I have two questions: First, is there any possibility to use the name "index.html" instead of"index_html" as default name for the directory indes? I ask this because we want to transform a web project into zope, and we don't want to change the URLs.
Check out load_site.py, it's part of the release. It does that for you.
Thanks for the interesting pointer. We won't be able to use it directly (as we have a rather wicked layout so we have to snip out the content manually), but it's a good help!
load_site.py isn't actually too hard to modify (I did some mods to it, http://www.zope.org/Members/bowerymarc) so maybe you could automate the process with that....
(if you want to take a look at the original site, look at http://www.gemeinsamlernen.de/ [german only] and http://www.gemeinsamlernen.de/europa/solill/ [multilingual] - all managed manually by copy and paste up to now :-)
Second, is there some kind of "symlink", that means making one page accessible at another path using another name? You can make a DTML method that does a dtml-raise redirect (that's how load_site does it)
I'll try this. I guess that one "index.html" sitting in the root should be enough because of aquisition.
Yes, that's right. You could also do a default.html, index.htm -- some serach engines like to see those types of things.
