66462614 Jan 20195.9700-beta-8

Reorganized: the folder / file structure, state, publish scripts and custom config files.

These are automatically moved to the following locations when PageSeeder starts:

webapp/WEB-INF/config/template/[project]/
      [lowercase_names**]
webapp/WEB-INF/state/cache
webapp/WEB-INF/state/index
webapp/WEB-INF/state/logs
webapp/WEB-INF/state/publish/working
webapp/WEB-INF/state/publish/session
  • **All top-level folders under template/[project] will be renamed to lowercase (i.e. config, index, label, layout, member, notification, publish).
  • Publish script files will be merged into the corresponding template/[project] folder using their existing folder structure.
  • The woconfig files will be moved to the template folder as follows:
woconfig/[project]/psml/[type]/* -->
config/template/[project]/psml/[type]/style/*
woconfig/[project]/organization/* -->
config/template/[project]/organization/style/*

All these files will remain accessible via /ps/woconfig using the path under template but removing the style folder. For example: 

/ps/woconfig/myproject/psml/
         mytype/document.css

If PageSeeder fails to start on Linux after upgrade enter the following commands and then restart pageseeder:

chown -R pageseeder /opt/pageseeder/webapp
chown -R pageseeder /opt/pageseeder/ps-publisher

Manually move any other woconfig files, such as shared CSS or images, to the following folder and adjust any URLs that reference them:

config/template/[project]/style

After upgrading, check the Recent logs on the Admin Console page for warnings about renamed files. Naming clashes are possible when merging publish scripts with config files. Pay specific attention to the following:

  • Update .custom index XSLT files to correctly reference the default XSLT.
  • Update any apps or deploy scripts that upload config files to use the new locations.
  • Rename to lower case all top level template folders in code repositories. On Windows, this can be done by adding a suffix and committing, then renaming to lowercase and committing (e.g. Publish -> Publish2 -> publish).
6420777 Jan 20195.9700-beta-8

Added: <publication> to PSML under <documentinfo> on the root document of a publication.

For root documents, uploading can also be done using publication id/type:

<publication id="mypub" type="mytype" />

On Upload, an existing publication id/type will only be overwritten if the “overwrite metadata and document properties” option is selected under the Developer options menu in the Developer perspective.

6652894 Jan 20195.9700-beta-6
