FOP's Forrest-based web site
Ross,
Thanks for your help! I've successfully built the FOP site on my box
using forrest-0.5.1 (including a 'nice-looking' breadcrumb trail). I've
got a couple of issues to resolve, but I think I'll plug away at it a
bit longer before I ask for more help. Among other things, I'm
attempting to move to site.xml from book.xml (no sense "learning" how
to use book.xml, when I can move to site.xml, which appears to be the
future). I believe the "successful" build was from my new 'site.xml'
file... The issues I'm currently working on, are the Whole Site PDF
generation & automatic tab "selection" (highlighting of the 'active'
tab). If I were to ask for help, what pieces would you need? Would you
want me to include any files (site.xml, book.xml, skinconf,xml,
sitemap.xmap, sitemap-0.5.xmap, etc.)?
Thanks again for your quick responses!

Yes
site.xml specifies the navigation structure for the entire site. You can
use book.xml on a per-directory basis to override the navigation menu for
documents in that directory.
For normal use, you have one site.xml in your xdocs directory and no
book.xml files

XPath expressions
Posted by Peter Meggitt <pm...@eviasoft.com>.
I am to create an XML transformation that allows XML attributes and elements
to include (with some suitable delimiter) XPath expressions. For example
below, the expression {../@id} would get replaced by the evaluation of the
XPath expression ../@id. So:
<tournament id="Big">
<desc>A big tournament</desc>
<tournament id="{../@id}.day1"/>
<tournament id="{../@id}.day2"/>
</tournament>
would get transformed to:
<tournament id="Big">
<desc>A big tournament</desc>
<tournament id="Big.day1"/>
<tournament id="Big.day2"/>
</tournament>
Does anyone know of an XSLT transformation or other XML spec that would
allow the evaluation of (XPath) expressions during the transformation
process?

Thanks! That did the trick with the "Whole Site" stuff (although I
still have a problem outlined below). I have a few other issues
outlined here[1], but I've got some ideas...
In addition, I have a couple of questions:
1. I'm now getting a new BUILD FAILED error (don't know what I
changed). There are two BROKEN messages:
======
X [0] site.pdf BROKEN:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException:
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.RuntimeException:
java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.fop.apps.FOPException: The id
"design/alt.design/properties/introduction.html" already exists in this
document
[..]
X [0] useragent.html BROKEN:
/Users/Shared/_WebDLs/xml-fop/build/tmp/context/content/xdocs/
useragent.xml (No such file or directory)
[..]
BUILD FAILED
/Users/Shared/_WebDLs/apache-forrest-0.5.1-bin/forrest.build.xml:631:
Java returned: 1
Total time: 10 minutes 39 seconds
======
2. Currently my site structure has two elements with the same name. Is
there a problem that I have two 'design' elements
(/site/development/design & /site/design)? I was thinking of using
indirect linking to resolve issues with links in the
/site/development/design section (e.g., site:design). My site.xml file
is currently something like this:
<site label="FOP" href="" xmlns="http://apache.org/forrest/linkmap/1.0"
tab="home">
<home label="Home">
<index label="Introduction" href="index.html"/>
</home>

I believe that to make the <all> section visible you have to add an
attribute? I think if you change the above to
<all label="Whole site">
<all_site label="Whole Site HTML" href="site.html"/>
<all_sitePDF label="Whole Site PDF" href="site.pdf"/>
</all>
then the option will at least appear in your sidebar.

I refreshed my copy from CVS last night and have re-tried this morning and it
still doesn't work for me. I have renamed the nodes from whole_site_html,
which is the original naming from the site.xml in CVS, to all_site and
all_sitePDF but this had no effect. I also tried removing the <all> element
and this had no effect either.

I've made the change. As expected, now I don't have the "> fop" portion
of the breadcrumb (nor do I have anything of the other crumbs I'm
hoping for). Since I'm not loading this from a web server, I guess I
need to put the new site LIVE before it'll "appear"... (Or at the very
least, I need to fire up the local WEB SERVER and stick it there so I
can see the breadcrumb trail in action).

This still doesn't work for me. I do not see any "Whole Site..." links

I'm thinking seriously about submitting a "[PATCH] breadcrumb.js file"
so we can fix that ugly breadcrumb problem on the FOP site. That's been
bugging us for far longer than even the messed up breadcrumb problem on
the Forrest web site[1], although I notice that it's moved up in
priority :-).

