Customizing the Liferay Connector Mapping File
You can customize the mapping file to fine-tune the indexed content or to include other Liferay entities.
To customize the mapping file
-
Using an administrator account, connect to the Coveo Master server.
-
Using a text editor:
-
Open the default mapping file: [CES_Path]\bin\Coveo.CES.CustomCrawlers.Liferay.DefaultMappingFile.xml
Example: With the default installation path: C:\Program Files\Coveo Enterprise Search 7\Bin\Coveo.CES.CustomCrawlers.Liferay.DefaultMappingFile.xml
-
Save the file using a name of your choice in the [Index_Path]\Config\ folder.
Example: With the default index path: C:\CES7\Config\MyLiferayMappingFile.xml
-
Respecting the mapping file format (see About the Liferay Connector Mapping File), customize the file. Use the CustomFields section to directly reference columns present on a Liferay entity.
-
Save your changes.
-

Specify your customized mapping file in your Liferay source (see Configuring and Indexing a Liferay Source).
