שלומי, כולם,


למעשה, כבר כעת אלו הן ההגדרות של האתר, וקובץ ה- .htaccess אכן נמצא במקומו.


העובדה שהקישורים הם בפורמט של 17/16/ וכן הלאה, במקום עם סימני שאלה
וקריאה למודולים הרלבנטים, היא המעידה על כך.


התשובה שניתנה היא ההליך הבסיסי שהעברתי את האתר כבר מההתחלה.


שבוע טוב!

Hi!

Just for the record, here is a conversation from #joomla regarding this:

{
 Hi all.
 Can I change the Joomla URL of
  http://www.hamakor.org.il/content/view/17/26/ to something
  more meaningful like http:///mailing-lists/ ?
   rindolf yes
   in settings
   turn SEO on and mod_rewrite on
 winwinwin: mod_rewrite?
  hii
 winwinwin: the Apache mod_rewrite?
   rindolf yes
   rindolf turn it on
 winwinwin: hmmppf
   by mv htaccess.txt to .htacces
 winwinwin: and shouldn't I add directives to the .htaccess
  file.
 winwinwin: oh.
 winwinwin: htaccess.txt in the Joomla distribution.
 winwinwin: will Joomla know to do the right thing.
 ?
   rindolf turn them on in the setting panel
 winwinwin: turn what?
   three radio inputs actually
   go to admin and global settings
   just turn the first two on
   are you using RC3?
 winwinwin: I don't know what we're using.
   ok
   try it
   it would work fine
}

Fixing these problems in the new page will be much more effort than restoring 
the original page, and with less gain.

Fine. I asked, because this is one thing that I like about my current 
list-of-mailing-lists system, and am not sure exists in the new one.

I'll contribute when I have something to contribute. If you have any areas 
that need help, let me know and I'll try to dedicate some time to help with 
that.

mod_rewrite is a kludge and tends to break more often than not. I'd rather 
configure such URLs at the Joomla level.

Thanks for giving me the permissions and I'll try to investigate that.

I wasn't bitching. I mentioned some things that disturbed me and explained why 
I decided to restore the original mailing lists' list at a temporary location 
instead of the new one. It wasn't done maliciously, but as something I 
remembered when looking at the page on hamakor.org.il.

mod_rewrite מאפשר לך להקליד כתובת אחת, אבל בפועל לקבל כתובת אחרת. לא
צריך בהכרח תמיכה של מערכת ניהול התוכן.

Well, why don't you fix those problems, then? I'm sure no one will
complain if you put up an English page as well.

Last I checked, you also had permissions to edit .htaccess. I still
anxiously expect your contributions. Mod rewrite really is your friend
here. If Joomla has a better way of doing it, well, you have permissions
over that as well.

Bitching about stuff on open mailing lists is NOT the way to solve
problems. Particularly not problems you have permissions to solve. If
you don't like the way things are, make them better.

Well, first of all I should note that the choice was whether to update the 
list on www.hamakor.org.il, or restore the IGLU list, and update it somewhat. 
Restoring the IGLU list was much less work for me.

The problems I see in the www.hamakor.org.il page are:

1. Is in Hebrew. There are mailing lists whose main language is English, and 
it is possible that English speakers woudl like to subscribe them or 
otherwise learn about them.

2. Contain only a small subset of the information the original list contained.

3. Contains only a small part of the lists that are contained there. (And 
apparently only those in the domains of hamakor.org.il).



Plus, is there a way to add a mailing list by using meta-data, and let the 
page generate it or do I need to edit the HTML by hand? I generate the pages 
using meta-data and some Perl code.

I already have such permissions. (Thanks to Dotan).

BTW, is it possible to assign more meaningful URLs to the pages in the 
hamakor.org.il's Joomla than http://www.hamakor.org.il/content/view/17/26/, 
which is pretty meaningless. Something like 
http://www.hamakor.org.il/content/mailing-lists/ or whatever.

Any particular reason not to just update the list on hamakor servers at
http://www.hamakor.org.il/content/view/17/26/? I'm sure Dotan will love
