Static content

[Nigel Hardy <nw...@aber.ac.uk>]

I have been using 0.7 for a while but have just come up against the need 
to use static material. On paper I like the changes between 0.6 and 0.7 
but I find a development problem - perhaps it's me.

I am using the model of placing pages in src/documentation/content/ 
because I do not want them skinned. I then loose the ability to use 
"forrest run" for development (the links are broken - perhaps 
understandably). More significantly, if I use "forrest site" I get 
"BROKEN:" reports. These reports are not "true" (since the site is then 
complete) but they cause the build to fail.

Is my understanding correct. Are there ways round this?

(The other model - putting pages in src/documentation/content/xdocs to 
be skinned - works fine but I have legacy material in xml schemas I 
don't have, or want to write, input plugins for. Some of it I also 
specifically do not want skinned).

Thanks for this. No, I had not followed them because I was trying to 
move forward and was attracted by the new model which seems to me to be 
a better one. The final result I get from the new model is good. It's 
just the development issue of having failures reported when the site is, 
in fact, coherent.

Have you followed the instructions?
http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_70/upgrading_07.html#raw

There are also more instructions in a 'forrest seed site'
and its example project sitemap.xmap shows how.
i.e. at:
http://forrest.zones.apache.org/ft/build/forrest-seed/samples/linking.html#no-decoration
