Important Note: Correctly Publishing in the Building Blocks Folder

In order for the Publications List to publish on a page, you must publish the Publications Reference components in the Building Blocks folder.

How you proceed to publish these will depend if your website uses a single publication or has a parent-child structure.

• Your site has parent-child structure if you build your components in a parent publication, e.g. Surgery - (1), and the Root folder with the pages of your website is in a separate child publication, e.g. Surgery - (2) Main Site.

For a website that is a single publication:

• Publish from the same folder where you built the components.

For a website that has parent-child structure:

1. Go into the Categories and Keywords folder of your publication.

   • This folder is located underneath the pink Root folder in the left column of Tridion. 

   • The icon looks like a small brown box.

2. In this folder, you will see several pre-populated categories.

   • The information you use in this section will be pulled from your notes collected in Part I (LINK WHEN PAGE IS READY).

   • There is a strong chance that some of the information is repeated.

   • For example, there may only be one unique Author or Channel across all of your Podcasts.

   • When completing the steps below, do not create duplicate keywords.

3. First, double-click Podcast Author.

   • In the Create tab at the top banner of Tridion, select New Keyword.

   • A new window will open. In the Value field, enter the name of the Podcast Author.

     • It is not required that you fill out other fields.

   • Save and Close.

   • Repeat for each different author.

4. Next, double-click Podcast Categories.

   • In the Create tab at the top banner of Tridion, select New Keyword.

   • A new window will open. In the Value field, enter the name of the Podcast Category.

     • It is not required that you fill out other fields.

   • Save and Close.

   • Repeat for each different author.

5. Repeat step 4 for Podcast Channel, Podcast Guests and Podcast Topic.

   • If you'd like to use podcast keywords, which are used by the iTunes search, also repeat step 4 for Podcast Keywords.

6. Once all of your items have been created, return to the Building Blocks folder of your publication.

...

1. Once all of your Podcast components have been saved, in the same folder, create a New Component and select Dynamic List from the Schema drop-down menu.

   • Show items based on this schema (i.e., podcast): This field should be pre-populated with Podcast.

   • Keyword Filters: Enter the name of your Podcast channel.

   • Layout: You can organize your Podcasts by Date or by Topic.

2. Save and Close the component.

3. Now you will publish all of your Podcast components in the Building Blocks folder.

   • (See the note at the top of these instructions (LINK WHEN PAGE IS READY) below this part about publishing components)

4. After they have published, go into the Root folder of your publication and open the page where your Podcast channel will be featured.

5. In the Component Presentations tab, insert the Dynamic List component you just created. Use the Dynamic List template.

6. Make sure you have other components on the page or else it will not publish (you should at the least add a Page Title component at the top of the page).
