forum url

[Migrated From Jforum.net]

for general ,jforum url like under
<applicationpath>/<module>/<action>/<parameter>.pgae

I make a .htm file, and i want giving it an url.
like <applicationpath>/pageName.page
how could set the .htm file has this kind of url without <module>,<action>?
the page do nothing so it doesnt need any module and action.

I have experience that make new page for my forum.

Can make this kind of url?

If you're page is just plain html, just call it direct. E.g.: <applicationPath>/myPage.html

If you're trying to use FreeMarker, you will need a servlet (or a jsp page) to set up the context for your template. See FreeMarker.org for details.

If you need jForum information or want/need to use the .page syntax, you have to use the module/action syntax. You can add new modules by creating a class that extended the Command object and has a no parameters method of the same name as your action.

You like the new module into the *.page syntax by adding it to the modulesMapping.property file. E.g. if you add a line like:

myModule = org.mine.jforum.MyModule

and MyModule has a method called show() that sets up and calls your new template page. The your template page can be call via:

<appPath>/myModule/show.page

thx your replay ,monroe!

Yes, my page just a plian html and doesnt need any action or module.
So,you mean that i just give it direct like under

 JForumExecutionContext.setRedirect(JForumExecutionContext.getRequest().getContextPath()
	    		+ "/pageName.html");

thats right?

Im trying two ways but both no work.

First, i add

<a href="http://serverName/jforum/PageName.page" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">test</a>

with an exist .htm
the log return URL is: /jforum/PageName.page?null
something wrong at net.jforum.context.web.WebRequestContext.getParameter and net.jforum.context.web.WebRequestContext.getModule and others

Second, i try add with an exist module and action (.java).So do this action i let it direct

JForumExecutionContext.setRedirect(JForumExecutionContext.getRequest().getContextPath()
	    		+ "/pageName.page");

The log is the same.Just null

Any problems?

You didn't understand (or I didn't explain well enough...). When I said call it directly, I mean just like any other html file. E.g. /jforum/myPage.htm

If you use the .page extension it's "owned" by the jForum servlet processing. This HAS to have a module/action class.

As to modifying an existing action, you need to look at how the existing action call a template. This involves creating a FreeMarker template object and it's context using your new template file. The code then calls the template object's method to process the template file and display the results.

What you did was to try to sent an HTTP redirect which is exactly the same as what you tried in the first thing. So, that's why you got the same results.
