I need to be able to have a section go to a directory to pull off a topic like this http://www.foo.bar/section/ instead of the default http://www.foo.bar.com/index.php?topic=section

Well

Would this will take a bit of work. If you are on *nix use mod_rewrite. If not, I have a url class in cvs in 1.3.x tree in system/classes. That class can turn a url like: http://www.example.com/index.php?topic=foo into http://www.example.com/index.php/foo That class also require *nix as there is a bug in the windows CGI that prevents this from working properly.

Well

Good idea on both ends, the problem is, I need Section One/ Section Wto/ ectra to all look different each with different headers, block content ectra/ While sharing a database. The current backend for my site is a scrapped together speghetti code written in c. For blatently obvious reasons I am looking towards moving to php. After conciderible testing of various CMS and portal packages, (PostNuke, PhpNuke, EzPublish,PhpWebsite,Backend,Drupal,DaCode, Siteseed, Scoop, PhpSlash) I like the features,and the enchanced security found in this Application. Its just about everything I want, without the hasle of having to write it myself While I just am starting to learn PHP, I am am looking to turn my website evil-ware.com, into a geeklog site without any change to the UI.

mod_rewrite

Has anyone looked into the uses of mod_rewrite with geeklog? I'm sure something could be put together, maybe I'll pull another week out of my arse and code it up

Actaully, I have done some research into this. I need to do some extensive testing of this, but for now , this seems to work. RewriteEngine on RewriteLogLevel 0 RewriteCond /www/vs/link/webroot/% !-f RewriteRule ^(.+) /index.php?topic= To me , this seems okay, but eventually i will write a php class /hack to allow for modular topic design.. I.e. Different headers, footers, side boxes, themes, per topic.
