Hi Tony,
In essence it is all code-writing-code. Same with Twig. Same with Handlebars. Sounds like you need some training though. The templating process in OTWM is very straight forward once you know what all the elements do, so figuring that bit out is the necessary first step. I will advise but 2 things: 1) Do your best to avoid pre-execute as it is difficult to debug and is rarely necessary to accomplish your task (RD-execute is fine, however - while there is a performance impact to SmartEdit and Preview at least publishing performance isn't impacted) 2) Don't use a render tag where a normal element/conditional/block tag will suffice; there is a performance impact on render tags too, and it's also a bit tricky to debug You will find the forums abundant with people willing to help (generally) so post questions when you get stuck or something doesn't make sense. Good luck. From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tony Chung Sent: Saturday, 20 July 2013 7:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Templating systems for OpenText Hey. So I know that OpenText uses content classes to drive the HTML for published pages. I've also experienced the use of embedding XSL files to Transform XML content into HTML on published pages. What other templating systems are available for OpenText? If I don't want to go the XSL or code-writing-code method, what are my options for designing templates so the structure and design is completely independent of the system? Or can RQL or render tags be used in a content class in a similar way like Twig or Expression Engine template, which loops and acts on conditional logic based on parameters sent through an external file? -Tony -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RedDot CMS Users" group.
