Chapter 1: Using Contribute Publishing Server
Forwarding website events to a custom service
After you write and install a custom service, or after you set up the Simple File Deployment or
RSS Activity Feed service, you need to configure the Forwarding service to send events for each
website to the new service. You can stop forwarding events at any time.
To configure the Forwarding service to send events to another service:
1.
Open the CPS Console, if it’s not already open (see
“Accessing the Contribute Publishing Server
Console” on page 5
).
The CPS Console appears.
2.
If the Website Settings
options are not showing, select
Website Settings
from the
Service
Settings
list on the left.
The Website Settings options appear in the CPS Console.
3.
Select the website you want to use this service from the
Website
pop-up menu.
4.
Click the Other Services tab.
The Other Services options appear.
5.
Do either of the following:
■
To start forwarding website events to a custom service, click the
Add
button, enter the URL
for your service in the Add Forwarding Service dialog box, and then click
OK
.
Tip:
The URL for the Simple File Deployment service is: https://localhost:8900/contribute/
customservices/filedeployer/events.cfm. The URL for the RSS Activity Feed service is: https://
localhost:8900/contribute/customservices/rssfeed/events.cfm.
■
To stop forwarding website events to a custom service, select the URL in the Service URL
list, and then click the
Delete
button above the list.
Note:
If you’re using an Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) server, you need to import the server’s
certificate to the CPS certificate store.
6.
Click
Save Settings
to save your settings.
