I just want to comment about present...Great post!<br /> <br />I just want to comment about presentation layout details settings in Sitecore.<br /><br />You suggest that these settings are often defined on data template items themselves.<br /> <br />With regard to backward compatibility, this is possible, but a current recommended practice is to instead define presentation layout details settings on a data template’s__Standard Values item.<br /><br />Using the Template Manager, you can create the Template Standard Values item. First, select a data template. Make sure that you see the Builder Editor tab which allows you to easily create Field Sections and Fields. In the Ribbon, select the Build Options tab. In the Template group, select the Standard Values command. In the Content Tree, you’ll see the newly created __Standard Values item. In the Editor, you’ll see the __Standard Values item itself. Now, apply your layout details on this item.<br /><br />The benefit of applying presentation layout details settings on the __Standard Values item is that it is not only inherited by all items of this type, but it is also possible to inherit these settings using base template inheritance.<br /><br />There are plenty of more reasons to use always create Template Standard Values, such as default field values (static and dynamic) and other default settings (workflow and insert options).-sethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709791432467395410noreply@blogger.com
