System metadata for Component Presentations

When Component Presentations are published on Pages, the Component Template used for Component Presentation and Component information metadata are also published.

Component Template used for Component Presentation
  • ID of template
  • Priority of template
  • Output format of template
Component Information
ID of Component (which is used to retrieve Component metadata)

The metadata described above is used by the Dynamic Link Resolver, but is also available through the .NET Tridion Object Model. This make it possible for Template designers to access Component metadata on the Presentation Server.

The following is an example of published Component Presentation Metadata, published to the file system:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<component-presentation>
	<component id="13"/>
	<component-template id="43" priority="200" output-format="text/html"/>
</component-presentation>
