Event Content Type Definition

In order to be able to use Live Center, you need to add a suitably configured event content type to your publication's content-type resource. For general information about the content-type resource and how to edit it, see the Escenic Content Engine Resource Reference.

An event content type needs to contain the following special elements:

  • A parameter element with the name com.escenic.live-center.content-type and the value true:

    <parameter name="com.escenic.live-center.content-type" value="true"/>

    This element identifies the content type as a Live Center event.

  • A ui:decorator element with the name com.escenic.livecenter.LiveEventDecorator

    <ui:decorator name="com.escenic.livecenter.LiveEventDecorator" />
  • A field element with the name livecenter. You can control the visibility of the field with the <ui:visibility/> element (see Controlling Field Visibility).

  • Six parameters identifying fields in the content type that are used by Live Center for special purposes. These parameters and their associated fields are described in Special Event Definition Fields.
