Hello !
After reading and following this list for about three or four months i
decided to use Midgard as our content management system (zope
or egrail were some of the other possibilities).
Asgard looked amazingly easy to use....and i got stuck.
When i set up the host it asked for a root page, which i called
index.html (wrong?) entered some htlm into it and i could call the
page in my browser. The Midgard manual tells me that pages are
nodes in the database and symbolise the directory structure of the
called URL (www.weltpolitik.net/foo/1.html, where foo would be the
page).
So i made a new topic (topic) and added an article (article1.html).
As i was used from Dreamweaver i hoped that i could simply type
"www.weltpolitik.net/topic/article1.html" ;-)
After reading the Midgard Manual once again and the FAQ
(.../using.htm) i edited index.html once again and entered "<?
$article = mgd_get_article(4); ?>" which didn't show me the article.
Only after i found the article on the web by Brian Jepson and added
"&(article.content:h);" the article was displayed.
Ok, so now i can display all articles in the root page. But how is it
possible to have a link to another article ? Where does the call for
page x have to be entered?
For example: The first page should look like the categories in
yahoo.
If i grasp the idea of Midgard every category would resemble a topic
and subcategories -> subtopics with the stories being articles. The
pages would then divide the structure of the webside into those
categories so that it would be possible to call article1 (if it would be
an overlapping article) once as weltpolitik.net/internet/1.html and
also in weltpolitik.net/internet/browsers/security/1.html ???
How many pages do i need? One for every article ?
I am sorry to ask such stupid questions but for the first time in five
years of administering linux systems i am truly at loss :-(
If somebody could show me a good link were i would find an
introduction on how to build websides with Midgard ??
Might the layered admin by Alan Knowles be a solution ?
Thanks a lot !!
