Hello,
Thanks Dave.
Also want to know, I am thinking of contributing to roller with some new
themes for the the front-end of the roller, as the present themes are
not that looking great and building with latest resources (like using
bootstrap CSS and using latest Html5 tags). I would like to know how I
should go for this, should I have to file a proposal for this or any
specific requirement for this. I am already started building a theme
which If community agrees we can have it in next upcoming release of Roller.
Please suggest.
Thanks
Gaurav

Guarav,
The code at this URL is code that is "tagged" as Roller 5.0:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/tags/roller_5.0/pom.xml
It represents the state of the code when we released Roller 5.0
Tags are read only and we use them to preserve history of past releases.
If you want to get the very latest Roller code you need to get the code
here:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/trunk
Hope that helps...

Hello,
Thanks a lot Glen, for this very much helpful information. I would love to
contribute to roller project.
Also about the pom.xml you mentioned is correct but I took the checkout
from svn where the file still have that repo, you can see that here
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/tags/roller_5.0/pom.xml
Is it correct to file Jira for this issue, as it seems to me that its not
a issue just that code is not updated in svn. What do you think ?
Thanks

Hi Gaurav, can you switch to 5.1-SNAPSHOT? It is *so* much smaller,
simpler and cleaner, even if it perhaps (?) has more bugs (it may not,
actually.) Roller chair Dave Johnson upgraded his blog to 5.1-SNAPSHOT,
skipping 5.0.2 entirely, and I plan on doing the same myself.
To build Roller 5.0.x on my machine takes about 5 minutes, Roller
5.1-SNAPSHOT is about 1 minute 10 seconds. It's *that* much better. Also,
we don't have any 3rd party repos in 5.1-SNAPSHOT anymore, so your headache
below (and associated wasted time) would never have occurred were you on
5.1-SNAPSHOT.
To answer your question, that repo is no longer in the 5.0.x branch:
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/roller/branches/roller_5.0/
pom.xml?revision=1515920&view=markup, so that problem shouldn't occur
today--you're working with an older version. You can enter JIRAs (bug
reports) and supply patches but except for compilation errors and security
holes the Roller team doesn't want to spend any more time on the 5.0.x
series. If you supply several quality patches over a sustained period of
time you may get voted in as a committer (having direct commit rights),
like it is with every Apache project, but until then you'll need a
committer to apply your JIRA-posted patches.
(BTW, you should be on 5.0.2 or 5.1-SNAPSHOT due to security holes in
5.0.1: http://rollerweblogger.org/project/entry/apache_roller_5_0_2)

Glen

Hello,
I have implemented the change successfully and tested it. Thanks for
helping.
Also during the build of the project, I found build failure due to error
in the pom.xml of roller_5.0.1
pom.xml
<repository>
<id>guice</id>
<url>http://guice-maven.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/</url>
</repository>
The url given is not found and gives 404 error. I have fixed this for my
local by commenting this repository and replace with this
<repository>
<id>thirdparty-uploads</id>
<name>JBoss Thirdparty Uploads</name>
<url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/thirdparty-
uploads</url>
</repository>
If its an issue and have to be fixed, then I so eager to commit this. If
so, Please tell me how I can commit this.
Thanks

Haven't tested it yet, but it looks like the only change in either
5.0.x or 5.1 is in class WeblogEntry, method createAnchorBase(), just
change the underscore in this line to a hyphen: tmp = (tmp == null) ? s :
tmp + "_" + s; then rebuild Roller.

I haven't looked yet for 5.1, it will probably be the same class(es)
in 5.0.x, check Roller commits list for when it's done (don't know when I
or someone else will be able to get to it, we're a volunteer effort.)

Hello Glen,
It will be great that we should introduce this in roller 5.1 but what
about
the roller 5.0 users, as I am using roller 5.0 and just have completly
integrated in my another application so how I should go, I am finding
the
solution for the urls with dashes so that i can finally make it live.
So, what Can I do to implement it in roller 5.0, If there are to be
changes
in code I can customize for my application.
Thanks

Hi Gaurav, thanks for looking at Roller. Yes, it looks like Roller
needs
updating here, as most blogging-like tools are now on hyphens:
Wordpress:
http://blog.arungupta.me/2013/11/glassfish-commercial-is-
dead-wildfly-and-jboss-eap-to-rescue/
Blogger:
http://owulff.blogspot.com/2013/11/apache-cxf-fediz-110-
released.html
Stack Overflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20146549/compile-
method-of-expressiontdelegate-makes-fatal-error-on-android
Confluence (exception, uses +):
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CXF/
Commercial+CXF+Offerings
And Google, at least as of 2011, recommends using hyphens for new
webpages
(but does not see much value in switching over if one is already on
underscores, as the SEO gain is not much):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQcSFsQyct8
Team: I think what we should do, starting with Roller trunk (5.1),
is
default to hyphens but add a roller.properties setting allowing
admins to
revert to the 5.0.x and earlier default of underscores if they wish:
(For
simplicity and blog server consistency, I think this should be an
admin-only and not a blog-specific setting.)
# Roller 5.1 now separates words in blog URLs using hyphens.
# Enable below to revert to pre-5.1 underscore separators
rendering.use.underscore.separator=false
(better suggestions for property name welcome but it looks like this
particular property should be in the "rendering." section of the
prop file,
hence that prefix.)
Migrations from older Roller versions to Roller 5.1 will keep the
underscores for old blog entries (again, for simplicity & so links
to them
don't go dead) but use hyphens for new entries unless the above
property is
set to "true". (Anyone aware of other potential hiccups, i18n'ed
URLs
perhaps, with switching to hyphens?) WDYT?

Glen

Hello,
As the url in roller are made with underscore in it, Is there a way
so
that I can change that with dash. As for a new website it will be
difficult
as google also suggest for using URL with dashes rather than
underscore.
*Example**:* [1] to [2]
What will the best way to do this ? I was thinking of doing it in
urlrewrite or if possible I can change some lines in code.
[1] - www.yyy.com/blog/xyz/*test_blog
