[opencms-dev] including word documents in opencms pages

[Jon Mayes]

Hi all,

 

I am in the process of publishing a large number of word documents on
our intranet. I was going to do this by saving each word document using
the filtered html option in word, then including the resulting file in a
JSP page i.e. placing each respective document in a subdirectory
containing an index.jsp file containing template information, and using
the include directive to embed the word document within the page. Here's
the code in case that's ambiguous:

 

<code>

    cms.include(template, "head");

 

    out.println("<div class=\"worddoc\">");

    cms.include("document.htm");

    out.println("</div>");

 

    cms.include(template, "foot");

</code>

 

And the file structure:

 

manuals/title1/index.jsp

manuals/title1/document.htm

manuals/title2/index.jsp

manuals/title2/document.htm

manuals/title3/index.jsp

manuals/title3/document.htm

 

where the index.jsp files are all siblings.

 

This works fine (with some fiddling with the CSS), but when I use the
search function it's picking out the document.htm file in each instance
- so that when a user clicks the search result link the document appears
without the site template, which obviously is bad for user experience
due to inconsistency.

 

The way I've done this seems like a rather inelegant solution, so I was
wondering if anyone knows of a better way in which I could accomplish
the same thing, or at least a method I could employ such that the
template is preserved throughout the search results.

 

Many thanks in advance,
