Enabling processing of UGC tags by the Content Delivery Web services

To enable your two Content Delivery Web services to process UGC TCDL tags at runtime, you need to add a tag bundle to your dynamic configuration file (cd_dynamic_conf.xml).

About this task

The default Template Building Blocks for UGC create TCDL tags. These tags are handled differently depending on the Target Language setting in the Publication Target:

  • if the Target Language is set to JSP or ASP.NET, the UGC tags are transformed into JSP or ASP.NET code during publishing that require no further processing.
  • if the Target Language is set to REL, the UGC tags are published as is (TDCL) to the Web site that require processing at request time.

Procedure

  1. Access the following directory where one of your Content Delivery Web services is running:
    • the WEB-INF/classes/ directory in a JSP Web application.
    • the bin\config\ subfolder in a .NET Web application.
  2. Open the file cd_dynamic_conf.xml in a plain-text or XML editor.
  3. In the <TCDLEngine> section, insert the following element just before the end tag:
    <TagBundle Resource="ugc_renderer_bundle.xml"/>
  4. Save and close cd_dynamic_conf.xml.
  5. Repeat the steps above for your second Web service Web application.

Results

You have enabled the processing and rendering of UGC TCDL tags at request time.
