ATTN PROGRAMMERS: I need a simple program. Who can do this?
I have searched for similar scripts, but haven't had any success in finding one. If anyone knows of one that will do what I'm asking...please let me know, and it will save a lot of time.
As far as price goes, I don't know what to expect, so I'm open to ALL bids. Please post here or PM me with comments/questions. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= This program will be designed to mass produce webpages containing an iFrame. Something like this illustration: http://www.boompop.com/googlequestion.gif In this example, the header and footer are served from my website and the iframe in the center is pulled from a different website someplace else on the web. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Here's a mock-up of what I'm looking for: http://www.boompop.com/iframegenerator.gif The features are as follows: (1) Directory - This is where we define the output directory. The user should be able to browse his harddrive to locate an existing directory or type one in and have it created automatically when the script is run. (2) Subdirectory - This directory will be created as a subfolder of anything listed in the Directory field. If no subdirectory is listed, none will be created. (3) Filename - Here we define the name of the first webpage that will be generated. The filename needs to have the following syntax: filename_01.php The program will use this filename as a guide to name all of the pages it creates. So that the second page will be "filename_02.php", the third will be "filename_03.php" and so on. The number of pages that the program generates is based on the number of URLS listed in the "URLs" field below. If the program encounters a file that already exists with the same name it is trying to create, it should automatically overwrite the older one with the new one. (4) Template - This is the template file that the program will use to generate the pages. It will be a basic html document that contains special <%tags%> designed to tell the script where to place the information defined below. (5) Directory 404 - This is where we define the index.html or index.php file that should be automatically copied into all directories that the program creates or writes to. This is a security measure. Since the program is generating pages named "filename_01.php", "filename_02.php", etc... there still needs to be an index file for that directory, so that surfers can't view the directory tree. (6) Title - This is the where we input the title of the pages we are about to create. This field will be inserted into the generated pages anytime the program encounters the special <%TITLE&> tag inside the template file defined above. So when the program runs, it will automatically substitute the Title text for the <%TITLE%> tag in all the pages that it generates. (7) Meta Info - This works exactly the same way as the Title field does, except the special tag in this instance should be <%METAINFO%>. Whatever data is inserted in this field will automatically be substituted for the <%METAINFO%> tag. (8) Custom 1 - Same as the Title field, except the special tag should be <%CUSTOM1%>. (9) Custom 2 - Same as the Title field, except the special tag should be <%CUSTOM2%>. (10) URLs - Same idea as the Title field, but with one major difference... Everytime the program encounters the <%URL%> tag within the template, it should substitute ONLY ONE URL from the field...not all of them. So...if there are 52 URLS listed in this field, each URL should be used only one time, and given its own webpage. In otherwords, if there are 52 URLS, then the program should create 52 different pages ("filename_01.php" thru "filename_52.php"). (11) Save - Clicking this button will open the Windows 'Save As' window and provide a way to store the current settings for later use. (12) Go - Once the settings are all set, clicking the GO button will run the program. First, all directories and subdirectories will be created. Second, the Directory 404 page will be copied to all directories. Third, the template will be retrieved, parsed, and the field values will be substituted for the special tags contained within the template. Forth, each new page will be named according to the Filename variable and saved in the Directory/Subdirectory defined above. Finally, the program will display a message confirming that the task is done. Here's an example of the template I might use: Code:
<html> Thank you. |
