[views: .fv files] Is there a way to specify one .fv file for multiple
input files, or does every page need an individual file?

Yes. If you search through the archives, you'll find several emails from Thorsten covering the resolving mechanism. I believe its something like this (this is not authoritative, but indicative):

o for pagename.html, first check if pagename.fv exists

if not, look for one in the directory of the source file with the same name as the default *.fv (as defined in forrest.properties)

if not, look for themename.fv in the PROJECT_HOME/resources/themes directory


o if not, look for themename.fv in the resources/themes directory

(in the themer plugin)


o if not, use default.fv that ships with Forrest.


Someone should document that.

It's documented in the structurer locationmap ;-)

(just a hint for anyone who may have the time to work on such documentation)
