Setting Up a Content Manager Output Format for Legacy Content Delivery

For your users to be able to publish from Content Manager to Legacy Content Delivery , you must first set up a Content Manager output format, and then create an instance of the format in Publication Manager.

Before you begin

Consider these requirements and suggestions:

  • In Content Manager, you must have Administrator access to the Content Manager Web Client.
  • In Legacy Content Delivery , you must create a user that belongs to a group that has the Manage Pubs permission.
  • In Legacy Content Delivery , you should have added any customized skin to Legacy Content Delivery before you begin this procedure. If you do not, the default skin is base.
  • You do not need to have a publication nor a language version set up in Legacy Content Delivery ; the publish process creates them for you.

Procedure

  1. Log on to the Content Manager Web Client as an user with administration rights, for example, Administrator.
  2. On the Settings tab, select Output Formats.
  3. Select New.
  4. In the Output Format Properties dialog box, set the following (all the other settings are left as they are):
    1. For Output Format, type Content Delivery.
      This is the name that users will see in Publication Manager when they publish.
    2. For Resolutions, type a comma-space delimited list of the resolutions of graphics that you want to appear in Legacy Content Delivery publications.
      For example Low, High.
    3. Under EDT of the output, select ZIP.
    4. Uncheck Single file.
    5. For Style processor, select Content Delivery.
    6. In the SDL Tridion Docs Content Delivery section, under URL of the server, type the URL and port number for the Legacy Content Delivery server.
      The URL must include http:// or https:// and the port number for Legacy Content Delivery if it doesn't use the default port. Omit a final forward slash at the end of the URL.
      For example, http://delivery.lc.example.com/CollaborativeReview (where lc refers to an example related to output, and delivery specifies it further as a delivery server)
    7. Same section, under User name, type the user in Legacy Content Delivery through whom the publication is handled. This user must belong to a group that has the Manage Publication permission in Legacy Content Delivery .
    8. Same section, under Password, type the password corresponding to the user name you specified in the previous step.
    9. In the Advanced section, make sure all the boxes are checked.
    10. Select OK.
  5. On the Content Manager server computer, restart IIS.
  6. Log in to Publication Manager as a user with administrative permissions, for example, Administrator.
  7. Open your publication.
  8. In the Output tab, select New.
  9. In dialog box that opens, select the Legacy Content Delivery output format (named Content Delivery by default), then Next.
  10. In the Add Publication Output dialog box, select a Language combination (mandatory) and Fallback languages (optional).
  11. Select OK.
