[sword-devel] Re: sword-devel Digest, Vol 20, Issue 28

Sat Nov 26 17:16:28 MST 2005

Yiguang,
	Hey, so you got your lexicon working?  I was planning to spend this 
weekend looking at your data.  Please let me know if you still need 
help.  How did you check to see if the lexicon was working?  I don't 
think we have a lexicon display page in the current swordweb tool.

	To get started with changing the webapp, I would suggest doing an svn 
update one last time to be sure you have the latest versions of all the 
files.

	If you are adding new features, we would love to have you commit them 
back to our repository so everyone running the tool can take advantage 
of your work.  Otherwise, if you are just customizing it for your site, 
then you shouldn't need to worry about keeping up to date with svn.

	To get started customizing for your site, you can either copy one of 
the existing .css files (the one closest to the style you like) and 
modify it to your liking, or else you can change the .jsp files 
directly.   There aren't very many jsp files-- one pretty much for each 
kind of display: passage study, parallel study, general book, etc.

	If you just modify the CSS, then you can continue to svn update your 
site and get new features when we add them.  If you want to modify the 
.jsp pages to radically change the way the site works, then you'll have 
more control, but you likely won't be able to continue to update from 
our svn server.  I hope this makes sense.  You probably know all this 
already anyway.

	Please let me know if I can help in any way.

	-Troy.
