Updating the authoring templates

The authoring templates must be expanded since Image or Rich Text components cannot be used in XDIME.

About this task

The authoring templates for the "Home" page and "News" page must be expanded to include two components: SC ImageFile and SC MobileBody.
  • SC ImageFile component is needed so that the image file itself can be referenced without having to rely on the image component that is generating HTML.
  • SC MobileBody component will be a Text Component rather than Rich Text so that HTML is not generated. It might also contain a condensed version of the body information since you will likely be working with smaller screens on mobile devices.
Note: If you do not want to maintain duplicate information in the SC Image and SC ImageFile components, you could modify the SC PT MobileNews presentation template to generate an <img> HTML tag using the SC ImageFile rather than the SC Image component.
Perform the following procedure to add the SC Image and SC ImageFile components to the authoring template.
