[Hypercontent-users] Running hypercontent in uP2-1-4

[Carl B. <C.P...@hu...>]

Hi Alex

More questions......

Now I have HyperContent up and running here at Hull on a test server I 
need to get some people using it.  To do this I'm probably going to have 
to run it though uPortal_2-1-4.  Is this easy to do?  Do you have any 
specific instructions to help out?

You said you might be able to provide some code for setting up a bread 
crumb trail.  That would be very helpful.

Thanks for all your help with this.

Carl

[Hypercontent-users] HyperContent 2 build script and info

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hello all,
	Though I have been somewhat preoccupied with our imminent portal 
rollout at Columbia, the HyperContent bits continue to trickle out . . 
. I have committed a simple ant script and a bare-bones content 
repository to the CVS, so if you checkout the hypercontent2 module you 
can now perform an "ant startup" and visit a simple hello world page at 
"http://localhost:8080/index.html".  While there is no content of 
interest in this project as yet, it provide a sufficient structural 
example for you to take an existing HyperContent 1.x project and port 
it into the HyperContent 2 server.  The porting steps are:

--------------------------

1. Register your project with the bootstrap project.  This is done by 
creating a directory under /repositories/bootstrap/projects, and 
creating a file called "filesystem.xml" within that directory.  This 
file should contain ONLY the repository element from your project 
definition, with one new attribute called "mount".  This indicates the 
mount path of this project on the server.  By default, the HyperContent 
servlet is mapped to the root context, so if you mount your project at 
"/my-project/"  the base url for your project would be 
"http://localhost:8080/my-project/".

2. Create a directory "config" in your project repository.  Put a copy 
of your project definition file at the location 
"/config/project-definition.xml".  The project definition resides 
within the project repository in HyperContent 2, so that the repository 
is self-describing, which will enable easier copying and moving of 
projects.

3. Create a file "/config/permissions.xml" in your project repository.  
For world read access, this will work:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<permissions>
	<permission principal="group:anybody" activity="read" target="/"/>
</permissions>

You can also assign permissions to users, who are defined in the 
bootstrap project.  The pattern for adding users is to put them in a 
path like "/repositories/bootstrap/users/u/us/username.xml", where the 
last two directories correspond to the first and first two characters 
of the username.  See the demo user file for an example.  
Authentication is done via JAAS, so you can plug in another 
authentication mechanism.  The user files in the future will be 
primarily intended for storing user preferences.

4.  Run "ant startup", and visit your web site.  Note that directory 
listings and/or automatic index page mapping are not yet implemented, 
so you will have to enter the full  URL of a file.  Your web site 
should behave just as it would if you performed a build under 1.x, but 
now it is served dynamically.  The only catch is that options 
configured in the Build options editor are not currently supported - 
I'd like to get a feel for whether people use these options, as I am 
considering deprecating them.

--------------------------

What is going on under the hood?
	HyperContent 2 is acting as an HTTP 1.1 server; it is able to map 
incoming requests to rendering pipelines based on  your project 
definition; if the pipeline is not a simple pass-through, the rendering 
is cached to disk.  The dates of both the disk cache and the user's 
browser cache are compared with every request against a recursive 
dependency analyzer, so that content is immediately flagged out of date 
when any dependency is modified.  The maximum latency of last mod date 
changes is configureable in the hypercontent.properties file. 
HyperContent 2 also GZIPs content if the browser supports it, and 
caches the GZIP version to disk.  Disk caching is handled by Berkeley 
DB Java edition, which is based on the fast Java NIO in JDK 1.4, and 
which has a configureable memory cache for frequently accessed content. 
  Templates for not-found, not-authorized, auth-required and error 
screens are also provided in the bootstrap project, and can be 
overridden by any other project.
	Pipelines are matched on five components: base-directory (used to 
create virtual directories for presenting alternative forms of output, 
such as text-only), base path (repository path without file extension), 
file extension (used to define the content type of the pipeline 
output), permissions, and "mode", which is a special parameter.  Modes 
are used to define non-cacheable views of data, and are primarily 
intended for interactive components such as authoring tools.  These 
modal views will also NOT be able to be built and published in batch 
processes; they are intended only to come from the HyperContent server 
itself in real-time.
	Authoring tools are going to be developed as component modes.  For 
example, you might have a directory browser mode and a WYSIWYG mode, 
and you'll be able to present a page with both tools by creating a 
composite mode.  A simple way to do this is using a Velocity template 
which uses the include directive to load the URl of the page with 
different mode parameters.  These include requests are handled 
internally, without going back out over the network.
	A new form handling framework is also in development which will allow 
for the mapping of form inputs to unique keys which are bound to 
objects, so that multiple form-based tools can be composed into a 
single page and submitted via one form, without losing track of where 
each input goes.  This will also allow the determination of idempotency 
to the level of individual inputs, as a key->input mapping is invalid 
as soon as all references to the input backing object are let go by the 
authoring tool to which they belong.  A Mersenne-Twister based unique 
ID generator is used to guarantee uniqueness of these keys within a 
JVM; they are represented as 10 character strings built from a 62 
character set ([0-9][a-z][A-Z]), with up to 2^ 59 possible values.


