3.3.2: static file creation does not work anymore

1 Nov 22, 2009 18:31    

My b2evolution Version: Not Entered

After upgrading from 2.4.5 to 3.3.2, static file creation does not work
anymore. I get no error message while creating a static file, but the
file is simply not written, while b2evo jumps into a blog view after
that.

All the stub files are in place and i manually created empty static files,
as suggested in the manual. I double checked that the web server
has write access to the files to be created / modified.

In the dashboard, I read the static file creation is "depreciated". Does
that mean, that it is not functional any more? Will it be completely
removed in future versions? My blog makes heavy use of this
feature, so I will need something equivalent to that.

Thanks, Sven

Enable blog cache instead, it will save you a lot more resources than a single static page.

Oh, I do not have a resource problem.

I need static files for compatibility issues -- some old fashioned
static html URLs just have to be valid, but introduction of HTTP
redirects or URL rewriting is not really an option.

So for some of my blogs, I need a static html page as entry point.
Let me give you an example:

I have a blog, called http://www.typ15.de/

The blog's URL within b2evo is

http://www.typ15.de/blogs/index.php?blog=10

The according static file for this blog is

<web server root>/blogs/typ15.html

This file is hard linked to

<web server root>/index.html

So you get the static file if you click on

http://www.typ15.de/

The same applies for half a dozen other blogs, whose
static files are distributed by hard links all over the
file system.

Are static files really broken in 3.3.2?

I guess they are :(

You can make a static file in seconds with "View page source", Ctrl+A, Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V ;)

Why has this useful feature been removed?

My workaround is to get the dynamic page URL by "wget" and then
restore it to the web space as static file.

Well, I gess I have to stay with 2.4.x forever.
