Using Placeholders of Customer Store
A Placeholder is a container for a specific data type, and it allows inserting data or interface elements in UI Templates. Using Placeholders simplifies the content management of the Customer Sore pages (see Managing Information and Auto-generated Pages UI Templates).
For example, for the product benefits in the product showpage UI Template:
<p>{{ benefit.description }}</p>specify
<p>{{ benefit.description | safe }}</p>By the application area, Placeholders are divided into two classes:
- Global Placeholders that can be used in all UI Templates.
- Local Placeholders that can be used only in a specific UI Template.
By the data type, Placeholders are divided into the following classes:
- Placeholders for insertion of metadata, styles, and scripts
- Placeholders for insertion of navigation elements (Menu)
- Placeholders for insertion of Reseller information
- Placeholders for insertion of Product information in the Catalog page
