Dear Cocoon users
We would like to invite you to view our newly released website based on cocoon2 and
turbine at the URL below.
http://www-eng.tp.edu.sg
A brief about the web site and CMS system.
We have built a Content Management System(CMS) for over 60++ content publishers using
Jakarta Turbine for the admin module to organise/manage their web pages. Turbine also
provide the access control portion. Velocity was used to develop the screens for CMS.
Users use MS Word to prepare their documents/content. These pages are then uploaded
by CMS from the desktop to the server. At the server we use logitran to translate the
MS Word document into a temp XML format. We then use Cocoon to translate it into a
predefined XML format. Display templates are then used to generate HTML pages for the
browser under Cocoon.
The configuration is such that the CMS system is sitting on one server where all the
publisher will use it to prepare and preview their web pages. Once confirmed/approved
the approved pages would then be replicated to the producton/live server.
The CMS system is running on a Win2000 adv svr,logitran 5.4.5, apache web svr, tomcat
3.2.2 and mysql, turbine 2.0, velocity and Cocoon 2 beta 1. The live system is
running on a Win2000 Adv server(Compaq 1GHZ twin CPU server w/1GB RAM), on Apache web
svr, Tomcat 3.2.2, MySQL, Cocoon 2 beta 1 and Turbine 2.0.
We have had many challenges in getting the system up and would like to Thank the many
people in this newsgroup and Turbine who have been helping me and Kok Choon. Many
Thanks also to David from Logitran. We hope that this announcement would inspire
others to have the confidence to use Cocoon under a live environment.(our website
currently have 400 pages....not bad for a start) The real benefit is that the
lecturers now can conveniently use MS Word to prepare the content and our system
using Cocoon&Turbine takes care of the rest. No more HTML or waiting for the web
programer to punch out the code. A big Thank You to the Cocoon and Turbine Gang.
The workis not over yet. Other than enhancements we are having some problems. Any
assistance would be much appreciated of course:-
1)Netscape support for Cocoon. Kok Choon is having problem getting his java script to
work with his Cocoon generated code.
The sympton is as follows. point your netscape to www-eng.tp.edu.sg
1. First time connection to the website using netscape 4.78, sidebar function does
not work. You will have to reload the frame.
2. After refreshing, the sidebar appears, but the content window will be filled with
funny chars shaped like little square boxes replacing the text content. Of course, if
you copy these square boxes and paste into notepad, the actual text does appear!
According to our programmer, Kok Choon , the web pages rendered in Cocoon is not
supported by Netscape 4.78.
I find this hard to believe since Cocoon is from the open source community! Any
inputs from anyone?
2)we are encountering some performance issue due the model of elements used in
Turbine. (Turbine groups are used to model the folder, web pages hierarchy) Any Gurus
out there who would like to discuss this plse contact me.
Any assistance on how to fix issue this would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advanced for all your kind help... Attached are the 2 style sheets used in
the aggregation of the web page.
Rgds,
