mirror.ihtml is not converting
Greetings. We're trying to use the mirror documentation on your site
to generate a mirror page but we're running into a problem. The
.ihtml page is not converting into .html when we run forrest. We run
into the same problem building the forrest site included in the distro
as well.
What are we missing here?
TIA,
sean
ps. You may want to add myfaces.apache.org to your list of sites using
Forrest ;-)

It was converting. As i said, it was just that it
was being generated into a different directory.

Well i don't understand how you would have got past
xml validation for that. Switch it off i suppose.
That was the point of using *.html as the source format.

That is an interesting workaround.

I was able to follow the instructions fairly well except for the major
part of the .ihtml not converting. Here is the hack that I did to get
everything working:
Instead of source.ihtml and binary.ihtml I just wrote source.xml and
binary.xml in the normal xdocs fashion (using the mirrors.ihtml stuff
as a template for my combo box.)
Then in my site.xml I had:
<project-information href="" label="Project" tab="project">
<index_pm href="index.html" label="Welcome"/>
<license label="License" href="license.html" />
<downloads label="Downloads">
<bindownload label="Binary"
href="http://myfaces.apache.org/binary.cgi"/>
<srcdownload label="Source"
href="http://myfaces.apache.org/source.cgi"/>
<bindownload_html href="binary.html"/> <!-- these dummy
links are necessary -->
<srcdownload_html href="source.html"/> <!-- these dummy
links are necessary -->
</downloads>
</project-information>
...
<!--
NOTE: foo tab doesn't really exist (its label is empty String.)
This allows us to create bogus
links for the binary.xml and source.xml files. These bogus links
are necessary to trick
Forrest into converting them into html even though they are not
linked anywhere. The real
links are the cgi scripts tha will eventually make use of these
html templates.
-->
<foo href="" label="" tab="foo">
<bindownload_html label="" href="binary.html"/>
<srcdownload_html label="" href="source.html"/>
</foo>
So the foo tab links forced the generation of the HTML page but you
never see them because the tab is empty string. The links in the
download section were necessary b/c otherwise when the cgi redirected
you to the page you would see the empty tab with empty entries. You
can check out the end results at http://myfaces.apache.org.

Ah, you have hit on a known problem. Hmm, i thought that i
had raised a Jira issue for it but i hadn't. Done now.
http://issues.cocoondev.org/browse/FOR-480
Your project's Cocoon cli.xconf tells it to process the
extra URI mirrors.html and the cli.xconf also tells it
where to put the output, i.e. the "build/site/" directory.
However it gets generated into main/site/ instead.
(Location specific to 0.7-dev.)
A bug definitely, but whose bug?
I need to update that mirror documentation before release.
Did you have any difficulty following it? Other than the fact
that i completely neglected the bug, sorry.
