[opencms-dev] URGENT: I'm forced to leave without help...

[Steve]

Hi Vincenzo,
 
Your best bet, without doubt, is to buy a copy of the book advertised on
the OpenCms website - see link below.
 
We've only been developing with OpenCms 5.0.1 for the last two months or
so, and the book (together with the interactive documentation) 
has been VERY useful indeed.

Hi all,
I work for a big italian IT company on a big project for the italian
public administration.
I'm evaluating OpenCMS since some days and I' having troubles...
 
*******JUMP TO THE "ISSUE" SECTION to avoid backgrounds..*******
 
I need a web site framewark with CMS facilities and after evaluating
PhpNuke, PostNuke, Nukes, Exo Platform and others I finally get to
OpenCMS.
 
I like it (java, templating, security etc.), but I have to produce a
portal in a few days.
That's the reason why I choosed a framework instead of developing the
solution by myself.
 
I should use Jboss, and I understand that with OpenCMS 5 it's impossible
(opwncms.war instead of opencms context in the links problem, many of
you know ehat I'm talking about)
 
So I went to version 6 that installs very well in jboss, but...
Version 6 is an alpha, but it would not be the real problem, because old
ver.5 modules don't work on ver. 6, and there isn't documentation but
the ver.5 module one.
 
 
******* ISSUE  ********
 
So I installed Tomcat 4.1.30 (but I'd need to move to jboss, sooner or
later) and Version 5.0.1 (and I'd pass to ver. 6 as soon as reasonable)
 
Ok I have the system working and now I have to:
 
- start from a semi-worked web-site like the web demo, modify its L&F
and 
- provide the download section of the site using galleries/download,
just configured with sections I need
 
The problem is that also the module documentation isn't enough to get
started.
 
What a project is for? (it's not a site, is it offline or online or what
else?)
Which file I have to modify in order to get the layout I need?
 
What do I have to do in order see the download section in MY site like I
see it in the OpenCMS.org site?
 
******* ISSUE  ********
 
I was enthusiast of discovering this product/project in which I could
partecipate also like a developer, but Mailing list archive is off line,
I'm dispirited  and if I don't get answers to start up my site I'm
forced to leave and pass to something else.
 
It would be a pity.
I like the project and I repeat I could partecipate and adopt OpenCMS in
many other situations, also involving other people, but I'm blocked
without light, at the moment.
 
No clue, no quick start documentation, no mailinglist archive!
 
Would some of you, saint souls, please help me????
 
:)
