Generic Two Column Page Type

Developer Notes

  • Page Types have been created using Sitecore's Page Branches feature which lets us define pre-configured pages for Content Authors.
  • These page types can be used as a template to create pages, and are available in the insert options list on the website.
  • When a page is created using these templates then it will already have the Page Design set, predefined components added and their data source items created locally. 
  • Generic Two Column Page Type creates a page where the main area is divided in Two Columns and components have been added in these columns. Its name in Sitecore is Generic Two Column Centers and Programs .
  • This page branch is based on Two Column Page template which inherits the Page template which has all the custom metadata fields.
  • Containers have been used to divide the page into two columns.
    • The container on left has Content - Paint Bucket Setting applied and Component Layout - Laptops field value set to 8.
    • The container on right has Component Layout - Laptops field value set to 4.
  • Pre-defined Component details:
    • Base Hero variant of EH Hero is applicable here; local data-source item name - Hero Banner.
