The main page is static html: ~hcoop/public_html/Makefile generates the sites by calling a script: - `hcoop_html' cats /etc/hcoop.header, the page body, and /etc/hcoop.footer together The header just contains a basic <html><head>...<body><h1>$TITLE</h1> ... And the footer closes the <body> and document. We are most certainly *not* tied to doing things this way--I suspect the static site is generated this way as a quick hack. I copied hcoop.{header,footer} into ~hcoop/public_html so that you can view them. The domtool manual (http://hcoop.net/domtool/) is automatically generated by domtool itself. It does, however, use the same css as the main site so any style improvements to that would apply to the domtool manual automatically. If needed I can adjust the code that generates the domtool manual to produce html more amenable to any changes to the style. The portal uses MLT which just embeds SML into HTML ala PHP. http://wiki.hcoop.net/DaemonAdmin/Portal has some information on how it works--I've only done minimal work on the portal so far and I'll have to get back to you on the specifics of restyling it. I CCed bpt--at one point he did hack together a static mockup of a new interface for the portal so he may be able to assist. That's the gist of it, I'll start working on a wiki page with more details soon. -- "Karen loved animals. Unfortunately the cheetahs betrayed her trust," Libot said.
