Hi, you are absolutely right. Renaming the contracts from somename.ft to somename.contract.xml was required. Also I've replaced my pelt.fv and common.fv with pelt.structurer.xml and common.structurer.xml (from $FORREST_HOME/whiteboard/plugins/o.a.f.p.i.dispatcher/themer/themes). And the common folder is the fallback location for contracts so I don't have to move anything to another place. Now things go more or less fine. Building the static website still fails but at least $ forrest run works fine. I see that some of my customisations doesn't behave as before so further investigation is needed. So I'll probably come back to the list later (sorry for not being more forrest capable :-) As a side effect of the new filename extension of contracts it seems that the contracts functinality of the Mozilla Forrestbar is not working. Is this list the proper place for reporting that problem? >> >> PS: having a look to the Dispatcher quickstart page I've seen it still >> contains references to the >> core plugin so it seems to be outdated. > > Yeah, patches to update that page are highly welcome. ;) > salu2 > Indeed I'd like to write that patch but I'm afraid that my knowledge of dispatcher is not deep enough. However I don't discard doing it in the future. Thanks, Vicent -- Share what you know, learn what you don't.
