how to change the name of a linked file

[Brendan Humphreys <br...@thecortex.net>]

Hi folks,

I have two questions regarding content aggregation that I'm hoping 
someone can help me with:

1. I have an aggregate entry in my site.xml:

    <whole_site_pdf label="User Manual in PDF" href="site.pdf"/>

but I'd really like to have the generated file called something other 
than "site.pdf" (e.g. "usermanual.pdf"). How do I achieve this within 
Forrest?

2. Question 2.1 in the Forrest FAQ implies that Forrest can create one 
pdf-file for "selected pages of the site". The answer to that question 
doesn't give details of how to do selective aggregation (it only shows 
"whole site" aggregation based on site.xml). Can anybody show me how to 
generate a pdf-file from a subset of my site?

Thanks for any help people can provide.

Cheers,
-Brendan

Thanks Stephan. I had thought of this, but really don't want to have to 
muck with forrests sitemap files every time I want to change the name of 
the file. I want to be able to control the name of the pdf-file in my 
build (e.g. to include a version number in the name).

The following should do the trick:
Edit the file sitemap.xmap in your forrest-source directory (located in 
  src/resources/conf/sitemap.xmap or src/core/context/sitemap.xmap - 
depends on the forrest version you use)
Around line 185 you find something like

<map:match pattern="site.xml">
    <map:mount uri-prefix="" src="aggregate.xmap" check-reload="yes" />
</map:match>

Just change the value "site.xml" to e.g. "usermanual.xml" and rebuild 
forrest. After that, make sure that in site.xml of your project you 
refer to unsermanual.html rersp. usermanual.pdf:
<wholePDF label"User Manuzal (PDF)" href="usermanual.pdf"/>

Sorry,I can't help. This is a question I do like to know the answer to, 
too...
