Issues trying to retrieve pages/posts file listing in SERVER mode about cms.js HOT 4 CLOSED

Setting “Options +Indexes” instead of “Options Indexes” in the content directories’ .htaccess seems to at least help retrieving the file lists. However, the renderer still seems to fail retrieving the content given that the urls passed to get are lacking the /pages or /posts infixes.

EDIT: This seems to be related to #92 and I’m seeing the same type of directory listings as shown in #92 (comment)

from cms.js.

I have further debugged the issue and it seems it has to do with the way the index pages are structured by my server environment:

The getFiles function will enumerate all and push valid files into the this.files vector. However, the URL returned by getFileUrl is retrieved using getAttribute('href'), which in case is "somepage.md" instead of "pages/somepage.md" or "somedomain/pages/somepage.md", so file.getContent() in loadFiles() will fail retrieving the content later on.

I can fix this by manually adding the respective url prefix in getFiles(), e.g. by inserting var fileUrl = this.type + '/' + this.getFileUrl(file, config.mode); before if (isValidFile(fileUrl, config.extension)) { .. }. However, it seems that the correct fix would be configuring my server environment to output the index hrefs in the expected format.

Any hints on how Apache is expected to be configured (beyond than what can be found in the Wiki)?

Thanks!

Okay, I see this is a duplicate of #36 .

However, it seems that the issue hasn't been fixed for good, so here is my proposal to allow for auto-detecting whether the server provides full or relative index path hrefs:

Insert the following snippet

var baseUrl = window.location.host.split(":")[0] || "localhost";
if(fileUrl.indexOf(baseUrl) === -1) {
  fileUrl = _this2.type + '/' + fileUrl;
}

between the lines

var fileUrl = this.getFileUrl(file, config.mode);

and

if (isValidFile(fileUrl, config.extension)) { ...

in the getFiles function.
