Hello Warrell and Ross,
(ps I am done writing this mail, but before performing all the steps
you
might want to read the end of the mail. While writing this mail, I
started to realize how much you are required to do manually if you
want
to add it to the binary version. Perhaps we at Hippo should be able to
release a binary version with the hcamanager included...WDOT? )
I'll try to summarize all needed steps (though I did not run it
myself...hopefully I have all. Also note that IMHO building the cms
yourself is much easier, certainly because quite some properties
need to
be set)
First of all the folder structure should look like:
hippo-cms-v6.05.01
|-- ...
|-- cocoon
|-- sites
| |-- hippo-cms
| `-- hippo-cms-hcamanager
|-- ...
`-- ...
Now, you also need to do :
1) hippo-cms-v6.05.01/cocoon/WEB-INF/classes a file
persistence.properties. See [1] for this file, only without the values
filled in (this is normally done during a maven build from the
project.properties). You will need to fill in every property between
'@'
and '@'
2) you need to add to hippo-cms-v6.05.01/cocoon/WEB-INF/spring the
file
at [2] (properties do not need to be filled in, so exact copy is fine)
3) In hippo-cms-v6.05.01/cocoon/WEB-INF/cocoon.xconf you need to add
at
the level '/cocoon/source-factories' an extra source-factory:
<component-instance
class="nl.hippo.cocoon.source.impl.ExtensionsSourceFactory"
name="hcamanager">
<cms-extensionspath>../hippo-cms-hcamanager/</cms-extensionspath>
</component-instance>
also at /cocoon/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'globalconstants'] add (or if
already present fill in correct value) :
<cms-hcamanagerpath>../hippo-cms-hcamanager/</cms-hcamanagerpath>
4) In hippo-cms-v6.05.01/cocoon/WEB-INF/lib : remove some jars
according
maven.xml [3] from hcamanager:
<ant:include name="geronimo-spec-activation-*.jar"/>
<ant:include name="geronimo-spec-javamail-*.jar"/>
<ant:include name="spring-mock-1.1.4.jar"/>
<ant:include name="spring-1.1.4.jar"/>
<ant:include name="jdo-1.0.1.jar"/>
and add some new ones:
hippo-community-app-2.01.01.jar
activation-1.1
javamail-1.3.3.jar
quartz-1.5.2.jar
jpox-1.1.7.jar
jpox-dbcp-1.1.7.jar
jpox-springframework-1.1.3.jar
jdo2-api-2.0.jar
jta-1.0.1.jar
spring-2.0.jar
spring-dao-2.0.jar
spring-jdo-2.0.jar
spring-mock-2.0.jar
and probably some others as well, but you can find this back in the
project.xml [4] of the hcamanager:
5) Now, you should be able to add the parts to components.xml like
<view
src="hcamanager://perspectives/dashboard/views/mailing-profiles/
componen
t.xml"/>
<view
src="hcamanager://perspectives/dashboard/views/mailgroups/
component.xml"
/> <!-- added in version 2.01.00 -->
<view
src="hcamanager://perspectives/dashboard/views/newslettertypes/
component
.xml"/>
<view
src="hcamanager://perspectives/dashboard/views/mailings/
component.xml"/>
<view
src="hcamanager://perspectives/dashboard/views/poll/component.xml"/>
<!-- added in version 2.01.00 -->
But, to be honest, I really doubt wether I have been able to write
down
every needed step, and building the hcamanager with cms from source is
really much easier then following these steps (because I doubt we
get it
working easily, and....you would need to do it again for every deploy,
while creating a cms extension, and add the hcamanager and hippo-cms
as
svn:external, you can reuse it every time, and when from the cms or
hcamanager a new release is done, you only need to update the
svn:external and run 'maven clean cocoon:deploy' or 'maven clean
cocoon:install' ). It is really not hard, see [5].
Hopefully I helped you out,
Regards Ard

Thanks Ard,
Yep, you have summed up the situation very well. I have tried
putting in the dashboard redirects (for want of a better
phrase) but I get the same errors as when I first modified
the dashboard component.xml
I will give it another go now I know where hcamanager 'lives'
Cheers

Hello Warrell and Ross,
I think hcamanager folder would not end beneath the
hippo-cms folder,
but next to it. I am not sure if you have experience with the
'extensions' folder to customize your cms, but the hcamanager works
like the cms would in an extended cms (with svn external).
Normally,
you would create your own cms project, and add the cms and
hcamanager
as svn externals.
But clearly, you want to use the binary dist of the cms.
Afterwards, I
suppose you want to add parts like
<view
src="hcamanager://perspectives/dashboard/views/mailing-profiles/
compon
en
t.xml"/>
<view
src="hcamanager://perspectives/dashboard/views/mailgroups/comp
onent.xml"
/> <!-- added in version 2.01.00 -->
<view
src="hcamanager://perspectives/dashboard/views/newslettertypes/

nt

<view
src="hcamanager://perspectives/dashboard/views/mailings/
component.xml"
/>
<view
src="hcamanager://perspectives/dashboard/views/poll/component.xml"/>
<!-- added in version 2.01.00 -->
see [1]
From the top of my head, I do not know the exact steps how
to achieve
this, but I'll try to find the steps to perform and let you
know the
result (or if somebody has performed this operation before,
feel free
to post the answer :-) )

Hi,
I am trying to add Hippo Community Apps to a binary install.
I asume that hcamanager cocoon webapp sits in the directory tree
beneath hippo-cms :-
/hippo/hippo-cms-v6.05.01/sites/hippo-cms/hcamanager
Unfortunately, the component.xml isn't found. I have a working
knowledge of how to modify the dashboard configuration
gained from
removing the permissions menu item for some users. The confidence
gained from that exercise has led me to try and 'bolt-on' HCA. I
have built the maven projects for the java components and
am using a
MySql repository already so I was hoping it would be
possible (and
very educational) to add HCA to a running binary install.
I have modified the component.xml to add in the view but
my install
can't resolve :-
classSource="/hcamanager/js/mailingprofiles.js" although
I have put
the directory there. Do I need to modify one of the sitemaps. Any
help gratefully accepted.
Regards
Warrell
