Tony,

Err, can we even do this? For one, we don't have root access on that
server and the project site would need postgres installed to run. Similar
issues with CVS.

Any idea for how long?

bye, Dirk

Vinny,

I've integrated these patches into CVS now. Thanks!

I played around with it and noticed that the URL rewriting has one
drawback: It's not flexible enough to handle varying parameters, e.g.

    http://www.geeklog.net/article.php/20031228224244779/print
    http://www.geeklog.net/article.php/20031228224244779/Gallery

where the first one would be a link to the printer-friendly version (i.e.
&mode=print without rewriting) and the second one highlighting the word
"Gallery" when being returned from a search (i.e. &query=Gallery without
rewriting).

So at the moment, we have a mixture of both rewritten and normal links.
Not really a problem, but it looks a bit odd.

I've introduced an {article_url} variable now that you could use for a
"link to this story" link (as seen on many news sites). Wouldn't that
accomplish the same result?

bye, Dirk

I'll try a couple things, I might be able to figure something out.

That's works great Dirk.  I look forward to having it.

Thanks,
