Dynamic Component Presentations

Components are combined with Component Templates during publishing to produce Component Presentations. A Component Presentation is a publishable piece of content. You can add static Component Presentations to a Web page manually in the Content Manager, or dynamically at runtime. This section describes how to create Dynamic Component Presentations.

Add Component Presentations to a Web page dynamically as follows:

  • Dynamic Component Templates—the published Web page contains code to retrieve the Component Presentation at request time.
  • Content Broker Query API—use the Content Broker Query API to develop and run a query.
  • URL Query Parameters—pass the piece of content as a query parameter to the Web page.
  • Raw XML—you can publish raw XML and transform it at request time using XSLT.
  • Dynamic Content API—use the Dynamic Content API to write low-level code that organizes your Web site as a dynamic Web application rather than adding content to the Web page through inclusion or querying.
