auto-navigation via directory structure
Posted: Fri Sep 05, 2008 12:38 am
Hello every one ...
English is not my language, so please apologies grammatical or syntax ...
I'm starting to learn php, i do not have any real experience in publishing, security nor even about basic design concepts.
For short i would like to know if the idea of some auto-navigation via directory structure would be a good idea for a little personal page or if the 'concept' is totally wrong.
(Navigation routines that generate a 'main-link-array' around some (root-dir)/pup directory where each sub-dir(used as the name of the page) contain an index.php witch itself contain a 'pseudo-header'(as php-comment) with tags like description, name, id ...)
Being more 'familiar' with emacs than joomla and and co., i came across the idea of some auto-generating navigation using only the directory structure.
After some 'googleling' i could not find something that was really what i wanted (some phpbrowsers who could be 'adapted', but nothing really with 'navigational-purpose' in mind.
I think i would probably have missed the right search-therms, so if any one had some link or info ...
Anyway, being interested in php, i written some few functions that do basically the job, but after searching a little more on this and while not founding more about, i am asking my self if the idea is 'worth the work'.
I'm not a programmer so don't look too deep in the code ... but i would really like to know why this method seems so hard to be found, since even with my 'bad-work', once in place, adding new content appears (to me) to be quiet easily : adding a new dir (witch is then the name of the page) and then simply adding a new index.php (from a template), adjusting the 'pseudo-tags' and then it's done.
Finally, i surely see that this wouldn't be a good idea for bigger project, but would the idea be really bad for some little/personal blog ?
/Edit : CSS works with firefox and opera, but i have no idea what's about internet explorer
Here is a sample page who use the principle
Here the main function set (geshi ...)
The /pub -dir structure is exactly the same as the nav-bar, witch are build from it. (dir-stuct)
And this is how index.php, here the apropos (about) pages looks like :
Of curse any page is included in the main one ...
I hope the question is not too long, anyway thanks for reading and maybe answering ...
