Different-space publishing

Overview

Different-space publishing allows you to edit draft content in one space, and then publish it to another space on the same server.

Activating different-space publishing

There are two steps to setting up different-space publishing:

1. Configure the Comala Publishing app to connect the draft and public spaces – see also: How Comala Publishing works
2. Update your workflow to trigger the publishing process (see below)

Workflow markup

The publishing is triggered by an action macro, {publish-page}, which must be used in a {trigger}.

{workflow:name=Different-space Publishing}
   {state:Editing|submit=Review}
   {state}
   {state:Review|approved=Published|rejected=Editing}
      {approval:Review|assignable=true}
   {state}
   {state:Published|final=true|updated=Editing}
   {state}
   {trigger:statechanged|state=Published}
      {publish-page}
   {trigger}
{workflow}

The example markup above based on the example from Same-space publishing, but we've added the {trigger} at the bottom. When the state changes to Published, the trigger is activated and the {publish-page} macro instructs the Comala Publishing app to synchronise the published content with the other space.

Note: The final=true parameter is not necessary for different-space publishing, all the work is done by the {publish-page} macro.
