AW: [opencms-dev] Query String Parameters and Static Export

[Mark Miller]

That is pretty much the functionality that my news module adds. It uses
JSP templates to generate a static html page for each news item.

You can define in the News channels
- where each channel should be exported too
- Which template to use to generate the static page
- which files need to be touched (ie. if you have pages with navigation
links to the files)

I personally export each channel to a separate folder and create an
index.html.jsp page to list the items. I can get the news item id from
the properties of the file, and then use the NewsContentDefinition class
to access all information for the item. Works well for me.

When the pages are exported, I use the news item date to generate the
NavPos so I can use the normal opencms navigation techniques if I want.

You can get the version at
http://www.hema.ch/personal/mark.miller/opencms/module_news.html

Full source is included within the module under the /src/ folder.

Hope this helps,

All the best,

mark

Betreff: [opencms-dev] Query String Parameters and Static Export

Hi there,

The static export documentation describes what happens when links with 
query string parameters are followed:

/news.html?newsid=7&channelid=25 -> /news_1.html
/news.html?newsid=44&channelid=3 -> /news_2.html
...
The parameters will be substituted to a consecutive number. There is no 
relationship
between the consecutive number and the URL parameters.

I have a couple of questions:

1) Does this feature work with JSP templates, or only the legacy
templates?

2) Is there any way to change the settings such that the generated 
static file name *does* reflect the values of the query parameters?  For

example:

/news_7_25_html

It would be much better for search engine indexing if the generated file

names were "predictable".

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Best regards,
Andrew Kerr
