from a template, add some sample content and set up an index to display it.
- Modify details pages
When a user clicks a content item link, the appropriate details page is located and the portlets retrieve information from this item.
