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

Hi all again,

Firsirst of all, thanks a lot:

- Steve: for your quick reply, but the case is that the book won't be in my
hands before some days.
In the same days I must produce something working :(
By now, ordering the book would be like ordering food with shipping time
exceding the "best before"...

-Kai: I have that pdf and I don't think it contain what I need. Namely, how
to embed the link to the galleries. For example, I did "created as project"
the opencms-demo (ok), create a folder named "Download" in /opencms-demo/en
(ok, I can see the new menu online) and put inside /opencms-demo/en/Download
a link to /system/galleries/download (ko). I can see the link, but l as I
follow it I get a 404 error from the browser. WHAT'S THE WAY???

- Steve Mato (don't know if you are the same Steve): thanks a lot for the
trick, I'll take a look to the archive, but I'm a little bit frustrated
because I took a look at that yesterday (in other time than you, I'm in
Italy and we have some fuse of difference ;) ) and I did not find anyting
useful about the download section embedding... let's hope tomorrow will be
better :)

I'm tired (being working for the past eleven hours, almost no food...) and I
go home now (no solution even today).

I hope that if some of you, opencms gurus, have the time and the will to
help me on, I will find some useful hint in my mailbox tomorrow morning...

I really hope the problem is clear, if not, please, tell me!

Thanx a lot to all of you guys

:)

Good night, 
Vincenzo

Hi Vincenzo,

Your best bet, without doubt, is to buy a copy of the book advertised on the
OpenCms website  see link below.

Weve 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.

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

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????

:)
