The entry-type Resource
Live Center
requires an additional publication resource called
entry-type
. It is an XML resource that defines the
field structure of different Live Center entry types in the same way as the
content-type
resource defines the field structure of
content types. It is in fact very similar to the
content-type
resource, and uses the same elements and
namespaces. It is, however, generally simpler than a
content-type
resource since entries have simpler
structures than content items.
For a description of the standard content-type
resource format, see the Escenic Content Engine
Resource Reference. When you are creating an
entry-type
resource rather than a
content-type
resource, then you need to take the
following factors into account:
-
Each
content-type
element defines a Live Center entry type, not a content type. -
The
panel
element is required bycontent-type
resource syntax, but has no meaning in Live Center. You should therefore create just onepanel
in eachcontent-type
element as a container for all itsfield
elements. -
Summary and relation-related elements such as
summary
,relation-type
,relation-type-group
have no meaning in Live Center and are ignored if present. -
The following field types are not supported by Live Center and will be ignored if present:
collection complex schedule
-
Some
field
elements may contain special Live Center elements belonging to thehttp://xmlns.escenic.com/2015/live-center
namespace. For details see Special Live Center Elements.
