Page Template manifest files enable you to define page templates for your portal. The Page Template provides the outer wrapper of your pages and encloses a Layout Template. In addition, Page Templates do the following:
Start and end the HTML tags
Start the rendering process
Provide Community Page Navigation
Provide persistent navigation links
Provide the footer
The following example shows an abbreviated Page Template manifest.
<!--FILE HEADER GOES HERE --!> <page-templates> <page-template name="Default Page Template" version="1.0" author="AUTHOR"> <description>Default Page Template</description> <servlet-context>/portal</servlet-context> <display-modes> <display-mode name="shared"> <device-output name="html">/templates/page/html/shared.jsp</device-output> <device-output name="wml">/templates/page/wml/shared.jsp</device-output> </display-mode> <display-mode name="full"> <device-output name="html">/templates/page/html/full.jsp</device-output> <device-output name="wml">/templates/page/wml/full.jsp</device-output> </display-mode> </display-modes> </page-template> </page-templates>
For details about the tags and attributes you can use in a Page Template manifest file, see Page Template Manifest Elements in Appendix A, Portal Manifest Reference.
