<tt>nameresolver</tt> is a CGI program that allows lengthy URLs-- e.g., those with multiple CGI parameters-- to be translated to a short URL for permanence. In the case of DLPS, URLs such as: * http://www.hti.umich.edu/cgi/t/text/text-idx?c=moa;idno=1462339.1913.002 Get translated to: * http://name.umdl.umich.edu/1462339.1913.002 This provides a bookmarkable URL for incorporation into DLXS templates and other web pages. The program works by parsing the <tt>ID</tt> attribute of the <tt>A</tt> field in Bib Class and appending the value of that attribute to the <tt>http://name.umdl.umich.edu/</tt> prefix. The record associated with the <tt>A</tt> field is what the user sees when they link to the short, persistent, nameresolver URL, e.g., http://name.umdl.umich.edu/1462339.1913.002 To use the program: # Create Bib Class records with appropriate <tt>ID</tt> attributes. # Create a new group in collmgr with the ID of <tt>bibperm</tt> with webdir set to <tt>/b/bibperm</tt>. # Check those Bib Class collections you want to provide nameresolver URLs for and release the group. The program itself lives in /{$DLXSROOT}/cgi/b/bib and is called <tt>bibperm</tt>.
