Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Web Design and Content : CMS with HTML extension

[dxoxb]

I hv come a cross some large site and I believe they are using CMS. One such site is http://www.southaustralia.biz But interestingly, all their page ends with a .htm.

Anyone know of a CMS that does that? Or if it is not using a CMS at all.

It can be done using mod_rewrite and from what it seems at the first look, they are using Website Baker: http://www.websitebaker.org a very powerful CMS.

You don't even need mod_rewrite. A simple .htaccess statement mapping all .htm files to .php (.jsp, .asp, whatever) will do the trick, maybe not for websitebaker which I'm not familiar with.

Thanks Bigbison, How should the htaccess statement be? I got no idea on how this shd be done.

Something like this:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .htm

This forces all .htm files to be executed as PHP scripts.

My way does require the files to be saved, and linked to, as .htm. If you want the files saved as .php, but linked to as .htm, you will need mod_rewrite.
