Moving the Published Content

Once publishing is complete, the content (topic files, image files, and Author-it Website Manager XML file) must be moved to the appropriate language folder in the Author-it Website Manager content folder.

This process can be automated using an afterpublish batch file.

To add an AfterPublish Batch File

1. Create your batch file outside of Author-it with a plain text editor like Notepad, ensuring it is named AfterPublish.bat

   A sample batch file can be found in your Templates/Website Manager folder. This batch file must first be configured to point to locations on your system.

2. Specify the batch file as an Additional File under the HTML properties of the Book object.

   

3. Save your changes.

   Author-it copies all additional files to the publishing folder at the time of publishing your Book. Provided the batch file is found, Author-it invokes the batch file automatically as publishing completes.

Important: The batch file must be called AfterPublish.bat and must be defined as an Additional File.
