Thank you, David! BTW, did you tested this snippet with Midgard 1.2.6-beta?
Also some problems might exist accessing topics and articles by name. At least, one
should
carefully select names for topics and articles (and write
them in URl-safe form). This will generate problem with customized interfaces where
editor
places an article into some topic and doesn't know how to
select a correct name for it. A quick solution will be automaticaly name articles and
topics using their real names but creating their shortened equalents
(which should be used then as path names). Another problem lies in duplication of
names in
some enviroment (this is common problem for cooperative
work of many editors). How do you think to solve such problems?
I just thought that we can package all snippets you wrote using future Midgard 1.2.6
replication service
and distribute them as a part of documentation. Then, for example, one could use
'Repligard' utility to extract snippet from XML source together with
simple demonstration suite (style, demo-host, and demo-topic) and automatically place
it
into database where it could be viewed via browser.
Also this SnippetDoc :-) will have your articles about snippets placed into
demo-topics,
so they will available to browse them online.
But SnippetDoc will not be installed into DB by default such as Admin and Demo sites.
It
allows people study Midgard step by step and use only needed
snippets.
How do you think?
Sincerely yours,
Alexander.
