ページと領域
Content Manager のページは、一般的に発行された Web サイトの Web ページであるコンテンツの単位に対応します。領域は、ページをさらに小さなコンテンツ領域に分割します。ページはページ スキーマに基づいています。ページ スキーマでは、ページに存在できる領域 (コンテンツ領域) やコンポーネント (コンポーネント プレゼンテーション)、およびその数を定義します。
次の図は、さまざまな Content Manager 構築ブロックを組み合わせて、Web サイトに発行できるページを作成する方法を簡素化して表したものです。
- Component Schemas
- A Component Schema, often simply called Schema, defines the structure of Component content and determines the type of content that authors can create. For example, a Schema called "Press Release" could define the following fields:
- Headline
- Date
- Summary
- Body
- Components
- Component is a collection of text or multimedia content based on its Component Schema. Components based on the same Component Schema share the structure defined by that Schema. You add Components (or Component Presentations) to a Page's defined Regions, including the Page itself.
- Component Templates and Component Presentations
- If your organization uses a template-based publishing model a Component Template defines how Components are displayed and behave on a webpage. The combination of the Component Template with the Component creates a publishable piece of content called a Component Presentation. In a templateless, data-only publishing model, no Component Template is required and there is no concept of a Component Presentation. The look and feel of content is removed from the template and done instead by the application that uses the published content, such as a website, mobile app or a kiosk display screen.
- Regions
- A Region represents a content area on a Page, and can contain Components (or Component Presentations) and/or further Regions. In fact, a Page is considered the top-level Region. The red dashed boxed areas on the right are Regions.
- Region Schemas
- A Region Schema defines what a Region based on this schema can contain. This includes which, and how many Components (or Component Presentations) or other Regions can be placed in a Region. Each Region Schema can have its own nested Regions.
- Pages
- A Page is a top-level Region, which contains one or more Regions and/or Components (or Component Presentations). Since the Page is also a Region, it is based on a Region Schema, which you specify in the Page Template.
- Page Templates
- Page Templates define how a published webpage is generally constructed and behaves. In a template-based publishing model, the Page Template normally includes Template Building Blocks that define branding and other design elements. In a data-only publishing model, selecting a Page Template is required although the Page Template itself is empty, that is, with no Template Building Blocks.
