[opencms-dev] Question about static publishing

[Nimret Sandhu]

Hi Kai,

Thanks for your response.

The specific use case for folders was an illustration of the problem I am facing. Ideally, we want to maintain one directory structure within OpenCMS ( which makes more sense for our editorial team) and then have it publish to another directory structure ( which makes more sense for deployment), updating all the links within the content appropriately.

Cheers,
Nimret

Hi Nimret,
have you tried setting the property "exportname" of the folder "bar" to "/foo/"?
This should remove "bar" (and all other parent folders including "/sites/default/") from all statically exported resources in folder "bar" and set "foo" as new root folder.

Betreff: [opencms-dev] Question about static publishing

Hi Folks,

I have a question about static publishing.
We currently have a folder structure like this in OpenCMS:

/sites/default
		/foo
			/bar
				/file1.html
				/file2.html
				/file3.html

We're using on-demand static publishing via a custom publishing mechanism ( via the handle404 servlet, which I have yet to understand fully and will be the topic of another email :). So the real file system contains the above structure after publishing.

However, we would like to set it up so that the publishing process removes the '/bar' folder and we end up with the following on the real file system:
..../foo/file1.html
..../foo/file2.html
..../foo/file3.html

The internal url links within the html files will also need to be updated to reflect the removal of the '/bar' folder.

Is this something that can be easily done in OpenCMS, ideally with minimal customizations? 

If so, what level of control does it allow? ie can we only remove existing folders or completely control the output folder structure and update the links in the content appropriately?

Thanks!
