Registering the Pipe

To register the pipe, perform the following procedure:

1. Register the pipe components by adding the following code:
   
   private void RegisterXmlInboundPipe()

   {

       PublishingSystemFactory.RegisterPipe(XmlInboundPipe.PipeName, typeof(XmlInboundPipe));

    

       var mappingsList = XmlInboundPipe.GetDefaultMapping();

       PublishingSystemFactory.RegisterPipeMappings(XmlInboundPipe.PipeName, true, mappingsList);

    

       SitefinityContentPipeSettings pipeSettings = new SitefinityContentPipeSettings();

       pipeSettings.IsInbound = true;

       pipeSettings.IsActive = true;

       pipeSettings.MaxItems = 25;

       pipeSettings.InvocationMode = PipeInvokationMode.Push;

       pipeSettings.ContentTypeName = typeof(Telerik.Sitefinity.News.Model.NewsItem).FullName;

       pipeSettings.UIName = "XmlInboundPipeName";

       pipeSettings.PipeName = XmlInboundPipe.PipeName;

       pipeSettings.ResourceClassId = typeof(PublishingModuleExtensionsResources).Name;

    

       PublishingSystemFactory.RegisterPipeSettings(XmlInboundPipe.PipeName, pipeSettings);

    

       var definitions = XmlInboundPipe.CreateDefaultPipeDefinitions();

       PublishingSystemFactory.RegisterPipeDefinitions(XmlInboundPipe.PipeName, definitions);

   }
2. Install the custom virtual paths by adding the following code:
   
   public static readonly string PublishingVirtualPath = "~/SFPublishing/";

    

   private void InstallCustomVirtualPaths( SiteInitializer initializer )

   {

       var virtualPathConfig = initializer.Context.GetConfig<VirtualPathSettingsConfig>();

       ConfigManager.Executed += new EventHandler<ExecutedEventArgs>( ConfigManager_Executed );

       var productsModuleVirtualPathConfig = new VirtualPathElement( virtualPathConfig.VirtualPaths )

       {

           VirtualPath = PublishingSystemExtensionsModule.PublishingVirtualPath + "*",

           ResolverName = "EmbeddedResourceResolver",

           ResourceLocation = "PublishingModuleExtensions"

       };

       if ( !virtualPathConfig.VirtualPaths.ContainsKey( PublishingSystemExtensionsModule.PublishingVirtualPath + "*" ) )

           virtualPathConfig.VirtualPaths.Add( productsModuleVirtualPathConfig );

   }

    

   private void ConfigManager_Executed( object sender, Telerik.Sitefinity.Data.ExecutedEventArgs args )

   {

       if ( args.CommandName == "SaveSection" )

       {

           var section = args.CommandArguments as VirtualPathSettingsConfig;

           if ( section != null )

           {

               VirtualPathManager.Reset();

           }

       }

   }

First, you register the pipe and its components. Then, you create and register the mappings, settings and definitions. Finally, you install the custom virtual paths.
