Trying to get the S5-Plugin to work I have a few questions that I found no answer to in the list.
1. Why is it not delivered to the plugin dir when I check out Forrest sources?
It uses some code that is GPL'd and therefore cannot be distributed with Forrest.
After some trying I realized that I had to configure it as a plugin, run Forrest to have it downloaded, then look at the forrest\build\plugins branch to find plugin and docs. Is this supposed to be like that?
Yes, and no.
The "configure as a plugin" part is as intended - see http://forrest.apache.org/docs/dev/plugins/usingPlugins.html#How+is+a+Plugin+Installed%3F
The documentation side of things is still a work in progress (scheduled for the 0.7 release). The forrest website will have documentation for all approved plugins i.e. those that appear in the plugins.xml file hosted by Forrest. A freshly seeded site will have a summary of all the available plugins.
2. How to I make the plugin kick in?
Looking at the S5-docs directory I only see a normal link to manual.html. But if I copy that to my S5-enabled site, no slide-show appears.
And a forrest run doesn't seem to work in the plug-ins root.
3. How to I combine it with the OO-Plugin to show Impress slides.
Any pointers would be much appreciated
I just checked the plugin zip and notice that it has not been updated to the new directory structure. To see the docs do:
cd FORREST_HOME/build/plugins/s5/docs forrest run