I think I got that portion of the code from the old book.xml file.
Thanks! I don't know if it needs to be clearer, although it always helps
if one can merely copy and paste the code from the web page/FAQ. Perhaps
if it were formatted 'nicely' it would help:
<all>
<all_site label="Whole Site HTML" href="site.html"/>
<all_sitePDF label="Whole Site PDF" href="site.pdf"/>
</all>
Now I just need to figure out how to do the portion where the Development
tab contains links to Design tab pages (see the "resolved" link):
http://xml.apache.org/fop/dev/index.html
Should I just 'punt' and use a book.xml file in the dev/dir?
Thanks again!

Read my description of how it works at
http://issues.apache.org/eyebrowse/ReadMsg?listName=forrest-dev@xml.apache.org&msgId=1332242
Note that it uses javascript to read the current url, so the crumbs will act
differently when the site goes live.
I think you would want:
<trail>
<link1 name="apache" href="http://www.apache.org/"/>
<link2 name="xml.apache" href="http://xml.apache.org/"/>
<link3 name="" href=""/>

As http://xml.apache.org/forrest/faq.html#PDF-output says, the nodes must be
named exactly "all_site" and "all_sitePDF". Perhaps the FAQ needs to be clearer
about this.

I should point out, since I'm running Mac OS X, that I was unsuccessful
at getting the breadcrumb to work in these browsers:
- Safari 1.2 (v125 Mac OS X 10.3.2)
- Mozilla 1.6
- Firebird^H^H^H^Hfox 0.8
- Mac Internet Explorer 5.2.3
I don't know if it matters, but since this is a javascript, perhaps the
problem is with my browser...

I've tried a few different possibilities (including wrapping the "Home"
tab items in a <site><home> node), but found that didn't work either.

I commented out the above <design></design> node and didn't receive a
BUILD FAILED error. Now I need to figure out how to generate that
portion. Perhaps I need to use a book.xml in the meantime?
Wait a minute! My BUILD just finished, and it's looking pretty good:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 7 minutes 1 second
Looks like we're getting closer! Also, I'd built it with the book.xml
file in the dev/ dir, and it built the menu nicely.
Two more problems to debug
1. breadcrumb looks like this (but doesn't change when I click on other
pages or sections). What am I missing?

2. Whole site PDF is not working yet, even though I have this in my

I commented out those lines and the BUILD did not fail (at least not at

those links each contain multiple parameters called "bug_status" which
is strange... I just copied those from the current web page. Perhaps I

Any ideas?

Thanks for the tidbit! That is one piece of information that would
certainly be useful to add to the Forrest linking page (where it says
people should stay away from 'book.xml'):
http://xml.apache.org/forrest/linking.html
or... maybe I should put my money where my mouth is, and submit a
PATCH! Sorry I don't know how to submit one using your system...

Wiser and more experienced people should chime in on this, but I've found that
"book.xml" is very useful in certain situations; for example, when I want to
have the user in a cul-de-sac in the menu and not distracted by other options
under that same menu.
Example:
* Topic
Item1
Item2
Item3
Although "topic" is a subdir of "foo", I don't want "foo" and its relatives to
appear. book.xml makes this possible; if there's another way I've yet to find it.

Re: FOP's Forrest-based web site

BTW, I notice that there's a book.xmlk file in each directory (dev/,
design/, altdesign/, etc.). Do I need a site.xml in those since I'm
"ridding" the site of book.xml files? (Also, I noticed this at the end
of the link you previously sent:
http://xml.apache.org/forrest/linking.html#other-menu-selection
In general, however, we recommend that users avoid book.xml.
(which I take as further confirmation that my eradication of book.xml
is appropriate)
Thanks!

Actually, I'm moving away from 'book.xml' in favor of 'site.xml' which
I assume (correctly?) is the preferred method. My hope is that by
switching to 'site.xml' now, updates to future forrest versions will be
easier. It seems to me (correctly?) that book.xml is being (for lack of
a better term) deprecated in favor of site.xml, hence my switch. Else,
why is the book.xml system considered an 'alternative' method for tabs?
Just the same, thanks for this link, too! It seems that the passage
above this anchor (Selecting menu entries) is where I need to look to
get the tabs working using the new site.xml file I created...

Thanks... No... I haven't tried that yet. I sent that message
immediately after getting a 'successful' build with a proper
breadcrumb. I'm aware of the PDF FAQ, and was waiting to follow the
directions for that and the tab selection before asking for help! :-)
Also, it's news to me, that book.xml takes precedence over site.xml...
It could explain a few other things, most notable, why capitalization

Have you tried this: http://xml.apache.org/forrest/faq.html#PDF-output
If so, and you're still having problems, make sure any old book.xml files are
gone (I think they take precedence over a site.xml, if they exist).
