First, thank you for your patience and please forgive the lengthy blurb. This is a bit complicated, but I am sure there is a fix.
My website is heavily CSS structured for layout and styles for its Side-bar, heading, menu, etc. A modified CSS is used for the content and the content section is now an Iframe where all content is targeted. This was done to prevent duplication of parent. I am using GOOGLE site-map generator for the web and FreeFind for my site. Site consists of hundreds of HTML each consisting of an Image linked to a bigger image, Content, PayPal Links and other content all created with Excel for the code, Nvu for the file-saves and HTMLToolkit for the previews and error checking. When someone clicks an image anywhere on the site, it opens the HTML associated with it giving all the information about the Image. By the way, they are all table-based pages; DUMB, I know. The Problem: All these pages require updates or deletions depending on stock and pricing for any given item and frequent crawler checks for broken links afterwards. My site Spiders at roughly 500 pages and it keeps growing and getting out of hand. HELLLLLP!!!! On a more personal note; the author of the website (that’s me) is loosing his vision and can no-longer keep-up with this maddening effort… Proposed solution: I believe that enclosing all images and their associated content in DIVS is the better way to go. The idea is to have all images along with its content on one HTML. There are different categories that would use their own pages but the goal is to remove those hundreds of HTML pages and replace them with maybe a couple of dozen Category pages instead. There are as few as 1 or 2 items to as many as 100 items for any given category that would be shown 1-at-a-time using PREV - NEXT links. What I would like to accomplish is;
Whew!!! I told you it was complicated. Any assistance on setting this up (show 1 and hide the rest) is greatly appreciated. CHEERS This post has been edited by Baffled in Baltimore: Jan 9 2009, 05:56 PM |

Here's a simpler alternative to a database, using PHP to show different parts depending on the query string. Just be careful with the single-quotes, since one missing or one too many will break it (single quotes that are part of the content can be commented out with a backslash as shown at the end):
CODE <?php if(isset($_GET['section']) && $_GET['section']=='foo') { echo ' <h1>Section foo</h1> <p><a href="?section=bar">Next</a></p> '; } else if(isset($_GET['section']) && $_GET['section']=='bar') { echo ' <h1>Section bar</h1> <p><a href="?section=foo">Previous</a></p> '; } else { echo ' <h1>No section is chosen</h1> <p><a href="?section=foo">foo\'s page</a> <a href="?section=bar">bar\'s page</a></p> '; } ?> A related solution is to put the section's content in an external HTML page, separated by pre-determined "divider" strings: CODE #divider# Section foo #divider# Section bar #divider# Then that HTML page's content is read by a PHP script, which divides the content into sections (using the #divider# separator), only showing one of them at the time depending on the query string. To maintain the HTML page you can then use any HTML editor, as long as the #divider# separators are used correctly. |
