Is HTML a Disallowed Document Type?

[Jim20]

I would like to upload an HTML file as a document in a library so that it is shown like any other file, then opens up when a user clicks on it.  In part, this idea is meant to allow me to use Coppermine's excellent security features as a front end to all content to my site, including web pages.

When I try this, however, it appears that htm is a disallowed file type.  Why would this be and is there any way around it?

Jim,

If you want the page to have the same theming format as your coppermine gallery, you could try the following:

<?php
define('IN_COPPERMINE', true);
require('include/init.inc.php');
pageheader('Your page title goes here');
// your actual page content starts here
    starttable("100%", 'Content block title', 1);
    ?>

    Hello World .. you can place your html content in here as well.


<?php
    endtable();
// your actual page content ends here
pagefooter();
ob_end_flush();
?>

Thanks, Dennis.  I am working on testing this right now.  How do you recommend then linking the resulting page within my gallery?  Would I place the php file in a gallery?  Sorry if this is a dumb question.

yes, you place the file right into the folder where your gallery resides. Then edit your theme's template.html file or theme.php file to put a link to the page where you want it.

If you want to add the link somewhere among the standard coppermine links, AND your current theme is not using buttons, you will have to copy the menu sections from the sample/theme.php file into your theme.php file.  IF YOUR current theme is using buttons, then look at it's theme.php file and see if you can't duplicate a the pattern, usually between <td> and  </td>,  and insert your own links.

Dennis - thanks, I got it working.  However, it appears accessing the page does not require a user to login.  If I logout, then enter http://www.mydomain.com/newpage.php, it takes me right to the page without requiring login.  How do you force people to login in order to see the page?

I know this works with the albums, that's why I originally though to upload the page as an item in an album...

try

<?php
define('IN_COPPERMINE', true);
require('include/init.inc.php');

$REFERER =urlencode($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] ? '?' . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'] : ''));
if (!USER_ID && $CONFIG['allow_unlogged_access'] == 0) {
    $redirect = $CONFIG['ecards_more_pic_target']. "login.php?referer=".$REFERER;
    header("Location: $redirect");
    exit();
}

pageheader('Your page title goes here');
// your actual page content starts here
    starttable("100%", 'Content block title', 1);
    ?>

Donnoman - AWESOME!  These two tips not only solve my problem, they give me much more robust abilities than I had hoped for.  Thank you!
