Using The Hippo CMS Rijkshuisstijl Toolkit Archetype
We proudly announce the release 1.4 of ‘The Hippo CMS Rijkshuisstijl Toolkit archetype’. This toolkit offers web developers a faster way to create Dutch government websites based on the Rijkshuisstijl (the official User Interface Guideline for implementing such websites), using the ‘Webrichtlijnen’ best practices.
The purpose of this toolkit is to create an out of the box Hippo CMS 7 project with a ready for use Rijkshuisstijl site.
Requirements
In order to use the Maven archetype, you will need to have Java 6 and Maven version 2.2.1 or higher installed.
Creating the project
There are 16 color templates defined in the Rijkshuisstijl that can be used within the archetype:
Replace the following variables in the Maven archetype commands:
-Dcolor= The color template of the new project. (e.g. light_blue) if not specified, the color ‘red’ will be used in the site.
-DgroupId= The base package of the new project. (e.g. com.mycompany).
-DartifactId= The name of the new project. (e.g. myproject*).
Open your console, go to the folder where your project should be created and run the Maven archetype command:
mvn archetype:generate \ -DarchetypeRepository=www.iprofs.nl/repository/ \ -DarchetypeGroupId=nl.iprofs \ -DarchetypeArtifactId=rijkshuisstijl-toolkit-archetype \ -DarchetypeVersion=1.4 \ -DgroupId=my.company \ -DartifactId=myproject \ -Dversion=1.0 \ -Dcolor=ruby
A new folder will be created (with the specified name in artifactId*), containing a Hippo CMS 7 project and sub-modules with the following file structure:
| /cms/ | Hippo CMS project |
| /site/ | The HST-2 Java Web Application project |
| /conf/ | Hippo configuration |
| /content/ | Bootstrap content project |
| /documentation/ | Rijkshuisstijl 4.4 / Webrichtlijn 2.0 documentation. |
| /pom.xml | The parent maven pom |
Building and running the generated project
mvn clean install
to run the CMS and website:
mvn -P cargo:run
By starting the server the CMS and the Site will become available:
CMS http://localhost:8080/cms
Site http://localhost:8080/site
