webgen users - Oct 2008 - Rename language code + link to source

Hi all,

I am using webgen 0.4.7 and I have two question.

1. would like to do the following: have index.de.html, index.en.html,
index.fr.html, index.it.html, ... 

But {langbar: } should not display 
[de | en | fr | it | ...] but
[Deutsch | English | Fran?ais | Italiano | ...]

2. I would like to have a link to the original file from src/ in the
footer. Background: Someone can just click on the file, translate it and
sent it via e-mail to me so I can upload it. (http://www.fsfeurope.org
is using that system, too.)

Any tipps how to accomplish those two things? Or would it be possible to
include something like that in webgen 5.X?

Thanks,
Matthias

This is not possible (even in the 0.5.5 version). You could rewrite the
plugin if you want to do that.

This is possible in 0.4.x (very easy with 0.5.x). However, the easy
way of using the File/CopyHandler to just copy the page files won''t
work due to the used node resolution code of File/PageHandler.

The following plugin can be put in the plugin/ directory of your
website and will correctly copy each source file to an output file with
the extension src:

# BEGIN CODE
class SourceHandler < FileHandlers::DefaultHandler

  infos( :name => ''File/SourceHandler'',
         :author => Webgen::AUTHOR,
         :summary => "Copies the source files to the output dir"
         )

  register_extension ''page''

  def create_node( path, parent, meta_info )
    name = File.basename(path, ''.*'') + ".src"

    node = parent.find {|c| c =~ name }
    if node.nil?
      node = Node.new( parent, name )
      node[''title''] = name
      node.meta_info.update( meta_info )
      node.node_info[:src] = path
      node.node_info[:processor] = self
    else
      log(:warn) { "Can''t create node <#{node.full_path}> as
it already
exists (node handled by
#{node.node_info[:processor].class.plugin_name})!" } end node
  end

  # Copy the file to the destination directory if it has been modified.
  def write_node( node )
    if
@plugin_manager[''Core/FileHandler''].file_modified?(
node.node_info[:src],
node.full_path ) FileUtils.cp( node.node_info[:src], node.full_path )
end end

end
#END CODE

Then you can use the following snippet in your default.template to
include a link to the source file:

<a href="{relocatable: <%= node.absolute_path.sub(/html$/,
''src'')
%>}">Source</a>

The important thing is that you use an other extension instead of
''page''!

I have put the customizable langbar texts onto my todo list for webgen
0.5.x.

Thank you very much for the solution!!! I will try it.

And thank you for putting it on your todo list.
