The list of publications
To examine the publications Hyper.Net has created:
| |
|
|
|
Step
|
|
1
|
Click on any publication in the Publishing Center.
|
|
2
|
After the selected publication has opened in your browser, go to the browser's address bar. Highlight and delete the last three components of the URL and press ENTER. This opens the SharePoint folder containing the list of Hyper.Net publications. Here's an example:
http://hnsharepoint/Lists/Publications/240bc1a2/68319610aa774b8d0025772700634c5d/topic.aspx

|

Note
|
The last component is the name of the aspx used to present the selected Topic. In Hyper.Net's sample WCMS application, topic.aspx is a dummy page used to generate the HTML corresponding to the selected Topic. The long component before that is a topic ID, which is the selected Topic from the application's point of view. The short one before that is the publication ID.
Within Hyper.Net's sample WCMS application, when a publication is selected for viewing, the "first" Topic within the publication is opened automatically. This is usually the Topic where PUB_START=TRUE.

Your list of publications should look something like this:
What's important to remember here is that the publication title acts as the display title for the publication. The standard SharePoint name for the folder is the publication ID.

Note
|
The paradigm of publication ID and topic ID is an important one. In systems where large numbers of documents are converted and published, it's important to have unique, predictable ID to support concrete hyperlinking between publications and topics. Once a publication has been created, Hyper.Net reuses the same IDs when updating the publication when the source document is revised in SharePoint, thus ensuring hyperlink integrity even when multiple publications have the same name.
