Re: Non-master pages not published in publishing job

[Jian Huang]

Hi Neil,

There might be some misunderstanding regarding publishing and navigation manager, and I would like to clarify it here using this thread.

The navigation manager structure is really just a subset of the project structure that you see in SmartTree.  Whether the page is published or not is not dependent on its existence within the navigation manager structure.  From my experience, publishing works in the same way as link crawlers.  With "all following pages" option enabled, the publishing engine crawls to the next page via links that are visible in the HTML page.  Or simply, no link, no crawl, no publish of the linked to page.

NOTE: by default, page crawler do not crawl referenced links ( green link in SmartTree that looks like >> this link).  New to 10.1 SP2, links generated via navigation manager or rendertag with .GetUrl(Bool:True) do not get crawled either.  This makes sense and it is a best practice to have that in any navigation code, else, the pages appear in navigation get crawled all the time.  If you have 10 pages, each with 9 links in left navigation, that is 90 crawls.

Never mind, didn't publish from the news archive page but a full publish from the homepage got them...

Hi guys

As per Jian's advice on navigation emulation, I've started making our foundation news templates outside of navigation manager, and compensating for the loss of breadcrumbs, nav, etc.

This is fine but it now means that publishing the news front page and 'following' or 'related' pages doesn't publish the articles as they are no longer in navigation manager.

What would be the best approach to get non-master page foundation templates published in a site-wide publishing job?

Cheers
