the source presentation template does not have a configured filename extension

I'm sure I've seen this issue before but I can't recall how to get around it.

When trying to regenerate a file from the command line using iwregen I get the message:

"the source presentation template does not have a configured filename extension"

Generating from the UI is fine.

templating.cfg has the following entry for my type:


<data-type name="**** " dcr-type="xml">
    <presentation>
      <template name="****.tpl" extension="html">
        <locations>
   <branch vpath-regex=".*" preview-dir="/">
     <directory dir-regex=".*"/>
   </branch>
        </locations>
      </template>
    </presentation>
    <viewoptions actionlist="save;generate"/>
     </data-type>

I am using TS 6.5 SP2 on Solaris.

Thanks.
Darren.

What is the full command line you are using to try to generate the file?

If the specified output name does not end with ".html" - it won't work using iwgen (according to the above templating.cfg excerpt)

I am just running:

/path/to/iw-home/bin/iwregen file.html

When in the path where the file resides.
Also tried with a full vpath with the same result.

Thanks.

Ah - iwregen - I was thinking iwgen.
What do you see when you run: /path/to/iw-home/bin/iwextattr file.html

Obviously I've had to make a few changes to the information below for confidentiality reasons:

TeamSite/Templating/Encoding=
TeamSite/Templating/PrimaryDCR=folder/index
TeamSite/Templating/PrimaryDocumentType=category/type
TeamSite/Templating/PrimaryPT=presentation.tpl

That looks like all that should be required no?

Thanks.

That all looks good, since you changed stuff around, it is hard to tell.

Do the fields on the EAs match the entry in templating.cfg ?

Can you generate a new HTML from the same DCR and compare the EAs ?

Take a look at this Article.

Thanks for that, I'm not on Windows however and I am not using any flags or quotes in my command line.

I guess my workaround will probably be to use iwpt_compile.ipl for now, but it would be good to get the bottom of this.

Yeah, I knew it's an old article. (Haven't noticed it's wrong OS, too) Your problem manifestation was a carbon copy of what has been described there though
so I decided it may be useful in giving some clues.

Right now it *looks* like IWOV problem caused by some (iwregen used) EA Format inconsistency

dazzlad

Yep, As I say I have seen this before and can't remember for the life of me how I fixed it.

I think it's something really silly like the order of the XML nodes in templating.cfg

Thanks
