Hi all,

way back I saw a reference on how to make it look like Zope objects end in '.html'. This can be important for getting into search engines. I've got Apache proxying back to Zope, so I thought that mod_rewrite would be my friend, however Zope still generates URLs w/o the .html.

Interesting. Are there search engines which only list pages that are ".html?" I'd think that w/so many other things out there (.pl, .htm, .cfm, etc.), that it would easier for the search engines to just remove obvious image types (ie .gif, .jpg, etc.) I would think that search engines would keep anything that returned 'Content-type: text/html', and that was an obvious query (ie www.foo.tld/search?name=pup) In any event, you can easily *name* your zope objects as 'foo.html', but it gets a little tricky when you want to start mixing python expressions in. (the dot appears to suggest a method 'html' w/in object foo). -- Joel Burton <jburton@scw.org> Director of Information Systems, Support Center of Washington

I simply solved the problem by placing a dtml method called "index.html" in root, and with "<dtml-var index_html>" in it. With the magic of acquisition, I have now an index.html file everywhere.

Hi all,

way back I saw a reference on how to make it look like Zope objects end in '.html'. This can be important for getting into search engines. I've got Apache proxying back to Zope, so I thought that mod_rewrite would be my friend, however Zope still generates URLs w/o the .html.

Any help would be great. Thanks.
