Publications installs a default Content Sync configuration template that generates the files that are uploaded
to Digital Publishing Suite.
You can customize this template so that it supports your Publications applications. The template is located in
the folder:
/etc/contentsync/templates/dps-default
NOTE
The Geometrixx Unlimited sample installs the following template that you can use as a learning
tool:
/etc/contentsync/templates/dps-geometrixx-unlimited template
COPYING THE DEFAULT CONTENT SYNC TEMPLATE
Create a copy of the default Content Sync template that is provided for pushing publications to Digital
Publishing Suite. After you create the copy, you can make changes as required.
NOTE
After you copy the node, configure the dps-exportTemplate property of your issue page template
accordingly.

INCLUDING HTML RESOURCES
When your Experience Manager application includes custom Client Library Folder defintions, you need
to include the generated CSS and JS files in the ZIP file that is uploaded to Digital Publishing Suite. The
dps-default template includes the dps-HTMLResources node where configuration nodes of type clientlib
are saved. The clientlib configuration type is a standard type that Content Sync provides for caching these
generated library files.

INCLUDING HTML PAGES
When your Publication articles include separate HTML pages as content (HTML pages that are not articles),
you need to add the HTML pages to the resources ZIP file that is uploaded to Digital Publishing Suite. The
following configurations cause the HTML file to be included:
• The HTML file is represented as a cq:Page resource and is a child of the article node.
• The dps-HTMLResources node of your copy of the dps-default template has the dpsincludeSubPages property set to true.
NOTE
To incorporate the content of an HTML file into an article, you can create a custom component.
For example, the component JSP can read the content of the file and insert it into the article
HTML code.
How to create such a component is beyond the scope of this topic.
