Including HTML
Hello,
I am trying to include several auto generated HTML files with embedded
CSS styles into Forrest. I have exhausted my try-repeat cycle. Mind
that changing this HTML is not an option.
First I tried to
map:pipelines
map:pipeline
map:match pattern="news/**.html"
map:select type="exists"
map:when test="{project:content}{1}.html"
map:read src=""
mime-type="text/html"/
/map:when
/map:select
/map:match
...
so that Forrest would leave anything in the news directory with html
extension as is. My news directory is located at
%SEED_HOME%\src\documentation\content\xdocs\interseek\sheme\news
It does not work, as HTML is rendered differently - corrupted. Next I
tried to add those external HTML file's embedded CSS to skinconf.xml
like this:
.textElement { font-family: Courier New; font-size:
9pt; color: #80; }
.textAttr { font-family: Courier New; font-size: 9pt; color:
#FF; }
[more elements follow]
Nothing happened. Next I tried to load the document with class="fork"
and class="jump". Again nothing. I did stop the server in between the
tries.
The best would be if this external HTML could be displayed in the main
area with its own added styles. How can I do this, if at all possible?

You could try reading the documentation ;-) http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/faq.html#rawTML Using the search box on our web site is a great help, try searching for include html, hit number one is the above FAQ entry. I'm not sure if this solution will do what you want because you don't say whther you want the page skinned or not, but looking at the pipeline you tried you don't want skinnning, so the above should be ideal.

Re: Including HTML
Hi Ross, I thought I did the impression of reading the docs by including exactly this section in my question you are pointing me at. As I am new to Forrest, I guess skinning means chewing my HTML which was supposed to be swallowed. I'll try a couple of more cycles...

Do the following:
mkdir seed
cd seed
forrest fresh-site
forrest
http://localhost:/samples/linking.html#Serving+%28X%29HTML+content+without+Skinning
You will see a more complete description (and an example) of how to do
it there.

Re: Including HTML
Hello,
we must be running different versions. I am using 0.7.
Section 2.17. How can I include HTML content that is not to be skinned
by Forrest? at http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/faq.html#rawTML has
an error - this XML excerpt is not well-formed. (map:select closing
element name expected)
File sitemap.xmap generated by "forrest seed" includes exactly what I
posted, except for the name of the directory (I used "news" instead of
"old_site"). So yes, it is nothing like what is in the FAQ entry. The
doc example (Section 2.17) has different test case
test="{project:content}{0}"
in comparison with my sitemap.xmap
test="{project:content}{1}.html"
I don't know (yet) what that means for my problem, but I am just
stating the difference.
Also, I don't think there is fresh-site target in 0.7. Now, I just
tried with the first test, but it does not work for me, I guess the
directory with HTML which must not be skinned and displayed in the main
area must reside in some special location??? Maybe the match pattern
isn't right?

Borut

You are mistaken. What you quoted in your mail was:
map:pipelines
map:pipeline
map:match pattern="news/**.html"
map:select type="exists"
map:when test="{project:content}{1}.html"
map:read src=""
mime-type="text/html"/

Which is nothing like what is in the FAQ entry I linked to:

Do you want it skinned or not, you still haven't made that clear. The
above FAQ is to include *unskinned* docs. If you want it skinned then
there is nothing special you need to do (see the example in a freshly
seeded site).
If you want skinned content you should be aware of this known issue:
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-394

No, as my subsequent mail said, I was being stupid and not reading my
own docs properly - I'm rushing too much today, sorry.
Hopefully my subsequent pointer to more docs helps.

Thanks, I'll fix that.

Another symptom of my rushing I should have said forrest seed.

No, but it does need to be where you tell Forrest to look...
Maybe the match pattern isn't right?
It is not...
map:pipelines
map:pipeline
map:match pattern=news/**.html
map:select type=exists
map:when test={project:content}{1}.html
map:read src={project:content}{1}.html mime-type=text/html/
/map:when
/map:select
/map:match
This match will look for the content in content/news/**.html, you stated
it was somewhere else in your original post (can't remember where), so
your {project:content}{1}.html needs to be modified to point at the
right location.
I am assuming your request URL is something like
domain.org/news/myNews.html if not then your match attribute is also
incorrect.
