Recently I managed to make some new improvements about website automation<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After the automation of gallery, in a previous post, I did this other automation (with php):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With the following code, you can list (and link) all webages php files containing in its filename the variable you can set:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php\necho \"<h3>testi on-line di $autore<\/h3>\";\necho \"<ul class=\\\"flexmenu\\\">\\n\";\n\n\/\/ Escape special characters in $autore to use safely in glob pattern\n$phpfiles = glob(\"$path\/*\" . preg_quote($autore_di, '\/') . \"*.php\"); \/\/ Get all PHP files with $autore in the name\n\nforeach ($phpfiles as $phpfile) {\n $contents = file_get_contents($phpfile);\n\n preg_match('\/\\$title\\s*=\\s*\"(.*?)\";\/', $contents, $titleMatch);\n preg_match('\/\\$subtitle\\s*=\\s*\"(.*?)\";\/', $contents, $subtitleMatch);\n preg_match('\/\\$description\\s*=\\s*\"(.*?)\";\/', $contents, $descriptionMatch);\n preg_match('\/\\$order\\s*=\\s*\"(.*?)\";\/', $contents, $orderMatch);\n\n $title = $titleMatch[1] ?? 'No title';\n $subtitle = $subtitleMatch[1] ?? 'No subtitle';\n $order = $orderMatch[1] ?? '';\n $description = $descriptionMatch[1] ?? 'No description';\n\n \/\/ Correctly extract the filename\n $filename = $phpfile; \/\/ Use basename on $phpfile directly\n\n echo \" <li role='menuitem' style=\\\"order:$order\\\"><a href=\\\"{$filename}\\\">{$title}<\/a>, <i>{$subtitle}<\/i>: {$description}<\/li>\\n\";\n}\n\necho \"<\/ul>\";\n\n\necho \"<h3>testi on-line su $autore<\/h3>\";\necho \"<ul class=\\\"flexmenu\\\">\\n\";\n\n\/\/ Escape special characters in $autore to use safely in glob pattern\n$phpfiles = glob(\"$path\/*\" . preg_quote($autore_su, '\/') . \"*.php\"); \/\/ Get all PHP files with $autore in the name\n\nforeach ($phpfiles as $phpfile) {\n $contents = file_get_contents($phpfile);\n\n preg_match('\/\\$title\\s*=\\s*\"(.*?)\";\/', $contents, $titleMatch);\n preg_match('\/\\$subtitle\\s*=\\s*\"(.*?)\";\/', $contents, $subtitleMatch);\n preg_match('\/\\$description\\s*=\\s*\"(.*?)\";\/', $contents, $descriptionMatch);\n preg_match('\/\\$order\\s*=\\s*\"(.*?)\";\/', $contents, $orderMatch);\n\n $title = $titleMatch[1] ?? 'No title';\n $subtitle = $subtitleMatch[1] ?? 'No subtitle';\n $order = $orderMatch[1] ?? '';\n $description = $descriptionMatch[1] ?? 'No description';\n\n \/\/ Correctly extract the filename\n $filename = $phpfile; \/\/ Use basename on $phpfile directly\n\n echo \" <li role='menuitem' style=\\\"order:$order\\\"><a href=\\\"{$filename}\\\">{$title}<\/a>, <i>{$subtitle}<\/i>: {$description}<\/li>\\n\";\n}\n\necho \"<\/ul>\";\n?>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nYou can call that code in a webpage, with something like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php\n\/*files beginning with i must be uppercase *\/\n$path=\"..\/testi\";\/\/ your path\n$autore=\"Aristotele\";\n$autore_di=\"Aristotele[di]\";\/\/texts of $autore\n$autore_su=\"Aristotele[su]\";\/\/texts about $autore\ninclude \"$root\/lista-files-testi-[autore]-online-con-metatags.inc\";\n?>\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nautomatically list files in a website menu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can create an automatic menu list of your files in a given folder, and in a folder with the same name of one file (without extension, of course). With a code like the following:
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<?php\n$phpfiles = glob(\"{$root}\/$menupath\/[^index]*.php\");\n\nforeach ($phpfiles as $phpfile) {\n $contents = file_get_contents($phpfile);\n\n \/\/ Match $order\n preg_match('\/\\$order\\s*=\\s*\"(.*?)\";\/', $contents, $orderMatches);\n\n \/\/ Match $title\n preg_match('\/\\$title\\s*=\\s*\"(.*?)\";\/', $contents, $titleMatches);\n\n \/\/ Assign the values\n $order = $orderMatches[1] ?? null;\n $title1 = $titleMatches[1] ?? null;\n\n $filename1 = basename($phpfile); \/\/ Get only the file name\n $filename = pathinfo($phpfile, PATHINFO_FILENAME);\n $filename = str_replace('-', ' ', $filename); \/\/ Replace hyphens with spaces in the filename\n $filename = ucfirst($filename); \/\/ Optional: Capitalize the first letter for better readability\n $link = \"$root\/$menupath\/{$filename1}\"; \/\/ Create the relative link\n\n \/\/ Start the list item for the menu\n echo \"<li role='menuitem' style=\\\"order:$order\\\"><a href=\\\"{$link}\\\">{$title1}<\/a>\";\n\n \/\/ Check if a sub-menu is required (look for a folder matching the filename)\n $folder = \"{$root}\/$menupath\/{$filename}\";\n if (is_dir($folder)) {\n \/\/ If the subfolder exists, generate the sublist automatically\n $subfiles = glob(\"{$folder}\/[^index]*.php\");\n if (count($subfiles) > 0) {\n echo \"<ul class='flexmenu'>\"; \/\/ Start sublist\n foreach ($subfiles as $subfile) {\n $subfileName = basename($subfile);\n $subfileTitle = pathinfo($subfile, PATHINFO_FILENAME);\n\n \/\/ Match $order for subfiles\n $subfileContents = file_get_contents($subfile);\n preg_match('\/\\$order\\s*=\\s*\"(.*?)\";\/', $subfileContents, $subfileOrderMatches);\n $subfileOrder = $subfileOrderMatches[1] ?? null;\n\n \/\/ Remove hyphens and add colon after the main part of the title\n $subfileTitle = str_replace('-', ' ', $subfileTitle);\n\n \/\/ Separate the main part (before the colon) and the rest of the title\n $parts = explode(' ', $subfileTitle, 2); \/\/ Split into two parts: main and description\n $mainPart = $parts[0]; \/\/ This is the first word (e.g., \"Aristotele\")\n $description = isset($parts[1]) ? $parts[1] : ''; \/\/ Everything after the first space (e.g., \"l etica\")\n\n \/\/ Combine the main part with colon and the description\n $formattedTitle = ucfirst($mainPart) . \": \" . $description;\n\n $subfileLink = \"$root\/$menupath\/{$filename}\/{$subfileName}\";\n echo \"<li style=\\\"order:$subfileOrder\\\"><a href=\\\"{$subfileLink}\\\">{$formattedTitle}<\/a><\/li>\";\n }\n echo \"<\/ul>\"; \/\/ End sublist\n }\n }\n \/\/ End the list item for the menu\n echo \"<\/li>\\n\";\n}\n?><\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThat you can call in a place of the whole menu with a code like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
$menupath=\"your\/relative-path\";\n include \"menu-automatic.inc\"; <\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nWhere menu-automatic.inc is the name of the file containing the above code.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
