Giving Users Access

Linking to the editter

The easiest way to give a person access to the page is to point them to the browser. If you have comfyedit installed in cgi-bin the url for this will be:

http://myhost.com/cgi-bin/comfyedit/comfyedit.cgi/

They can then browse around the pages as normal, and there will be a note at the bottom of each page. If the file can be written to (see configuration) then there will be a link to edit the file. (Note: the browser will not work with absolute links, e.g., <a href="/mypage.html">)

The other way to give access to the users is to give them the URL directly to the editting page (or put the URLs on a web page). If you want to edit the page located in /var/www/dates/index.html whose URL is /dates/ then the link is:

/cgi-bin/comfyedit/comfyedit.cgi?edit=/var/www/dates/index.html&url=/dates/

That is, ?edit=<file location>&url=<url> page setup Ian Bicking Last modified: Thu Aug 24 14:20:07 CDT 2000
