Hi Reinier,

This wiki page [1] will give you more information on extending the cms,
and the extensions-directory.

You can specifically point to a folder or pipeline in the extensions by
using extensions://. So for example of you want to use a pipeline in the
extensions/myxinha-folder you can use extensions://myxinha/resources/etc

In the URL you can point to it by using
http://localhost:<port>/extensions/myxinha/etc

Regards,
Steven

Subject: Re: [HippoCMS-dev] Xinha questions

Hi Steven, Jasja, or anyone else,

Sorry for the delay but other activities came in between.
Finally got back to try the suggestions made. They didn't work so I made
an effort to understand how things work and what your suggestions are
trying to achieve. Below my findings.
It is very likely that I missed something, so I'd appreciate any help or
an alternative solution that does work.


As I understand, to achieve what I want, I need to replace the Xinha
that is part of the standard CMS editor 
distribution. The CMS frame loads the script using the URL
"/cforms/resources/xinha/htmlarea.js".
So all we need to do is convince cocoon to serve my Xinha instead of the
standard one.

The suggestion Jasha gives does not do this. This mechanism is used in
our project, but with the purpose to customise 
Xinha (which buttons are present, etc) and still relies on the standard
Xinha to be loaded.
I guess I could use this method to load another Xinha together with the
old, hoping it will overwrite the standard 
definitions. Or would I need to change all names in Xinha??
Didn't seem a very neat solution, so I dropped it.

Steven suggests to put my Xinha in extensions/project-specific/...

First problem is that I do not have an extensions/project-specific
directory. The "project-specific" setup is referenced 
in a few forum messages, but I haven't found any real explanation.
Just creating this directory and sitemap doesn't do it.
Going through the site/sitemap etc. I found that one can set
cms.project-specific.sitemap in (eg) build.properties.
But when I set this to cocoon://extensions/project-specific/sitemap.xml,
logical choice (?), it still doesn't give me my 
Xinha.

Which makes sense since if I look at the site/sitemap I see that
project-specific is only used on URLs starting with 
project-specific. So urls like http://localhost:<port>//project-specific
should get me into the sitemap I configured.
Which seems to work although I do get the odd error message:
        The current URI
(/project-specific/cforms/resources/xinha/htmlarea.js) doesn't start
with given prefix (project-specific)
So clearly I am doing something wrong.
But anyway the goal was to have cocoon serve something different on the
old URL, which I don't think this will do.

Since we are replacing standard functionality I also looked at the
instructions at:
        http://www.hippocms.org/display/CMS/Overriding+core+CMS+code
I created extensions/cforms/overrides.xmap, moved Xinha in etc., but
that didn't work either.
I found that site/sitemap has an explicit pipeline matching
cforms/resources/** so it never looks at the override 
possibility (which is all the way at the bottom of the sitemap).


Thanks,

Reinier
