Global AEM @torontomu.ca email replacements scheduled for Saturday, January 21
Digital Publishing will be replacing all 鈥淍ryerson.ca鈥� emails with 鈥淍torontomu.ca鈥� in AEM website content on Saturday, January 21, 2023 between 6 a.m and 4 p.m. AEM Author (both Production and Development) will not be available during this time.
This email outlines important information related to the replacement that should be reviewed before January 21:
- No exclusions to 鈥淍ryerson.ca鈥� replacements
- Inventory content
- HTML snippets & locked pages
- Post-replacement verification
1. No exclusions to 鈥淍ryerson.ca鈥� replacements
All 鈥淍ryerson.ca鈥� emails will be replaced with 鈥淍torontomu.ca鈥�. This includes emails in web page content (visible and source code) and asset properties (title, description). Only emails that end in 鈥淍ryerson.ca鈥� will be replaced. If you have an email that contains a subdomain such as 鈥渘ame@ee.ryerson.ca鈥�, it will not be replaced with 鈥淍torontomu.ca鈥�. The global find and replace does not have any exclusion scenarios (except for HTML snippets & locked pages, see #3 below).
2. Inventory your relevant 鈥淍ryerson.ca鈥� content
If you have instructional or FAQ information that includes 鈥淍ryerson.ca鈥�, the text will be changed to 鈥�@torontomu.ca鈥� during the global replacement. An example of this type of page content:
鈥淚 have a @ryerson.ca email account. What is going to happen to it now that the university has been renamed?鈥�
For instances such as this where you need to retain 鈥淍ryerson.ca鈥�, we recommend creating an inventory of these pages ahead of the replacement, and then manually edit the email after January 21.
We have created a list of all pages and assets that contain instances of 鈥淍ryerson.ca鈥�. If you are unsure where 鈥淍ryerson.ca鈥� is present in your content, feel free to review the following documents:
- Production content: Full list of webpages and assets that contain @torontomu.ca emails (> 28,000 pages) (LINK REMOVED)
- Development content: Full list of webpages and assets that contain @torontomu.ca emails (LINK REMOVED)
3. HTML snippets & Locked pages
- HTML snippet components containing 鈥淍ryerson.ca鈥� must be manually updated by the site author.
- Locked pages containing 鈥淍ryerson.ca鈥� emails will be replaced with 鈥淍torontomu.ca鈥�; however, the page will not be published with this change. Authors must unlock and publish these pages.

4. Verifying page replacements
If you wish to verify that a replacement has been made, open your page, click the page information icon (1) and select 鈥淪ee Page Replacement History鈥� (2).
There may be some instances that require republishing from the AEM author environment. If you notice that a page does not have an updated 鈥淍ryerson.ca鈥� email address, check the page in AEM to verify the updated email. Then republish.
Thank you,
