Customizing application templates

Customize applications templates by copying a templates directory, customizing the presentation templates and editing your collection configuration to point to your custom templates.

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the LiveContent S1000D home directory
  2. Copy the subfolder templates/FullSupport/etc/ to the LiveContent S1000D data directory
  3. In the new location, modify one or more of the presentation templates to fit your collection's specific needs.
  4. Navigate to your collection directory.
  5. Open wietmsd.xml for editing.
  6. If you have modified presentation templates for XSL styles, skins or menus, find the configitem element with its name attribute set to app.docs_root and set the value of its <value> child element to the path to the templates/etc subdirectory of the LiveContent S1000D home directory.
  7. If you have modified presentation templates for HTTP docs, find the configitem element with its name attribute set to app.httpd_root and set the value of its <value> child element to the path to the templates/FullSupport/httpdocs subdirectory of LiveContent S1000D home directory.
  8. Save and close wietmsd.xml.
