No spaces in the file name.

Hello ,

I`m no longer using <%ID%>.html when generating Detailed pages.... i now use <%Title%>.html ...so my links look like this : /Detailed/Digital%20Hazard.html .

Does anyone know who can i make the script automaticaly add "-" or "_" where the empty space should be ? I`d Like the links to look like this /Detailed/Digital-Hazard.html

Thank you very very much !

I'm not sure where you are doing this but:

Code:
 sub site_html_detailed { 
# -------------------------------------------------------- 
# This routine will build a single page per link. It's only 
# really useful if you have a long review for each link -- 
# or more information then can be displayed in a summary. 
# 
    my %rec = @_; 
my $clean_title = $rec{'Title'}; 
 
     $clean_title =~ s, ,-,g;
     return &load_template ('detailed.html', { 
     total => $total, 
     grand_total => $grand_total, 
     title_linked => $title_linked, 
clean_title => $clean_title,
     title_unlinked => $title_unlinked, 
     hitsday   => $hitsday, 
     %rec, 
     %globals 
        } ); 
}

then use <%clean_title%> in the html page

I didn't try it out...

I did a small test and it does work. You just need to find the right place for it.

try it in sub site_html_link {

detailed_url => "$build_detail_url/$clean_title$build_extension",

this is a potentialy problematic modification. you have to guarantee you won't have any links with identical titles, otherwise you'll be overwriting your details pages and they won't match up.

Hi ,

I`ve added that code to 'sub ......link' ....and after a 'Build All' it shows the link to the detailed page correctly (with "-"), but it doesn`t build the detailed files with "-" ...

P.S. i don`t have duplicate title names...so no need to worry about overwriteing.
