The Publication Resources

The publication resources are files that define the underlying structure of a publication.

There are four publication-specific resources:

content-type

An XML file that defines the types of content items present in a publication.

layout

A legacy XML file that is required to be present but never needs to be edited.

layout-group

An XML file that defines the logical structure of the section pages in a publication.

feature

A plain text file containing property settings that govern the behavior of the CUE Content Store when handling a publication. This resource is optional: you only need to supply it if you want to change the default behavior of the Content Store in some way.

The publication-specific resources are stored in the following location in a publication WAR file or folder tree:

META-INF/escenic/publication-resources/escenic

Publications also have access to a set of shared publication resources:

story element types

XML files defining the block level elements of which stories are composed – elements such as headline, lead text, paragraph, image, pull quote and so on. Each file contains the definition of one story element type.

storyline templates

XML files defining sets of story element types from which stories may be composed. A story is based on a storyline template, which determines what story element types it may contain.

All these publication resources are fully described in the CUE Content Store Resource Reference.
