Hi Miki,
In the bricolage documentation and articles you will find a
lot of
emphasis on modeling documents, creating a story element
type and other
element types for items in the web pages etc..
An actual order of stuff would be (help here appreciated,
I'll miss
something):
1) Just use the default Site
2) Create an Output Channel (OC)
3) Create a Destination use FTP as the "Move
Method", add the OC to the
Destination, add a "Move" action, add the server
with the FTP username
and password and location of document root.
4) Create a story element type (with your OC as the Primary
OC, Main
site, / category)
5) Add a "Custom Field" to the story element type,
call it Paragraph.
6) Create a mason template (your OC) for your story element
something like:
<%perl>;
foreach my $e ( $element->get_elements(qw(paragraph)) {
$m->print('<p>', $e->get_data,
"</p>n");
}
</%perl>
7) Create an autohandler category template for the /
category your OC:
<html>
<body>
<%perl>
$burner->chain_next;
</%perl>
</body>
</html>
8) Create a new story via the Primary workflow
Story Type: your story element type
Category: /
Put stuff in your paragraph field (hello world)
Preview, Check in and Publish
The OC does some stuff with the file name your story (web
page) will end
up with via the URI or Fixed URI Format fields and the Use
Slug for
Filename check box in the OC definition.
I am unaware of a short, single tutorial leading through the
whole
process for the simplest case like a "Hello World"
web page. There are
some default element types in the base install that should
work with
some minimal changes to destination and maybe the templates.
That might
be a better place to start for a least effort tutorial or
howto.
