3.2.4 xDontShowInListsForWebsites

The xDontShowInListsForWebsites field lists the web sites for which a contributor has specified, through the user interface, that a contributor data file or native document should not display in dynamic lists on the web site. This field allows the IncludeExclude in Dynamic List feature to work properly. When a contributor excludes a file from a dynamic list, the web site ID is added to this value. If the contributor later re-includes the content in dynamic lists for the web site, the web site ID is removed from this metadata field and the content becomes available to the dynamic lists again.

3.2.5 xRegionDefinition

The xRegionDefinition metadata field specifies the region definition that a contributor data file is associated with. A data file can be associated with only one region definition, but a region definition may be associated with many data files. Region definitions define the types of content used on a web site. They could be thought of as content classes. They are essentially groups of individual elements which define the various chunks of reusable information for a particular site content type. For example, there could be a region definition content class called Press-Release, which consists of the elements Title, Subtitle, Intro-Text, Body-Text, and Image. Contributor data files are associated with a region definition to store the data for each element in the region definition. What a contributor can do with the data is controlled by element definitions. In addition to defining site content types in terms of its constituent parts elements, region definitions also specify the content creation and switching options available to contributors for its associated contribution regions. For example, if a contribution region is set up to allow contributors to switch the content of that region, they might be allowed to use existing contributor data files on the server only not native documents or new contributor data files. Please note that placeholder definitions control whether contributors can actually switch content in contribution regions. Finally, region definitions also set the default metadata for content in contribution regions as it is checked into the content server. See the Oracle Fusion Middleware Users Guide for Site Studio Designer for more information about region definitions. Note: If a web site value displays in this metadata field for a particular data file or native document, then that piece of content will not display in any lists on the site; however, it will still display in search results for the site. 4 Link Formats 4-1 4 Link Formats This section covers the following topics: ■ Section 4.1, About Link Formats
