However, that does not prove anything - that will just merge any
changes that we might have recently made. You said that you created
a new skin. I reckon that that is where the problem might be.
Would you please do the diff command described above.

Are you sure that you don't use a sitemap.xmap file? I remember long
discussions with you late last year on our dev list:
"Subject: "xml-fop Build Failed". It involved using special sitemap
matches to handle your special compliance2html document. IIRC you
had it in your local working copy, but it wasn't in the FOP CVS.
It would probably be at src/documentation/sitemap.xmap

If you don't have a project sitemap then great, we can rule that out
as a possible source of your FAQ ToC problem, and close FOR-507.

No that doesn't help. There is no difference between those and
the default forrest 0.6 core sitemaps. It was good to know that they
haven't been changed, but i wasn't actually talking about the
core sitemaps anyway, i was referring to a project-specific sitemap
(discussed above).

Is the following technically accurate as a proposed comment update for
skinconf.xml?  I also moved the "Forrest" section of colors to the top
of the block because having a "named" skin at the top was initially
misleading to me.  Anyway, just a thought.

Yes, this is true, we welcome patches for improvements once you 
understand things. Right now I'll try and help you get through the 
inadequate docs.



I would like to simply:
1) Try the available skins, to see how they look and how they vary so I 
can choose my favorite.


edit the forrest.properties file to set project.skin to the name of the 
skin you want to use.


or

forrest site -Dproject.skin=SKINNAME
(as is correctly suggested later in this thread by Tim Williams)


2) Customize the colors of the chosen skin.
This is not as simple or successful as I expected.  There seems to be 
inconsistent information on what skins are currently useable, and also 
the inclusion of their color tags in skinconf.xml.
a) The "available-skins" command gives out-of-date information : "crust, 
pelt, tigris"


We only actively support pelt. All other skins are either in development 
or deprecated, although some are still usable (you can find out what 
they are by looking in the skins directory of the distribution).


You comment above indicates that the list provided by availabl-skins is 
out of date, please raise an issue for us so we can remember to fix it 
for the upcoming 0.7 release.


b) When I asked for "crust" (no longer exists), the handler chooses a 
deprecated skin : "krysalis-site" , which in turn provokes a warning and 
a recommendation to use "pelt".


It should default to pelt, please add an issue about this too.

c) skinconf.xml has color tags for "krysalis", "Forrest", "Collabnet", 
"Lenya using pelt", but these are all either deprecated or not mentioned 
in the available and defaults lists. So how would I change the colors 
for, say, tigris (which does work for me)? How could I (easily) obtain 
the color tags to use the correct names and know the initial settings?


The sections in skinconf do not relate to a specific skin. They are used 
to create the CSS. The included sections are provided as examples.


If you want to experiment with the colours for tigris (for example) 
simple look at the class names you want to affect and add an appropriate 
entry to skinconf.


Also confusing for me, at [http://forrest.apache.org/0.7/docs.html] in 
the body it lists

0.6 - the current release
0.7 - the current development version

but in the menu under "Other>Overview" it lists
- 0.8-dev
- 0.7 (current)
- 0.6


Oooopa, this is a result of us being in the middle of preparing for the 
0.7 release (which is currently development).


Thanks for taking the time to highlight confusions with our docs. One of 
the hardest things for us to do is write docs that are useful to the 
newcomer. We have all been using Forrest for quite some time and don't 
often have to think about these issues. Your feedback is important.


It would be really useful, both to the devs and to subsequent newbies if 
you could provide a patch or suggested improvement to the docs as an 
issue once you fully grasp what we try to explain here. We'll happilly 
apply your improvements.

Re: How to Try Currently Useable Skins?

2005-05-26 Thread Tim Williams
Will the following not do what you want?
$> forrest site -Dproject.skin=krysalis-site

You'd have to rename the directory after each build if you wanted to
compare side by side.  I couldn't find a property to change the
build-directory on the command line but I don't doubt that it exists
too.

As for your number 2, skinconf.xml will allow you to customize most things.

Hello, I am Sjurs co-worker, and we continued our research on forrest i18n.

I tested the i18n features of forrest-0.7-dev, svn revision 106393, using the 
same method as described above, except that the index.xml file was renamed 
index_sme.xml. 

Using the same URL's as above I get the correct languages in both menus and 
documents, and an internal server error when specifying a non-existing 
locale.

