SETTING OUTPUT FILES PATH IN TEMPLATING.CFG

Hi all,
I have got the following code in the templating.cfg. and I would like to know , how can i set the path for a tpl file, so that everytime a new output HTML file is created, it is automatically saved at a particular location.
The code in the templating.cfg is as under :

<data-type name="NavigationPage" dcr-type="iwov">
<presentation>
<template name="NavigationPage.tpl" extension="html">
<locations>
<branch vpath-regex=".*" preview-dir="/">
<directory dir-regex="documents/CM_Templates/NavigationPage" />
</branch>
</locations>
</template>
</presentation>
</data-type>

By using this line ; <directory dir-regex="documents/ab/cd" />, I have set the validated output file to a particular location, and now it noly allows the user to save the output file here. But what I need exactly is that it shud save the DCR to a particualar location. How can I set this in the templating.cfg

Dont think you can. You can only say where it is allowed to be saved.

Hi,

If you want to restrict the location of the output file, you can do this by: [copied the snippet from earlier post]

----
<branch vpath-regex=".*" preview-dir="/">
<directory dir-regex="documents/CM_Templates/NavigationPage" />
</branch>
-----

This tells the FormsPublisher to allow the user to save the output file in only in documents/CM_Templates/NavigationPage/ but no where else. However, this does not mean that outputfile name is also specified automatically. User will still have to supply the output file name.

It'd be nice if there is a FormAPI event for 'onGenerate'. I'd think these sorts of things can be easily done with that.

That is kind of strange!

Do you see any errors in log file? Which release you are on?

I can take a quick look at your templating.cfg to see if there is anything obviously wrong, if you can post it (if possible, I guess). Otherwise, the best course of action is to contact support.

Hi,

This might or might not be the cause of the current problem that you are getting, but when I ran iw-home/bin/iwxml_validate.ipl on your templating.cfg, I get the following errors. [Ofcourse, I uncommented out the DOCTYPE declaration that points to templating4.5.dtd]
------------
undefined attribute [dcr_type] Element data-type line 195 column 1 byte 5539
undefined attribute [dcr_type] Element data-type line 197 column 1 byte 5602

undefined attribute [dcr_type] Element data-type line 205 column 8 byte 5887
ERROR: templating.cfg was not a valid XML file
------------
First you might want to correct these errors.

Second, try moving the definition of the template "pr1.tpl" to last in the list. (right now it is the first). I remember seeing a similar bug long time ago. If this doesn't help, then please contact support.
