The Advertisement Tab

Displays a content item teaser, like the Teaser widget. In fact, a Teaser view generates almost identical markup to a Teaser widget (see Teaser widget ). A Teaser view, however, has no "back-end" for retrieving content items from the Content Engine and cannot be used on its own. You cannot place a Teaser view directly in a template.

Instead, a Teaser view must always be used in combination with a Content Body widget, View Picker widget, Teaser Grid widget or Search Component widget. To use a Teaser view once you have configured it, you must drop it on the Related view field of one the above widgets. The idea is that you drop several differently configured Teaser views onto the Related view field of a View Picker widget (for example) and then configure them to select different types of content item from the View Picker's data source. In this way the View Picker is able to present different types of content item in different ways.

A Teaser View, therefore has two different sets of properties that are configured in different ways:

Properties that govern the Teaser View's appearance and behavior when rendered. These are more or less the same as the Teaser widget's properties, and are edited in the normal way
Properties that govern the selection of content items from an owning widget's Data Source. These properties can only be edited after the Teaser View has been dropped on a View Picker or Search Component widget.

The Advertisement tab contains the following fields:

Enable pre-roll (pick value from list, default=Default)

Determines whether or not pre-roll ads are displayed in videos. Note that pre-roll ads are not supported by all video players. This parameter only has any effect if you are using a video player that supports pre-roll ads.

You can select one of the following values:

Default: The current default setting is used. This means the value set with the wf.media.ad.preroll.enable section parameter in either the current section or one of its ancestors.
Show: Display pre-roll ads.
Hide: Do not display pre-roll ads.

Pre-roll ad (relation)

You can drop a Service content item here. The Service content item must contain the URL and query string parameter settings for a VAST or Google IMA advertising service that is to supply the pre-roll ads displayed by this widget.
