Auto select DCR for locale while creating page in LiveSite

We have page template which has DCR content. While creating pages specific to a locale, we need the DCR path to be pointed to the correct locale automatically. Can anyone suggest a method to achieve this?

Hi Akanksha,

Please post your code for the same for better understanding of how you implemented in the component.

Hi Ace,

We have a livesite component in which the data is of DCR Type and is specified in the datum section.

The component displays the dcr content according to the xsl stylesheet.
For eg the dcr path is given as /templatedata/content/GenericData/dcrname in the datum.
for chinese it should be /templatedata/content/GenericData/zh/dcrname.

Irrespective of whether the page is created in english site or the localized site sitename_zh,the component datum always points to english dcr unless changed manually. Is there a way to automatically populate the chinese dcr path in component datum while creating a page in chinese site.

Thanks,
Akansha

Hi Akanksha,
Is it possible for you to provide the code snippet of your component? As far as I believe Iin your case you are maintaining 2 different branches of each site. Am I correct?

Hi Ace

The datum the component is:

templatedata/cm/Content/data/DCR_Name

This is just a livesite static component which doesnt have any java code. It just displays the dcr content.

The folder structure of site is

sites
->sitename
->sitename_zh
->sitename_ja

All of these is in same branch

Hi Akansha,

As per the component and templatedata structure design, I would recommend you to change the component a bit something like

<DCR Category="cm" Type="content">templatedata</DCR>

This way Datum shall be pointing to templatedata folder and from there you can select DCR either main or localized site.

Let me know if above mentioned approach fulfills your requirement.
