Re: [Hypercontent-users] Initial install: missing lots of functions

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

Hi Leonard,
	There are no fancy editors, preview, build or publish in the Project 
Definitions project - all it does is store the XML configuration files 
for all the other projects.   This will be changing in version 2; the 
bootstrap project will contain all the xsl and velocity templates, 
localization files, pipeline and workflow definitions to run the basic 
system, allowing easy customization and addition of authoring and 
management screens.
	To get to some real content, you'll want to check out the sample 
project, which is a complete copy of the HyperContent web site 
showcasing most if not all the features v1.4 has to offer. The 
HyperContent web site should appear in your project listing if you are 
logged in as a Portal Admin and have the project filesystems properly 
configured.  If it does not appear, go into the Project Definitions 
project and open the projects folder, and look for a file called 
"hypercontent-site.xml".  If it is not there, there may have been a 
problem with the installation, which you may want to attempt to re-run. 
  If it is there, you should open it for editing (or download it and use 
a desktop text or xml editor).  It has four filesystems defined: 
repository, preview, build, and publish, which you should configure 
with absolute paths to the corresponding directories on your system (in 
the installation, the paths are relative, and configured for uPortal 
2.3.2 quickstart).  You can set up FTP or SFTP publishing as described 
in the manual, if you want to check it out.  There is a different SFTP 
library in CVS now, as there were some problems with the package used 
in 1.4 under heavy load, but it should be fine for evaluation.  I've 
been meaning to do a 1.4.1 release with the new SFTP and a few fixes to 
the navigation editor, but you don't have to wait for me, you can grab 
it from the hypercontent module in CVS - it mirrors the distribution, 
just without compiled code, and is stable.
