Hi Dave,
I a sure this is brought up before, Bu I have lost this one in the pile of mailings we have been sending,
Assuming the raw kb content is rendered to file from drupal’s database:
- The contents of these files can be injected into a template using the current framework.
- In order to have the ability to inject the kb content using various page templates: Do we want to create a php file for every kb content file which will contain the code to inject the kb content or we can use a file with get requests.
Example:
- article1.php --> reads common-sometemplate.html --> injects myarticle1.htm and article1.php is added to treeview for users.
Or
- some_template.php?article=kb12345 --> reads and injects the kb12345.htm and some_template.php?article=kb12345 is added to treeview for users.
Which one do you think is best fit into the current framework and CVS replication?
If I understand correctly, then 2) is what is required. Consider the .htaccess file in the root of the website.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /system/handler.php?page=$1 [QSA,L]
The majority of hits get caught by this rule. It takes a path such as:
/foo/bar.html
and rewrites it to:
/system/handler.php?page=/foo/bar.html
handler.php then inspects $_GET['page'] and launches the correct page formatter - for example, if it begins with 'ftp', then it will hand off to ftp.php. If is begins with 'docs', it will hand off to docs.php. I would add a newformatter there, probably pgdn.php, to handle all 'pgdn' paths.
Regards, Dave
