The CoreMedia DXP 8 example website offers functionality such as site search, login,
password reset and many more. You can place these functions in several locations of your
Page document, but the most natural locations are the headers and footers of a
page as shown in Figure 2.12, “Action items in a page”. To place these function blocks,
CoreMedia DXP 8 contains the content types Action and
Placeholder. As the name suggests, these content items do not contain functional
content such as HTML or JavaScript but are only placeholders, that are replaced with the
actual content when a website is sent to a user.
The system contains predefined content items for common use cases, such as search or registration. The actual available items depend on your CoreMedia installation.
