Custom PHP Functions
Ektron CMS400.NET maintains and displays content via custom
Ektron PHP functions and ComObjects. For the custom PHP
functions to work properly, do the following:
• Make sure the php_soap.dll file is in the c:\php folder on the
server where you installed PHP.
• Add the following line to the php.ini file.
extension=php_soap.dll
The php.ini file is located in C:\Windows\php.ini.
• In the ApplicationAPI.php file, set the WSDLpath. The
applicationAPI.php file is located by default in:
http://localhost/CMS400Example/WorkArea/platforms/
PHP/applicationAPI.php
ContentWS.asmx is the web services (WSDL) file that the custom PHP functions
use to talk to Ektron CMS400.NET. The WSDLpath located in the
applicationAPI.php file must be set to location of the WSDL file. The default
WSDLpath is http://localhost/CMS400Example/WorkArea/
WebServices/ContentWS.asmx. If you have changed the location of
ContentWS.asmx you need to update the WSDLpath. For example, if your site is
www.myektronsite.com, the WSDLpath would be http://
www.myektronsite.com/WorkArea/WebServices/ContentWS.asmx.
• Add the following line to the top of each template.
This file calls the Ektron custom functions file to allow the page
to function properly. It must appear at the top of the template
file.
• If you have upgraded your Ektron CMS400.NET from an Ektron
CMS300 version, add the following line between the head tags
for each template.
This only needs to be done if you are upgrading from CMS300 to CMS400.NET