What's next?
	The form handling framework will be developed in conjunction with the 
porting of one or more authoring tools from HyperContent 1.4 to 
establish proof of concept.      This should be done in the next few 
weeks. The biggest remaining challenge after that will be a new 
workflow-based publication engine which will allow more control over 
how batch-processing is done that was possible in v1, from automatic 
build and publish to a remote server on save, to several stages of 
approval or automated content validation components.  Once that code is 
built, a new project-definition grammar will be built from the ground 
up to make it easy to leverage more of the advanced features of 
HyperContent 2; backwards compatibility for 1.x project definition 
files will be maintained indefinitely, as that logic is cleanly broken 
out into a separate SAX ContentHandler.


Regards,
	Alex

I recommend restarting tomcat daily.  We do this, and I know a number  
of other uPortal installations do as well.  For heavy HyperContent and  
uPortal utilization, your memory settings are probably insufficient.  I  
recommend 2+ GB of RAM, if you have it available.  Also, your  
MaxNewSize is too large in relation to your maximum heap size - in  
general, your MaxNewSize should not be more than 1/3 of your total  
heap.

You can disable the image editor by changing the global editor mappings  
in ContentTypes.xml.

You should make sure your JVM is configured with a useable temp  
directory, which is used by
uPortal and HyperContent as temporary storage for uploaded files.  You  
can do this by setting the system property java.io.tmpdir,
e.g. "-Djava.io.tmpdir=/temp"

This was a known issue with the version of HTMLArea that is used.  I'll  
check to see if any updates have addressed that issue.

The WYSIWYG editor is configured to strip out style and class elements  
to prevent users from deviating from the desired look and feel (and to  
remove garbage that Microsoft Word outputs).  You can change this  
configuration by editing the code in the method  
DocumentFactory.parseHTMLFragment, which uses NekoHTML to parse and  
cleanup the HTML.  For example, you could change the line

remover.acceptElement("div",new String[]{"align"});

to

remover.acceptElement("div",new String[]{"align","class"});

to keep the class attribute on divs.

I had seen this error in Mozilla at some point, but I thought it was  
resolved.  I suggest you double check that the files under  
webpages/htmlarea are up to date with what is in the distribution of  
1.4 - if you upgraded from a previous version of HyperContent, it is  
possible those files may not have been properly updated.

Re: [Hypercontent-users] Hypercontent2 project

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hello Juris,
	I will start posting design documentation to the HyperContent 
developer's list starting next week; I will start by editing my 
development notes of the last couple months to describe the decisions 
and architecture that has already been built, and we can proceed from 
there talking about the components that must be developed next, and 
where you might be interested in making a contribution.  I suggest you 
sign up for the developer's mailing list at sourceforge as well, so 
that we can keep this user's list primarily focussed on the 
implementation of web sites with HyperContent.

Cheers,
	Alex

Re: [Hypercontent-users] navagation

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hi Carl,
	You'll notice the logic starting on line 87 of the common.xsl 
stylesheet in that project:

<xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="$onSelf">
		<span style="{$style}">
			<xsl:value-of select="@label"/>
		</span>
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:otherwise>
		<xsl:call-template name="navigation-link">
			<xsl:with-param name="style" select="$style"/>
		</xsl:call-template>
	</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

This is checking whether the link belongs to the current page, and is 
just spitting out a span tag rather than a link in that case. If you 
want the link to appear regardless, you could replace the choose with 
just the contents of the otherwise:

<xsl:call-template name="navigation-link">
	<xsl:with-param name="style" select="$style"/>
</xsl:call-template>

Hope that helps!

[Carl B. <C.P...@hu...>]

Hi Alex

I have got everything else working fine now, just one outstanding 
question that for some reason I can't pin point, as I said before it 
might just be that my xsl is a bit limited at the moment and I need to 
brush up on it.

In the demo site you supplied, when you click on a menu link on the 
published website that link will disappear, this is something that 
people have asked for, but I will also need the links to stay there on 
some sites.  How would I did that?

Thanks
Carl

Hello!

I'd like to ask some questions about hypercontent.

The first: is it possible to make authentication in Hypercontent2.0 throu=
gh
Uportal channel? That is once entered Uportal using username and password=
 we
could browse it and see a clannel with a list of projects as links availa=

standalone server. The Uportal channel would only do the authentication. =
Would
this approach make sence with Hypercontent2.0 secutity system? Wich class=
 is
responsible for authentication?

