Publishing non-standard technology Web site content
If you want to publish to a Web site that is not a JSP or ASP.NET Web site, but PHP, for example, transform your TCDL tags at request time rather than at publish time, and implement a transformation from TCDL to your target language at request time.
Procedure
- Create a Java class that transforms all TCDL tags (both built-in tags and your own custom tags) into the language of your Web site.
- If you created any custom TCDL tags (which must take the form of a Java class that extends com.tridion.tcdl.TagRenderer), add their tag definitions to the Storage Layer configuration file, cd_storage_conf.xml.
- Open Content Manager Explorer.
- Open each Component Template that renders content intended for Web service consumption, and set its Output Format property the values REL. REL stands for Render Engine Language.
- In the same Component Template, set the Component Presentations based on this Component Template will be to the value Published as a Dynamic Component.
- Save and close the Component Template.
- Repeat the process for each Component Template.
- Open each of the Publication Targets to which you publish your rendered content, and set its Target Language property to REL.
- Save and close the Publication Target.
- Repeat the process for each Publication Target.
