Overview

The Profile Template is the template that all the profile pages are created from. To construct your Profiles Template complete the following steps.

Steps

  1. Create a CommonSpot page called 'Profile' from the Base Plus One template. (The subsite for this is not critical but it is a good idea to create this page in a subsite that has been created for the Profile Roles).
  2. Place the 'Profile' Custom Element on this page.
  3. Click "Render Mode" in the element interface.
  4. Select 'Display existing element data (content reuse)' on the 'Rendering Mode' tab.
  5. Select the 'Filter' tab.
  6. Select Filter Type to 'Show subset of records'.
  7. Select the field drop-down as the 'uniqueID' field.
  8. Select the operator as 'Equals'.
  9. Click the '...' button to open the ColdFusion expression window.
  10. Enter the text 'request.page.metadata.profiles.uniqueid' as the expression and check the 'force cache' checkbox. Click 'OK' and then check the box to 'Ignore ColdFusion error', then click 'Ok'.
  11. Click 'Ok' on the render mode window.
  12. Click "More" in the element interface. Then the "Custom Render Handlers" menu option, and choose the "Full Page" Render Handler.
  13. Submit Page and then Save as Template.
  14. Remember to submit the template for public use.
  15. Go to the CommonSpot Site Administration and bind the 'profiles' metadata form to this 'Profile Template'.

Update Profile Site Config

This template will be used to create profile pages. Update the pt_profile.xml config file that we setup in Site Configuration. Get the pageid for this page and update the <TEMPLATE_ID> tag value with the pageid.
