Some feedback on using Forrest
Hello,
I created a web site which is on-line at http://www.sello-propio.com
since a few days ago. It is pretty simple and uses the default skin.
But my customer is really happy, both with the quality, and with the
speed at which changes can be introduced.
I've worked with the svn version of Forrest and I'd like to share some
comments on my experience so far.
1. The web site is in Spanish. I had to manually modify the default
skin to get rid of English messages, i.e., "Published", "Search", etc.
It would be great if the skins would refer to some file which actually
holds the translations for these messages.
2. My site.xml file has the following:
<files>
...
<eventos href="eventos/index.html"/>
</files>
However, <a href="site:eventos" /> is rendered as the link
http://sello-propio.com/eventos/ which you can see in the front
page. Where did the "index.html" part go? This is annoying
because while testing the site in my local hard drive (with
URLs like file:///path/to/build/site) these links give me
the list of files in the directory instead of the "index.html"
file I am expecting.
Basically, there seems to be the implicit assumption that the
web server will always figure out that index.html is the file
that has to be rendered. This is not always the case. In particular
several "embedded" web server don't have this logic built in
and require a explicit mention of the target file.
3. Why do I get "2005 2005" in the copyright label? I have this
in skinconf.xml
<year>2005</year>
<vendor>Sello Propio.</vendor>
I'd like this to read "2004-2005" but if I put <year>2004-2005</year> I
get "2004-2005 2004-2005". The skin always doubles up the content of the
<year> :(
4. You will notice that the date in the top right of the pages is
the current date/time as of the moment you click to see each page.
This is supposed to be the "Published" date instead! (I removed
the "Publicado", in Spanish, because it is simply not working).
The server serving the pages doesn't have Java available. Could this
be the reason why I get this weird behaviour?
Despite these problems, I'm really happy with Forrest and I want to
say thank you to the development team. And if you feel is worth it,
I'd be delighted to see this new web site in the list of samples
in the Forrest's web site.
Thank you,

That latter statement certainly helps to clarify your problem.
Still don't know what the problem is, sorry.
In the future it would be better to have separate email threads
for each issue. This thread is getting very messy with mixed topics.
Many developers will probably be missing this discussion.
Using relevant "Subject" headers attracts more attention.

We cannot help with http server questions. You would need to
get your service provider to configure their server properly.
Information about properly setting the http headers, so that
documents have the "Last-Modified" header, is a common topic
regarding caching of documents. Try searching the user mailings
lists at http://httpd.apache.org/

The new skin lives locally in my sello-propio src directory. I just
copied the common and pelt directories under
sello-propio/src/documentation/skins as per the Forrests docs, updated
sello-propio/forrest.properties, and made local modifications to the
skin.
But the page at colcan.biz is built with an unmodified local svn copy of
the Forrest repository. I have no changes of my own there.

Well, the service provider uses Apache on a Linux box. I just ftp the
web pages there. Look at http://colcan.biz/site and you will see the
same sello-propio web pages being served out of my own PC. The date is
right, it is the date the web pages were generated. Now, I take these
same pages, ftp them to the real host for sello-propio and the dates
become the current date as of the moment you click on the pages.
So my question still remains, what is it missing in the web server to
make the Last-Modified thing work? My PC seems to be OK, but
sello-propio service provider's seems to be missing something, I just
don't know what that is (java?).

However, that does not prove anything - that will just merge any
changes that we might have recently made. You said that you created
a new skin. I reckon that that is where the problem might be.

How to get it working is dependant on your server. I you want to do it
in the generation of the pages search your skin files for
document.write("Last Published: " + document.lastModified);
You could change the way this is generated, perhaps taking a value from
skinconf. Not ideal as you will have to update skinconf each time you
published, but at leat it would work if you can't get the last-modified
header.

That would be superb, if you can then put a patch on our issue tracker,
see http://forrest.apache.org/0.7/contrib.html#patch. If you can't
provide a patch comments on the issue will help.

This is a different issue, That FAQ is about changing the default page
used if none is defined in the URL. In this case the page to be used
has been defined in the HREF and therefore should be included in the link.
However, I have never seen this before, and a fresh-seed site shows that
this functionality works correctly. Do:
mkdir fresh
cd fresh
forrest seed
forrest run
http://localhost:8888/samples/linking.html#site
Note the links in this section, they correctly link to the named page,
for example:
<a href="site:faq">site:faq</a>
generates the link:
http://localhost:8888/samples/faq.html
Do you have another element in your site.xml called "eventos", that
could be getting in the way?
If you change the site.xml entry to <eventos
href="eventos/testing.html"/> what is the resultant link?

To be clear, the last published time is taken from the LAST-MODIFIED
header, if it is not present the current date/time is used. Note that it
*should* be present, this is a config problem on your server.
Once again, thanks for your feedback. Being made aware of these issues
is how we try and make sure Forrest works for everyone as intended.
Without this feedback the devs cannot do their job properly. For all
those lurkers here, you can contribute to Forrest directly simply by
providing feedback like this.

Oh thank you. That is exactly what we need - feedback.
Also people testing 0.7-dev is helping to create a better release.

This could be quite easily added to the skinconf.xml configuration,
rather than a separate file. The skinconf DTD would need a tweak.
Would you please add an Issue to our tracker. See the left-hand
menu of our Project tab.

I wonder if this FAQ would address that issue:

Strange. That configuration does not seem to be any different
to what we have for forrest.apache.org and it works for us.
You said that you copied the pelt skin and changed some things.
Perhaps you accidently added something to the stylesheets
when you were experimenting with changing the English terms.
Doing 'diff -r skins/sello-propio skins/pelt' will reveal your
changes.

Perhaps there is a problem with your web server. When i request
HEAD of that document, it shows that there is no "Last-Modified"
header in the response.

Thanks to you. If you have any general changes that you needed
to make to the pelt skin, then send them in. That would make
it easier for you to keep your code synchronised.

Of course it is. Done. If you want to change the entry, then
send us the output of
svn diff site-author/content/xdocs/live-sites.xml
