As of SDL Tridion 2011, Custom Pages have a new XML format. If you are upgrading from SDL Tridion 2009 SP1, use the Custom Page Converter tool to convert your existing Custom Page XML files to new ones. You may also need to update the title of the default Custom Page.
Procedure
- If you are upgrading from SDL Tridion 2011 SP1, you can skip this topic.
- Alternatively, if you are upgrading from SDL Tridion 2009 SP1, open a command prompt, access the
Content Manager\Additional Tools\Upgrade Support folder of the SDL Tridion installation media and run CustomPagesConverter.exe using the following command (without parameters):
- If you run the converter without parameters, it will try to use the registry key \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tridion\Content Manager Web Site\InstallDirWebSite to locate the source and destination Custom Page XML files:
- If, for some reason, the registry key cannot be found, you can also run the converter and specify the two mandatory parameters (the old and new Custom Pages files) yourself by typing the following (if you installed the Content Manager in the default folder):
CustomPagesConverter.exe "C:\Program Files (x86)\Tridion\web\Library\XML\CustomPages.xml"
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Tridion\web\WebUI\Editors\CME\Preferences\CustomPages.xml"
You can run also the following command to show the available options for the converter:
CustomPagesConverter.exe /?
- Access the Content Manager Explorer Web site.
- In the Shortcuts navigation pane, select thye Custom Pages node.
You see the Custom Pages in your system, including one named SDL Tridion 2009 SP1.
- Select that Custom Page and in the Home Ribbon tab, select Properties.
The Properties dialog for this Custom Page opens.
- Change the Name field to SDL Tridion 2013 and click Save and Close.
Your default Custom Page is now up to date.
