Version Settings

The version settings include the name extensions the exported files are allowed to have as well as the editors available for editing the main content of the draft version.

There are two possibilities to open the form in which these settings can be modified: If you are about to create a file format, click on the Edit and Export button in the Additional Options area in the corresponding form. However, if you would like to edit the Edit and Export options in an existing file format, find the file format first in the File Formats section using the search function. Then click on the name of the file format in the corresponding list entry to switch to the view page of the file format. Here, click on the Edit button to switch to the edit form for file formats. In the Additional Options area of the form, click on the Edit and Export button to open the corresponding form.

Valid File Extensions

In the Valid File Extensions list, you can select the name extensions that output files are allowed to have when they are created during export. At the same time, the name extensions you selected determine the permitted name extensions of the files that can be uploaded as a main content.

If you create a new file format, the file name extensions that are preset as valid for the file type you have selected are displayed in this form. If you create a file format and after confirming your entry for the valid file name extensions you select a different file type, the Content Management Server will not allow you to create the file format.

In the standard installation, the common file name extensions are predefined. System administrators can configure the file name extensions available using the mimeTypes entry in the content section of the system configuration.

To set the valid file name extension of the file format, select the desired extensions in the Unselected File Name Extensions list and click on the arrow pointing to the right. The selected file name extensions are moved to the Selected File Name Extensions list. If you would like to remove extensions from the list, mark them and click on the arrow pointing to the left to move them back to the Unselected File Name Extensions list.

If you do not specify any name extensions, all extensions which the file type supports are valid when a file is imported. For example, the image file type supports the name extensions gif, png, jpg and jpeg.

Available Editors

Several main content editors are available in the Content Navigator: an Internal Editor, a Local Application, an HTML Editor and TinyMCE. Which main content editor can be selected in the file format definition depends on the file type of the file format. The main content of a draft version of types Folder, Document or Layout, can be edited using all the available editors. Files of the Image type can only be edited using a local application. Local applications and the internal editor are available for Ressources.

Available Editors

You can offer the editorial employees five editors in any combination for files with this format. Please note that binary data can only be edited using a local application. The editors are:

• Internal Editor
  The internal editor is a multi-line input field with which you can edit the HTML text of the main content.
• HTML Editor
  Select this editor to start the optionally integrated HTML editor from the Content Navigator. This editor is a Java applet to edit the main content in HTML text mode or WYSIWYG mode.
• TinyMCE (CMS Fiona 6.8.0 and later)
  A JavaScript-based WYSIWYG editor for the main content.
• Local Application
  This editor is a Java applet which gives the user the possibility to edit the main content using any application installed on the local computer. Each user can set the path to the local application to be used for each file name extension in his or her personal preferences. If the editor is selected from the Content Navigator, the Java applet starts and opens the application associated with the file name extension.
