http://f.a.o/docs_0_70/ will refer to the documentation for Forrest V0.7
http://f.a.o/docs_0_80/ will refer to the documentation for Forrest V0.8

There will no longer be the current version at f.a.o/docs/

Assuming that FOR-544 goes ahead:

We are in a code freeze. This looks like a non-essential commit to me.
Should it be reverted?



I don't profess to know anything about i18n, but part of this commit
looks like a bugfix (skins/common/messages/ = /translations/). 
The remainder looks like an efficiency issue, which might be relevant.

Please explain a bit more Cheche.


sure,
there are two issues:

1) (skins/common/messages/ = /translations/)

The new directory to keep the commomMessages_{language}.xml is under 
skins/commons/translations so it the same as the project language files 
that are under {project.home}/src/documentation/translations


2) I18nTransformer that was added for the skins messages did not check 
if a i18n property was set to true, so in the case that you are building 
a English site within a foreigner locale, then the messages would be 
translated which is wrong.

[Testing 0.7rc1] Possible troubles with simplified-docbook plugin

2005-06-16 Thread Ron Blaschke
I haven't had time to dig into this in detail, but I hope someone
familiar with plugins will help me fill in the missing pieces.

I tried to build some site with the new 0.7rc1, which contains
simplified docbook documents.  The site built successfully, but the
pages were empty (shouldn't this fail?).

Anyway, I added the simplified-docbook plugin to forrest.properties,
and ran forrest init-plugins, which failed with:

...
check-plugin:
org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.simplified-docbook is not available in the 
build dir
...
ERROR
=

Unable to retrieve the org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.simplified plugin.
There may be more information about the reason for this in output
...

My current guess is that the name simplified-docbook collides with
the versioned plugins naming, so that docbook is interpreted as a
version number, and there is no plugin simplified.

 With Forrest 0.6 I encountered a problem during the creation of a pdf-file 
 that is aggregated from a group of documents:
 All my graphics are in project-dir]/src/documentation/resources/images (and 
 its subdiretories). Now if I use figure-elements in these documents the 
 graphics are not displayed in the aggregated pdf-file. If I use 
 img-elements everything's ok.
 As far as I can see this problem is located in
 src/core/context/resources/stylesheets/aggregates/doc2doc-uniqueids.xsl:
 Around line 45 the follwoing template is defined:
 xsl:template match=section/document//figure|img[starts-with(@src,

 even the figure-elements are displayed.

Thanks for testing. Yes i get that too.




I don't see that behaviour in today's trunk (r190851).
So i presume that it is fixed.



No it is not fixed. The plugins/index.html file is generated from the 
plugins.xml file in the plugins directory. This has not been included in 
the build and so it is missing. It works with trunk because you have it 
checked out.


I will alter the build file so that the plugins subdirectory, the 
plugins.xml, the build.xml and the plugin-template are all present in 
the distribution. This will allow users to build plugins.



Hmmm... correction (I had guessed this was the problem)...

In actual fact *all* plugins files *except* the ones needed were being 
copied into the distribution.


The plugin source files should not be in the distribution, but instead 
should be downloaded on demand by Forrest.


I've created a small patch (see attached) for the build file that 
exludes all plugins except the PDF output plugin (since ths is enabled 
by default on a new site) and includes the missing files that caused the 
above problem.


I will apply this patch tomorrow AM (GMT) assuming that nobody casts a -1

The six documents are generated twice (for docs_0_70 and docs_0_60) so that is 
12 extra minutes on the build time. I will move these docs up to the top-level

As a workaround for this PDF issue, created a project sitemap and added 
generated PDFs to the /dtdx/ directory. The project sitemap will serve these

 It does bug me that the docs regarding plugin sitemaps aren't
 consistent with the release but I'm not sure if it's too late to fix
 this or not?

If someone can send a patch to the docs in the current trunk,
then we can add it before packing rc2 (about 17 hours remain).
Note: do 'svn update' first because the docs have moved to
xdocs/pluginDocs/plugins_0_70/

 -- Tools tab
 This (XXE) was kind of strange.  Why is this particular xml editor
 singled out?  I've never seen this tool before and it comes across (my
 perception at least) as if it's endorsed by Forrest some how.  Maybe
 I'm missing something but this seem weird to me.

No favouritism or endorsement. Just that that tool has ways to
configure it to improve the editing of our xml docs. If anyone has
supporting bits-and-pieces for other tools, then we can add them too.
I added a note to xxe.xml to try to explain that.

 Anyway, great job on the RC guys...
