Cross Branch use of css, images, etc

Paul

We're using TeamSite 6.7.2 sp1 SitePublisher and LiveSite. We have a model that has numerous sub branches set up under the main branch. We have build an administration branch in which we are hoping to place our common elements such as CSS and images. This is new territory for us and we're trying to get it right.

We have our assets in:

//WIWVSG154/default/main/TopBranch/administration/WORKAREA/content/assets/css

and the page we want to use this on is in:
//WIWVSG154/default/main/TopBranch/custom/client1/WORKAREA/content/sites/client/programs/index.page

any idea what the path would look like in the page settings of index.page?

Hi Paul,

I never tried this one. but i did some research and i have come up with solution.
You can't cross reference branch in Page Settings. Because of ceiling dir setting.

Instead what you can do means you can add the following entry in iw.cfg under the section of

[iwproxy_preconnect_remap]

_regex=(^/iw-mount/default/main/TopBranch)/custom/client1/WORKAREA/content/css/(.*)=$1/administration/WORKAREA/content/assets/css/$2

So proxy will basically take the administration branch css instead of local css.

I hope it would solve your problem.

Thanks
