Tried with webgen 0.4.7 under Mac OSX with ruby 1.8.6 and it works.
Tried it with latest One-Click-Installer on Windows (ruby 1.8.6
(2007-09-24 patchlevel 111) [i386-mswin32]) and it works there, too.

This must have slipped by, I normally try to answer within a reasonable
timeframe.

Please update to the latest version of the One-Click-Installer since
the version you are using has a known other bug that prevents webgen
from working correctly.

  Thomas

Subject: [webgen-users] overriding ContentConverter
Message-ID: <418361960802050149pb83ccc0ic9505332dbaba75b@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,
For my own legacy plugins (<footnote>, <rot13> and <isbn>, see in
archvies for more info), I've written a ContentConverter to handle
them in 0.4.
This content converter contains, for now, the following code

class NdxConverter < ContentConverters::DefaultContentConverter
	infos( :name => 'ContentConverter/NdxConverter',
		:author => "Nicolas Delsaux",
		:summary => "Just a hack to allow me to use my old-style tags in
modern Webgen"
	)

	HandlerPlugin.register_handler 'ndx'

	def call( _content )
		puts "some content found"
		"<b>"+_content+"</b>"
	end
end

When calling webgen show config with 0.4, it well display my
NdxConverter as an existing converter, but without any associated
format :

  ContentConverter/NdxConverter
    Summary              Just a hack to allow me to use my old-style
tags in modern Webgen
    Author               Nicolas Delsaux

Notice there is no "handler for" info.


 However, when specifying in a page
--- content, ndx

I've got the following error :

ERROR -- Invalid page file <C:/Documents and Settings/Maison/Bureau/nicolas-dels
aux.is-a-geek/src/Culture/Science-fiction/catherine_dufour.page>: Invalid conten
t format specified: ndx

I think my issue come from the unspecified 'handler for' info. How can
I specify it ?
Furthermore, how is the order of the various content converters defined ?

Just call register_handler 'ndx' without the HandlerPlugin! This will
do the trick!

You'll obviously tell me that there is a problem, since there are more
than one content document. And I'll completely agree with you.
Unfortunatly, I'm unable to create a compliant document, since the
ruby YAML library does not seems to provide a way to add the required
"options" or the things that should do the trick in document header,
in order to tell webgen the last document should not be the content
one, but rather a kind of AmazonAsin content block.
So, do you know any solution to solve that issue ?
For your information, I add section using
http://www.ruby-doc.org/core/classes/YAML/Stream.src/M007467.html

YAML::Stream.add(doc)

I'll make it available maybe today on my website.
 But remember it can't be considered as a working plugin, since pages
 contains more than one document starting with "--- \n".
 So never consider it as a stable plugin. It's for now only a
 development version, but I have high goals for this little dev.
 For now, you can take a look at
 http://nicolas.delsaux.free.fr/webgen/informatique/web/webgen/pseudo-tags.en.html
 http://nicolas.delsaux.free.fr/webgen/informatique/web/webgen/isbn.en.html

 And you should obtain a quasi-working system (but no displayabled
 ISBN). Also, take car e I may change the megastore folder in a near
 future.
 And finally notice that this code should be LGPL-licensed.

Just escape the three dashes with a backslash like in the following

If I understand your problem correctly, this should solve your

 This could be a solution. However, what I want is each data grabbed
 from a provider in its own document.
 So your solution, although promising, seems to be not so appliable.
 What I would really would like to have is a document name per document.
 I was thinking, since you're able to read from YAML the
 document/parser, would be to be able to write them, like, say ...

 --- content
 blablabla
 --- AmazonIsan
 # AmazonIsan content

Ah, okay, I misunderstood your problem. You want to generate a file in
WebPage Format with a metadata section, a content section and an
AmazonIsan section by using YAML. Since WebPage Format is *not* a
series of Yaml documents, this won't work this way. Since I have not
written a class for creating pages in WebPage Format, you will need to
do that manually, but this isn't too hard. Just dump the meta
information with hash.to_yaml, then add three dashes on a separate
line, then the content, then three dashes followed by 'AmazonIsan' and
then the AmazonIsan content.

Best regards,
  Thomas

Exactly, yes.

Damn, that's plain weird :-O (notice I do not critcize your choice, i
only express here my astonishment)

This sentence reminds me not-so-good job memories ;-)

Well, ... here come the drawback.
Take a look at my isbn_processor.rb
(http://nicolas.delsaux.free.fr/webgen/informatique/web/webgen/isbn.en.html).
Here is in short what it does.
For each isbn number in the isbn cache (this is a temporary step)
  For each grabber
    Grab content from the web (for Amazon, do a webservice query and
put result in a big has)
    Then put request result in our kind of hash
    Create a YAML document containing this Hash and push it inot YAML
stream (line 177)


Once that's done

For each non-header and non-content YAML document, load data and
choose best to populate content.

The goal is to maintain a cache of web result in a file nearby real
page (and what is more nearby than the file itself ?).
Obviously, i can think about a turnaround : create a isbn.page.cache
auxiliary file that would contain my YAML documents, then create the
isbn.page file with only relevant data.
Interesting, but a little more complciated, since I now have two files ...
However, i think I'll use this solution, to preserve the isbn.page
usability as webgen page (since my ultimate goal is to include it in
files using tyhe <isbn value=""/> tag)

Thanks for our lights.

I am producing my new website with webgen and have happened upon
something that I can't quite understand.

I have a template for the content pages of my website, but would like
the home page to have a different one.  Is there any way of have a
template just for this page without it nesting?

Yes, that's definitely possible. Just use the template meta information
in your home page. If your home page is called home.page, it should
look something like this:

---
title: Home Page
template: homepage.template
inMenu: true
---
This is my homepage.


And the template 'homepage.template' would need to look like this:

---
template: ~
---
Here goes the template content.


Notice the two 'template' metainfo keys: the one in home.page is used
to tell webgen that this page is rendered in the template
'homepage.template'. A the one in 'homepage.template' says that the
default.template file should not be used - meaning that the template
chain stops here.

So webgen would see the following rendering chain for 'home.page':

homepage.template -> home.page

  Thomas

Dear Thomas,

Many thanks, this is exactly what I've been looking for. Look out for
our new webgen produced website (http://www.queens.ox.ac.uk) in the
next few weeks.

Thanks for the great software.

Best wishes,

Marc Argent
