Configuration

Introduction

This document describes the structure of the EPiServer Framework configuration.

Refer to the EPiServer CMS SDK > Developer Guide > Configuration Syntax for a description of the syntax used when explaing the various configuration elements.

Introduction

This document describes the typographical conventions for configuring elements and attributes section in EPiServer Framework.

Syntax Used in this Document

Each sub element of this section is described in two different ways: a pseudo XML structure showing the hierarchy and including all attributes and a set of tables describing each element’s attributes in more detail.

Pseudo XML Structure

• (Obsolete elements and attributes) written within parentheses.
• The type of the attribute value is listed as the value, in other words stringAttribute="string".
• Elements and attributes are listed in alphabetical order.
• Element collections are indicated by "..." at the same level as the repeatable element.

Example:

CopyXML

<someElement>
    <optionalCollectionElement>
      <add optionalAttribute="valueType"
       requiredAttribute="valueType" />
       ...
   </optionalCollectionElement>
   <optionalElement (obsoleteAttribute="valueType")
       optionalAttribute="valueType"
       requiredAttribute="valueType" />
                <requiredElement (obsoleteAttribute="valueType")
       optionalAttribute="valueType"
       requiredAttribute="valueType" />
 </someElement>

Attribute Tables

More detailed descriptions of attributes are displayed in table format, one table for each element.

• Attributes are listed with name, default value and description.
• Attributes are listed in alphabetical order.
• An empty Default Value column indicates that there is no default value.

Example:

<requiredElement> Element Attributes
