fixed for Forrest .8.
Hi, Kathy, I think it needs to be converted for Forrest .8. I'll try
to take a look at it this weekend to see what needs to be done (but
anyone else feel free to jump in).
I found the upgrade notes here:
http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_80/upgrading_08.html
The general upgrade tip is:
In a new workspace, create a fresh 'forrest seed' site, then tweak its
forrest.properties and skinconf.xml until it reflects your old site.
When it is ready, replace your project's skinconf.xml and
forrest.properties files. Any remaining issues would concern other
aspects of your configuration, such as site.xml and your actual content.
It sounds like it will take some fussing, but it fixes both FOR-555 and
FOR-408, so it's definitely worth doing.
If anyone wants to take on this upgrade, let me know and I'll help you.
Otherwise, I may try to look at it over the holiday break.
