If you are using the publishing framework that was deprecated in SDL Web 8, enable publishing content to a staging site for your users by showing and filling in the Session Preview tab in a Publication Target.
Procedure
- Access Content Manager Explorer.
- If you have not already done so, create a Publication Target that publishes to your staging website.
- In the General tab of your Publication Target, select Enable for inline editing.
A new Session Preview tab appears.
- On the new Session Preview tab, set Content Delivery Endpoint URL to the URL of the Preview service end point. This URL is one of the following:
- For a JSP website, add the string BASEURL/cd_preview_webservice/preview.svc/. If you have a
servlet-mapping defined in your web.xml, then insert the path of the servlet mapping after cd_preview_webservice/. For example, if your servlet mapping maps the web service to a subdirectory ws/, add the string <baseURL>/cd_preview_webservice/ws/preview.svc/.
- For a .NET website, add the string BASEURL/preview.svc/.
where BASEURL is the base URL (host name and port) of the machine on which you set up your Content Delivery Preview Service, for example, http://localhost:8080/.
- Use the Add button under Web site URLs to create a list of one or more URLs that represent the staging website, such as http://localhost:82 or http://myserver.mydomain:83/.
