Hi all!
I'm trying to customize the xthml Sample Page for my publication. In 1.4
the sample page is nicely packaged within the xthml module. Is there an
overwrite/fallback way to have a publication specific xthml sample?
[stage lights, curtain.]
[enter fallback, to pompous music.]
in your publication's root directory, create a directory tree
"lenya/modules/xhtml/samples/"
in there, place a file xhtml.xml with your desired sample content. you
should probably base it on the one in the core.
in all sitemaps that come with lenya, most resources should be addressed
with the fallback:// uri, i.e. the xhtml module sitemap will access the
sample as fallback://lenya/modules/xhtml/samples/xhtml.xml instead of
"context://lenya/modules/xhtml/...". the fallback source resolver will
now first look in your publication for this path and file, then in the
template, the template's template, ..., and finally in the core.
using this mechanism, you can selectively customize stuff without having
to rewrite entire modules. neato :)
the general technique is to mimic the part of the directory tree from
build/lenya/webapp you want to override. (again, this depends on the
core sitemaps using fallback:// for the particular resource). so if it
does not work, check the sitemaps and possibly file a bug.
best,
jörn
