Is there a decent way of using different PDF fonts for different parts of a Forrest site?

Hello,

I have a site which has different languages in the same site.  This
works OK except when it comes to PDF generation.  There seems to be no
font choice that covers all languages; I need Dejavu for latin
languages, and IPA for Japanese.  The problem is that I can't figure
out how to configure Forrest to use one set of fonts for part of the
site and a different set for another, for PDF generation.  Is this
even possible?

Thanks,
Karl

Font not found error

I'm trying to specify Japanese fonts to use with Forrest 0.9 but keep
getting the following error:
WARN - Font 'IPAGothic,normal,400' not found. Substituting with
'any,normal,400'.
WARN - Font 'IPAGothic,normal,700' not found. Substituting with
'any,normal,700'.
WARN - Font 'IPAGothic,italic,400' not found. Substituting with
'any,italic,400'.

I've created the following forrest.properties.xml file:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<properties>
<property name="output.pdf.fontFamily.serif" value="IPAPGothic"/>
<property name="output.pdf.fontFamily.sansSerif" value="IPAPGothic"/>
<property name="output.pdf.fontFamily.monospace" value="IPAPGothic"/>
<property name="output.pdf.fontFamily.arial" value="IPAPGothic"/>
<property name="output.pdf.fontFamily.TimesNewRoman" value="IPAPGothic"/>
<property name="output.pdf.fontFamily.Courier" value="IPAPGothic"/>
<property name="output.pdf.fontFamily.arialMT" value="IPAPGothic"/>
<property name="output.pdf.fontFamily.arial-BoldMT" value="IPAPGothic"/>
<property name="output.pdf.fontFamily.arial-ItalicMT" value="IPAPGothic"/>
<property name="output.pdf.fontFamily.TimesNewRomanPSMT"
value="IPAPGothic"/>
</properties>

and the following config.xml file:
<fop version="1.0">
<renderers>
<renderer mime="application/pdf">
<fonts>

Adding site documentation to project

Hi all,

As a project, we are wanting to ship core documentation with the software distribution. Currently the Nutch site documentation can be found here [1], however we would like to start shipping it with our branch-1.4 [2] under a new /docs directory.

I know this is rather trivial and that there must be documentation on it somewhere but I have not been able to get my hands on it from the Forrest site yet!

Thanks for any pointers.

Problem understanding broken-links.xml after making changes to site

Hi list,

Using the most recent stable forrest release I made some changes to the Apache Nutch site (haven't committed them yet due to problems) but building our site code with 'forrest' fails with the following material in broken-links.xml

<broken-links>
<link message="The current document is unable to create an element of the requested type (namespace: http://www.w3.org/2000/svg, name: html).">index.pdf</link>
<link message="No pipeline matched request: error:ext:wiki">error:ext:wiki</link>
</broken-links>

Is there any way to get more verbose messages? I've had a look through the files I edited and new ones I created and can seem to figure this one out myself.

Thank you very much for any suggestions.

Not copying new project logo when building

Hi list,

I have a small problem which is the addition of a new project logo to our already running Forrest site.

In /forrest/src/documentation/resources/images/ I have added my new logo and have also specified it in the skinconf.xml which is in /documentation a follows


<project-name>Nutch</project-name>
<project-description>Open Source Web Search Software</project-description>
<project-url>http://nutch.apache.org/</project-url>
<project-logo>images/nutch_logo_tm.gif</project-logo>

However when I build the project in /forrest with 'forrest',, copy /build/site to /publish then commit, the logo doesn't change, infact it actually shows a dead link to the image as you will see here [1].

I've tried rebuilding and re-committing and it doesn't seem to be working at all. Users lists have provided some unexpected leads on other topics such as SVG which I am happy I found however I am still puzzling over this one. Any pointers please?

Thank you

Problem attaching a TM symbol to website logo

Hi list,

I must admit I'm relatively new to Forrest however I am finding it extremely user friendly to date (even though I'm only making minor changes). I've been trying to tackle our Jira issue as here [1] which is basically an update of branding issues relating to the Apache Nutch web site [2]. Now in particular I am stuck with the seemingly trivial task of adding a "TM" symbol e.g. &#153 to the Nutch website logo as described here [3].

After building the site source [4] I've been searching through all of the files in an attempt to locate some HTML I can edit however all I can find in /site/forrest/src/documentation is skinconf.xml which contains the snippet below.


<project-name>Nutch</project-name>
<project-description>Open Source Web Search Software</project-description>
<project-url>http://nutch.apache.org/</project-url>
<project-logo>images/nutch-logo.gif</project-logo>

I understand that this is a real trivial issue, however I've searched high and low and can't seem to get it.

Thank you

More forrest based sites

Hi

I've been using Forrest since 0.7. In fact I'm long overdue an upgrade now that 0.9 is out because I'm still using 0.7 - not had much time to spare for that... and whilst on that subject is jumping two releases going to be easy?

Anyway, I've build a site that has quite a lot of content, internal and external links. Forrest scores because producing this content is a lot of effort and the last thing you want to end up with is content that can only ever live in one domain. Forrest's document spec is simple and this way it is relatively easy to process your content for something else, should you want to. That alone is a great motivator for putting effort into one's website.

I've used Forrest to create the website for Inq - a scripting language that, while much like others of its kind can be used in a general purpose way, also includes cooperating client and server environments. It "reifies" many programming concepts (for example variable references) so that common tasks (like say MVC dispatching and database mapping) can be handled by the environment.

If you consider it useful and worthy, perhaps you would add it to the list of Forrest-powered sites.

Kind regards
Tom

forrest based sites

Hi,

I have just created a tiny site for my consulting activities using forrest.

I like the fact of creating my site based upon xml files which are in
source control.

This is one of the nice aspects of forrest.

Now, I am wondering, did some forrest users skin their site with JQuery
menus ?

Is it maybe already part of some forrest plugin ?

If not, what would be the steps to implement that ?

I thought that maybe we can combine the good architectural design of
forrest with some seductive bells and whistles.

Regards,

Antoine

[Announce] Apache Forrest 0.9 released

The Apache Forrest project is pleased to release the new version:
apache-forrest-0.9 http://forrest.apache.org/mirrors.cgi

Apache Forrest (tm) software is a publishing framework
that transforms input from various sources into a unified
presentation in one or more output formats. The modular
and extensible plug-in architecture of Apache Forrest
is based on Apache Cocoon and the relevant industry
standards that separate presentation from content.
Forrest can generate static documents, or be used as a
dynamic server, or be deployed by its automated facility.

Features of this version include:

* Consolidation and bug fixing.

* Our packaged version of Apache Cocoon has been upgraded
to use the latest version of their stable 2.1 branch.

Download: http://forrest.apache.org/mirrors.cgi

Release notes, including a list of some of the more
important changes, are available from the download mirrors.

Full list of changes: http://forrest.apache.org/docs/changes.html
See also lists of changes in each plugin's documentation.

Upgrade guide: http://forrest.apache.org/docs/upgrading_09.html

See the issue tracker for known issues:
http://forrest.apache.org/issues.html

Thanks for your interest, from the Apache Forrest project.
