In my ASP.NET website I'm finding that my [tcdl] tags related to SmartTarget content are not being converted, but are being served 'as is' in the page HTML.

I've tried the following:

1) I've gone through the installation doc, paying particular attention to Configuring Content Delivery (requires login), but this doesn't seem to help.

2) Checked our working environment (this was ST 2009, the none working is now ST 2011 SP2) as I'm pretty sure that I'm missing a TCDL related JAR, but when I compare with other environments that are working, the JAR is in place.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

You're probably missing the tagbundle configuration in the cd_deployer_conf.xml

You need to add the following to the <TCDLEngine> section of the deployer:

<TagBundle Resource="com/tridion/smarttarget/tcdl/tagbundle.xml" />

Sounds like a Deployer configuration issue to me, rather than a WebApp/Broker issue. Double check you have the Smart Target tag bundle in the TCDLEngine element of your Deployer config.

Just checking and comparing with my (working) ST box.

Do you have a Processors configured in the deployer's cd_deployer_conf.xml?

<Processor Action="Deploy" Class="com.tridion.deployer.Processor" Phase="post-transaction">
  <Module Type="SmartTargetDeploy" Class="com.tridion.smarttarget.deployer.FredhopperDeployerModule">
    <Transformer Class="com.tridion.deployer.TCDLTransformer"/>
  </Module>
</Processor>
<Processor Action="Undeploy" Class="com.tridion.deployer.Processor" Phase="post-transaction">
  <Module Type="SmartTargetUndeploy" Class="com.tridion.smarttarget.deployer.FredhopperUndeployModule"/>
</Processor>

And a tagbundle?

<TagBundle Resource="com/tridion/smarttarget/tcdl/tagbundle.xml"/>

Update: Oops, didn't read Nuno's reply yet.

  • Thanks John, Of course it's not about points and reputation, but about helping each other out as fellow Tridion-ees. ;) And Nuno was first, I can't keep up with him.

As mentioned above, The

<TagBundle Resource="com/tridion/smarttarget/tcdl/tagbundle.xml"/>

registers handlers for the smarttarget tcdl tags in the deployer, without it the deployer will ignore the 'unknown' tags
