You could store the CGI.SCRIPT_NAME in the database, use cffile to create
the directory structure with a index.cfm file in the final folder, then look
for that content when a page is loaded.
First to some replace
/seminar/Foreign08
i do this a bunch because I don't have access to webserver URL rewrite tools
a lot of the time, and it goes a little something like this.
1) Person makes a post, take the tile and clean up the text with some regex,
also making it lowercase.
<cfset FileName = LCase(Cleaned.Title)>
2) Find the folder this is going in from the main category
<cfset Folder = #q.FolderName#>
3) Create the folders and file
<cfset StartPath = "#ExpandPath( "/")#">
<cfset SavePath = "#StartPath#\#Folder#\#PageTitle#">
<cfif DirectoryExists(SavePath)>
Sorry, or just skip this step, or rename the file or something then
continue
<cfelse>
<cfdirectory action = "create" directory = "#SavePath#">
<CFSET sFileOutput = "">
<CFFILE Action="Write" File="#SavePath#\index.cfm"
Output="#sFileOutput#">
</cfif>
<cfset FORM.SCRIPT_NAME = "/#Folder#/#PageTitle#/index.cfm">
Update/insert into table
Then when you want the data on the frontend
SELECT the fields from Pages
WHERE SCRIPT_NAME = #CGI.SCRIPT_NAME#
This is really trimmed down but works well I guess. I haven't had any real
troubles with it. Sometimes they may change the tile which I normally handle
with setting the index.cfm page in the old folder with a 301 redirect line
to the new location instead of deleting the folder completely and receiving
404 errors.
