Page Generation

Hi,

My teamsite is having following folder structure:
default/main/Portal/workarea/Announce/...

templatedata folder is present inside workarea as: default/main/Portal/workarea/templatedata/....

I am trying to generate a html page , by default it sits outside templatedata folder but I want to save ".html" file inside "Announce" folder.
I can do this manually by browsing that particular folder , is their any other way to do ? like by default it will go and sit inside "Announce" folder.

Regards,
Janvi

Really? And what's supposed to happen if Content Contributor genertes the output from the DCR opened in the "View" mode?

What do you mean by "inside 'Announce' folder' - Announce is the name of the workarea (according to the above) so the output, by default, will be saved somewhere within that folder.

Yes Announce folder is inside workarea same as templatedata folder, and by default my .html file gets stored outside templatedata folder .I want to put my file(.html) directly inside Announce folder (or i can call it as some folder structure) instead of browsing it manually.

Use FormAPI's

IWPageGeneration.setOutputFile() function to set the default filename and path for the generated file. Using this user will not be prompted to browse through folder and give the filename for the generated file.

"IWPageGeneration.setOutputFile()" cannot be used for teamsite6.1:-(

Well, the obvious response to that is: upgrade.

The next obvious response is: Disable the Generate option from the DCT and menus and drive page generation through workflow scripts and/or custom menu items that utilize the path/name of the DCR and/or contents within the DCR to programmatically generate the output file in the correct location.

Note the second option above is generally better even if you do upgrade, because (as I believe was pointed out) the FormAPI code only works when the DCR is in Edit mode - if it's in View mode, it doesn't execute and you'll again end up with issues of where the output file is generated (and what its named, etc.)

In addition, the above assumes a 1:1 correspondence between the sub-directories of the data/ directory and the naming of the DCR - to the sub-directories of the root of the workarea and the name of the output file (file extension being the only aspect which should change)
