Initial Sandbox Content

In this section, you create the following pages which all use the page template:

• SCF Sandbox Site, which will redirect to the English version of the main page
  
  • SCF Sandbox - the main page for the English version of the site
    
    • SCF Play - child of the main page on which to play
      

Although this tutorial does not delve into language copies, it is designed so the root page may implement detection of the preferred language for the user through the HTML header, and redirect to the appropriate main page for the language.  The convention is to use the two-letter country code for the node name of the page, e.g., "en" for English, "fr" for French, and so on.

Now that there is a page template, we can establish the root page of the website in the /content directory.

When /etc/designs/an-scf-sandbox was created using the designs section of the Tools console, the property

• cq:template="/libs/wcm/core/templates/designpage"

was defined, which provides the optional ability to reference design assets in a script using currentDesign.getPath().  For example

• <% String favIcon = currentDesign.getPath() + "/favicon.ico"; %>

This provides a single entry to edit if the location of designs changes, such as for a new version.

To link pages to the design, using CRXDE Lite add the cq:designPath property :

1. select node /content/an-scf-sandbox/en/jcr:content
   
2. in the entry area at the bottom of the Properties tab, type the following values for a new property:
   • Name: cq:designPath
   • Type: String 
   • Value: /etc/designs/an-scf-sandbox
3. Click the green  [+] Add

• click Save All
