Dynamic Vs Static Issue

I am working on setting up different content for dynamic & static pages, however am little confused with current situation. Normally dynamic pages have d=1 in the url, however can anyone tell me, why is domain.com/cgi/page.cgi?p=custompagename also being considered dynamic?

Hi,

Because that is dynamic :P

The solution I came up with for checking to see if a page is static, or dynamic - was with a global:

check_if_dynamic

Code:
sub { 
    if (!$ENV{SCRIPT_URL}) { 
        return { is_dynamic => 0 } 
   } elsif ($ENV{SCRIPT_URL} =~ /\Qnph-build.cgi/) { 
        return { is_dynamic => 0 } 
   } else { 
        return { is_dynamic => 1 } 
  } 
}

Then call with this in your header file:

Code:
<%check_if_dynamic%>

..and then wherever you wannt see if a page is dynamic, do:

Code:
<%if is_dynamic%> 
   .. its dynamic 
<%else%> 
   its a static page 
<%endif%>

Seems to be working for what I used it on :)

Cheers

Hi Andy,

Right now I am using your other global

Code:
sub { 
my $p = $IN->param('g') || $IN->param('p') || $IN->param('page') || $IN->param('d'); 
$p ? return { is_dynamic => 1 } : return { is_dynamic => 0 } 
}

Calling it via:

Code:
<%is_dynamic%> 

Code: 
<%if is_dynamic eq '1'%> 
.. Dynamic Content Here 
<%elsif is_dynamic eq '0'%> 
... Static Content Here 
<%endif%>

So I suppose, I can just edit the global code and it would work just fine. As this new global will mean, there is no need to use the older one, right?

Ah, don't remember writing that one <G> That should work fine for you? Obviously if you are calling a script via page.cgi?g=xxx, then it WILL be treated as a dynamic page - cos it IS a dynamic page =)
