Re: [Ion-cms-help] Running ION on port 80?

this could come from another problem: if the 80 port is already assigned
to another service, then you would not be able to start the tomcat
server. typically, if you have a web server on this host, it surely has
already taken the poirt 80.

if the tomcat server runs well on 9001, your problem comes, imho, from
here.

[Ion-cms-help] Running ION on port 80?

[Simon, R. <rai...@ft...>]

Hi all!

I'm new to ION and I was wondering if you could run it on another port
than 9001.
Setting the parameter in Tomcat's server.xml file does not seem to work
- Tomcat=20
won't start after I've set the port to e.g. 80.

Thanks in advance!

Rainer

[Ion-cms-help] ou en est le projet ion ?

[Boris B. <bo...@ch...>]

Bonjour ;

Bonne et joyeuse année, pour commencer.

j'ai quelques questions concernant ion. Tout d'abord, je constate que la
mailing liste est inactive depuis juillet dernier. Je voulais donc
savoir dans un premier temps si le projet est encore en mouvement, ou
s'il avait été abandonné. 

Et, s'il n'est pas mort, une question plus technique : ion me paraît
vraiment être un cms étonnant. Un des plus beaux, avec plone amha.
Y a-t-il possibilité de changer le design ou template graphique de
l'interface ? je suppose qu'il est possible de modifier la css (tiens je
vais essayer), mais sur la structure, etc.. ?

merci pour vos réponses,

[Ion-cms-help] Localization, sorry last LocalizationPatch was incomplete

[Jan P. <Jan...@bl...>]

Hi List, Hi Joachim,         

 

i just realised that there was an old menu.jsp in the LocalizationPatch.
Because of this the localizedMenus have been ignored. This is now fixed, so
that you should see a French, English or German menu, depending on your
locale. The current LocalizationPatch is 030722. 

 

Regards

Jan Prill

 

PS: Joachim are you reading on the ion-cms-help list, then I won't send you
Ccs anymore.

[Ion-cms-help] Localization

[Jan P. <Jan...@bl...>]

Hi, List, Hi, Joachim

=20

I've made an ion-cms Localization patch available in the sourceforge =
file
section. With mainly the effort of Joachim Friedrich there will be a
completely localized version of ion-cms soon. Hopefully this will =
attract
the international community of cms-users and developers.

=20

Regards Jan Prill

=20

This is the readme.txt of the patch:

=20

This patch includes the localization for the ion-cms-backoffice. The
localization of ion-cms is pretty much work in progress. Until the
localization of the backoffice and the ion core framework (low level =
admin)
is finalized, the localization efforts of mainly Joachim Friedrich will =
be
available as patches. Afterwards a localized version will be made =
available
as a complete distribution.

=20

The localization mainly takes place in Struts <bean:message ...> - Tags. =
The
messages are stored in =
org.nextime.ion.backoffice.message.Message.properties
and localized ResourceBundles like Message_fr.properties.

=20

In the backoffice there are a few configuration files (in xml-format) =
which
contents are also used in the view-layer. These are conf/templates.xml,
tomcat/webapps/backoffice/xml/menu.xml and /workflow/basic.xml. For =
these
files I found the most clearly arrangement to have localized =
configuration
files in another folder, e.g. conf/localizedTemplates/templates_fr.xml.
Another approach could be to use the xml:lang attribute inside one
xml-configuration-file. In my opinion this approach blows the xml-files =
up
too much.

=20

Since the localization of the workflow engine takes part in source files =
I
haven't already been messing around with, by now there are only
localizations in english-language in the /workflow/basic.xml.

=20

Just extract the patch and copy the folder structure in your
ion0.8-Installation overwriting all files that are already there.

=20

Modified sources for the xml-part of the localization is in
/tomcat/webapps/backoffice/src/org/nextime/ion/beans/SectionTypes.java,
.../actions/MenuAction.java and all classes that use the
SectionTypes.getSectionBean and SectionTypes.getSectionBeans methods.

[Ion-cms-help] AW: ion-cms

[Jan P. <Jan...@bl...>]

Hi, Guillaume, Hi, Joachim,

wow, that is great news. Hopefully I'll find the time to translate the =
site
skeleton I made this week. Today I've installed ion-cms on my =
puretec-server
(puretec is a large provider in germany). I want to port the =
html-mock-up of
www.blauton.de to this system and use the content management system to
maintain the site in German and English language, my English is not so =
well
and I hope that I'll find a native English speaker to translate texts =
and
correct my translations.

I don't think that my server has enough power to provide a public =
available
demo version of ion-cms but we could provide interested persons with a =
demo
login so that they can see how great the ion-cms works without the need =
of
installing and downloading it at first.

In my opinion an ejb-version of ion-cms would be pretty cool. We could
utilize xdoclet ( http://www.xdoclet.org ) to be able to provide ports =
for
different application-servers. I've already run tests on jboss-jetty and =
was
able to run the compiled ion0.8 (of course without bmp or cmp entity =
beans).
I'm pretty sure that the jboss-community would show a great interest on =
a
real ejb-cms, since their nukes port
(http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=3Dhtml&op=3Duserdisplay&id=3Ddeve=
lopers/pr
ojects/nukes/index follows a pretty poor design concept.

There definitely is great interest on a well designed framework based =
cms. I
already had contact with Joachim Friedrich for example who seems to be
willing to contribute documentations. He already sent me his documented
observations while playing with ion-cms. Great Stuff - thank you, =
Joachim,
by the way!!! I will publish yours and mine observations throughout this
week.

hi jan,

i was very impressed by the work which you made on ion-cms.
it's really good job. it's true that the project is not very=20
active in this moment. however i hope relaunch the project as soon
as possible. last week i met people of the objectweb consortium=20
(www.objectweb.org), and we discussed about to do something together.
it could be nice to port ion-cms on their J2EE middlewares (in =
particular
jonas and bonita).
for the moment i propose to you to join our team on sourceforge.=20
i will add you the rights for the CVS and the project management.=20
i think also it could be nice to translate the content of your site=20
to replace the 'old content' of the official site.

