I am desperately looking for a rule to achieve the following:
Input URL request would be:
http://myserver.com/param/other/folders/and/files.php
It should redirect to
http://myserver.com/other/folders/and/files.php?p=param
similarly the basic index request
http://myserver.com/param/
would redirect to
http://myserver.com/?p=param
All my php files need the parameter, wherever they are. It'd be nice if JS and CSS files would be excluded but I guess it doesn't really matter since the /file.css?p=param would just be ignored and not cause a problem. I have found rules to map a folder to the GET parameter but none of them are working for php files deeper than the index file on the root level. Thanks so much in advance
Replace
http:\/\/([^\/]+)\/(\w+)\/(.*)
with
http:\/\/\1/\?p=\2\/\3

I got a site, say it's "www.site.com". I need to serve a text file at the root, so that "www.site.com/text.txt" will show up.
I read through this answer: Django download a file, and I used the "download" function.
However I am at a loss how to configure the URL. Can someone help me out?
Say I put this this into my url.py,
url('^(?P<path>.*)/$', san.views.FileDownload.as_view()),
This then supersedes all my other url patterns and render them useless. How do I make this work? Thanks!
Put it as the last urlpattern in your urls.py to ensure it doesn't sccop up everything. It should not have the trailing / either, i.e.
url('^(?P<path>.*)/?$', san.views.FileDownload.as_view()),
This will match the request "/YOUR_FILE.txt", and is also case-insensitive.
url(r'^(?i)YOUR_FILE.txt$', san.views.FileDownload.as_view()),
http://localhost/students/index.cfm/register?action=studentreg
I did not understand the use of 'register' after index.cfm. Can anyone please help me understand what it could mean? There is a index.cfm file in students folder. Could register be a folder name?
They might be using special commands within their .htaccess files to modify the URL to point to something else.
Things like pointing home.html -> index.php?p=home
ColdFusion will execute index.cfm. It is up to the script to decide what to do with the /register that comes after.
This trick is used to build SEO friendly URL's. For example http://www.ohnuts.com/buy.cfm/bulk-nuts-seeds/almonds/roasted-salted - buy.com uses the /bulk-nuts-seeds/almonds/roasted-salted to determine which page to show.
Whats nice about this is it avoids custom 404 error handlers and URL rewrites. This makes it easier for your application to directly manage the URL's used.
I don't know if it works on all platforms, as I've only used it on IIS.
You want to look into the cgi.PATH_INFO variable, it is populated automatically by CF server when such URL format used.
Better real-life example would look something like this.
I have an URL which I want to make prettier:
http://mybikesite/index.cfm?category=bicycles&manufacturer=cannondale&model=trail-sl-4
I can rewrite it this way:
http://mybikesite/index.cfm/category/bicycles/manufacturer/cannondale/model/trail-sl-4
Our cgi.PATH_INFO value is: /category/bicycles/manufacturer/cannondale/model/trail-sl-4
We can parse it using list functions to get the same data as original URL gives us automatically.
Second part of your URL is plain GET variable, it is pushed into URL scope as usually.
Both formats can be mixed, GET vars may be used for paging or any other secondary stuff.
index.cfm is using either a CFIF IsDefind("register") or a CFIF #cgi.Path_Info# CONTAINS statements to execute a function or perform a logic step.
I have the following in the .htaccess file of a Django project directory
Alias ^$ app/misc/
Is there a way to accomplish the same thing just using Django (say in the urlconf).
The point of the Alias is that the page actually returned to the user is app/misc/default.html, and all the files that default.html references are in that same directory, which would have to be appended to each file reference in default.html without the alias. Maybe this is commonplace.
Edit:
Don't know what I could have been missing the above doesn't even work.
This is a long-shot and maybe I'm misunderstanding your question. As long as your anchors in default.html are defined as, say, link or link they will be relative to /app/misc/ in this case. However, if you prefix them with a slash like link they will be relative to the root of your web server.
Is that helping you at all?
I am familiar with theming and using template hints in the Magento back office to locate .phtml files.
What I am not really familiar with are the core files such as app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model
What I need to do is override a core file like I would a core phtml file by copying it to 'my theme'.
I basically want to amend some labels which appear on the order summary page of the Magento checkout process - domain.com/checkout/cart/
I followed the trail to the phtml files using template hints. Within the app/design/frontend/default/mytheme/template/checkout/cart I found the code
renderTotals(); ?>
Now I managed, by accident, to stumble upon two of the files I wanted to change:
/httpdocs/app/code/local/Mage/Sales/Model/Quote/Address/Total/Grand.php
/httpdocs/app/code/local/Mage/Sales/Model/Quote/Address/Total/Shipping.php
I made local copies of these files (http://www.magentocommerce.com/wiki/how_to/how_to_create_a_local_copy_of_app_code_core_mage) to override the default labels, like I would if I was overriding a template file.
My question is, how can you locate core files which pertain to the 'stuff' you want to change, located in function calls such as renderTotals(); ?> in the phtml files?
Not being able to pinpoint stuff like I can with template hints is slowing me down, and I am struggling to find a solution as I am not up on all the vocab surrounding Magento yet.
Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance!
From the same settings page where you turn on Template Path Hints, also turn on the "Add Block Names to Hints" setting. This will show you PHP class names such as: Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Address_Total_Grand to which you can deduce the folder path (underscores represent a subfolder, and the last piece represents the file name).
If you're getting a block such as Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Address_Total_Default then sometimes it just takes a little common sense to see that it's pulling in other files from the same folder (such as Grand.php and Shipping.php). But there are generally only a couple files in the same folder, so this is pretty easy to see.
As Sid Vel said, a good Search Project functionality is helpful. But if you find yourself looking at Abstract.php of some class, often you need to look in a subfolder in that directory with the proper name to find the concrete implementations. But still, it gets you very close to where you need to be.
I always use Dreamweaver's site / directory search function. It will scan through all the files in the Core folder and tell you where the function is from. In your case, I would search for "renderTotals". You need to enable PHTML editing in Dreamweaver.
Most IDE's will allow this kind of search option. In Aptana you can Ctrl + Click on the function to open the file it is coming from. Magento takes ages to index itself on Aptana, due to its sheer size.
I am using codeigniter and its routes system successfully with some lovely regexp, however I have come unstuck on what should be an easy peasy thing in the system.
I want to include a bunch of search engine related files (for Google webmaster etc.) plus the robots.txt file, all in a controller.
So, I have create the controller and updated the routes file and don't seem to be able to get it working with these files.
Here's a snip from my routes file:
$route['robots\.txt|LiveSearchSiteAuth\.xml'] = 'search_controller/files';
Within the function I use the URI helper to figure out which content to show.
Now I can't get this to match, which points to my regexp being wrong. I'm sure this is a really obvious one but its late and my caffeine tank is empty :)
You should not need to escape the full stop, CodeIgniter does most of the escaping for you.
Here is a working example I use:
$route['news/rss/all.rss'] = "news/rss";
Issue was actually in .htaccess file where I had created a rewrite exception to allow the search engine files to be accessed directly rather than routing them through codeigniter.
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|google421b29fc254592e0.html|LiveSearchSiteAuth.xml|content|robots\.txt|favicon.ico)
Became
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|content|favicon.ico)
