This form is for editing or creating a destination, and gives
information about how the destination can be used to publish content.
During the first stage of creating a new destination, only the first
two sections of the form are visible. Once they are filled in, press
‘Next’ to move forward and show the rest of the form.
The complete form is also shown when editing an existing destination.
Properties
- Name
- The name of the destination. It must be unique, but is only used
to make it easier to distinguish different destinations.
- Description
- A fuller description of the purpose of the destination.
- Move Method
- The method used to copy the files to the destination. The actual
set of options available will depend on how your Bricolage installation
is configured, but the following might be available:
- File System
- A simple copy on the local file system.
- FTP
- Upload to a remote server using FTP.
- SFTP
- Upload to a remote server using secure FTP.
- WebDAV
- Upload to a remote server using HTTP with WebDAV.
- Copy Resources
- If checked, the resources being deployed on the server will be copied
to a temporary directory before any ‘actions’ are applied to
them.
- Publishes
- If checked (which is the default and common case), this destination
will be used for publishing finished output.
- Previews
- If checked, this destination can be used for previewing output.
- Site
- If you haven't defined any sites, this will automatically be
the 'Default Site'. Otherwise, select from the list of sites.
Output Channels
This section is used to set the output channels for which this
destination will be used.
Actions
Use this part of the form to add, edit or remove actions,
which are the types of processing that output is subjected to when it is
sent to the destination.
The common case is for there to be only one action, of type
‘Move’, which performs the actual copy or upload operation.
Servers
Use this part of the form to add, edit or remove servers,
which define how output is sent to the server when it is published.
For example, if the FTP method is being used to copy output, a username
and password must be given for the server.
