There are two places I've found good code and ideas for dynamic web pages and content management systems (whichever term you prefer). One is Jon Udell's Practical Internet Groupware. The other is the Everything code. The latter runs this site.
You may not do things the same way, but if you study the code you'll find how people are making this work in the real world. | [reply] |
Looking at the search pages, that's a huge waste of time
and effort to make static html pages out of each of those
articles, since the articles are searchable anyways. A
single, dynamically generated html page looks to be a good
choice. There are numerous small scripts out there to be
looked at via places such as http://cgi.resourceindex.com/
and others like it. A couple examples I came across after
some searching around:
http://www.summersault.com/software/db_browser/index.html
http://www.rede.com/samples/image_gallery.html
or, if you're feeling adventurous, you can always check out
http://slashcode.org.
As always, don't forget the usefulness of the DBI and
appropriate DBD man pages. | [reply] |
You say you are looking for "a better way to put the database out there"... exactly what do you mean by this? Do you want to have more complex searches or are you just talking about style? As for speed, I think it will only get slower for you from here, not to mention that this "way" is already implemented... Also, if you have to consider adding additional entries, you will either need to build an interface or go straight into the database to add entries... the way you are currently setup you could take your content and slap some HTML tags around it and be done.(ok, maybe a little formatting :) | [reply] |
check out extropia.com; i worked on a project adapting
some of their stuff, and you can see the results at:
