MTDG: Build Types

A build type designates how and under what conditions a template will be published. The build_type property is used with index and archive templates only. The value assigned to the build_type property is a simple integer. Below is a list of allowable values and their associated meaning.

• 0 - Disabled. Do not publish this template ever.
• 1 - On demand. Publish this template whenever a new entry or comment is created.
• 2 - Manually (default). Publish this template only when an admin requests it to be republished from within the Melody CMS.
• 3 - Dynamically. Publish this template in real time whenever it is requested by a reader.
• 4 - Via Publish Queue. Publish this template whenever a new entry or comment is created, but publish it via the "publish queue," a background process to which publishing can be strategically off-loaded.

Example

templates:
  index:
    sitemap:
      label: 'Google Sitemap'
      outfile: 'sitemap.xml'
      build_type: 2
