I'm building a website using Middleman. There are source files placed like the following.
source/index.html.md
source/errors/404.html
source/docs/foo.html.md
source/docs/bar.html.md
By default, when I build static html files, the generated files are placed following to the original directory structure (with directory indexes).
build/index.html
build/errors/404/index.html
build/docs/foo/index.html
build/docs/bar/index.html
However, I want all html files to be served directly under /, so that they can be accessed like http://example.com/foo/ and http://example.com/404/.
How do you change the paths for generated html files?
You can use proxies to create duplicate pages, and then ignore the original pages.

But the simplest way is, of course, to adjust the source structure to match the desired structure.
I think this part of Middleman doc could help you .
All you need is to activate directory indexes and configure it properly, and it should work.

I am trying to use AJAX to return high-level calculation results. However, it appears as though the PHP file that I am pointing the AJAX call to is in the '/' root directory. Here is a snapshot of how my structure is: c:\webserver\test\webroot (this is the root directory), and then c:\webserver\test\code is where the HTML and PHP files are stored - looking to use an AJAX call to point to a PHP file in the non-root folder (which is one folder up, then one folder down). I tried a few different things, such as '../code' to move up and then over, but that doesn't work. Any suggestions?
Referencing a file location via relative paths should work - you'll just need to be sure that you are navigating FROM the correct folder TO the correct folder.
This can be a bit tricky if your javascript file is located in another folder - if memory serves you must navigate from the folder containing the javascript file, not from the folder containing the index file.
Alternately, you can use FQDM http://example.com/folder/folder/file.php to reference the file. Note that if you are on localhost, you can use a hosts file to fake-out the webserver.
I am working on a CodeIgniter - HMVC
What I know:
is I should not create assets like css,js,images inside the application folder in codeigniter, but I have a necessity for it.
**What I am trying to achieve is : **
to create a standalone module and trying to use it in another project. In that case, I really need to add the necessary css,js,images files into the modules folder it self.
The Error I get is:
You don't have permission to access /v7-bitbucket/application/modules/some_modle/assets/bootstrap.min.css on this server.
How do I overcome this?
Please advice.
Thanks.
There are 2 ways I can think of for you to access this data.
The first one is using an htaccess and a custom rule, which redirects certain files to inside the other directory. This way, the user will still have access to only certain specific files outside of the public HTML folder.
The second option is to use PHP and render the content of the file in custom tags.
Ex: Instead of entering <link href="<?= $path ?>">, you would do <style><?= file_get_contents($path) ?></style>. This would be harder to cache, and a bit harder to implement for images.
It appears that this question is asked often and answered the same way: store the css files outside of the application directory and then use base_url() . "path/to/file".
However, I want to keep my css files and js files inside my application/views/ directory, because the views directory is effectively the html space, and css and js belong to that space (in my opinion).
Below is the structure that I wish for:
root
- application
-- views
--- assets
---- css
---- js
- system
When I attempt to load css files from within this directory structure, I get a NetworkError: 403 Forbidden, which makes sense because of CI's framework protocol.
But I am guessing that there is a way.
Publicly reachable files like CSSes images and JS files need to be in public directory next to index.php file. So hierarchy would be:
root
- application
- system
- assets
-- css
-- js
You can aproach to those files with hard coded
Link
or using (loaded) url helper with it's function base_url() or site_url(). Don't forget to fill correct URL into application config file.

Hey i'm going to politely push back on this idea :-)
Your application and system folders should be ABOVE the root, so they are not publicly accessible. (Unless this is a really simple application and you are not doing any database interaction, etc). They should not be considered part of the HTML or public space because you do not want the public accessing them. Set the path for them once in the main index.php file and its done.
Also i suggest renaming your system and application folders, like "system302". Over the long term it makes versioning and upgrading (and reverting if needed) much easier.
Is it possible to run two appcache file in a site. For example in home.html there is home.appcache while in about.html there is about.appcache , each of the file will cache different resources. I want to know if it's possible to cache by pieces.
I've already tried it and it is working,it means that there is no need to download all the resources using only one appcache file, we can use one or more appcache file in a site but we need to put it in different html pages. using this technique only the updated resources will be cached and be downloaded,there is no need to download all resources.
I want to have a sitemap structure where the sitempasindex file is located in the root path (example.com/sitemaps.xml) and it references several sitemap[n].xml files located in a folder (example.com/static/sitemap1.xml). Those sitemap[n].xml files link to webpages that are in the rooth path (like example.com/helloworld.html).
Is that posible? I'm asking because I know that if the sitemap.xml file is placed within a folder, it can only contain webpages that are under that folder.
Thanks!
I believe you easily have
example.com/sitemap-index.xml
point to e.g.
example.com/sub1/sitemap.xml
and
example.com/sub2/sitemap.xml
however each sitemap.xml should only contains URLs within each their subfolder. (From your question, it seems you have those sitemap.xml files link to paths in root. I doubt that works, but you could try run a small test and submit to Google. If no errors then...)
The location of a Sitemap file determines the set of URLs that can be included in that Sitemap. A Sitemap file located at http://example.com/catalog/sitemap.xml can include any URLs starting with http://example.com/catalog/ but can not include URLs starting with http://example.com/images/.
From google perspective, they should be available on main root of the website. http://example.com/sitemap.xml, When you submit it through the subdir in webmaster tool "http://example.com/catalog/sitemap.xml" google won't crawl it and always showing us pending index status.
