How to import widgets

Now we assume that you have successfully exported widget configuration. So, now you have the exported configuration file. During the import procedure you have to use this file. The import steps are as follows-

  • First configure import, archive and error directory in /etc/escenic/engine/common/com/escenic/framework/EWFImportConfiguration.properties. You must put your exported xml file in import directory location and also images which are related with widgets.

  • From Web Studio go to 'Wf-Syndication' option.

  • Select Import Widget Framework Configuration

  • Select the file from which configuration will be imported. This is basically the file which is generated by WF Syndication export task. You must place this file in the import directory location. Syndication plugin does not export any images. So, if you have any images associated with any widget you must place those in the import directory manually. Then the syndication plugin will automatically import them and will attach them with widget.

  • Now click on Perform Import

  • Be aware of any error while import

Import is said to be successful if a corresponding config page is created for the selected configuration section, widget is created for selected configuration section and widget is linked with images (if there is any).
