Is it possible to have a menu link in DocBuilder link to the publish index for Article Manager. In other words, to use both programs together?

Hi Greg,
Thanks for posting 
To do this all you need to add the link code for the into one of DocBuilders templates. I'll explain the steps that you need to take below.
1. Log into your web sever and locate the installation of DocBulider in your /cgi-bin/ directory
2. Once you have found the DocBulider files, and then look for the /templates/ directorya
3. In the _doc_menu.html template, add the code for your link.
4. In the code for the link, add the following code:
target="content"
So the link code would look something like this:
<a href="http://www.YOURWEBSITE.com/artman/publish/" target="content">
5. Save the template and re-upload it to the web server.
6. Log in to DocBulider, and click on Document Manager.
7. Pick any document and click Modify.
8. Click Save with out making any changes to the actual document. What this does is publish the changes that you made to the template to all the files that have previously been published. That's all!
What the target="content" command does is direct the link to the Doc Builder content frame.
I hope that answers your questions, if you need further clarification, or have additional questions, please don't hesitate to post again

Cliff,
What you suggested makes sense, but I was hoping to use the menu link I created in DocBuilder to link to the Article Manager publish directory.
Go to http://www.gillesbisson.com and you can see how I setup the menu. The link called NEWSROOM was the one I was hoping to link as well as the sublinks contained within.
Thanks!
Greg

Hi Greg,
Thanks for the clarification
If you want to do it this way, the best way is through and SSI. You can enable SSI's in DocBuilder by going into Setup Options, and in the General Options, there is a checkbox for SSI Tag Parsing. If you check this box, you can use SSI's in the body of the page content.
Once you have turned on the SSI ability, all you need to do is paste the SSI tag in the body of the page, so the page content would be something like this:
<!--#include virtual="path/to/article/manager/published/content"-->
This tag will populate the content frame with the content from Article Manager. Give that a try, and let me know if it is a good solution for you
