Yes, the way to solve this is during the make process in combination with a
path constant:

BC_PATH_RESOURCES

so all of your paths _will_ be absolute, but based on a variable :)

Which is exactly what ImageRequestManager will do.

well, only sort of.

The ImageRequestManager is intended to solve all of those problems along
with the CSS and JS request managers, by removing any need to define
absolute paths in src attributes. You'd set a 'resources location' path
constant in Configuration, and ImageRequest would use that during make to
properly reference (with an absolute path) all of that stuff.

The constant may be an option BC_HTDOCS_RESOURCES or someting like that.
Hmmm... I think that needs a bit thinking.

Just discovered this does _not_ work when using path vars like:

script/var.value/

I too have wondered this.  I'd vote highly against the use of any

[binarycloud-dev] Handling of resources/ in htdocs

[Andreas A. (Thyrell) <a.a...@th...>]

Hi All,

I'm a bit concerned how about handling the resources/ tree in the built
system.

The following problem occurs:

I have a master template that is used in bcp defs in different levels e.g.:

www.foo.com/en/manage/news/
www.foo.com/en/manage/users/newsletters/
..

The scripts and the master template there uses resources from our
build/en/htdocs/resources directory. One way to accomplish a correct loading
of the resources is to use absolute paths in the tags i.e.
src=/en/resources/whatever/file.gif. But what if we want run the scripts a
level deeper i.e. in www.foo.com/r2/en/manage/news. Problem.

The way I sove this currently is running a symlink to
build/en/htdocs/resources in every htdocs subdir and using relative paths in
the templates i.e src=resources/whatever/file.gif.

It works and it's smooth on unix systems but I feel thats a very error prone
way. Especially while running on win systems where symlinks are not possible
(and creating virtual dirs all over the build tree is a mess).

Any ideas, plans how to handle this?

I guess that's a good application for ImageRequestBuilder.

[binarycloud-dev] Pro-Active Response to a National Tragedy

[<cus...@re...>]

Dear Educator,

Columbine (Littleton, CO)....Jonesboro, AR....West Paducah, KY....Pearl, MS...

Immediately, you know why these places are linked together.  The names of
these schools are forever burned into our memories and the national conscience...

Are you concerned about the rising number of incidents of violence in our
schools?

Would you like to lower the probabilty of such an incident from occuring at
your school?

Would you like to help our children better cope with the pressures of modern
life - helping to prevent issues such as substance abuse, teen pregnancy and
suicide?

If you answered yes to any of these questions - then read on.....

The Resilient Kids CD ROM Program is used in schools, churches, and homes to
teach optimism, coping skills, and personal mastery and helps to prevent
depression in young people.  This program, launched in April 2000, is now
in over 1,000 primary and secondary schools across Australia.


With its light-hearted, interactive approach, the Resilient Kids CD ROM Program
strives to achieve the following objectives:

  - Reducing the incidence of suicide in the young by teaching primary
    prevention strategies.

  - Teaching children how to evaluate their automatic thoughts and to
    re-look at failures or set-backs as challenges to be reacted to with
    activity and hope.

  - Teaching parents how to help their children achieve self-esteem
    through personal mastery.

  - Creating a sense of belonging through parents and school working
    together for the childs well being.

  - Equipping older teenagers with ideas and skills for managing the transition
    from adolescence to adulthood and handling typical stressful situations.

  - Taking a serious problem and making it easy to communicate and fun
    to learn through interactivity.

The program's success is due to:

  - A clear format for instant implementation

  - Colorful, fun-filled interactive material suitable for all reading ages
    and learning abilities

  - Practicality. It will not burden crowded curriculums or overload teachers

  - A built-in, prepared parent education component

Resilience Training - the most effective way for both primary and secondary
schools to address the serious social problems of depression, suicide and
substance abuse. Take advantage of this unique program and teach your
students how to "bounce back positively."

Resilient Kids is a positive, effective and enjoyable prevention program for
your school community. Please visit us at http://www.resilientkids.net or call

seminars, or our newly released parent CD package.

[binarycloud-dev] bc_install released

[Alex B. <en...@tu...>]

hi all,

I just released a bc_install package on sourceforge: it's a fairly complete
(i.e. with tarballs) tested compile package for php 4.0.6 cgi and module
with apache and many of the goodies.

You can get it from:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/binarycloud/

------

If you want to add compile options (mysql, postgres, etc) to it, please send
me gziped diffs on Config.in and any of the compile scripts and I'll put out
new versions.

I've tested and installed from this on RH 6.2, I'd love for a few BSD people
to test this.

-- I should mention:
This isn't a wizard. It speeds up compiling the packages, but you need to
have a pretty good idea of what you're doing to install it properly. :)

best,

_alex

heh.

I modified my build to include some of the stuff from above, but this is for
4.0.6:

./configure  \
        --prefix=/usr/local/php4 \
        --with-config-file-path=/usr/local/php4/etc \
        --with-apxs \
        --enable-bcmath \
        --enable-calendar \
        --enable-wddx \
        --with-jpeg-dir=/usr/lib \
        --with-tiff-dir=/usr/lib \
        --enable-force-cgi-redirect \
        --enable-discard-path \
        --disable-shared \
        --enable-ftp \
        --with-zlib \
        --with-imlib=/usr/local/lib/ \
        --with-iconv=/usr/local/lib \
        --with-oci8=/u01/oracle/product/8.1.6 \
        --with-mhash=/usr/local/mhash \
        --with-mcrypt=/usr/local/mcrypt \
        --with-dom=/usr/local/libxml2 \
        --with-sablot=/usr/local/Sablot \
        --with-curl \
        --with-expat-dir=/usr/local/expat \
        --enable-memory-limit \
        --enable-debug=no

Actually, andi, let me make a couple mods to my scripts and check them into
bc_install. Once I do that, you'll be able to use the complete compile
scripts (and tarballs) to build and install apache, php, sab, etc etc etc.

The make is clean (and lookin' good :)

Thanks, andi.

I'm going to remove all the junk, as you suggest: I think the system is
functioning fine, and if we find bugs we'll fix 'em.

System configuration is looking great, everyone. The files are easy to edit,
and clean.
