Andy Jefferson commented on DOXIA-104:
--------------------------------------
Yes, I'm aware that if things are validated against XSDs then that wont
validate but it is a perfectly reasonable requirement to be able to specify a
page to be in a particular horizontal and vertical navigation position. If
there is some other way of providing this then please tell me what it is.
If M2/Doxia is never going to support flexible horizontal/vertical navs that we
require (in some way), then M2 will never be an option for us since site
generation is a key part of any project
> Support use of custom properties in XDOC files

> Key: DOXIA-104
> URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/DOXIA-104
> Project: doxia
> Issue Type: Task
> Affects Versions: 1.0-alpha-8
> Reporter: Andy Jefferson
> Priority: Critical
>
> In the JPOX Maven1 use of "site" we tagged all (XDOC) docs like this
> <document>
> <properties>
> <title>Application Identity</title>
> <jpoxpagetype>Persistence</jpoxpagetype>
> <jpoxversion>1_2</jpoxversion>
> </properties>
> ...
> </document>
> since XDOCs werent validated against any DTD etc.
> Then in site.jsl we could access these properties via
> <j:set var="jpoxpage_param">
> <x:expr select="./properties/jpoxpagetype"/>
> </j:set>
> With Maven2 I don't see how I can do this. I define my own skin for JPOX and
> in site.vm I have $title, $authors but nothing more. Delving into Doxia I see
> where they were set up. No allowance for users own properties.
> The requirement for JPOX is that we have a large number of documents, and we
> tag each doc for particular categories ... which will then appear on the web
> site as horizontal navigation (the default Maven skin only has the navColumn
> ... vertical navigation). By being able to tag docs into
> categories/subcategories etc we can then generate a site that the user
> selects a horizontal nav category, and then a horizontal nav sub-category,
> and they see vertical navigation within that subcategory. This was possible
> with Maven1 due to the above ability. Without an equivalent in Maven2 we
> cannot switch over.
> The JPOX docs (from Maven1) are available at
> http://www.jpox.org/docs/1_2/index.html
> so you can understand what is being talked about here. If you need any more
> info let me know.
