# sfSimplePagePlugin

## Overview

The sfSimplePagePlugin allows you to manage like static pages with symfony.

for example, if the request  is like this

    http://example.com/frontend_dev.php/static/sample.html

the module of this plugin, which is sfSimplePage module, render the sample.html in ./data/static directory.

if the request is like this

    http://example.com/frontend_dev.php/static/hoge/sample2.html

render the sample2.html in ./data/static/hoge directory.

These page is rendered by symfony, so you can use view system of partial, component, helper...

## Installation

  * Install plugin:
        
        symfony plugin-install http://plugins.symfony-project.com/sfSimplePagePlugin
        
  * or through Subversion:
        
        svn co http://svn.symfony-project.com/plugins/sfSimplePagePlugin/trunk

  * (only symfony 1.2+) Enable this plugin in ProjectConfiguration.class.php
        
        public function setup()
        {
          $this->enablePlugins('sfSimplePagePlugin');
        }

  * Enable this sfSimplePage  module in your setting.yml
        
        all:
          .settings:
            enabled_modules:        [default, sfSimplePage]

  * Make "static" directory in data directory
        
        mkdir ./data/static

  * Deploy your template in ./data/static directory

  * Clear cache
        
        ./symfony cc
        
  * [Optional] Use the sfSimplePageFile routing rule to create links to files in the static root dir
  
        e.g.in template : 
        echo link_to( 'About', '@sfSimplePageFile?file=about.html')

  * [Optional] I18n support is provided through the classical means of session user culture (sf_culture parameter)
  
    In application app.yml add  
            sf_simple_page_plugin_use_i18n: true 
        to enable i18n support

   Now the session user culture (e.g. en, gr) is interpreted as a first implicit directory.
    Also when the static file is not found under the culture dir a final attempt is made on the static folder before giving a 404 error.
        
        Example contents of static folder
        static/
            en/
                help.html
                about.html
            el/
                help.html
                about.html
        
    The application is responsible for the management of a sane sf_culture session variable. 
    Read i18n support in "symfony book".

  * [Optional] Use the component sfSimplePage/static ('file'=>$file) from anywhere in the view layer to embed static content on every page you desire.

        e.g. in apps/frontend/modules/product/templates/showSuccess.php
        [...]
        <div id="terms">
        <?php include_component('sfSimplePage','static', array('file'=>'terms.html') ) ?>
        </div>
    will output the contents of terms.html file inside the #terms div !
    
## NOTES:
*  The names of the route prefix and the static content directory can be changed 
   from the application app.yml configuration file. Also the routes can be disabled, 
   in this case new routes have to be defined at the main routing.yml file
   
        e.g. in apps/frontend/config/app.yml:
        all:
          sf_simple_page_plugin:
            route_prefix: documentation
            template_path: %SF_DATA_DIR%/doc
            routes_register: true
      
  This will mean that the route prefix for static content is documentation
  (i.e. domain.com/index.php/documentation) and that the file data are 
  in data/doc relative to sympfony root on a typical installation
