Can CMS generate html pages ?

[darkingPB]

This is maybe faster.I found manbo and postnuke don't support it. Can cms support?

[darkingPB]

  ,I found that my web space cannot  support mode_rewirte and i don't have the rights to edit the httpd.conf,so if  cms made simple can direct generate html that is pertect.

If you are having problems with pages now working try doing the following:


Open config.php,

find:

Code: Select all

$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = true;

change it to:

Code: Select all

$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = false;

I don't think CMSMS can generate static HTML pages. But if you don't mind URLs like /index.php?page=page_name CMSMS should work fine for you even if you don't have mod_rewrite on your server.

isn't there a way to append .html to the end of pages.... page.html

Yes, I had thought it only worked with mod_rewrite but it works with "internal_pretty_urls" also to end up with URLs like:
/index.php/navigation_menus/navtop.html

If one of the following is set in config.php

Code: Select all

$config['assume_mod_rewrite'] = true;
$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = true;

Then setting:

Code: Select all

$config['page_extension'] = '.html';

Will make pages have a .html extension.

so do you think .html pages load faster?
i have a feeling that was what he was reffering to...
maybe if they are hand code static pages...

You could always wget -r to get full set of html files

CMS made simple will not "generate" HTML as static content - if that was the question. I know that there are CMS out there that can do that and I assume that one could write a module that could do that so that you have static pages again. There might be one or two situations I can figure where this would make sense but they rarely exist in real life.

Next best solution would be mod_rewrite and if that does not work then pretty-urls is your friend. Both simulate HTML-extensions but just to make the URL-scheme look prettier and maybe for some SEO reasons.

so still the question is which loads faster :.
just curious 

[nils73]

Hm ... just a guess:

1. Generated HTML-pages (no DB-query at all)
2. Mod_Rewrite
3. Pretty URLs

Well ... 2 and 3 might be same speed, but I would gues that 3 is kind of slower still. Piratos might know better since he is Mr. Performance himself.

wget fetches any html page and with parameter -r does it recursively and checking all links and gets those pages too (including all images and so on)

[darkingPB]

Can we develop a module that generate the static html pages automatic?It seems that typo3 can

[Dr.CSS]

i still ask Why?
do you think they load faster...
have you something against .php...
a lot of large, big name sites use .php...
