Enbedding CGI files in Am 2 Can't Post
I'm trying to find a good spot in Am 2 to enbed external files in similar to the way which was done with AM 1.

I've been looking at /templates/admin/menus/publish.html thinking this is the best spot. I've tried enbedding via <img src="blah.cgi"> at the bottom when it says Publishing Complete but it seems to run the cgi file before its fully complete. Any ideas where to enbed AFTER ALL things have been fully published?

Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,

I can't think of a simple way to do that without making modifications to the code. And I'm imagining that the end user is going to want to be able to upgrade without having to update everything all over again.

I think I could probably make it so users could add a publish rule that would "run an external program" and have it make a web request for a specific url. It wouldn't pass any arguments though.

It doesn't need to pass any arguments in this case. Just execute it post publish everything at the conclusion of a publish all or save ect. As is, the users would have to run it on a cron (not ideal since it would need to be reloaded after every publish/save) or it would need to be run manually which also isn't ideal since alot of sites have writers/editors ect.

Also playing around in the modules area, but the .htaccess file seems to limit any exacuteables by saying forbidden unless authorized?

Michael

That's just to prevent users from accessing the modules directory or downloading sourcecode through their browser. We put a htaccess in the /data/ dir for the same reason. You can put scripts in the same dir as admin.cgi or another subdirectory off of that and you should be fine.

Is this something already possible or is this something on down the road?

Something down the road. I'm currently working on rewriting the publishing right now so I'll put it on the list and try to add it in.
