generating DCR to a specified directory

Hi All

I am unable to specify a required output directory while generating a DCR.My files are stored under htdocs/sars directory in the workarea.My requirement is while saving the generated page the file dialog window should automatically root to sars,instead of htdocs.

I tried the <directory dir-regex="/htdocs/sars" /> within the <locations> tag in templating.cfg file but for some reason it's not working.

please help me.

Thanks in advance

I believe the dir-regex will only valid the path specified to where you save your generated file.
I dont think it provides a docroot for you as a regex can mean many things.
It would be a good idea though..... feature request guys?? Smiley Happy

You can use FormAPI. Here we let the user select the directory from a drop-down list. Then we take a field in the DCR such as title and remove the special characters, substring, etc. to create the file name which is then set as the DCR name. It's a bit of code. But if you don't want to go that far, you could add a form handler on the onSaveNameSpecified event that validates the name against a regex, throws an alert and returns false if it doesn't match (which would disallow save).

I have attached some code for defaulting DCR name/directory based on selections/values in the DCR. There is some sample code for validating a filename at http://devnet.interwoven.com/forums/cgi-bin/showflat.pl?Cat=&Board=PRODUCTS_TEMPLATING&Number=5715&page=&view=&sb=&o=&vc=1
