HiLong time since I've been looking at Roller but I've recently desided to use Roller in a new blog so I'll be digging into the project some more from now on. Hope I can contribute to the project in the future :)The default templates shipped with Roller has some markup issues (doc-type which put browsers in quirksmode, mixture of html and xhtml etc. etc..) which I would like to sort out. To fix this I would like to create my own theme which I can maintian without having a conflict with future code releases of Roller.I've read trought the template documentation in the wiki and I must confess that Velocity is not a familiar template engine for me at the moment (I work daily with templating in a pure Java and JSP/jstl environment) so I've got a couple of, probably basic, questions:- Themes are located in subdirectories in the "themes" folder on root of the web-container. This is nice since it makes it possible to have custom templates appart from the Roller core code. But, some parts of the markup are generated with some Velocity templates in the "\WEB-INF\velocity\" directory. The problem is that I would like to change some of the markup created by the templates in the"\WEB-INF\velocity\" directory. Can these templates be moved into my custom template folder so I can keep them separated from whats under "\WEB-INF\velocity\"?I would like to keep all my templates in a custom themes folder so I easy can upgrade Roller in the future. If yes, how can I separate out these files in the "\WEB-INF\velocity\" directory to a custom themes directory.- How can I configure Velocity to read the templates on each reload so I can see changes applied to the template files when the files are changed on disk? I've seen a question about this before on the mailinglist where the answere was that editing the files trough the Roller admin GUI was the recommended way for solving this, but I do not find this as an effective way to work. I prefere to use a good editor (IntelliJ or similar) for this jobb and work on file level.- Is there someone who have replaced the Velocity themes with pure JSP themes and would be willing to share a copy of these templates as an example to look at? This is a long shot and I will not start by implementing my first theme as JSP templates, but I do actually prefere to work with JSP and jstl. (I'm also playing with the idea of making some mobile templates by implementing WURFL (http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/). WURFL play very well with jstl).All the best.Trygve _________________________________________________________________ Nummersøk og veibeskrivelser med satellittbilder! http://maps.live.no/
