Hi Ben

I created the RPM for campsite (for FC3). There are some patches
embedded in the src rpm that you might find helpful -- you might want to
take a look. http://pye.dyndns.org/campsite/ or else on
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=66936&package_id=65091
I haven't got around to re-patching for a campsite 2.3.1 RPM yet
unfortunately.

The deb was generated from the RPM and so doesn't do a create_instance.
See the installation notes in rpm -qi campsite*.rpm or read here:

What is the name of the apache 'user' in the distro you're using? Check
that the ownership of the file as set my the installer corresponds to
something sensibe on your distro. On some systems the apache user is
called 'nobody', on others 'apache', on others I've even seen 'admin' or
'web'. This might be a problem coming from the fact that the package was
generated via Alien from an FC3 RPM.

Hi Ben

Here are my demo templates. Drop that file into your home directory then

cd /var/www/campsite/campsite/html/look
tar jxvf ~/fastnews-20051007.tar.bz2
chown -R apache.apache fastnews/

Then go into campsite admin and browse the templates. Hopefully you can
see them all.

The attached file is an sql script that contains a copy of my instance
database. You can install it either using phpMyAdmin or using the
'mysql' command. You should DROP DATABASE campsite, then CREATE DATABASE
campsite then SELECT DATABASE campsite then source this campsite.sql
file. Hope I got all that right.

Cheers
JP

Hmm just ahd a better idea.
Take the attached file and place it in /usr/share/campsite/backup
Then you should just be able to type

restore_instance -i campsite

Hopefully that works. I have some stuff in that installation that won't
work for you though, some stuff related to tracking and RSS that uses
files that won't be present in there. But it should be enough to get you
started.

Unfortunately, campsite does not display thumbnails automatically yet.
If you want a small version of an image you will have to upload it as a
separate image. As far as the images not showing up, send us your
template and we can take a look at it. I have also attached the
template for the campware.org homepage which does have images in it.

You can order them differently using the "order" keyword within the
"list articles" command.

You can say "order bydate desc|asc", "order bynumber desc|asc", or
"order byname desc|asc". The default order is the order they are in on
the admin pages (Mugur correct me if I am wrong).

"bydate" is creation date. (In 2.4 there will explicit "creation_date"
and "publish_date").

See:
http://code.campware.org/manuals/campsite/2.3/index.php?id=75

There is a project called the "Tracker" that someone was working on...I

Thats good to hear!


- Paul

Is there not something to be said for using the 'restore-instance'
feature of campsite to install the sample templates?
This allows people to rapidly test them.
And it makes them easier to work on collaboratively, to improve and to
package.

Mugur, any likely issues with that approach?
