Adding a concept scheme to your Tridion Taxonomy Connector configuration

Over time, you may wish to add further concept schemes to your Tridion Taxonomy Connector configuration.

About this task

This task imagines an existing configuration with a concept scheme called Ingredients, being extended to also include a concept scheme called Cocktails.

Procedure

  1. Create a new Content Manager Category to represent the concept scheme you intend to. In our example, the Category is called Cocktails.
  2. In the namespaces section of the Tridion Taxonomy Connector configuration JSON file, add a section for the new concept scheme. In our example, this is what the namespaces section looks like after adding the Ingredients concept scheme:
    "namespaces": {
      "ppingredients": {
        "displayName": "Ingredients",
        "configuration": {
          "conceptSchemeUri": "http://e-learning.poolparty.biz/cocktails/eff672ac-6601-42c6-a3e9-0adda3b45df8"
        },
        "stubCategories": ["/webdav/100 Master/Ingredients" ],
        "useFeature": "Taxonomy"
      },
      "ppcocktails": {
        "displayName": "Cocktails",
        "configuration": {
          "conceptSchemeUri": "http://e-learning.poolparty.biz/cocktails/8d052dfc-44bf-4985-8ce3-4564570a161b"
        },
        "stubCategories": ["/webdav/100 Master/Cocktails" ],
        "useFeature": "Taxonomy"
      }
    }
  3. Users who have Content Manager Explorer open need to refresh or reload the GUI to see the Cocktails Category.
  4. Restart your Content Deployer microservice in order to load the changes made to the configuration.

Results

You have added a concept scheme to your Tridion Taxonomy Connector configuration and applied the new configuration on both the Content Manager side and the Content Delivery side. Users can now publish items that use the Cocktails Category.
