2014-07-20Implemented new "layered" site generation architectureAdrian Kummerlaender
* "source" directory contains layers as subdirectories ** ordered by their name ** e.g. layer 0 is "00_content" and contains the content alongside some metadata * transformations contained within the "source" layers are processed sequentally * transformations define their requirements in a "meta" variable ** the "meta" variable is interpreted by the core transformation "generate.xsl" * requirements are currently datasources and target information ** every transformation may have one datasource of type "main" *** this data source offers e.g. the option to iterate over it ** every transformation may have a arbitrary number of "support" datasources *** e.g. "meta" is a support datasource ** the target node may provide a fixed target path or a Xpath to be evaluated * the result of each transformation is written to the appropriate layer of the "result" directory * this approach to XSLT based static site generation should be quite flexible and offer good expandability ** e.g. adding new datasource options and types
2014-07-19Reactivated basic page generationAdrian Kummerlaender
* page template is called by the pages compiler * modified master transformation to match new meta structure * the context variable needed by the context transformation now has to be defined in every template using the transformation ** this is needed to accomodate different input DOM structures
2014-07-17Implemented basic page compilation facilitiesAdrian Kummerlaender
* templates in 'template/compiler' are automatically generated ** required datasources are extracted and merged automatically ** 'pages.xsl' is currently a dummy compiler * moved context helper templates into context stylesheet * added compiler directory to meta DOM * modified generator and transformer helper templates to enable usage of DOM as input
2014-07-16Restructured to enable automatic datasourcesAdrian Kummerlaender
* i.e. first the content source is mapped * after that every transformation in 'template/datasource/' is called using the content map as input ** the output of the datasource transformations is stored in 'datasource/'
2014-07-15Added "transform_in_context" helper templateAdrian Kummerlaender
* handles inclusion of the meta DOM in the input source of transformations called through that template ** i.e. simplifies transformation chaining
