Publication in Jigsaw

This page describes how to setup an editable space under Jigsaw. Today most of the authoring tools allows you to use the PUT method of HTTP to publish a document on a web server.

In the following configuration, the editable URL will be http://your-server-host/publications.

The tutorial will go through the following steps:

  1. Configuring a PUT indexer
  2. Configuring the editable space

Configuring a PUT indexer

NOTE: Since Jigsaw2.0beta3, there is a put-indexer already configured in the distribution.

First, read the indexer documentation. When you are more familiar with indexers you can go through the following steps:

1) Create the indexer, called it put-indexer for example. In this case the ContentTypeIndexer is the most appropriate indexer class to choose.

2) The put-indexer has three nodes: content-types, directories and extensions.

NOTE: Don't forget to set all Putable flag to on (in associated HTTPFrame).

3) Save your configuration, your new put-indexer is ready.


Configuring the editable space

We choose publications as our editable directory.

1) Create the directory  <instdir>/Jigsaw/Jigsaw/WWW/publications.

2) Open a JigAdmin window (see JigAdmin documentation).

3) Create the publications resource. It should be created automatically by the default indexer,  it should be a DirectoryResource associated to an HTTPFrame (but you can use a PassDirectory with an HTTPFrame).

4) Set the putable flag of the HTTPFrame associated to publications to on. Don't forget to commit your changes.

5) Set the put-indexer as the current indexer. Commit your changes.

6) Save your configuration, now you can PUT some new documents (and some new directories) in http://your-server-host/publications/ , enjoy!
