Hi all,
I'm new in Jetspeed and I would like to customize the templates for my
application. I read the documentation, but I have not understood.
Do I have to change the templates in the Jetspeed installation? Or,
can I
create another .war (web application) with new templates?
The second case would be perfect for me.
Tks
Layouts are implemented as portlets, so they must be packaged up and
deployed like
any other portlet.
I'm sorry to say but the solution is not in as clear of a state as we
would like to it to be.
If you want to write your own layouts distribution:
1. in the jetspeed-portlet.xml of your war file, tell Jetspeed that
its a layout application
<js:metadata name="layout-app">true</js:metadata>
See the XSD here:
http://portals.apache.org/jetspeed-2/2.1/schemas/jetspeed-portlet.xsd
2. The name of your war file must have the prefix "jetspeed-"
This will tell Jetspeed that it is a local application
3. You will need to deploy it to the WEB-INF/deploy directory
4. You have to copy in the templates yourself. We currently do not
support putting
templates in the war file. This is the part that is bad IMO.
Templates must be copied into the WEB-INF/templates/layout/html
directory
I don't think it will take much to copy them over during
deployment from the WAR file
Problem is we don't have a lot of time to get this done for the
upcoming release
Recommend creating a JIRA issue, and, if you have time,
implementing it...
An even better solution would be to store the templates in the
WAR, and not
ever copy them over to WEB-INF/templates
