Adding a new Menu Item: "New MyDocument"

The Menubars can be found within the directory config/menus. Add the "New MyDocument" menu item to the appropriate menubar:


<menus>
  <menu name="File" label="File">
    <block>
      <item><xsp:attribute name="href">?lenya.usecase=create&amp;lenya.step=showscreen</xsp:attribute>New&#160;MyDocument</item>
    </block>

Adding usecase "create" to the sitemap

The pipelines of the usecases are located within usecase.xmap:


<map:pipeline>
  <map:match pattern="*/*/*/*/*/index.html">
    <map:match type="lenya-usecase" pattern="create">
      <map:match type="lenya-step" pattern="showscreen">
        <map:generate type="serverpages" src="../../content/authoring/parent-child.xsp"/>
        <map:transform src="../../xslt/authoring/create.xsl"/>
        <map:serialize type="html"/>
      </map:match>

      <map:match type="lenya-step" pattern="execute">
        <map:act type="parent-child">
          <map:redirect-to uri="{parent_uri}" session="true"/>
        </map:act>
        <map:redirect-to uri="index.html?lenya.usecase=create&amp;lenya.step=showscreen&amp;status=failed" session="true"/>
      </map:match>
    </map:match>
  </map:match>
</map:pipeline>

Create `doctypes.xconf`

The file doctypes.xconf is supposed to be located within the directory config/doctypes.


<doctypes>
  <doc type="nitf">
    <creator src="org.apache.lenya.cms.authoring.DefaultLeafCreator">
      <sample-name>nitf.xml</sample-name>
    </creator>
  </doc>

  <doc type="xhtml">
    <creator src="org.apache.lenya.cms.authoring.DefaultLeafCreator">
      <sample-name>xhtml.xml</sample-name>
    </creator>
  </doc>
</doctypes>

The sample documents are located within the directory config/doctypes/samples.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
