When run as a CGI, the os.environ['REQUEST_URI'] has the "/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/SomePage" part of the request. You can grab that string, mangle it however you like, and use it in the page_header/footer. So in the specific case I outlined above, I can do something like this: import os _new_url = 'http://new.example.com/%s' % os.environ['REQUEST_URI'][18:] page_header1 = '<p>The new URL for this page is: ' \ '<a href="%s">%s</a></p>' % (_new_url, _new_url) And the new address will be listed at the top of every page ... style w/ custom message and css to taste. -steve ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Moin-user mailing list Moin-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/moin-user
