Hi,

as this my first mail to the mailing list, a short introduction: Looking
for a good tool for my new homepage I came across forrest and liked both
the basic idea (similar to xweb (xweb.sourceforge.net) which I
considered before) and the quite advanced features. Using forrest 0.5.1
I created a first website which I used until recently. When asked to
create a website for a software project (conexp.sf.net, nothing there
yet) I found that some details of the configuration changed from 0.5.1
to 0.6. Noticing further that more changes are to come with the step
from 0.6 to 0.7 I decided to try 0.7-dev. If any of my problems stem
from using the development verstion, please tell me so. However, I was
not able to find any bug report or todo item concerning the difficulties
I encountered (then again, I am probably looking for the wrong
keywords). For testing I use the pelt skin, another one derived from
pelt.

I have some practical experience with Java, XML/XSLT and CSS. However,
as forrest brings all of those together I find it difficult to find out
where exactly the issue I want to solve comes from. Any hints on good
tools to track down CSS and XSLT issues are welcome.

Here the problem: (menus and menu-entries in the same menu)

A sketch of my site.xml:

<site tab="">
  <subcat label="Subcat" href="subcat/">
    <entry1 label="Entry1" href="entry1.html" tab="subcat"/>
    <entry2 label="Entry2" href="entry2.html" tab="subcat"/>
  </subcat>
  <contact label="Contact" href=""/>
</site>

Try something like this :

<site tab="home">
        <home label="Home" tab="home">
           <subcat label="Subcat" href="subcat/">
             <entry1 label="Entry1" href="entry1.html"/>
             <entry2 label="Entry2" href="entry2.html"/>
           </subcat>
           <contact label="Contact" href="contact.html"/>
        </home>
        
        <subcat label="Subcat" tab="subcat" href="subcat/">
             <entry1 label="Entry1" href="entry1.html"/>
             <entry2 label="Entry2" href="entry2.html"/>
        </subcat>
</site>

Using a tabs.xml like
<tabs>
 <tab id="" label="Main" dir=""/>
 <tab id="subcat" label="Subcat" dir="subcat"/>
</tabs>
You tabs.xml seems good...

What I expected were two menus like this:
Home+
   |-Subcat
   +Contact

(with "Subcat" and "Contact" being clickable, changing two the
corresponding subcategory/contact page) and

Subcat+
     |-Entry1
     +Entry2

However, I get

Home+
   |-Subcat+
           |-Entry1
           +-Entry2

(having Subcat as a dynamic menu, but not linked to the subcategory) and

Subcat+
     +-Subcat+
             |-Entry1
             +-Entry2

(duplicating unnecessarily the "Subcat" label).

Can please anyone tell me how to change the menus?

Thanks in advance,

heco

PS: Another problem were the <credits>-Tags. Not having them,
common/skinconf.xsl inserted a credit for Apache Forrest. However, the
comment in skinconf.xml says "Comment out the whole <credit>-element if
you want no credits in the web pages".

At the moment, the credits are only displayed in the index.html page - it is hard coded in skins but the problem is known...
You don't have this page...
