Hi Roman,
Thanks for the example, but I think I've already got that stuff
covered. Here is my sub-module site.xml...
<project name="Module A">
<version position="navigation-top"/>
<publishDate position="right"/>
<bannerLeft>
<name>Allure Global Solutions</name>
<href>http://www.allureglobal.com/</href>
</bannerLeft>
<body>
<menu ref="parent"/>
<menu name="Module A">
<item name="Overview" href="index.html"/>
</menu>
<menu ref="reports"/>
<menu ref="modules"/>
</body>
</project>
I have an index.apt file in the "apt" directory with the "Overview"
information. The breadcrumbing stuff is gone, for now. I never could
figure out how to make that work. It would create the breadcrumb trail
on the final page, but the links never pointed where I expected them
to. My main project site.xml looks very similar to the above.
Originally, I was counting on it being inherited by the modules, but I
created individual files and source trees after that failed to work out.
Jacob Robertson asked if I had deployed. Yes, and distribution
management set up to send it to a file: location. The pages all look
exactly as I would expect them to, except that I can not get a link back
to the parent from either of the modules, nor can I get breadcrumbing to
work. My real project only has one level of modules, so breadcrumbing
isn't as valuable. is the <menu ref="parent"/> that I can't get to play
nice.
<distributionManagement>
<site>
<id>sitetest.ihicks.org</id>
<name>Site Test</name>
<url>file:///Users/dhicks/Documents/workspace/test_site</url>
</site>
</distributionManagement>
This is a very simple test project with two modules. I set it up
because it takes about 12 to 15 minutes to generate the site for my real
project. I figured I could do something like this to help speed up the
"development" while I figure out how to get these things to work.
Thanks for the feedback guys.
