cudami Website Frontend Webapp

This webapp is an out of the box cudami Website "viewer": It provides the web-frontend (HTML) for a website and its webpages created in cudami.

Prerequisites

All you need to do before using this webapp is

• create a website (in cudami Management webapp)
• create webpages under this website (in cudami Management webapp)

Run

Basic configuration

Copy the UUID of the created website and start this webapp

• giving the UUID of the website and
• the server url of the cudami backend (API) (without trailing slash) as params like this, e.g.:

java -jar cudami-website-frontend-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar \
  --cudami.server.url=http://localhost:9000 \
  --cudami.website=ea9ddc66-e822-4867-9585-a43c6ed8bd98

(Note: pass arguments with double dash -- AFTER -jar-argument)

Open your browser and request http://localhost:8080.

The website will be rendered with all webpages (down to given level, default = 3) as sidebar navigation.

Advanced configuration

Grouped content and footer webpages

If you want to cluster your website's webpages into pages that are

• content pages (shown in sidebar main navigation) and
• footer pages (shown in footer bar at bottom of each page)

you can specify the parent webpage UUID for

• content pages using --cudami.webpages.content and
• footer pages using --cudami.webpages.footer

Navigation levels

To specify how many hierarchical webpage levels should be shown in sidebar navigation, the config property template.navMaxLevel has to be provided (by specifying e.g. --template.navMaxLevel=2) If you do not specify the property, the default is 3.

Logging level

By default the logging level is set to INFO. If you want to change the logging level exclusively (not globally) for the webapp classes e.g. to DEBUG set the config property logging.level.de.digitalcollections.cudami.frontend to DEBUG (by specifying --logging.level.de.digitalcollections.cudami.frontend=DEBUG)

Complete example

An example using all possible configuration properties (debug logging level included):
