Thread: how do i create a new content page

How do you create a new content page like t-sample.aspx? I created a topic and i want to embed it in a page.. do i create it manually or thru the admin somehow?

You create topics in the admin section by going to the Manage Content -> Topics section (in versions >= 8.0.0.0) and by going to Misc -> Topics (in versions < 8.0.0.0). You can then do one of several things with the topic. You can

1. Access the topic page directly at t-your_topic_name.aspx
2. Emped the topic in an .aspx page using
   Code:

   <aspdnsf:Topic runat="server" ID="someIDhere" TopicName="your_topic_name"/>

3. Access the contents of the topic in a code-behind page (.aspx.cs or .aspx.vb) or from a class by invoking a new instance of the Topic class with using the topic name or ID
   Code:

   Topic t = new Topic(14);
   String topicContents = t.Contents();

   or
   Code:

   Topic t = new Topic("your_topic_name");
   String topicContents = t.Contents();

4. Embed the topic in an xmlpackage using
   Code:

   <xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:Topic('your_topic_name')" disable-output-escaping="yes" />
