controller_page
Show a rsc as a HTML page.
This controller is used to show the HTML page of a resource. A “404 Not Found” or “410 Gone” page is shown if the requested page never existed or has been deleted.
The user will be redirected to the logon URL when the current user
is not allowed to view the page.
This controller also adds a noindex response header when the page’s
seo_noindex flag is set.
Example dispatch rule:
{page, ["page", id], controller_page, []}
Dispatch arguments
controller_page recognizes the following arguments inside the dispatch pattern:
| Argument | Description | Example URL |
|---|---|---|
| id | The id of the page (rsc) to be shown. This can be the numerical id or the unique name of a page. | /page/12345 |
Dispatch options
The following options can be given to the dispatch rule:
| Option | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| id | Id or unique name of the resource to
be shown. This overrules any id in
the query arguments. Use user_id
for the id of the current user. |
{id, page_about} |
| template | Name of the template to be rendered. Defaults to “page.tpl” Can also be a tuple of the following form: {cat, Name}. See also: catinclude. | {template, “about.tpl”} {template, {cat, “home. tpl”}} |
| cat | The category the resource that is requested has to be. If a page of a different category is requested, a 404 is shown. | {cat, text} |
| acl_action | What ACL action will be checked. Defaults to ‘view’; but can also be ‘edit’ if users need edit permission on the rsc to be able to access the resource. | {acl_action, edit} |
| acl | Extra authorization checks to be performed. | See ACL options. |
| is_canonical | Whether this URL should be considered the caninical URL of the page. If so, the controller will redirect to the rsc’s page path if set. Defaults to true. | {is_canonical, false} |
| seo_noindex | Ask crawlers to not index this page. | seo_noindex |
| nocache | Prevent browser caching this page. | nocache |
ACL options
Authorization checks to perform, in addition to the
acl_action dispatch option, can be given in the acl dispatch
option, and accepts the following options:
| ACL option | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
is_auth |
Disable anonymous access to this resource. | {acl, is_auth} |
logoff |
Log out user before processing the request. | {acl, logoff} |
{Action, Resource} |
Check if user is allowed to perform Action
on Resource. The example is equivalent to
the options {acl_action, edit}, {id,
my_named_page}. |
{acl, {edit, my_named_page}} |
[{Action, Resource}] |
A list of checks to be performed, as above. | {acl, [
{view, secret_page},
{update, 345}
]}
|
ignore |
Don’t perform any access control checks. Be careful to add your own checks in the rendered template and all its included templates. | {acl, ignore} |
