2.1 Before Using Dynamic Converter
Before you begin using Dynamic Converter to design templates for your content items, the following must be in place:
■
Content items checked into the Content Server. See the Content Server User Guide for information on how to check in content.
■
Dynamic Converter templates checked into the Content Server with the correct template type. See
Chapter 4, Conversion Templates for more information.
■
Template selection rules added, with associated metadata and templates. See Chapter 3, Template Rules
for more information.
■
Conversion formats and other pertinent information specified on the Dynamic Converter Configuration page. See
Dynamic Converter Configuration Page on
page A-2 for more information.
2.2 Setting the Default Template
A default template is applied to content items that do not match your defined template criteria. To change the default template associated with your content items, complete
the following steps:
1.
Open the Dynamic Converter Admin page see Dynamic Converter Admin Page
on page A-1.
2. Click Configuration Settings.
The Dynamic Converter Configuration Page is displayed see Dynamic Converter
Admin Page on page A-1.
3. In the Template text box, under the Default Template heading, enter the content
ID for a template. You can select the type of template from the Template Types
2-2 Administrators Guide for Dynamic Converter
menu and then choose your desired template from the Available Templates menu.
4. In the Layout text box, under the Default Layout heading, enter the content ID for
a layout template. You can also choose your desired layout template from the Available Layouts
menu. Layouts only apply for the Classic HTML Conversion templates.
5. Click Update at the bottom of the Dynamic Converter Configuration page to
enable your default templates. In earlier versions of Dynamic Converter, the following error message appeared when
a content item did not match any template criteria and a default template such as plain.hcst was not specified:
Content Server Request Failed. Could not convert the content to html. The default conversion template has not been set.
This is no longer the case. A blank template is automatically assigned to content items that do not match any of your template criteria. You can override this template with
your own default template by following the above steps.
