Hello All,
Fairly new to WO however, I am quickly picking up the framework. I have a
new client that wants to have a dynamic web application built and I am
planning on using WO. Here is the scenario, question is at the end:
The client has an ERP system that outputs invoices and quotes for each
individual client in PDF and JPG format. The webmaster then goes and
creates a static webpage for the user that has an image of the invoice or
quote (for quick and easy viewing) as well as links to the PDF files for
them to download. All of these PDF and image files are located within
.htaccess protected directories for each client. In and effort to get them
online with this dynamic system quickly I want to first add in the
authentication page and then just dynamically generate the static pages that
the webmaster is currently doing by hand. This will require access to the
static PDF and JPG files. The question I have is what do some of you more
knowledgeable WO gurus suggest is the best way to access those static files?
Should I continue to maintain them in the webserver/client/root directory
under the .htaccess and have the WO app just access them directly or should
I have them moved to another location outside of the webserver/client/root
to some un-served directory on the server and have the WO app access them
there? We are moving the authentication to LDAP in preparations for the
second phase of the app so the .htaccess would really only be to keep casual
surfers out.
Thanks,
Darich
