Dynamic pages ============= Most of the time, when a developer create a new web site or web application he follows the steps: #. Create a set of templates (can be delegated to a web designer) #. Create a new API or create a proxy API. #. Create pages over the templates. Many web sites / applications have a minimal set of master templates and all web pages follow those templates. This kind of approach keeps site consistency and decouple layouts from actual content. In **Fantastico**, it is extremely easy to work in this manner thanks to **Dynamic pages** extension. Dynamic pages divides pages into two main parts: #. Page meta information (title, keywords, description, language) #. Page model / content (markup, text keys or any other kind of information). Using dynamic pages you can easily add new web pages to your project without writing a single line of server side code. Integration ----------- #. Activate **Dynamic pages** extension. .. code-block:: bash fsdk activate-extension --name dynamic_pages --comp-root #. Add new dynamic pages to your project using **/sql/create_data.sql**. .. code-block:: sql INSERT INTO pages(id, name, url, template, keywords, description, title, language) VALUES(1, '/en/home', '/en/home', '/frontend/views/master.html', 'keyword 1, ...', 'Home page', 'description', 'en-US'); INSERT INTO page_models(page_id, name, value) VALUES(1, 'article_left', '

Hello world.

'); INSERT INTO page_models(page_id, name, value) VALUES(1, 'article_right', '

Hello world right.

'); #. Update your project database .. code-block:: bash fsdk syncdb --db-command /usr/bin/mysql --comp-root #. Create **master.html** template file under **/frontend/views/**. .. code-block:: html {{page.title}}

After you integrated **dynamic pages** extension into your project you can access http://localhost:12000/dynamic/test/default/page from a browser. You should see a very simple dynamic page rendered. Current limitations ------------------- In the first version of this component (part of **Fantastico 0.4**) there are some known limitations: * Create / Delete / Update / Bulk listing API are not provided. You can do this through create_data.sql script. * There is no way to rewrite dynamic pages url so that they do not contain */dynamic* prefix.
