req for help on using the OO plug-in

Thu, 24 Nov 2005 04:29:34 -0800

I am a forrest user from pre-plugin days and am having a little trouble understanding how to use plugins – specifically getting the OpenOffice plugin to work in forrest 0.7. Seems like I must be missing something obvious -- any advice in getting over the hump would be appreciated.

 

Steps so far:

1. I’ve confirmed that the plugin is listed by running ‘forrest available-plugins’

2. I’ve added it to the plugin list in forrest.properties, as so:

 

project.required.plugins=org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.pdf,org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.OpenOffice.org

 

3. I’ve saved an .sxw document in my xdocs directory and added the item in site.xml (after the index) as so:

 

    <index label="Index" href="" description="Welcome to MyProj"/>

    <oo1 label="OOOne" href="" description="OpenOffice Sample 1"/>

 

The OOOne entry appears fine in the site TOC, but when I select it, instead of displaying the text as a page in my site I get a prompt asking if I want to open or save the document (which works, but was not the intent).

 

Any advice on how to get the .sxw doc to appear as a site page?   Thanks in advance...
