Fragments in the Toolbox

Site Studio includes numerous out-of-the-box fragments that you can begin using right away without knowing how to create or edit a fragment. Using the sample fragments is a great way to add instant functionality to your Web site while learning about the practical use and potential of a fragment.

Sample Fragments in the Toolbox

The sample fragments are available in the Toolbox and are divided into four categories:

• Navigation Fragments: This category contains fragments that provide site navigation for your Web site (navigation bar, breadcrumbs, search box, and so on). The beauty of a navigation fragment is that it automatically reads your existing site hierarchy and converts the sections into hyperlinks that display in a navigation menu. Consequently, you can update and change your site hierarchy, and those changes are seen immediately on your Web site. For a description of these fragments, see Navigation Fragments.

• Dynamic List Fragments: This category contains fragments that provide advanced contribution features for your Web site, specifically the ability to query for contributor data files and native documents in the content server. Contributors can then use the Contributor application to add, remove, and edit the files in the list (see Dynamic List Fragments).

• Static List Fragments: This category contains fragments that provide advanced contribution features for your Web site, specifically the ability to create a structured layout of elements (WYISIWYG, plain text, image, and custom). Contributors can then use the Contributor application to add, remove, and edit rows and columns of information in the list (see Static List Fragments).

• Other Fragments: This category contains miscellaneous fragments that you may find useful for your site (a copyright line, an embedded Flash presentation, a dynamically converted native document, Manager, and so on). For a description of these fragments, see Other Fragments.
