The last time I looked at the product I stumbled over the navigation issue,
and never progressed much further than that. I am willing to put in the work
to get it up and running, but without documentation I think it is going to
be an impossibility.
If you're starting then the only bit out of Brendan's tutorial to look at is the customising of the templates. Everything else is extending farcry...
I'd suggest getting the basics up and running, w/o buggering round with custom types, custom admin, extending core types etc etc.
Some suggestions to getting you 90% of the way there:
- Customise the templates
- Add some news and html pages
- Add a container to a template and then use the standard rules to pull in some content
- Add some css objects into the site tree and use the importCSS custom tag
- Get familiar with the tree API. The best way to do this is to just change dmHTML's main display template (displaypageStandard.cfm). Do a <cfdump var="#application.factory.otree#"> and <cfdump var="#stobj#"> and try calling some of the otree functions (such as getDescendents and getBloodline). You can use the custom tag off my website to turn that query into a nested <ul> structure for navigation.
If you have any questions with any of the above then just post to the list. Shouldn't take more than a day to get through... and afterwards you'll have enough confidence and know enough to then move on to a full fledged farcry website.
