0003-Change-theme-and-added-notes-to-dispatcher-quickguid.patch
I am trying to use the dispatcher again. I have looking in the documentation
and I was only able to find this quickstart guide:
http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_80/org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.dispatcher/how/howto-dispatcher-quickstart.html
I was looking for something in plugins_0_90-dev but all links pointed to 0_80.
I think this guide is hard to follow. For example, if you follow it directly
you reach this point:
Use another theme
* Add <property name="dispatcher.theme" value="common"/> to your
forrest.properties.xml
* Re-start 'forrest run'
* localhost:8888/index.html ... See the new view.
But in the rest of the document the pelt theme is used. For example, the line:
# Copy THEMER_PLUGIN/themes/pelt.fv into your project at
${themer.project.dir}/pelt.fv
will be of no use if the user has changed the theme to the common one. Forrest
will ignore these changes.
After that, in the section "Create our own structurer by copy-and-customise"
there are several problems. It's not straight forward to know where the
THEMER_PLUGIN is. A note with the default localisation will help.
The file used in this example is pelt/panels/pelt-html.panel.xml, but according
to my logs locationmap is not looking for that file at all. Maybe the example
is outdated. Changing the file to other one could be enough.
It can be also interesting mention that the url
http://localhost:8888/resolve.structurer.index
shows you the structurer in use. Any change to your pelt.fv file will be shown
here.
The patch adds some comments about this problems but does not provide an
alternative file in for pelt/panels/pelt-html.panel.xml
