Calling nph-build.cgi from global
Hi there Smile

Is there a way to call nph-build.cgi from a global or maybe a template?
I am trying to build detail pages from the front end, instead of using the Admin panels.

Thanks

Does't sound too much of a good idea, but you should be able to do it with either:

Code:
sub {
system("perl /full/path/to/admin/nph-build.cgi --all");
return; # otherwise will print out "1"
}

..or maybe:

Code:
sub {
`perl /full/path/to/admin/nph-build.cgi --all`;
return; # otherwise will print out "1"
}

Hope that helps.

Cheers

I thought that might work, but no luck. Maybe it has to do with permissions that needs to be set correctly.

As for the build process itself, it is a controlled build, a modified version of nph_build.
Only certain users are allowed to build certain Links /detail pages.
Unless I'm missing a point some where, it seems safe to do it.

Thanks Andy Smile

Mmm, one of those 2 should work.

Only other way I can think of, is via a plugin.

Make a new plugin, with a function like:

Code:
sub DoBuild {
`perl /full/path/to/admin/nph-build.cgi --all`;
}

...then call in the template with:

Code:
<%Plugins::PluginName::DoBuild()%>

Otherwise, afraid I'm out of ideas.

Cheers

Try:

Code:
open (FH, "/full/path/to/nph-build.cgi --all");
close(FH);

Also check your logs if it doesn't work.

I couldn't find a to run it from a global. So I went and retrieved the necessary functions from the nph-build.cgi and I created a global that builds the pages as I need them.

Thanks for the help ^_^
