RE: [midgard] Question to midgard-functions
Thanks, i've tried to access the articles of my topics in the
same way, but the result is a little bit strange, because no articles
are shown.
My site-structure is the following:
topic(18)
-- subtopic(27)
article(28)
-- subtopic(28)
No article here at the moment
-- subtopic(29)
article(26)
article(24)
article(25)
article(27)
Here's the script:
$topic = mgd_list_topics(18);
if ($topic) {
while ($topic->fetch()) { ?>
&(topic.description:h);
id);
if ($article)
while ($article->fetch) { ?>
&(article.title);
So, I thought the script does the following:
Go to topic 18, have a look, if there are subtopics.
If yes, show the description of the subtopic. ('til this
point everything works fine). Have a look if there are
articles in this subtopic. If yes, show the article-id.
(but this doesn't work.It seems that the script never runs in the
"while ($article->fetch)".

Explanation is great -- may I suggest a flowcharting program which creates a graphic that can be placed up there? The only things you omitted which might confused some people is a reference to the other elements in midgard-root.php3, viz., code-init and code-global. It's not intuitive that midgard will be reading the midgard-root file, find a directive for code-init, and then look at the page definition to see if there is a replacement code-init. Also, code-global is where page-wide includes would go -- function libs, stuff like that. Any header(xxx) directive would have to go in one of these (or in root, before the code).

I'm not much of an artist but if the following explanation makes any
sense to you by all means have a stab at it.
"In the beginning there was the HTTP request..."
The HTTP request carries 3 important pieces of information:
- The hostname
- The portnumber
- The URI within the host
For Midgard to decide if an HTTP request matches a host under its care,
the hostname must match exactly (case insensitive I believe), the
port number must match or the port number in the database must be
set to 0 (wildcard), the prefix defined in the database must match
the start of the URI, and the host must be marked online.
Even if you send no portnumber the browser will send 80 for you
by default. When multiple hosts exist with the same name Midgard
will pick the one with the most specific portnumber (in other words
the non-0 one) and the longest prefix match (which may be of zero
length).
Having picked a host, midgard will walk the rest of the URI (with the
leading prefix, if any, stripped off) to find the specific page
record requested.
Each page specifies an associated style, either explicitly or simply
indicating inheritance from its parent.
So what we have now is a page and a style.
Midgard starts processing the midgard-root.php3 which will include a
element named ROOT. The style must define ROOT (either explicitly
or inherited) or nothing will happen. The ROOT may (usually will)
itself reference other elements, which in turn, etc. Each element
referenced is replaced with the contents of said element until
all element references have been expanded.
Page elements take precedence over inherited page elements of the same name,
inherited page elements over style elements, style elements over
inherited style elements. Elements that are referenced but not
present are replaced with zero content.
We have at this point a fully decorated page with no actual content.
That's no good.
There are two 'magic' element names, <[title]> and <[content]> that
will automatically be replaced with the title and content of the current
page, so if you store content there it will be placed in the makeup
built by the style.
Another way to insert content is to actively generate this. This is
most often, although by no means necesarily exclusively, used with
so-called 'active pages'. Active pages and static pages are both active
in the sense that they're PHP scripts, but while a static page will
only be activated for requests that target its URI directly, active
pages service anything that targets its URI and beyond. Everything
beyond the page URI is split on the slashes and passed to the script in
the argv array, so if /article is an active page than the script would
be passed the array ('about', 'you', 'and', 'me') when servicing
/article/about/you/and/me.html.
The script can use this information to gather information from the
topic trees or even external data; everything the script in the
page content prints out will turn up where <[content]> was referenced.
Actually, this explanation ain't half bad. Anyone care to work on
readability and run on sentences and put it in the manual?

This url is not intended to be clickable, it was provided as example
of &(variable:modifier); syntax. However, to avoid misunderstanding,
it is corrected in Midgard 1.2.6.

Netscape will do the Wrong^H^H^H^H^Hright Thing when such an URL lookalike is typed into the location field, but in this case the reaction is correct: netscape treats it as a relative URL to the page that has the HREF. You could try to simulate the behaviour by putting in code in the displaying part to display the url as is if it starts with ://, prepend ftp:// if the "url" starts with "ftp.", and prepend http:// otherwise.

Did you try to put a litteral url instead of &(article.url); and see what
you get ?
What do you get in the page source ?
Maybe it is not a Midgard bug, but a browser bug...

It's the :u modifier. It escapes the :, /, and . to their %code
equivalents so
the link will probably show up as
http://other.site.com.
Best only to use

Also, it has something in common with the SusiSGML system Jukka and I worked on before Midgard. SusiSGML was a hack on top of Apache that handled translating SGML files (of a specific DTD) into HTML (and applying visual outlook into them). The actual SGML files were stored in the htdocs directory. When Apache got a query for a particular URI, it would then go to that path in the filesystem, look for the .html and .sgml file there, and check whether the SGML file was newer. If it was, then it Apache would translate it to HTML and save it as a .html file. The initial translation was a bit slow, but after that Apache would just use the HTML document, and so normal browsing of the site wasn't affected. Maybe a similar method could be applied with these parsers? First thing would of course be that Midgard would have to know to use all the parsers and converters needed in the process. If this could be done via a generic interface, it should be easy to write Midgard support to different parsers, and also for third parties to provide these interfaces with their parser software. I think this is the area that needs most work here. Then Midgard would need to know in what format was the document saved as in Midgard's database, was it SGML, XML, LaTeX, or something else. Based on this, and the output format specified in PHP end (HTML, WML, whatever) Midgard would then run the document through the needed parsers and save the output to a different field in the article table. After that Midgard could just use that stored information to serve further queries for the same document. Midgard 2 has a nice modification log, so it would be easy to check whether the document has changed since it was previously converted. This way we would finally get a really powerful and flexible publishing system that could work with multiple formats for Midgard. > Alexander Bokovoy /Bergie -- -- Henri Bergius -- +358 40 525 1334 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://www.iki.fi/Henri.Bergius -- This is The Midgard Project's mailing list.
