Dispatcher .fv file template...
Devs,
I've been waiting for things to calm down before asking this
question. I believe now is as good a time as any...
Back in the olden days of v0.7 I had created a .fv file that allowed
me to format the main page of http://www.cfas.org/ without using
tables. I was rather happy to have been able to figure that one out.
Now I'm working with v0.8 at SVN head with the patch from FOR-796. My
forrest.properties file has these entries:
project.theme=pelt
project.required.plugins=org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.pdf,org.apache.forrest.plugin.internal.dispatcher,org.apache.forrest.themes.core,org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.Text,org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.OpenOffice.org,org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.PhotoGallery
I've looked at my old index.fv and a few of the other .fv's in the
forrest tree but I can't figure out how to update it so that I get
something other than a blank page.
I'm looking for a template for each page that I can modify, more like
tweak slightly, for the index page. I essentially need to add one hook
after the content-title section:
<forrest:hook name="rightbar">
<forrest:contract name="extra-info"/>
</forrest:hook>
(from the 0.7 version .fv file).
Any suggestions?
-Paul

The default .fv for pelt is:
whiteboard/plugins/org.apache.forrest.themes.core/themes/pelt.fv

Thorsten - I can send the structurer but I don't know if I have a copy
that actually works in v0.7 anymore... I never used it for the actual
site and I've been trying to follow the development as it's been going
along but I haven't had the time to be successful with it. I didn't
have any custom contracts as I never fully understood what a contract
with forrest meant. I look forward to the resolution of FOR-639 in that
regard.
I did notice that the format and other things had changed. I didn't
(don't) understand how to translate between what worked in v0.7 and what
works today with v2 dispatcher/v3 structurer understanding that those
two are as different from each other as they are from v0.7.
Ross - I was aware that the pelt .fv file was there. I guess I didn't
realize that it would make an appropriate template for changing the
layout of a page in the form of an index.fv. I'll start working on it
and, if I may, keep asking questions here.
Thanks for the tips guys!

Well the *.fv from the prototype in 0.7 have changed quite a bit. ;)
We have started late to document the changes but following may be
useful:

Can I see your structurer?
Do you use more custom contracts?
Are you are aware that the contract grammar slightly changed (see above
links)?
