Forum OpenACS Q&A: Serving pre-formatted uploaded htmls

Hi.

My problem is the following: users upload htmls trough file
management, and then publish the link trough news or whatever. I want
to serve those pages with my own header and footer, automatically. Is
that already done, or i have to look for a place where hook code for
this?

I've been looking at static-pages module, but i still can't
undesrstand how the thing works.

Thanks in advance,

Jorge

This doesn't sound impossible.

After you have syncronized the documents with the db from /admin/static, ad_header and ad_footer should be invoked. (You can edit them to your liking) You might also wanna study the choises of in the parameters.tcl file.

Cheers!

Thanks for the comment...

I looked more thoroughly, and results that files are stored in the database... in some weird manner. There's no blob field in the fs_version table and there IS a "POSTGRESS don't know what to do" comment in the SQL documentation, but is a fact that the thing works. Somehow. Anyone could enlighten me on what's the deal with postgres and blobs?

So, static-files wouldn't work, but at least i found where the blob is served, so it's all about checking the mime type and using ad_serve_html_page or whatever it is called.

Thanks,

Jorge
