Problem with menu links
Hello all,
I started testing out OOo files today and am having trouble with the
menu links to them. I am just doing static generation right now with
Forrest 0.6 on WinXP.
Here's my process:
- Create a directory called "formats" in ..\src\documentation\content\xdocs
-Create 2 files (one OOo .xml and one OOo .sxw) and save into formats folder
- Copy the samples\openoffice-writer.sxw file into formats folder
- Edit site.xml suchly:
<formats label="Formats" href="formats/" tab="formats">
<oo-docbook label="OOo DocBook" href="TestDBk.html" description="A
OOo DocBook Test"/>
<oo-writer label="OOo Writer" href="openoffice-writer.html"
description="A OOo Writer Test"/>
<oo-text label="OOo Text" href="TestOOo.html" description="A OOo
Text Test" />
</formats>
- Edit tabs.xml suchly:
<tab id="formats" label="Formats" dir="formats" indexfile="Test-DBk.html">
<tab id="openofficetext" label="Open Office Text" dir="formats"
indexfile="openoffice-writer.html"/>
<tab id="ootext" label="OOo Text" dir="formats"
indexfile="Test-OOo.html"/>
</tab>
Run forrest
When I go to look at the site, here's what happens:
I click the Formats tab and I get the TestDbk.html file properly.
I click on the Menu item - OOo DocBook and I get an error stating that
whole/path/to/TestDBk.html cannot be found.
Same happens for the Menu item - OOo Text (TestOOo.html).
The Menu item OOo Writer (the copied samples file) loads properly and
looks fine.
(All the html and pdfs were created properly and can be opened directly
from the site folder.)
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious. Please direct me. Thanks.

We've all made similar mistakes, it sometimes takes a fresh set of eyes
to see the obvious ones.

No, not yet.
If you can assist in developing the stylesheets we would welcome your
assistance.

*sigh* Sorry bout wasting your time on that. I definitely got confused
when editing the tabs and site files and misnamed the two that weren't
working by forgetting the "-". I guess I will do better if I copy and
paste between the two files.
I figured I didn't need to save the one as xml but I was just seeing if
it made a difference. Does forrest recognize the new OOo format .odt as
well?
Thanks for your patience.

There is no need to creatre the XML file, Forrest does the conversions
itself.

The name of the file in tabs is Test-Dbk.html which is different from
the one in site.xml (TestDbk.html). Since it works in tabs then I guess
that is the reason site.xml doesn't.

You do not mention a TestOOo.* file. What do you have and where is it?
