Checkout Demo Project

To get a copy of a Hippo project, you would normally check it out with svn:

svn checkout http://svn.hippocms.org/repos/hippo/ecm/site-toolkit/tags/Release-HSTTWO-v2_04_01

It should also work without svn if you just copy the whole tree from the site.

It should also work if you just took the demosuite folder.

Go to the root folder of the folder tree you received:

cd Release-HSTTWO-v2_04_01

Now use maven 2 for building. Note that you need at least apache-maven-2.0.9 for building the HST2 project.

mvn clean install -DskipTests

cd demosuite/cms

mvn jetty:run-war

Wait until you see:

[INFO] Started Jetty Server
[INFO] Starting scanner at interval of 5 seconds.

This process will keep that terminal occupied (unless you started it in the background).

In another terminal:

cd demosuite/site

mvn jetty:run

The run goal will allow you to immediately see the result of changes you make to the site.

In your browser, open:

 http://localhost:8080/cms

you will see the login screen for the CMS. This is were users will write documents and add other content. Also open:

http://localhost:8085/site/preview

In the demo, the published site is largely empty, as only a few documents have been published. You will see for example on

http://localhost:8085/site/news/2008

the title 'Displaying 0 of 0 results'. You can login as admin in the CMS and publish all documents. You will see them appear immediately on the published site:

 

At any time, you can find the newest tag or release in:

  http://svn.hippocms.org/repos/hippo/ecm/site-toolkit/tags/
