How to create and deploy pre-defined contents in WCM
1 Create contents
- Open /portal/WEB-INF/conf/configuration.xml, and replace this one
<import>war:/conf/wcm/publication-configuration.xml</import>
by this one
//<import>war:/conf/wcm/publication-configuration.xml</import>
- Run WCM with a clean database
- Go to Site explorer and choose any drive but we recommend you should go to Sites management drive.
- Click on Add content and choose Free layout web content as template.
- Input your HTML, CSS and Javascript data then Save
- Switch to System tab, click on Export node
- Click Export to export content, and you will have an XML file.
- Do these steps again and again to export all contents you want.
- Open /portal/WEB-INF/conf/configuration.xml, and replace this one
//<import>war:/conf/wcm/publication-configuration.xml</import>
by this one
<import>war:/conf/wcm/publication-configuration.xml</import>
2 Deploy contents
- You can setup for the deployment like this
<external-component-plugins>
<target-component>org.exoplatform.services.wcm.deployment.WCMContentInitializerService</target-component>
<component-plugin>
<name>Content Initializer Service</name>
<set-method>addPlugin</set-method>
<type>org.exoplatform.services.wcm.deployment.plugins.XMLDeploymentPlugin</type>
<description>XML Deployment Plugin</description>
<init-params>
<object-param>
<name>ACME Logo data</name>
<description>Deployment Descriptor</description>
<object type="org.exoplatform.services.deployment.DeploymentDescriptor">
<field name="target">
<object type="org.exoplatform.services.deployment.DeploymentDescriptor$Target">
<field name="repository"><string>repository</string></field>
<field name="workspace"><string>collaboration</string></field>
<field name="nodePath"><string>/sites content/live/acme/web contents/site artifacts</string></field>
</object>
</field>
<field name="sourcePath"><string>war:/conf/wcm/artifacts/site-resources/acme/Logo.xml</string></field>
</object>
</object-param>
<object-param>

<field name="repository"><string>repository</string></field>
<field name="workspace"><string>collaboration</string></field>
<field name="nodePath"><string>/sites content/live/acme/web contents/site artifacts</string></field>
</object>
</field>
<field name="sourcePath"><string>war:/conf/wcm/artifacts/site-resources/acme/Signin.xml</string></field>

</init-params>
</component-plugin>

- object-param/name: the name of the content will be deployed (unique)
- object-param/description: anything
- object/field repository: the current repository name
- object/field workspace: the current workspace name
- object/field nodePath: the folder which content will be deployed inside
