My website postings is created and prensented by topics. I would also like to
group my posting in these catagories: programsA, programB, programC and
audienceA, AudienceB. Is it efficient to use the following approach?

1. create these custom propteries: programA, programB, programC, AudienceA,
AudienceB, AudienceC
2. if the default value is true for the programA properties, then the
posting will be grouped in ProgramA page, etc.
3.The result will be stored in ProgramA.htm,
ProgramB.htm...AudiencA...AudienceC page. I know it will cost some system
recources to run the generation on the fly, that is why I want to generate
the result in htm page and include it in the live site.

I hope I make myself clear enough.

Thanks

Hi Mindy,

you should do this on the fly but use output caching.
This will ensure that the costs are only coming up once till the cache
timeout occurs.

Cheers,
Stefan

shall I use this varyByCustom="CMSPosting;CMSRole"
My page does not require login do I need to use CMSRole? What's the
guideline to set the duration? How long should I set the output caching?

Another question: Each program requires different color them, shall I create
different template for each program although the placeholder and user control
are the same? Or is there any easier way to workaround by chaning the
template color on the fly base on the program?

Thanks

Hi Mindy,

if you don't require authentication, then just use CmsPosting.
For the time: that depends on your requirements.

For the color changing: I would use the same template and use a query string
parameter to load different CSS files on the fly.

Cheers,
Stefan
