Sony BMG — Production Guide

Content Widgets (Powered by CPS)

Widgets powered by CPS (Content Publishing System) are no more than static HTML generated from the CPS site. This HTML is generated from a central location (http://www.sonybmgcms.com) and uploaded to a pre-defined path of an FTP account. If a site hasn't been setup yet to receive published content from CPS, the Content Manager must contact the Sony BMG IT Group. When setting up a new site, be sure to request the most recent version of the HTML. Published content is inserted into the page with Server Side Includes (SSI).
