Hello,
I want to have some custom HTML below the left navigation bar in my
maven project site. I guess I have to make my own skin for that. Here's
what I've done so far:
1. Created a maven project based on maven-default-skin.
2. Copied all the resources (css and images) to reflect the structure
of maven-default-skin
3. Copied default-site.vm from doxia-site-renderer to
src/main/resources/META-INF/maven/site.vm (notice different name)
4. Added one <meta> tag in template to see if the template will be
picked up.
5. Changed one value in css to see if change will be picked up.
6. Created a jar
7. Installed in my local repo
8. In my project's site.xml I included this skin with <skin> tag
No luck. No documentation. Please don't redirect me to official site
(http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/). I don't want to go
there any more, it's scary.
Can someone please explain the procedure?
Regards,
Borut
the documentation is really bad, this list gives some clues, but still
got me nowhere.
Vance Karimi pravi:
Why not have {Project}/src/main/resources/META-INF/maven/site.vm.
When you package it, it will add the template correctly.

Ah, thanks Vance. I tried that before but my page still looked messed up.
But I found out what caused the whole thing.
The documentation only says to copy a existing skin and the
default-site.vmto make custom pages. It does not how-ever mention that
to create a working
page you also have to copy the CSS and image files inside the same doxia-
jar
that contained the default-site.vm.
Now a follow-up question, is it possible to add the template file to the
JAR
using a setting in the POM or do I have to create a Ant script for that?
Kind regards,
Roland

Managed to get this to work by putting the template within the skin jar
directory structure META-INF/maven and call it site.vm.

Hi,
I use a custom Velocity template to generate my site. Up until
yesterday
I
did it the "old fashioned" way by configuring the site plugin with
<templateFile>. Since this stopped working a while ago I tried to
create
my
own skin. Creating a skin worked fine, exactly as advertised at
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-site-plugin/creating-a-
skin.htmlexcept
for the template thingy.
Where do I put my custom Velocity template and what do I call it so
Maven
can use it together with my bright and shiny new skin? If I use the
old
way
the page gets all screwed up (which by the way is documented on the
site
plugin page).
How come the default template is in the Doxia plugin, shouldn't it be
located inside a skin?
Kind regards,
Roland
