Template path in NCE

Bjorn.L.964

Hi,

We're moving from the Classic experience to the NCE shortly.
Currently we rely on using the Template Path option in the Display Settings (see https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/6040-change-content-display-settings%29. ). This provides the option to limit the templates visible to those we've provided in the File Store and can be conveniently used from the Template dropdown menu in the editor.

Does the NCE support this "local level" of templating via the file store without having to manually browse through it each time to find the template?

Thanks,

Bjorn

Hi Bjorn,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

Please know that currently in the New Content Experience, you can’t set the default template path right from the content settings. However, if you copy that template path example : /shared/LCS_HTML_Templates/ and go search in the config variable browser for d2l.Tools.Content.TemplatePath, you can set them for individual Org units to pull templates from that location.

I hope this helps!

Kind Regards,

Thank you Mehak.

So, just to clarify, it's possible to set d2l.Tools.Content.TemplatePath to point at a location within the OrgUnit file store? So for example, we might have orgunit/content/templates available for individual courses to place their own templates in?