So, the expected behavior would be if forrest behaves like the old svn version 
with regards to specifying a locale, and degrades gracefully if the requested 
locale does not exist, as in the new svn version.

Is it easy to fix, or should we open an issue in the bug tracker?

Perhaps there is a problem with your web server. When i request

To be clear, the last published time is taken from the LAST-MODIFIED

*should* be present, this is a config problem on your server.





As I said before, I have no control over the web server. But I'd like to

How to get it working is dependant on your server. I you want to do it 
in the generation of the pages search your skin files for 
document.write("Last Published: " + document.lastModified);


You could change the way this is generated, perhaps taking a value from 
skinconf. Not ideal as you will have to update skinconf each time you 
published, but at leat it would work if you can't get the last-modified 
header.



I glad to see this is helpful. I will continue working with 0.7-dev and
would let you know how it goes. BTW, understanding the menu generation

the list of files in the directory instead of the "index.html"

I wonder if this FAQ would address that issue:

This is a different issue, That FAQ is about changing the default page 
used if none is defined in the URL.  In this case the page to be used 
has been defined in the HREF and therefore should be included in the link.


However, I have never seen this before, and a fresh-seed site shows that 
this functionality works correctly. Do:


mkdir fresh
cd fresh
forrest seed
forrest run
http://localhost:/samples/linking.html#site

Note the links in this section, they correctly link to the named page, 
for example:


site:faq

generates the link:

http://localhost:/samples/faq.html


Do you have another element in your site.xml called "eventos", that 
could be getting in the way?


If you change the site.xml entry to href="eventos/testing.html"/> what is the resultant link?




4. You will notice that the date in the top right of the pages is
the current date/time as of the moment you click to see each page.
This is supposed to be the "Published" date instead! (I removed
the "Publicado", in Spanish, because it is simply not working).

The server serving the pages doesn't have Java available. Could this
be the reason why I get this weird behaviour?



Perhaps there is a problem with your web server. When i request
HEAD of that document, it shows that there is no "Last-Modified"
header in the response.


To be clear, the last published time is taken from the LAST-MODIFIED 
header, if it is not present the current date/time is used. Note that it 
*should* be present, this is a config problem on your server.


Once again, thanks for your feedback. Being made aware of these issues 
is how we try and make sure Forrest works for everyone as intended. 
Without this feedback the devs cannot do their job properly. For all 
those lurkers here, you can contribute to Forrest directly simply by 
providing feedback like this.

How to Try Currently Useable Skins?

2005-05-26 Thread Maurice Lanselle
I am learning to use Forrest v0.6.  I am very confused by the 
information on changing skins and skin properties, and I think there may 
be issues. I would like to simply:
1) Try the available skins, to see how they look and how they vary so I 
can choose my favorite.

2) Customize the colors of the chosen skin.

This is not as simple or successful as I expected.  There seems to be 
inconsistent information on what skins are currently useable, and also 
the inclusion of their color tags in skinconf.xml.
a) The "available-skins" command gives out-of-date information : "crust, 
pelt, tigris"
b) When I asked for "crust" (no longer exists), the handler chooses a 
deprecated skin : "krysalis-site" , which in turn provokes a warning and 
a recommendation to use "pelt".
c) skinconf.xml has color tags for "krysalis", "Forrest", "Collabnet", 
"Lenya using pelt", but these are all either deprecated or not mentioned 
in the available and defaults lists. So how would I change the colors 
for, say, tigris (which does work for me)? How could I (easily) obtain 
the color tags to use the correct names and know the initial settings?

Maurice


Docs I consulted :

- In the doc at 
http://forrest.apache.org/docs/your-project.html#skin-configuration it 
says to "edit the forrest.properties file to set 
project.skin=leather-dev or some other skin name." and provides a link to
- a list of default skins [http://forrest.apache.org/docs/skins.html]: 
pelt, leather-dev, tigris, and plain-dev. It says "krysalis-site" and 
"forrest-site" are old and deprecated.
- On the page Skin packages 
[http://forrest.apache.org/docs/skin-package.html], it says "To see the 
names of the remote skins: forrest available-skins". 



P.S
Also confusing for me, at [http://forrest.apache.org/0.7/docs.html] in 
the body it lists

0.6 - the current release
0.7 - the current development version

but in the menu under "Other>Overview" it lists
- 0.8-dev
- 0.7 (current)
- 0.6
