How to match the file path in Alias.flali with Alias.xml

Post by evn »

Hi,

Wondering if there is a way to ensure that the path specified in the Alias.flali I created matched the path ultimately referenced in the generated Alias.xml?

At the moment, in my generated Alias.xml, the top "/Content" folder is excluded from the path. Unfortunately, I need the exact path specified in Alias.flali to also be referenced in the generated Alias.xml (bit of a long story why I need this, but I can elaborate if it would help :) )

For example:
Alias.flali contains this entry:
<Map Name="features" Link="/Content/Topics/Help/features.htm" />

Its equivalent entry in the generated Alias.xml is:
<Map ResolvedId="1057" Link="Topics/Help/features.htm" Name="features"/>

Note: I'm using the WebHelpPlus Flare target to generate the Help. My output folder is using Flare's default location. Also, I used the automatically assign approach to create my Alias.flali file.

Any chance someone can suggest how I can achieve the match or maybe where I'm going wrong?

Thanks for your time,
evn