I would like to run Hypercontenet2 on my server. Is it possible to do it =
with
compiled source downloaded from CVS Repository at the current stage? Are =

Hi Alex
Thanks again for all that, very helpful.

RE: 'You can use the "Build Options" editor to hide a piece of content, 
of course that means saving an edit. '
I was meaning on the actually published website,  the pages always 
appear on the left hand side menu.  using the 'Build Options' I only 
seem to be able to stop it from publishing the file, I need the file to 
be published but no link added to it on the site.

Also (and this might be my limited xslt knowledge) In the demo site you 
supplied, when you click on a menu link on the published website that 
link will disappear, this is something that people have asked for, but I 
will also need the links to stay there on some sites.  How would I did that?

Thanks again

Carl

I'm looking into this - it used to be that you just had to click, 
rather than right-click, on IE to make it work.  The current version of 
IE seems to object even to this . . .

You can use the "Build Options" editor to hide a piece of content, of 
course that means saving an edit.

This will require a minor code tweak - I'll have a look at it.

You can use the "Upload Editor" to upload an individual file - you have 
to be in edit mode to accomplish this.  You can only upload zip files 
from the Details/Admin screen.

Re: [Hypercontent-users] Basic Demo Site

[Carl B. <C.P...@hu...>]

Hi Alex

Thanks very much for all that it was of great help.  I now have one of 
our sites here set up and working in hypercontent.  I have a few more 
questions...

If I downloads the zip of the site on my PC it says 'invalid archive'  
if I download it onto my mac it's fine. I then need to transfer the 
content to my PC before zipping it up and re uploading it.  How can I 
overcome this?

At the moment when I create new content it automatically creates a new 
menu item for that content, this is something that I need to do. However 
I also need to be able to create content without a menu item being 
created. How can I configure hypercontent to do that?

When I create new content the 'last updated' info (which I do need) says 
'false' until I go in and edit the content for the first time.  Can I 
have the date it was created displayed until the first edit?

If I want to re upload a file (common.xsl for example)  is says the file 
is an invalid format. I have had to upload the full zip to get it to 
work.  How can I upload just one file?

Thanks

Carl

Re: [Hypercontent-users] Basic Demo Site

[Alex V. <av...@co...>]

Hi Carl,
	I've posted a project definition XML file and a repository zip, for 
the "Simple Site" project I showed at the JA-SIG conference in June.  
It's a site with a home page, sections (across the top of the page) and 
subsections (down the left), nothing fancy.  There's a bit of content 
in there that shows off things like the WYSIWYG, Image Editor, and site 
mapping.  You should configure the project definition for your 
filesystem structure as necessary, then once you've opened the project 
use the "Upload Zip" command with "force copy" enabled to get the data 
into the repository.  The files are at

[Hypercontent-users] Basic Demo Site

Hi Alex

Just back from holiday, would it be possible for you to supply us with a 
very basic Hypercontent site that we can work up from. something like 
http://www.hull.ac.uk/occhealth/ I need to get Hypercontent up and 
running here at Hull asap and any starting point would be great. 

Many Thanks

Scheduled building and publishing is a planned feature for a future 
release of HyperContent, but is not currently possible. If you are 
curious how building and publishing is achieved at the code level, look 
at the command classes BuildNode and PublishNode. This should give you 
an idea of the data elements that would need to be persisted in order 
to store a build or publish command for future execution.

You can access the CVS from the hypercontent web site.  I think PHP or 
JSP support is a very good idea, and would make a lot of sense in the 
HyperContent 2.0 architecture, as it will act as a standalone web 
server.  If you would like to contribute, you should begin by reviewing 
the design document for HyperContent 2.0 (attached). This lays out the 
basic priorities established for version 2.0, and you can provide 
feedback or suggestions.  From there, if you are interested in 
developing components, for example to support PHP, we can discuss how 
that can best be plugged into the 2.0 architecture on the developer's 
list, and you can submit code on the developer's list as well.  You can 
get CVS commit access once you become regular contributors.

The development code base for HyperContent 2.0 is not yet in the 
SourceForge CVS, but will be in the near future once some housekeeping 
is complete.  Once it is, I can help you understand the appropriate 
APIs to use to plug in functionality.

[Hypercontent-users] to_hypercontent_project

[Ingmars R. <ing...@lu...>]

Hello!

We have some questions about hypercontent.
1)Is it possible to build and publish the data not at this moment, but
after a view days and or hours? For example not to push build, but
choose after
how many days to build and publish the result of xml and xsl
transformation. Where can we find the lines to change or may be You
can help to do it?

2) How we can join to Hypercontent CVS. We have some ideas to
contribute specially to PHP. We would like try to integrate some
windows (textarea block) for adding php dynamic part and may be jsp.
What do You think?

3) Also we are intersted to help to develop Hypercontent 2.0 version.

