Hi, I thought I'd ask this again, in case my message got lost over the weekend. The Manakin theme tutorial on the wiki suggests a few alternative methods for including static pages in a DSpace site using XMLUI. I have attempted to use option 1, which involves modifying the template.xsl for the theme to pull in static content. I have not been successful in getting this to work. Even if I did manage to get the content to appear in the body of the site, I believe I'll need to duplicate the same logic in order to change the title attribute for the page (which, if you follow the example code, gets set by the system to "page not found").
So, what I'm interested in trying now is option 2: "2. Cocoon-based method. You could use cocoon to check the url right after the generation step, and then add in your own static DRI page. This method requires that all your static pages be expressed as DRI and then transformed into HTML by your standard theme templates. This method is useful if you will have lots of static pages that need to be managed, but requires modifying the cocoon sitemap.xmap" Has anyone tried this successfully? I'd love to see an example or two. Would someone be interested in sharing one with me, or with the list? If anyone does have an example, I will commit to adding it to the wiki, once I've got the code working. Thanks! --Hardy > -----Original Message----- > From: Pottinger, Hardy J.
