Generation content is the set of parameters for a Web page (for example a section page): its name, template, instructions for including content, variables and the naming rule for the page's URL.
The Execute button is used to generate Web content. Do not use this function until you have configured the required generation sets, generation objects and generation content.
Select a generation object for this content.
Enter the name of the Web pages to be generated.
Enter the unique string (no spaces) that will be used to identify the generated content in the code. This must be a unique string that has not be used for any other generation content.
Enter the path to the template to be used to generate the content.
Enter the content type to be used in the page or page segment, and the applicable site. For example: class="article" of="site" means articles that have been created for each site will be generated as article pages. The number of articles and the dates are controlled by instructions within the templates themselves.
Enter the site ID, using the syntax site=[siteid].
To know the ID of your site, select Manage>Site sections, select a section, click Referencing and check the site number in the path under Default (Friendly URL).
You could also configure a generation for generating all sites at once by defining a loop command in the Context field.
To check the site ID for a site, select Advanced Searches>Editorial and open the Web Site list. The ID for each site is displayed along with the respective site names.
Enter the naming syntax for the generated file. For example, suppose you want to generate article 39, entitled Beckham visits Africa. The naming rule article/{$article.id}_{$article.title|url}) would generate the name /article/39_Beckam_visits_Africa.html.
Select Save or Check-in (according to your selected lock mode) to save your generation object.
