Adding a Content Part to a Page

You can use content parts to edit a portion of a site theme with a custom message, link list, or other less dynamic content.

To add a Content Part to an existing theme, use the <CSControl:ContentPart /> control. You can place  <CSControl:ContentPart /> controls in any theme page. 

The following example defines an editable area, which is a content part, with the name site-welcome and default content Please edit…

<CSControl:ContentPart ContentName="site-welcome" ContentCssClass="CommonContentPartBorderOff" ContentHoverCssClass="CommonContentPartBorderOn" runat="server">
    <DefaultContentTemplate>
        Please edit...
    </DefaultContentTemplate>
</CSControl:ContentPart>

You should set the ContentName property of the <CSControl:ContentPart /> control to the unique name of this content.  The same content will be edited and displayed anywhere in the site that a content part is shown with this name.

Community Server renders the markup defined by <DefaultContentTemplate> of the <CSControl:ContentPart /> control until you edit the content part.

The system administrator can double-click the content of each Content Part when it appears on a Web page to edit it.
