Indeed. It's more the argument parsing stuff I'm interested. At the
moment, I've an "articles" page, which accepts something like
/articles/id/60
and wraps a style around it (see http://midgard.linux.ie/articles/id/17)
- so that's ok. But, I'm thinking that if there are loads and loads of
articles, it would be nice to do something like
/articles/news/latest/first
where "first" is $article->name. So, instead of looking through all the
articles in the sitegroup, one by one, it would look at articles under the
$topic=get_topic_by_name("news"), then maybe do mgd_walk_topic_tree() to
find the topic "latest", and then search *its* articles for that name. Is
this too complex ?
Should I have a separate active page called "/topics" for this, and just
use articles when I have the name or an id for the article I want ? I want
the articles to have human-readable URLs whenever possible.
