Once again I have time use forrest. I would like to create sites that don't look like they've been built from forrest.
The next generation of skinning (ie., dispatcher) looks perfect for that. My goals are to work through a completely custom layout, and then write up how I approached the design and construction of that layout. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get a dispatcher site to work. I've read the following thread in the mailing list: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=forrest-dev&m=114394781324160&w=2 I actually did the following in an attempt to get the dispatcher to work. 1) Checked out revision 390377 in a separate directory 2) Changed %FORREST_HOME% to that directory 3) cd to %FORREST_HOME\main 4) build 5) cd to ..\plugins\org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.pdf 6) %FORREST_HOME\tools\ant\bin\ant local-deploy 7) cd %FORREST_HOME%\whiteboard\plugins\org.apache.forrest.themes.core 8) %FORREST_HOME\tools\ant\bin\ant local-deploy 9) cd ..\org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.dispatcher 10) %FORREST_HOME\tools\ant\bin\ant local-deploy I made a new directory, did a forrest seed, and then added the appropriate plugins to the project.required.plugins line. I got the same error as in the thread: X [0] linkmap.html BROKEN: Could not resolve locationmap location. I tried the same steps with revision 393034 and ran into the same error. I tried a forrest run (revision 393034) and received an internal server error. I looked at the logs, and here are some of the lines: locationmap.log WARN [core.modules.mapper.lm] (/index.html;jsessionid=2bah361m8prkx): Locationmap did not return a location for hint dispatcher.structurer.resourceType.document-v20 WARN [core.modules.mapper.lm] (/index.html;jsessionid=2bah361m8prkx): Error reading from source 'lm://dispatcher.structurer.resourceType.document-v20': Could not resolve locationmap location.

I'll continue to study it however. Thoughts on the problem? I am running this on Windows/2000 Professional and jdk 1.5.0_04 Thanks, Mark __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
