Hey all: I fixed my URL problem. I re-wrote the template to omit the base URL and include absolute links to the main web server. I'll upload the perl file tonight for anyone who wants it.
I have a series of questions that are quite possibly in the FAQ. My apologies if they are, I'll hunt through there as well. Just in case though, here are the questions: 1. I thought EXCERPT was supposed to mean "the place where the word appears in the page." But if you look at my search results: http://search.foreign-policy-dialogue.ca/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=fr&restrict=fr&restrict=&words=iraq It's not the excerpt that's displayed. I'm not sure what it's actually displaying though. (I know what it's showing on the page, but I'm not sure why.) 2. Is there a way to ignore all <meta> information? I've set meta_description_factor: 0, but does that get the keywords as well? 3. I spent yonks of time figuring out how to set up English and French databases, but our web site isn't perfect and contains French text on English pages. HOWEVER the engine is ok with this and displays accents correctly even when using the english config file (with no locale set): http://search.foreign-policy-dialogue.ca/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=en&restrict=&words=iraq That's cool and all, but how does it know? Just because the locale is intalled on the system? Do I actually need to maintain two different databases? I do htfuzzy accents on the French databases but not on English. Is that right? I think it is, but now I'm starting to question myself. 4. I'd like to put the SESSION=blah back into the search results links. Even though the session is in the URL, it's not getting put back into the links. See: http://search.foreign-policy-dialogue.ca/cgi-bin/htsearch?config=en&SESSION=5672c196e148691c7f305e4d61f501a9&restrict=&words=iraq I've added $(SESSION) to the HTML templates. Isn't that what you're supposed to do for HTML variables that you want to replace? In the wrapper.html file it looks like this: <a href="http://blah.com?SESSION=$(SESSION)">nav link</a>. But as you can see in the URL above SESSION= is there, but not the actually value... From: http://htdig.org/hts_templates.html There are many variables that can be substituted into these templates. Not all of them make sense for each file, so not all of them will be substituted for every file. In addition, all of the standard CGI environment variables are available, and listed in the cgi specification. Variables will be substituted normally with the format $(VAR), escaped for use in a URL with the format $%(VAR), URL-encoding decoded with the format $=(VAR), and HTML-escaped with the format $&(VAR). Thanks for all of your help!! -- Emma Jane Hogbin Xtrinsic ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _______________________________________________ htdig-general mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, send a message to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> with a subject of unsubscribe FAQ: http://htdig.sourceforge.net/FAQ.html
