New Roller Theme available: LightWord
Hi folks,
after some days working with Apache Roller (and asking some questions here
in the forum) I want to contribute something back: the new theme called
"lightword"!
See my blog entry:
http://blog.datazuul.com/roller/entry/new_apache_roller_theme_lightword
http://blog.datazuul.com/roller/entry/new_apache_roller_theme_lightword
Enjoy! Feedback welcome.
(The license from the original Wordpress theme is GPL, so this is too.)

hi, Dave,
It is very nice! One defect is that I have to rename the download file to
59aaf034-5472-43cd-bc1f-9412a3e86e28.tar.gz, otherwise I cant unzip it!

RE: Just Lost All My Graphics
Posted by Nelson Chamberlain <nc...@ceradyne.com>.
This is great. Thanks so much for all this help. I have added uploads.dir and search.index.dir to my roller-custom.properties and restarted and everything seems to be going great.
I'm looking forward to the upgrade to Roller 5
Thanks again
Nelson

Thanks, Chris.
Just to clarify:
- mediafiles.storage.dir is correct for Roller 5
- uploads.dir is correct for Roller 4
When you upgrade from Roller 4 to 5, Roller will migrate/copy your images from your old "uploads.dir direcortory" to "mediafiles.storage.dir"

Bravo! I took your suggestion and added uploads.dir=/documents and settings/.... to my roller-custom.properties and restarted Roller and all of my graphics were back! Hopefully we won't have any more graphics go missing in the future.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Nelson,
I'm running Roller 5, and to set an absolute storage location I added the following line to roller-custom.properties:
mediafiles.storage.dir=/home/roller/data/mediafiles
However, I noticed that Dave's suggested directive has a different name:
'uploads.dir'. Perhaps Roller 4 uses slightly different naming.
Irrespective, add your directive to the Roller properties file.

Hi Nelson,
I'm running Roller 5, and to set an absolute storage location I added the
following line to roller-custom.properties:
mediafiles.storage.dir=/home/roller/data/mediafiles
However, I noticed that Dave's suggested directive has a different name:
'uploads.dir'. Perhaps Roller 4 uses slightly different naming.
Irrespective, add your directive to the Roller properties file.

When you installed Roller, you probably created a file called
roller-custom.properties and put it somewhere in your Tomcat
classpath, perhaps in the Tomcat install directory in a subdirectory
named 'lib' or 'shared/classes'
In that file you should set the 'uploads.dir. property to the
full-path of the directory where you want Roller to store file
uploads. In the uploads directory, Roller will create a subdirectory
for each blog (named with the blog handle). You should be able to
merge the various upload directories in each admin user's directory
you now have in to one.
You should also change set the search.index.dir, so that you don't
have the same problem with the Roller search index.

Thank you so much! This is a huge help and a great relief to have found my graphics files. I actually found them in the home folder of several different users, apparently once each time a different admin logged on the server.
If you don't mind answering another newbie question, where can I find the uploads.dir setting? I'd like to set it to my home folder since I expect to be the Roller admin for the forseeable future.
Thanks again for your help

Roller 4 uses only the file-system for upload storage and does not store any information in the database. So, if the files are gone in Roller then either 1) Roller has the wrong directory set as the uploads directory or 2) somebody deleted the files from disk.
If you explain more about your Roller setup maybe we can figure out what went wrong. What app server are you using? What directory were you using to store file uploads? If you did not set the 'uploads.dir'
propoerty, then Roller will use the default value below:
uploads.dir=${user.home}/roller_data/uploads
That means that the files are stored in the home directory of the user who runs the Roller process. Perhaps somebody deleted that directory?

Roller 4 uses only the file-system for upload storage and does not
store any information in the database. So, if the files are gone in
Roller then either 1) Roller has the wrong directory set as the
uploads directory or 2) somebody deleted the files from disk.
If you explain more about your Roller setup maybe we can figure out
what went wrong. What app server are you using? What directory were
you using to store file uploads? If you did not set the 'uploads.dir'
propoerty, then Roller will use the default value below:
uploads.dir=${user.home}/roller_data/uploads
That means that the files are stored in the home directory of the user
who runs the Roller process. Perhaps somebody deleted that directory?

Re: New Roller Theme available: LightWord
Posted by Christopher Dodunski <Ch...@christopher.net.nz>.
Hi Ralf,
Regarding the need for the URL to include the handle, my work-around was
by way of URL rewriting (as explained in the case study). It's not ideal,
but it does the trick - simply and cleanly.
The handle uniquely identifies a particular weblog. The trick would be,
in the case of dedicated domains (1:1 relationship), to hide the handle
from the outside world. Handles should only appear in HTTP requests where
there is a 'one to many' relationship between domains and weblogs. I
expect this is quite a deviation from the Roller 4 methodology, however,
and may require rewriting of fair chunks of code. Perhaps Dave can
elaborate on this point? The logic is simple enough.
Regards,
Chris Dodunski.

As described I saved the preview of the theme: saved files are pure HTML,
CSS, Javascript, images
After that I made it locally work and then created the theme (Velocity

I used this documentation to setup my system ;-).
One thin still annoying:
Each blog needs an unique handler (like "roller", "pairoo", you name it).
The subdomain and domain name are not sufficient, yet.
You still have to redirect to the handler.
And if you type the handler of subdomain A after the subdomain/domain part
of subdomain B you will see the blog of subdomain A....
Do you have a solution / patch for Apache Roller?
