The ATDW module will automatically sync attractions from ATDW using the OC Tourist Attraction content type. You can also create these pages via the site tree; synced OC Tourist Attraction pages have the same functionalities as those made within the site tree.
To create or update an attraction page:
- If you're creating from scratch, right-click in the site tree where you want to make the page and select Create Page.
- Select OC Tourist Attraction as the content type. If you're editing an existing page, navigate to the OC Tourist Attraction page in your site tree which you want to edit, and select Update.
- Make your changes to the page fields. Please note that you cannot alter the content in the WYSIWYG Editor or other locked fields.
- Preview and Publish your page when you're ready.
We have made changes to how we handle content synced from ATDW. These changes align with the ATDW Distribution Licence Agreement, which states that all content is controlled and managed by ATDW Operators. To maintain ATDW as the accurate source of truth, all fields will now be locked in the CMS, except for the Page name and Content labels fields. We are keeping these fields unlocked so you can control the page URL and the content lists on which they display. All fields are unlocked when creating an OC Tourist Attraction page from the admin.
All locked fields must be updated in ATDW, which will then update on the next sync. Unlocked fields will not update at the next sync.
What to Include on OC Tourist Attraction Pages
You can use the following information to create your OC Tourist Attraction pages. All fields except the Page name and Content labels are locked for synced pages.
Two WYSIWYG Editors are available to create content for newly created pages. The main body content editor can be accessed from the blue area of the template image, while the other can be accessed by selecting Attraction activities, facilities, accessibility information from the WYSIWYG Editor drop-down menu. Content in either WYSIWYG Editor will appear in the main content area.
- Page name: Completes the unique page URL.
- Attraction name: The name of the attraction.
- Product short description: A short description of the attraction to appear in search results and listing pages.
