Link examples for Web Content Viewers | HCL Digital Experience

Example 1: Configuring links for a single portlet

In this scenario, a single Web Content Viewer is configured to show a dynamic component, such as a menu. The menu contains links to content in a site area. When you click a link, the viewer continues to render the component, but the component uses the target content to set the web content context. Based on the new context, the component generates appropriate markup. In this example of a menu, the component shows links to content of the site area where the target content is located.

When you display a component with a Web Content Viewer, you can also select an alternative presentation template in the content view of the content section. When a link is clicked in the component, the content that is then rendered uses the alternative presentation template.

Example 2: Configuring links for a menu and content

Example 3: Configuring links for a navigator and content

Example 4: Configuring dynamic links for a navigator and web content pages

In this scenario, one Web Content Viewer contains a site views navigator, and several web content pages that are associated with different site areas. Each web content page contains a viewer and is configured to show the default content item of the site area that is associated with the page.

Instead of manually creating links between the different viewers, you can use dynamic link broadcasting with the viewer. Dynamic link broadcasting automatically determines which web content page is used as the target for the links to the site area in the navigator.
