Continuous integration supports the following types of Kentico objects:
Related pages
Object type | CI folder name | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Alternative forms | cms.alternativeform | Child object type with the following possible parent types: Custom tables, Forms, Page types, Module classes |
| Avatars | cms.avatar | |
| Bad words | badwords.word | |
| Badges | cms.badge | The continuous integration data of user objects does not include the activity point values based on which the system assigns automatic badges. As a result, users may have different automatic badges assigned after being synchronized to different instances. |
| Banned IPs | cms.bannedip | |
| Canned responses for chat | chat.supportcannedresponse | Only includes public canned responses. Personal canned responses created by individual users are not supported by the continuous integration solution. |
| Chat rooms | chat.room | Continuous integration does not track private and one-on-one chat rooms, and the serialized data does not include the enabled status of rooms. When restoring data from the CIRepository folder, any new chat rooms are always created with the Enabled status. |
| Consents | cms.consent | Includes consent definitions, with all language versions of the consent texts. Continuous integration does not track consent agreements given by contacts or archived consents. |
| Countries | cms.country | Supported child objects:
|
| CSS stylesheets | cms.cssstylesheet | |
| Cultures | cms.culture | |
| Custom tables | cms.customtable | Includes the definitions and settings of custom tables. The data records stored within the tables are represented by a separate object type for each table, named in format customtableitem.<table code name>. Note: If you change the code name of a custom table with existing data records, the system attempts to re-serialize all data under the new object type. If any problems occur, you may need to manually serialize all objects in the Continuous integration application to bring your CIRepository folder into the correct state. Supported child objects:
|
| Custom table data | customtableitem.<table code name> | Represents the data records stored within custom tables. Each custom table has a separate object type for its data, named in format customtableitem.<table code name>. For example: customtableitem.customtable.sampletable Note: The continuous integration solution does not track the data of custom tables without an ItemGUID field. The GUID values are used to identify custom table records and in the names of the corresponding XML files. You can add a GUID field and generate identifier values for all records by clicking Create GUID on the Fields tab of the custom table's editing interface. |
