Is there any software or scripts that will
 

...convert cgi dynamic pages to static html pages??

Yes... I might have something depending on the complexity of the source.

ICQ 158629363

I know how to write php scripts that could do something like this cheap if you want ... wouldnt take me long at all, esp if you have crontab access on the system you need it for.
If you want, hit me up on icq 6354 0110

What do you mean? If you're talking about perl, use embperl, for php you can just modify your .htaccess to parse html pages for php includes, or you can use mod_rewrite to rewrite your filenames.

I think he has an application/website (lets say like VBulletin/GFY for example) that serves dynamic pages.... he wants to save all the dyanamically created pages to static HTML.

Though I haven't talked to him... just guessing.

I purchased ClickCart Pro...it is cgi script...and it does not create static html pages but dynamic pages. Search engines do not spider cgi pages. There are ways to fool the search enginges but this is a dangerous thing to do and I do not want to do that.

What I want is a way to create actual static html pages from the cgi created dynamic pages. Will embperl do this for me or will a mod have to be written for the ClickCart Pro cgi script?

Yes.

there are a couple ways to legit fool the search engines, but there are other ways to make static pages from the perl pages - if you want, icq me and I can help with it 6354 0110

:)

I think there might be modules for OScommerce to do this....

OSC is the best cart :)

It probably has convertors for you to import your X-Cart stuff as well

i have a php function for this, hit me up if interested

Thanks for the input guys. I have found a mod to make the script SE friendly.
