Different versions of robots.txt and .htaccess for test and live servers
We've been keeping our robots.txt and .htaccess files in Cascade Server. The content of those files needs to be different on the test server and the live server. Maybe I could use different configurations for the two servers, with different filename extensions for the two destinations. That's how we publish a news feed along with our home page: index.html and index.xml. But for robots.txt and .htaccess files, the filenames must be the same.
Is there an easy way to do this?

Hi Michael,
I think your idea of using two different Outputs is the best option; each can have the same file extension but would be mapped to a different Destination in the Content Type's Outputs Publishing configuration.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks!

And one configuration uses one content block while the other one uses a different one. Okay, I see how that would work. Thanks. I'd been working on a similar problem, but I didn't realize it wasn't so similar that I needed to use the same solution.

You got it, Michael. Or, if you are using the page's structured data, your outputs would simply use different Formats to generate the different content you need.
I'm going to go ahead and close this discussion, please feel free to comment or reply to re-open if you have any additional questions.
Have a great day!
