    To update your course list/detail pages to this new styling and template:

    • Republish your core.css page assembly (found in the 050 level in Root > CSS)
    • Republish the course pages in your 050 website publication

    We're happy to announce some great updates to the Course component/page templates to improve the overall appearance and behavior of course content within Tridion. As with many improvements, this one comes off the heels of a work order request to introduce a few necessary improvements and enhancements to how courses are displayed in both list and detail view.

    Conditional display

    This content type was originally developed for MMB's Enterprise Talent Development website, targeting very specific sets of information that they wanted to share about each course. But as we know, not all courses are created equal — some have date ranges, some do not, some don't have any date associated with them.  Additionally some do not have associated attributes such as competencies, skills, or other descriptive course attributes.

    To address this and give you a little more flexibility, we've made the optional fields conditional in the template. Now, when there are fields that you've left blank (such as the start or end date of a course), those sections of code will not render out and are left out of the display.  

    Improved layout

    We've also improved the overall look and feel of the courses page — both its list and detail views.  We've cleaned up the individual course listings and made it easier to distinguish the registration deadline, start, and end date/time of the course (if present).  Additionally, the headings have been fixed and reformatted to improve overall accessibility compliance and logical size adjustments as well.

    List view:

    Detail view:
    /showcase/assets/screencap-course-detail_tcm12-436031.pngscreencap course detail view

    If you use the course content type on Tridion and wish to receive these updates you only need do two things:

    1. Republish the CSS page(s) in your respective 050 Website publication within Root > CSS
    2. Republish your course page(s).  You do not need to republish the individual courses.

    If you need assistance, please submit a work order request and we'll gladly help you out.
