Adding AlterCast support to a site
Several files are needed in a site to support creating pages that contain AlterCast-supplied images. These files are not added to the site by default. You must manually copy them from the GoLive product installation folder to your site.
To add AlterCast support to a site:
- Locate the AlterCast support files in the folder Settings/Server Pages/AlterCast in the GoLive installation folder. There are files for ASP sites and JSP sites. AlterCast is not supported under PHP at present.
- Copy these files into the config folder in your site. The config folder is created when the site is made dynamic using the dynamic site wizard. This must be done before copying in the AlterCast support files.
- For a JSP site, the config/WEB-INF/web.xml file must also be edited. As part of copying the files from Settings/Server Pages/AlterCast to your site in step 1, a file named config/WEB-INF/ web.xml.altercast.readme is copied. Open this file in a text editor. It contains instructions and text that needs to be added to the config/WEB-INF/web.xml file. Carefully follow these instructions. You will need to know the installation pathname for AlterCast on the server to complete the instructions. Once the web.xml file is edited, you can delete the web.xml.altercast.readme file from your site if you wish.
- Once the files are added, you need to upload them to the server and restart GoLive for the support extensions to take effect.
