Forrest is not a CMS of any description it is an XML publishing framework, see our home page. is it Forrest a good option for an intranet where people from different areas place their own content and files? As I said earlier in the thread 0.8-dev does facilitate this but 0.7 does not. The code is pretty solid/stabel. I use it extensively in a production environment pulling content from SVN (via http), Daisy (via the Diay plugin in Whiteboard) and the local filesystem. Ross
Re: intranet environment
Does Forrest give a collaborative environment like Twiki, for example? Maybe I am in the wrong place, is it Forrest a good option for an intranet where people from different areas place their own content and files? 2005/8/22, David Crossley <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hugo Osorio wrote:> Thank you for your response !>> so, is there another option?, i am afraid of facing a release which is in> development, i need something quick and easy.. i am building an intranet, I > need people easily to put data/content onto the server, in order to be> published for our 'local area network' only>> The environment for this, i suppose, is Forrest CMS in this case, Cocoon the > basis, Tomcat, but, i need to have cleared how people can put their own> content on the forrest-project (which is in another machine (FreeBSD)) by> themselves.>> thank you for your guidance, it is quite valuable As a workaround, you could use 'wget' ior 'rsync' to retrieveeach document from the remote CMS server and store it on thelocal server where forrest can access it by its normal means.-David

These are the reasonably options. Others exist but they would be even more risky as they would need development and also have never been tested. If I were in your shoes I'd go with 3 although I probably shouldn't be advocating such an approach. --tim > > > > 2005/8/16, Ross Gardler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > Hugo Osorio wrote: > > > Hello. > > > > > > somebody please can give me an orientation > > > > > > is it proper using Forrest with Slide Jakarta? am i well oriented at the > > > idea of having both of them for an intranet environment, i have forrest > > > installed on a FreeBSD platform, working with tomcat, i have understood > > > that i need Jakarta in order to people can put an remove data on/from > > > the "server" Forrest via Slide which support WebDAV protocol... > > > > In order to have Forrest retrieve its content from a slide repository > > (or any repository other than the local filesystem) you will need to use > > the 0.8-dev version of Forrest. this includes a new facility called > > the locationmap > (http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_80/locationmap.html ) > > > > This code works and has been tested with a slide repository, but is not > > yet in a released verion of Forrest so you'll need to work with SVN or > > one of our nightly snapshots. > > > > Ross > > > >
Re: intranet environment
Thank you for your response ! so, is there another option?, i am afraid of facing a release which is in development, i need something quick and easy.. i am building an intranet, I need people easily to put data/content onto the server, in order to be published for our 'local area network' only The environment for this, i suppose, is Forrest CMS in this case, Cocoon the basis, Tomcat, but, i need to have cleared how people can put their own content on the forrest-project (which is in another machine (FreeBSD)) by themselves. thank you for your guidance, it is quite valuable 2005/8/16, Ross Gardler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Hugo Osorio wrote:> Hello.>> somebody please can give me an orientation>> is it proper using Forrest with Slide Jakarta? am i well oriented at the> idea of having both of them for an intranet environment, i have forrest > installed on a FreeBSD platform, working with tomcat, i have understood> that i need Jakarta in order to people can put an remove data on/from> the "server" Forrest via Slide which support WebDAV protocol... In order to have Forrest retrieve its content from a slide repository(or any repository other than the local filesystem) you will need to use the 0.8-dev version of Forrest. this includes a new facility called the locationmap (http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_80/locationmap.html )This code works and has been tested with a slide repository, but is not yet in a released verion of Forrest so you'll need to work with SVN orone of our nightly snapshots.Ross
