Q. Isn't there a way that Perl can do this? Are there any other ways that are more logical to use?

Technically, there is. 

(1) Assuming this setup:

- You have a media directory at /home/acct/www/ccp51/media
- That media directory is world writable (chmod 777)
- You create a sub-directory in there called 'html' so you have /home/acct/www/ccp51/media/html

In the file ./cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi, look for:

&initialize;

Replace that code with:

$stdout_filename = time() . int(rand(100)) . ".htm";
$stdout_file = "$server_media_path/html/$stdout_filename";

local(*SAVEOUT);
open(SAVEOUT, ">&STDOUT");
open(STDOUT, ">$stdout_file");

&initialize;

close(STDOUT); 
open(STDOUT, ">&SAVEOUT");

print "Location: $url_media_path/html/$stdout_filename\n";

That will redirect users to static HTML representations of the dynamic pages and also change their address bar.  You may want to set up a cron job that deletes these pages nightly ie:

rm -Rf /home/acct/www/ccp51/media/*.htm

Or write something into the CCP cron utility (./cgi-bin/library/common/cron.pl) that will act like the temporary directory purge already in there.

This is very important to do as you will run out of disk space if these items are not deleted regularly.

Something like it.  I programmed one already that's in use here:




The module outputs static versions of user defined HTML pages and maintains all links to the cgi for dynamic pages.  The downside is that you can't have dynamic content (like a mini-cart) in the site layout.

It works for 5.1 - would need mods for 5.0 - but that's where I sourced the code from.

hi,

i have ccp 5.1 and i get a error 500 when i try the mod above.


can anyone help please?

thanks