Yes - v1.4 introduced a new navigation management system, which is 
appropriate for everything from managing site navigation to site maps 
(TOC).  See

http://hypercontent.sourceforge.net/docs/manual/develop/navigation.html

> 3- Is it possible to auto create a breadcrumb trail?

Yes.  This is something that would be implemented in XSL, and might be 
done by including your site map navigation document, locating the node 
of the current page,
and producing the breadcumb trail based on its ancestors.  We have 
produced some sites with breadcrumb trails here, so we could provide 
some code samples.

Navigation is left entirely up to you - the HyperContent site left 
navigation is managed by a navigation template file, as described in 
the chapter linked above, and changing that template file is all you 
would have to do to change whether, where and how many news items show 
up.  The relationship of navigation template files to sections of your 
site is specified in your project configuration, so you can have 
completely different rules for generating navigation in different parts 
of your site.

Keep the questions coming!

	Alex

[Hypercontent-users] Questions

[Carl B. <C.P...@hu...>]

I have been taking at look at HyperContent ready to set up some of the 
sites here at at Hull.  I have a couple of questions to start with 
although I'm sure there will be many more.

1- It is possible to auto create a TOC and site index?
3- Is it possible to auto create a breadcrumb trail?
2 - I have looked at the demo site supplied with the UPortal channel. I 
notice that if you create a new news item a new menu item is 
automatically created on the left hand menu, is this something that we 
can control or turn of completely for a certain site?

Many thanks

Carl

[Hypercontent-users] Can't see Content Manager in Uportal 2.3.3

[Mark R. <m.r...@ai...>]

Hi,
 
I have installed uPortal 2.3.3 "Only Distribution" on my tomcat5 container
with Oracle as the RDMS. Uportal seems to be working fine.
 
I edited the build.properties file for HyperContent as follows:
 
deploy=C:/_work/tom5019/webapps/uPortal
common.lib=C:/_work/tom5019/common/lib
runtime.dir=C:/_work/tom5019/webapps/uPortal
 
I then installed HyperContent1.4 by running ant with the default target. It
installs without error. 
 
I notice that an entry in the uPortal table, UP_CHANNEL, exists for Content
Manager.
 
However, when I log into uPortal as admin, I can't find the Content Manager
channel. I can find a heap of other channels/content via the Preferences ->
Add Content and looking through the Content Subscriber.
 
Please help me finish getting HyperConnect installed. Any help greatly
appreciated.
 
Cheers
 
Mark

There is a filesystem API which you could implement to talk to a=20

Under HyperContent 1.4, the current release, you cannot publish=20

the appropriate channel type in uPortal.  HyperContent 2.0 will be=20

[Hypercontent-users] Other sources of information

[<jp...@ed...>]

Hi all:
=20
I have two doubts about HyperContent:
=20
1) Is there a way to load information from other types of repositories =
(not
filesystems but databases, for instance).
=20
2) Is there a way to automate Hypercontent so that instead of publishing =
to
a remote site it publishes it's contents as a Channel inside it's own
uPortal?
=20
=20
Thanks in advance

HyperContent 1.4 does support SFTP, but not SCP.  It would be possible 
to write an SCP implementation, but the protocol is limited and would 
not provide the full set of features that SFTP provides.

You can use different servers for each filesystem; if your project no 
longer shows up in the projects list, it is likely because the file is 
not parsing properly as XML.  You should check the portal log for 
errors, and double check your configuration for unbalanced tags or 
unescaped special characters.

Hello,
	I have embedded responses inline, and copied the mailing list on the  
reply.  I encourage you to follow up on the mailing list, as others may  
be interested in this information.

If you are outputting XHTML, try setting the output method to "xml".    
The "html" output method is not intended for XHTML.

Are there any errors on screen or in the logs?  Have you tried clicking  
the link that appears when the process is complete, to download the  
file?  Right clicking may not work in IE, but just clicking the link  
should work.

You can control the editing environment at a global level with the  
Content Types configuration file, or just within the resource-directory  
configuration for your project.  You can set up the default screen to  
be the upload editor, with the image editor as a secondary option.  See  
the manual chapters

http://localhost/cucms/preview/docs/manual/develop/mime.html

You can submit this as a feature request using the SourceForge "Request  
Feature / Enhancement" tracker at

This is a planned feature for a 2.x release of HyperContent.  It may  
not be available until early 2005, as the architectural overhaul for  
v2.0 is top priority right now.

Relative paths to images are not currently supported in the WYSIWYG  
editor.  You need to put the full repository path, e.g.  
"/images/test.jpg".

See above (it will work when you use the absolute path, and have  
previously previewed that image).

See note above about requesting features.

We have not done this, but it should work.  I would encourage you to  
add PHP to your Content Types configuration, and manage most of your  
php code in straight PHP files which you could upload into the system,  
and use XSL to produce php import tags and object references.
