Static category pages, dynamic detailed pages
I built the directory as .shtml static files. Is it possible to create detailed pages as dynamic, instead of them static?


If I delete few links, and search engines indexed those pages already, is there anyway in LinksSQL to redirect 404 pages to home page or any specific page?

thanks.

Hi,

Rather than trying to do them as 2 different types, you could simply setup 301's for them:

Code:
Redirect 301 /Detailed/123.shtml http://www.yourmainsite.com

This should then tell google (and other search engines) that those pages no longer exist. Its a bit of a painful process... but if there are only a few links, it shouldn't be too bad :)

Hope that helps.

Cheers

No. What I want to know is - is it possible to have static CATEGORY .shtml pages (with link listings) and the detailed page from these listings pointed to dynamic detailed pages?

You should be able to do it using the following in a .htaccess file:

Code:
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule Detailed/([0-9]+)\.html /cgi-bin/links/page.cgi?g=Detailed/$1.html [L]

That will work for the detailed pages like /Detailed/1234.html

Then if thats working, you may as well comment out the code for building detailed pages. Around line 524 in nph-build.cgi, find (and add the bit in red):

Code:
# Only build validated links
$cond ||= GT::SQL::Condition->new;
$cond->add(VIEWABLE);
$cond->add('Timestmp','<',1);

That should force it to **not** build detailed pages (Which should save time on your builds)

Cheers

Linksdql does not have category like urls?

Ex:
Code:
http://www.site.com/Detailed/123.html
will display as:
http://www.site.com/Detailed/123/

http://www.site.com/folder-here/folder-here/index.html
will display like:
http://www.site.com/folder-here/folder-here/

http://www.site.com/folder-here/folder-here/more2.html
will display like:
http://www.site.com/folder-here/folder-here/more2/

You can customize it a bit more in GLinks 3.2+, but not in older versions. I'm not sure you would want to build detailed pages in the format of /Detailed/1234/ , as that could be a LOT of folders, each with a seperate file in Wink
