There are instructions on how to set up a "local" environment/implementation of the AOO website complete with downloading and using the needed CMS files on the following page -- http://openoffice.apache.org/website-local.html This requires setting up an (Apache) webserver on your local box, and other requirements. Most of us doing more complex changes use this approach, and is really necessary when dealing with the view.pm and path.pm files which affect rendering to the whole site. This advice aside, it would be very nice to have some additional expertise on the use of the Django templating process used by the CMS. - -- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." -- Helen Keller -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJTe98NAAoJEJ8zlgVF1GcuMnsIAJ3BB72ufJO7FFFzjovEeYG+ Xf5du4bcDXVDBQMhPkktlbdYBPbbPRsMvEDgeCfNL2N0OMrw2JOvuAckvNzXpeCE YqCyQ42/TDnYOacJTCF0flKhnnOUmxi9FtpPbXzajCMMoCg8AcuyxTyEQWCGV3xx SwQIDAZq/yaFOwJV1jIrUwIRwKX2W02WogzcQA6YhcIjIwLj8zXburfxyN6/9tW7 rbjFBuasnwRt+BnFdQ5mvMtr/iOcTcOTyKxUAGfLJdhVPQVHXMdcqsUml94wC9MU dGqBLlzHI/J2JOJj4x2BGUTWOYhYNXYuClWsoglxbKd07YGFu6E+eq6XfyCsBbU= =Fyey -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
