linking to internal to site, non-forrest-generated html files

Hi guys,

First, thanks for a very cool product... this makes website management
cake.

Now for my question (searched the archive/faq):

I have a resume.html that's generated external to Forrest, i.e. I don't
have a resume.xml.  When I put the resume.html in a directory and add a
link to it, I get an error on generation saying it can't find
resume.xml.  A Cocoon error file named resume.html is created where the
real file should be.  Seems like my file should be copied over from the
content directory.

How/where do I put non-forrest-generated html files to be ref'd from
within my website?

Thanks,

Todd

That's right.

(FYI, book.xml is deprecated in favour of just site.xml.  If you know
that, ignore me ;P)

Thanks, that was what I was looking for.

Just for the archive (this is probably in the docs, but I missed it):

I added an element to site.xml called "<resume>":
<site label="My Website" href=""
xmlns="http://apache.org/forrest/linkmap/1.0">

  <resume label="Resume" href="resume.html"/>

where resume.html file lives in src/documentation/content/

in my content/xdocs/prof/book.xml, I refer to this by:

  <menu label="Professional Home">
    <menu-item label="General Resume" href="site:resume"/>
 
Thanks again and keep up the good work,

Todd

In src/documentation/content/.  The seed webapp ('forrest seed') has an
example of this.
