The Thumbnail Images Placeholder is a XML placeholder control that displays thumbnail of images in a Resource Gallery. In authoring mode, authors specify which resource gallery to generate image thumbnails, thumbnail size, number of thumbnails to be displayed in one table row and sorting order. In presentation mode, all images in the Resource Gallery specified will be rendered as thumbnails with link to the full size images. Practical application includes showing images of an event for example.
The Custom Properties Placeholder is a placeholder control that allows authors to edit Posting Custom Properties directly in the page. In authoring mode, Custom Properties are rendered in textboxes or listboxes for users to enter values. In unpublished non-preview mode, Custom Properties are rendered in text values. In published or preview mode, nothing will be rendered.
Last year I was involved in the MSIB sales engagement at Transport Direct - please to see that the case study has been made available. Transport Direct is a Department for Transport programme to provide travellers in the UK with an integrated public transport information system. Travellers will be able to use the CMS/CS on-line portal to plan their journeys and purchase tickets, for all modes of transport throughout the UK. The solution architecture uses Microsoft .NET Framework to combine the new dynamic front-end portal with existing journey planning and location based legacy applications and databases. Transport Direct will enable the public to make more informed choices about their travel decisions to achieve more efficient and cost effective journeys.
