SISU - CONFIGURATION,
RALPH AMISSAH
************************************
CONFIGURATION OF ENVIRONMENT
============================
1. CONFIGURATION
----------------
1.1 DETERMINING THE CURRENT CONFIGURATION
.........................................
Information on the current configuration of *SiSU* should be available with the
help command:
sisu -v
which is an alias for:
sisu --help env
Either of these should be executed from within a directory that contains sisu
markup source documents.
1.2 CONFIGURATION FILES (CONFIG.YML)
....................................
*SiSU* configration parameters are adjusted in the configuration file, which
can be used to override the defaults set. This includes such things as which
directory interim processing should be done in and where the generated output
should be placed.
The *SiSU* configuration file is a yaml file, which means indentation is
significant.
*SiSU* resource configuration is determined by looking at the following files
if they exist:
./_sisu/sisurc.yml
~/.sisu/sisurc.yml
/etc/sisu/sisurc.yml
The search is in the order listed, and the first one found is used.
In the absence of instructions in any of these it falls back to the internal
program defaults.
Configuration determines the output and processing directories and the database
access details.
If *SiSU* is installed a sample sisurc.yml may be found in /etc/sisu/sisurc.yml
CONFIGURATION OF DOCUMENTS
==========================
2. SKINS
--------
Skins modify the default appearance of document output on a document,
directory, or site wide basis. Skins are looked for in the following locations:
./_sisu/skin
~/.sisu/skin
/etc/sisu/skin
*Within the skin directory* are the following the default sub-directories for
document skins:
./skin/doc
./skin/dir
./skin/site
A skin is placed in the appropriate directory and the file named skin_[name].rb
The skin itself is a ruby file which modifies the default appearances set in
the program.
2.1 DOCUMENT SKIN
.................
Documents take on a document skin, if the header of the document specifies a
skin to be used.
@skin: skin_united_nations
2.2 DIRECTORY SKIN
..................
A directory may be mapped on to a particular skin, so all documents within that
directory take on a particular appearance. If a skin exists in the skin/dir
with the same name as the document directory, it will automatically be used for
each of the documents in that directory, (except where a document specifies the
use of another skin, in the skin/doc directory).
A personal habit is to place all skins within the doc directory, and symbolic
links as needed from the site, or dir directories as required.
2.3 SITE SKIN
.............
A site skin, modifies the program default skin.
2.4 SAMPLE SKINS
................
With *SiSU* installed sample skins may be found in:
/etc/sisu/skin/doc and
/usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/doc
(or equivalent directory) and if sisu-markup-samples is installed also under:
/usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/non-free/_sisu/skin/doc
Samples of list.yml and promo.yml (which are used to create the right column
list) may be found in:
/usr/share/doc/sisu/sisu_markup_samples/dfsg/_sisu/skin/yml (or equivalent
directory)
3. HOMEPAGES
------------
*SiSU* is about the ability to auto-generate documents. Home pages are regarded
as custom built items, and are not created by *SiSU*. More accurately, *SiSU*
has a default home page, which will not be appropriate for use with other
sites, and the means to provide your own home page instead in one of two ways
as part of a site's configuration, these being:
1. through placing your home page and other custom built documents in the
subdirectory _sisu/home/ (this probably being the easier and more convenient
option)
2. through providing what you want as the home page in a skin,
Document sets are contained in directories, usually organised by site or
subject. Each directory can/should have its own homepage. See the section on
directory structure and organisation of content.
3.1 HOME PAGE AND OTHER CUSTOM BUILT PAGES IN A SUB-DIRECTORY
.............................................................
Custom built pages, including the home page index.html may be placed within the
configuration directory _sisu/home/ in any of the locations that is searched
for the configuration directory, namely ./_sisu; ~/_sisu; /etc/sisu From there
they are copied to the root of the output directory with the command:
sisu -CC
3.2 HOME PAGE WITHIN A SKIN
...........................
Skins are described in a separate section, but basically are a file written in
the programming language *Ruby* that may be provided to change the defaults
that are provided with sisu with respect to individual documents, a directories
contents or for a site.
If you wish to provide a homepage within a skin the skin should be in the
directory _sisu/skin/dir and have the name of the directory for which it is to
become the home page. Documents in the directory commercial_law would have the
homepage modified in skin_commercial law.rb; or the directory poems in
skin_poems.rb
class Home
def homepage
# place the html content of your homepage here, this will become index.html
<<HOME <html>
<head></head>
<doc>
<p>this is my new homepage.</p>
</doc>
</html>
HOME
end
end
