Re: org-publish

[Sebastian Rose <sebastian_rose@gmx.de>]

Hi David,

here are some solutions I could come up with. Maybe one of them is
helpful.


* Customize org

  M-x customize-variable org-export-html-extension

  and set it to 'php'?



* Apache: use mod_mime or add-handler

  You could also use the add-handler directive in your apache config
  file or (maybe) .htaccess files to execute your *.html files as PHP.

  See:
  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html#addhandler

  or:
  http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_mime.html



* Apache and mod_rewrite

  You might also set up a .htaccess file like this:



    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
      RewriteEngine on
      RewriteBase   /
      RewriteRule   ^(.*)$ passthrough.php$1 [L]
    </IfModule>

  if you put all your *.html files exported by org into a subdirectory
  called org, passthrough.php will be called with the path to that file
  relative to /org/.

  $PATH_INFO = "org".getenv('PATH_INFO'); // not tested

  get's you that relative path (you'll have to strip '#target' and
  '?querystring' though).

  Now you can open the file, read it line by line and replace what ever
  you like (add custom headers and footers...).


  Keep in mind, that the exported files are valid XHTML so might want to
  use some XML related technique to parse and change the files on the
  fly.





Regards,

  Sebastian
