*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* Thanks Johan, It seems the Sql method is the method I will use. It seems I have to read up on all Zope traverse magic. ;) Regards, Joakim Nicander -----Original Message----- From: Johan Carlsson [Easy Publisher Team] [mailto:johanc@torped.se] Sent: Friday, February 21, 2003 12:14 PM To: Joakim Nicander; zope@zope.org Subject: Re: [Zope] How to get Search engines to index dynamic pages?

*This message was transferred with a trial version of CommuniGate(tm) Pro* We have several customer sites with dynamic pages created with data from MySql.

Many search engines doesn't index an URL with a query string like:

Http://www.somesite.com/category_page?category=2

will be indexed as:

Http://www.somesite.com/category_page

Is there a method with in Zope or a Zope product that can help me create a site map with links like:

Http://www.somesite.com/category_page/category/2

I know there is a tool for asp http://xde.net/xq/tool.xqasp/qx/index.htm. Something similar for Zope?

I guess apache with mod_rewrite can help me but I rather do it within Zope.

You can make the SQL Methods traversable like: SQLmethod/category/2

"""In order to traverse to result objects with URLs, you must be able to ensure that the SQL Method will return only one result object given one argument. For example, create a new Z SQL Method named 'category_page' that accepts one argument, category, and has the following SQL Template: """

select * from category_table where <dtml-sqltest category op=eq type=int>

The you need a presentation (DTML Method for instace) on the top of it all to produce a presentation:

DTML Method: /view CategoryPage and access the record with: SQLmethod/cattegory/2/ view CategoryPage You can also use traversal in combination with Plugable Brains defined in the Extensions directory.

Pluggable Brains are classes that define objects with extended functionality for the list of brains returned by the SQL Method.
