DISPLAY TEMPLATES
Display Template
One of the most valuable new features in SharePoint 2013
No more XSLT!
Categories of Display Templates
ControlSimilar to ContentQueryMain.xsl
Filter, Group and Hover PanelSimilar to Header.xsl +more
ItemSimilar to itemstyle.xsl
Control
The container for the “Groups, Filters and Items” to comeBest way to reference custom files (JavaScript, CSS, etc…)
Item
Controls what happens to each item rendered through the queryUse Managed Properties to show the content you want where you want using HTML
Editing a Display Template
Always comes in 2; a HTML and JS fileNEVER edit the JS file – it is automatically generated
What is it made of?
The Content Search Web Part is essentially 2 things
1. Query Builder
2. Display Templates
DESIGN PACKAGES
Design Packages
Used to be complicated (Unless you had Visual Studio and knew how to use it)Makes it easy to work withthird partyCreates a WSP for you todeploy in SharePoint
Watch out… it’s not perfect
