OpenWGA 7.6 - OpenWGA Concepts and Features
Design and development » Design toolsThe OpenWGA context menu
In the context menu of every resource in the studios package explorer (right-click on any file there) there is a sub menu "OpenWGA", having all directly OpenWGA-related actions. The following list explains all availabe actions:
Validate resources
Reruns OpenWGA syntax and configuration validation on the respective resource.
Change dirlink target (Enabled on files dirlink.xml)
The studio uses dirlink files "dirlink.xml" to link designs and plugins that are stored in their own project into OpenWGA runtime projects, so the project picks them up like they were stored in the location where this file is. Therefor you find these files in subfolders of "designs" and "plugins" of those runtime projects. This action can be used to change the target of such a file.
Sort labelfile (Enabled on WebTML label files *.properties)
This sorts the content of a WebTML label file. The labels are ordered by keys ascending. Label groups are grouped together.
Add external design... (Enabled on OpenWGA runtime projects)
Use this to link an OpenWGA design or plugin, that is stored in its own project, into an OpenWGA runtime project, so the runtime uses it like it was part of the runtime project. Execute this action on the runtime project where you want to add the external design, then choose the design or plugin from the dialog.
Open Admin Page (Enabled on OpenWGA runtime projects while they are running on the embedded server)
Opens the OpenWGA admin client on the running server for this project.
Open Content Manager (Enabled on OpenWGA runtime projects while they are running on the embedded server)
Opens the OpenWGA content manager on the running server for this project.
Open TML in browser (Enabled on WebTML modules while their containing runtime project is running on the embedded server)
Directs the system browser to render the addressed WebTML module in a contextless request (see Content and Layout determination on Requests).
Synchronize... (Enabled on OpenWGA runtime projects)
Used to synchronize the design (and optionally plugins) of a runtime project to a remote OpenWGA server. See Export and synchronisation to remote OpenWGA servers.
Export web application... (Enabled on OpenWGA runtime projects)
Used to export a web application that was developed in the studio inside a runtime project to a remote OpenWGA server, including design and current content data. See Export and synchronisation to remote OpenWGA servers.
Stop WGA runtine (Enabled on OpenWGA runtime projects while they are running on the embedded server)
Stops the embedded server.
Start WGA runtime (Enabled on OpenWGA runtime projects while they are not running on the embedded server)
Starts the embedded server using this runtime project for configuration. If the server currently runs a different runtime project it is first shut down.
Resolve overlay conflicts
This is a tool function to resolve conflicts that exist in an overlay design directory between the modifications in overlay and modifications that come in from a new base plugin version. See Using updated base plugins with customized designs.