[Ion-cms-help] ion-cms help page

[Jan P. <Jan...@bl...>]

Hi, List,=20

First of all I would like to say that it was great News to hear from =
Dimitri
Muringer, one of the core developers. As he posted on the list, the
development of ion-cms continues, and the product will stay open source. =


I've begun with the development of a help page. On this place I want to =
post
documentations while I'm continuing with my approach of understanding =
the
ion-cms code base. By now the page is only available as a skeleton in =
German
language. As you may have guessed my English is a little poor, but I =
will
provide an English version anyway. If a native speaker is able to =
translate
my documents that would be great, since writing in English is very time
consuming for me. Here you may find the German version:
<http://www.blauton.de/ion/> http://www.blauton.de/ion/ . I'm planning =
to
launch an own domain for the ion-cms help page and other cms evaluating
affords of mine. This will be  <http://www.inviado.com>
http://www.inviado.com or  <http://www.inviado.de> http://www.inviado.de =
,
which are by now both InFrame-Fowarded to  <http://www.blauton.de/ion/>
http://www.blauton.de/ion/ . This may be a little confusing, I'll keep =
you
informed until everything is ready.=20

Here is what I want to do throughout the next days and weeks:=20

Short-term goals=20

- I'll work myself through the source code and the xml config files and =
will
thereby document my observations.=20
- I'll localize French GUI-components as they come along my way.=20
- I'll update the used Java Libraries.=20
- I'll write some getting started kind of step by step guides, to help =
you
on your first steps in ION-CMS. First tests however are very easy - =
genuine
plug ' n play!=20
- I'll ask you for translations, corrections and own documentations, =
which
could get published on the help page. Please contact me (
<mailto:Jan...@bl...> Jan...@bl... )=20

Middle-term goals=20
- Some more Community features should be enabled, I think about an
interactive task-list, from which interested developers may check out =
tasks
in order to work on them.=20
- If the Core Development Team stays silent, we need to get our own CVS
server up and running. I'll organize server power for this task (I wrote
this before I heard from Dimitri).=20
- Beside the stand-alone-running demo version, we need a release that =
will
integrate in existing application servers (this shouldn't be too =
difficult,
I'm pretty sure that it will be ready for download till end of July)=20
- Bug fixes=20

Long-term goals=20
- Real platform independence, i. e. support of a broad base of =
application
servers and persistence layers.=20

Please don't mind that I will keep asking, I know that you haven't got =
the
time to answer. Anyway, in my opinion it is quite important to generate =
some
traffic on the lists and the forum just to show that the project is =
still
alive. So after I got a clue about the source code I probably will =
provide
the answers myself.=20

[Ion-cms-help] about ION features

[<lu...@ze...>]

Hello,
this is a "newbie" question.

very interested in ION, i'm wondering a few things regarding the "out of the 
box" features available within the application.

1) Is it possible to define Publication type easily through the back office, 
without writing Java and/or XML ?

2) How to select in the front what will be the publication type associated to a 
section ? How to publish a pulication in several sections ?

If you have the answer for those points, please let me know !

Thanks for your help.

[Ion-cms-help] Installation on standard/regular JSP Container (Tomcat 4.1.18/JBoss/WebLogic)

[Michael F. W. K. <ka...@tm...>]

Hi All,

If you do not want to use the standard tomcat that is distributed with ION-CMS. how do you configure it to work with say Tomcat 4.1.18 or 24. or other JSP Containers like JBoss or Weblogic.

I tried to install it on a regular Tomcat 4.1.18. (I am testing it so that I can upload it to a hosting server who provides Tomcat hosting but not a dedicated server) The problem I face is that when I tried to start Tomcat. I configured and copied ION-CMS files to a regular Tomcat installation. The error i got was a MappingException. unknown protocol e. And it keeps looping until it runs out of resources.

===============

[Indexation] ReIndexation
org.nextime.ion.framework.mapping.MappingException: Nested error: java.net.Malfo

Anyone has any idea how to fix this?

Re: [Ion-cms-help] Starting Ion - Win98

[Robert D. <rj...@sh...>]

It may be funny to reply to my own question, but I kept working at it and noticed in the install instructions for 0.5 that if you are having trouble with the launcher - go directly to the bin directory and launch tomcat. I had to set my CATALINA_HOME in my autoexec.bat(c:\ion\tomcat) - but I was finally able to get it going ! 
Then I tried the 0.6 version and I was able to get it to start as well !! 

So ....... Using the 0.6 version I notice that the admin page is in French ! Un peu probleme - Je ne parle pas francaise ! All the others are in English.
The fix for me was setting the CATALINA_HOME and starting from the startup.bat in the c:\ion\tomcat\bin directory.

Is there an English version of the admin-ion ??

[Ion-cms-help] Publications

[Andrew P. <and...@pr...>]

I have downloaded the ION CMS and have it running.

I have been playing with the front office.

I have created my own section for 'Publications'

On the home page I would like to have the latest 3 publications listed like the
latest 3 news items are.

I am not sure where the variables that are used in the tag libraries are set.
I am pretty sure I need to change the value of 
ionStatus.currentSection.metaData['sectionReference

I need to do this after the 3 news articles have come up.

Can someone let me know how to do this?

Code is below. It is modified from the 0.6 version of home.jsp

				
	<CENTER><b>Latest Publications</b></CENTER>
					<!-- display 
the 3 most recents Publications of the section given on refernce -->
					<c:if
