Hi,
I am trying to create a couple themes, and am working on getting the
workflow right. Although Velocity doesn't interfere too much with the
flow of HTML, and I can get a rough idea of what it'll look like
without the markup being fully rendered, I want to setup my workflow
so I can work on Velocity templates "live" and see changes
immediately. I believe this should be possible?
I have created a separate roller_themes/ directory outside of WEB-INF
and set it as my themes.dir.
I am having problems finding the right configuration so that both
Velocity and Application / Roller caching is switched off - and that
the .vm templates are reparsed/regenerated each time.
For the Application caching, I have tried the following settings in
roller-custom.properties:
cache.sitewide.enabled=false
cache.weblogfeed.enabled=false
cache.weblogpage.enabled=false
(of which, I think only cache.weblogpage.enabled=false is really
needed).
For turning off Velocity Caching, I have made sure the settings in
roller/WEB-INF/velocity.properties are as follows:
theme.resource.loader.cache=false
roller.resource.loader.cache=false
class.resource.loader.cache=false
webapp.resource.loader.cache=false
velocimacro.library.autoreload=true
Naturally I have restarted the web application after making these
configuration changes, but unfortunately, to no avail. Restarting the
web application of course, reloads the changed templates.
Help very much appreciated. I am not familiar enough with Velocity to
know if there is something I am missing.
Many thanks,
Alex
