Creating the Rendering for my new module

ØGoing to duplicate the existing one and create the new one

ØGo to the path

/Sitecore/layout/Renderings/Feature/Experience Accelerator/Page Content/Promo

ØChanged all the required section property

ØThere are two options in the Parameters section, always recommend selecting the second one to create the new copy for our renderings

ØThe same options are available in the Data Source section

ØI am going to select the second option and gives the views name which I want to create

ØThen Proceed with your configuration for creation.

New Component Structure

ØMy new rendering is created in the chosen path. We can find all the configurations in the rendering that we mentioned while the creation

ØThese sections are created automatically except the highlighted section that is created in the initial stage.

ØPath : /sitecore/templates/Feature/SXADemo/Services 

ØThen I go to Services template 

ØThat contains the promo property, so let me create the fields for our requirements

ØRemove all the existing properties,

ØAdded the Services source query is

query:$sharedSites/*[@@name='Home']/*[@@templatename='Services Details']

Create the Rendering Variant

ØAlready we have a default rendering variant for our new module

ØGo to

/Sitecore/templates/Branches/Feature/SXADemo/Services

 

Delete the Promo properties    

Add the new field with the name of our template field section, then only It will map the fields,

I am going to create the rendering variant for the below template section which was created in the last

 

 According to I have to create two field sections and 1 reference section

query:$site/*[@@name='Home']//*[@@templatename='Services Overview']

(If you are new to rendering variant, then please go through the basic

Note:

I like to explain about the services section variant

There are three properties, Pass-through field created while the section  created,

If you like to show the result maximum of 6 then we could configure the above one and if you mentioned the section property as 2 then the first 2 results will be skipped from your total results.

But I am not going to use this now.

ØUnder the service section I have to create the fields for that, this is my service source template structure

ØAnd for styling added one more section column as Section and moved all fields into that

ØIn the column section I choose the link property as wrapped
