Hotfix Manager

Installation

The HotfixManager is installed as web application under the web directory of your SDL Tridion 2011 Installation. In the download package there is a HotfixManager folder which contains all the files needed to create the web application. After copying the HotfixManager folder to your web directory you have to convert this folder to an application in IIS.

Afterwards you have to add a custompage in the Tridion CME and link it to the HotfixManager.aspx file in the installed folder.

Configuration

The only value to configure is the folder in which the hotfixes and the hotfix list file are stored. This path has to be a relative path from the web application root folder. Initially the configuration looks as follows:

<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <addkey="folder_hotfixes" value="~\hotfixes"/>
  </appSettings>

Usage
