Mapping EPiServer Pages to Topics

An EPiServer administrator is also responsible for creating a EPiServer page types to TMCore topic types. This is done by creating a property on the page type as follows (this is also described the installation guide):

Note that the name of the field shown, topicGuid is the default value. If you modify the value of the NP_TM_TopicSIPageProperty configuration parameter then the field name must be set to the value of this parameter.

For debugging/development purposes, it may be useful to show the field in edit mode (set Display in Edit Mode to checked), however in a production system it is recommended that this is not shown. It is not relevant information for editors.

Users will typically not edit the value of this field.

If a page type does not contain a field of this description then no topics will be created for instances of that page type. This is convenient way to exclude specific page types from representation in the topic map. If an editor attempts to classify a page which does not have a topic created for it, then they will receive the error message: Topic cannot be loaded! when clicking the tab.
