A Component Template or CT is a small program which is used to render (parts of) components based on specified schema’s. In other words programs which create chunks of XHTML. In Tridion parlance these chunks are called Component Presentations.
It is possible to use different CT’s to render the same content. An example might be the rendering of a news article. You might want to present on your homepage a link to a new article. On a news overview page you might want to display the title with a short description of the news content. And there will be a place where the full article is displayed.
This can be achieved by defining three different CTs where each one renders the specific occurrence on the website.
Configuration options for a CT include:
- Linking priority. To get the component links pointing towards the full news article version set the linking priority of this CT to high (or the others to low).
- Template type: Vbscript, Jscript, XSLT, Compound template, .NET.
- Output format: XML, HTML, ASP, JSP etc.
- Publication model: Embedded on a page (static), Dynamic.
- Linked schemas. Components based on these schema will be rendered with the CT. •
Hi,
Good Morning,
I Have doubt regarding component presentation.
Can we generate asp.net or any other user controls using the component presentation.
Example:
If i want to generate
I will be creating a id,textmode,runat attributes in a schema.
create a component for that.
if i wrote the code in component template and pushed the content to generate the above tag,will it work?
My server is wps portal server.
It gets data from tridion.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Prasanna,
Not sure what it is you are trying to accomplish. It looks like part of your comment was lost somewhere.
I assume the WPS portal server itself gets the component presentation from the Tridion broker. In that case my guess is that the code will not be executed.
