I mean this document: http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_80/org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.dispatcher/how/howto-dispatcher-quickstart.html > The current, but perhaps out-of-date, document is in the plugin's docs. > Do this: > cd whiteboard/plugins/org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.dispatcher > forrest run > http://localhost:8888/how/howto-dispatcher-quickstart.html > I've done it but I get a "Resource not found error". Anyway I've found the xml version of the document and the content seems to correspond to the document I mention above. The document talks about an org.apache.forrest.themes.core plugin that I'm unable to find and also about a pelt.fv file in that plugin, so I am lost. > (Patches welcome :-) > I wish I was able to patch it :-) Thanks once more for your help. > I am hoping that someone who knows more can help you with > the rest, e.g. Thorsten, Cyriaque, Brian, etc. > > -David > >> The current structure of my website is as follows (best >> read with a monospace font): >> >> forrest >> |-forrest.properties >> |-forrest.properties.dispatcher.properties >> |-forrest.properties.xml >> |-build >> |-src >> |-documentation >> |-Readme.txt >> |-sitemap.xmap >> |-skinconf.xml >> |-classes >> |-conf >> |-translations >> |-content >> | |-xdocs >> | |-site.xml >> | |-tabs.xml >> | |-index.xml >> | |-files and folders with the website content >> |-resources >> |-images >> |-schema >> |-structurer >> | |-url >> | |-screenshots >> | |-index.structurer.xml (customize the html view of the >> screenshots/index.html page) >> | >> |-stylesheets >> |-themes >> |-common >> | |-html >> | |- a bunch of customized contracts >> |-pelt >> | |-css >> | |-images >> | |-panels >> | |-pelt-css.panel.xml >> | |-pelt-html.content.panel.xml >> | |-pelt-html.footer.panel.xml >> | |-pelt-html.head.panel.xml >> | |-pelt-html.header.panel.xml >> | |-pelt-html.leftbar.panel.xml >> | |-pelt-html.nav-main.panel.xml >> | |-pelt-html.panel.xml >> | |-pelt-html.screeshots_head.panel.xml (used in >> | index.structurer.xml) >> |-common.structurer.xml >> |-pelt.structurer.xml >> >> The content of the $THEMES folder has been copied from >> $FORREST_HOME/whiteboard/plugins/org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.dispatcher/themer/themes >> in order to customise (adding/removing contracts or using my own contracts) >> how website pages are rendered. >> The $STRUCTURER folder allows to customize a given page differently to the >> bulk of pages. >> >> The above hierarchy worked in the past (when 0.9 was the development >> version) but currently it fails with both 0.9 stable and 0.10 development >> versions: >> - with 0.9 version I get the error explained in one of my previous mails >> (Subject: Building my website with forrest 0.9.
