Introducing Page Templates in Content-tab

1 Initial Problem

Page templates can only be used in Portfolios and ILIAS learning modules. If users create a new page, you can create the page from a template.

With ILIAS 9 Page Templates become a page editor element. The page templates can be selected and inserted in the Page Editor via the Create Menu. In this way, page templates can be made available even in objects that do not have pages, such as container objects. 

2 Conceptual Summary

All page editor contexts should be selectable for page layout activation, all contexts should allow to insert content via page layouts.

3 User Interface Modifications

3.1 List of Affected Views

• Administration » Layout and Navigation » Page Templates » Settings
• Page Editor » Create Menu

3.2 User Interface Details

After users have selected Template in the Create Menu, active templates are displayed in the Slate. A placeholder "Template in process" is displayed in the content area. Users can select a template via radio button, save their input, refresh the page or cancel the template selection.

Contexts in which page templates can be inserted are listed in the administration. Page templates can be activated or deactivated for individual contexts.
