resource_static_pages

Serve a static page or pages.

With this Webmachine resource it is possible to add a static sub site to your Zotonic site. Add the site and all files to a directory in your template directory or your site’s directory and define the directory in a dispatch rule.

Example dispatch rule:

{oldsite, ["old", '*'], resource_static_pages, [{root, "old_site"}]}

When a file "a.txt" is requested this resource will check for "a.txt" and "a.txt.tpl".  When it finds a ".tpl" file then that file be handled as a template.  All dispatch configuration variables are available in the template.

Directories will be redirected to the directory name with a "/" appended.  The resource serves the file "index.html" or "index.html.tpl" for the directory contents.

It has the following dispatch options:

Option	Description	Example
root	Name of the directory in the templates (or site) directory containing the static files.	{root, "mydir"}
use_cache	Whether or not served files are cached in memory for an hour. Defaults to false. Use this for high-volume traffic when the files themselves do not change often.	{use_cache, true}
allow_directory_index	Whether or not to serve a directory listing when no index file is found. Defaults to false. The directory index is rendered using directory_index.tpl in mod_base. (zotonic >= 0.9)	{allow_directory_index, true}

This resource does not handle any request arguments.
