Templates

Use this property page to configure the template settings for the GroupWise® WebPublisher Application. When the WebPublisher Application receives information from a service provider, it merges the information into a template type that is supported by the user's browser. This can be the predefined template (frame-based HTML) or a template you've created.

Template Path
Select the location of the template base directory. The template base directory contains the subdirectory (FRAMES) for the templates provided with GroupWise WebPublisher. If you create your own templates, you need to place the templates in a new subdirectory in the template base directory.

On a Linux* server with Tomcat, the default installation directory is /opt/novell/groupwise/webacc/tomcat_dir/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/com/novell/webpublisher/templates.

Java Package
Specify the Java* package that contains the template resources used by the WebPublisher Application. The default package is com.novell.webpublisher.templates.

Images URL
Specify the URL for GroupWise WebPublisher image files. This URL must be relative to the Web server's document root directory. The default relative URL is /com/novell/webpublisher/images.

Applets URL
GroupWise WebPublisher does not include any applets. If you create GroupWise WebPublisher applets, you need to specify the URL for the applets. To mirror the storage location of the GroupWise WebAccess applets, you can store the applets in a com\novell\webpublisher\applets directory under the Web server's document root directory. The applets URL is then relative to the Web server's document root directory (for example, /com/novell/webpublisher/applets).

Help URL
Specify the URL for the GroupWise WebPublisher Help files. This URL must be relative to the Web server's document root directory. The default relative URL is /com/novell/webpublisher/help.

Caching
To speed up access to the template files, the WebPublisher Application can cache the files to the server's memory.

Enable Template Caching
Select this option to turn on template caching.

Cache Size
Select the maximum amount of memory, in kilobytes, you want to use when caching the templates. The default cache size, 100 KB, is sufficient to cache all templates shipped with GroupWise WebPublisher. If you modify or add templates, you can turn on Verbose logging (Application tab > Log Settings page) to view the size of the template files. Using this information, you can then change the cache size appropriately.

User Interface
The WebPublisher Application uses the following settings to ensure that it displays the correct user interface for GroupWise WebPublisher.

Default Language
If you have more than one language installed, select the language to use when displaying the initial GroupWise WebPublisher page. If users want the GroupWise WebPublisher interface displayed in a different language, they can change it on that page.

Define User Interfaces
GroupWise WebPublisher can support Web browsers on many different devices (for example, computers and wireless telephones). Each device supports specific content types such as HTML, HDML, and WML. When returning information to a device's Web browser, the WebPublisher Application must merge the information into a set of templates to create an interface that supports the content type required by the Web browser.

GroupWise WebPublisher ships with one predefined user interface (Standard HTML) that uses frame-based templates. Click the User Interface button to view, add, modify, or delete user interfaces.
