| - | <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>.
