Yet Another Tridion Blog

This TBB Generates an XML containing all Structure Groups and Pages whose title abides to a naming convention, in hierarchical structure. The naming convention is given by regular expression (e.g. title starts with 3 digits followed by underscore or space). This TBB is available on my Google Code project yet-another-tridion-blog / Template Repository  (file / PT / Navigation / GenerateStructureGroupNavigationRecursive.cs ). Description Name Generate Structure Group Navigation Reorder TBB Type ·     Template in .NET Assembly Description Used to: ·    Generate navigation XML; Notes: This TBB reads the Publication's Root Structure Group and retrieves all child SGs and Pages using the .GetListItems() method in a recursive way. The template retrieves the SG/Pages directly under the given SG and it then iterates each node, invoking a recursive step for each SG it encounters, thus ensuring the entire hierarchical structure is visited. Each SG object is repres

Each SG object is represented as a  tcm:Item  node that has potential sub-nodes (other SGs and Pages). The Page objects a

This post explains the steps to install RSTL on your Tridion presentation server. For more information about RSTL, check out my post  REL Standard Tag Library . To download RSTL go to my Google Code page . Always use the  latest JAR . Prerequisites Although installation itself is very simple, there are some prerequisites: Install and configure a Content Delivery server. This can be either a Java or .NET. If CD API is used, make sure you call the PageContentAssembler to assemble Pages and ComponentPresentationAssembler to assemble Component Presentations. This ensures the REL tags are executed; If CD Web Service (OData) is used, make sure all content is published to the CD DB; Create and configure a Deployer that publishes the content and/or metadata to the CD DB: For CD API, content does not have to be in the CD DB, but in order to execute REL tags it should be; for OData, all content and metadata should be in the CD DB; Create and configure a Publication Target th

The RSTL is a library of REL tags providing standard functionality such as iterating collections, conditionals, imports, assignments, XML XSLT transformations, formatting dates, etc. RSTL distributable is available on my Google Code page under  REL Standard Tag Library . Always use the latest JAR . This post describes each RSTL tag in the library explaining its functionality, attributes and providing examples. For understanding the way expressions are evaluated, please read my post about the  Expression Language used by REL Standard Tag Library . <c:choose> / <c:when> / <c:otherwise> Syntax:     <c:choose>         <c:when test="expr1">             Do something         </c:when>         <c:when test="expr2">             Do something else         </c:when>         <c:otherwise>             Do something otherwise         </c:otherwise>     </c:choose> Att
