Overview
The templates are applied to a node type or a metadata mixin type. There are two types of templates:
Dialogs: are in the HTML form that allows creating node instances.
Views: are in the HTML fragments which are used to display nodes.
From the ECM admin portlet, the Manage Template lists existing node types associated to Dialog and/or View templates. These templates can be attached to permissions (in the usual membership:group form), so that a specific one is displayed according to the rights of the user (very useful in a content validation workflow activity).
Document Type
The checkbox defines if the node type should be considered as the Document type or not. Sites Explorer considers such nodes as user content and applies the following behavior:
View template will be used to display the document type nodes.
Document types nodes can be created by the 'Add Document' action.
Non-document types are hidden (unless the 'Show non document types' option is checked).
Templates are written by using Groovy Templates that requires some experiences with JCR API and HTML notions.
