Configuring link resolving for templateless, data-only publishing

With the templateless, data-only publishing model, you can configure recursion depth for resolving linked Components.

About this task

The Link Resolver Recursion Depth option enables you to set a system-wide recursion depth for resolving linked content items whenever you publish a Page, Component, Multimedia Component or Structure Group.

Procedure

  1. In Content Manager Explorer, select Administration > Link Resolver Settings.
  2. On the Link Resolver Settings window, enter a value for the Link Resolver Recursion Depth.
    Values for recursion depth can be the following:
    ValueDescription
    -1All linked Components are resolved, no matter how deep. The Publisher service continues recursion of linked Components until it reaches the end and there are no more.
    0No linked Components are resolved. This is the default setting.
    Any positive valueA specific number of levels of linked Components are resolved.

    For example, consider the following:

    C0 » C1 » C2 » C3 » C4 » … » Cn

    where:

    • C0 is the Component that you request to publish
    • C1 is a Component Link defined on C0
    • C2 is a Component Link defined on C1
    • and so on for however deeply the linking continues

    If you leave the default setting of 0, the Publisher service will resolve no Component Links. If you set it to 2, that would resolve C0, C1, and C2. A recursion depth of -1 would resolve all Component links.

  3. Click Save and then Close.

Results

The recursion depth that you defined is saved and will be used for the next publish action.
