Template Creation

[krishh_187]

Hi,

How developer can create nodes like (par,colctrl,gear-header) in template creation? Normally while creating pages, using sidekick we can drag drop into parsys but how can we do in case of template creation?

Hi Krishh,

These are default node, usually you can create these node under apps/templates/xyz_template/jcr:content[------].

These node are automatically created under page which you can create using above template

They are also called boiler plate templates.

Hi Edubey,

Thanks for the info. I can't see any template.custom.xml under (geometrics_outdoors/templates). If u see the attachment those nodes are from template only not from the page.

If you're looking in CRXDE Lite, you won't see the template .content.xml files - those are stored in your code base and serialized when sent over to AEM.  If you create a package in Package Manager that contains the "templates" folder for Geometrixx Outdoors, you'll see that in each of the template directories there is a .content.xml file, and in that file you'll see how the default nodes/structure can be added.

Hi Leeasling,

Thanks for the info. How can I create a template using crxdelite with all the node as inputs (similar to page creation by drag and drop components from sidekick).

Or Do I need to follow reverse engineering like create .context.xml file with all the info and create template?

If I go with reverse order, how to create a template from (.context.xml) file.

Pls don't mind, if my question looks silly :)

Hi Krish, 

Do not get consfused by the content.xml, the link I shared to just to share the concept to you.

Now coming to you,

Just go to apps/templates/xyz_template/jcr:content/

and create nodes of type nt:unstrtucture

In every node you need to assign properties as well as sling:resouceType
