SID-01150: Dynamically generate page displaying attachment

Hi, I have a question. I maintain a programming site and publish a lot of code I have written to it. I would like to be able to dynamically create pages that display this code, rather than having to create static pages for each program I write. Currently, I have to create a static page and include the following directive that looks something like this:

%CODE{"java"}%
%INCLUDE{"%ATTACHURL%/MyClass.java"}%
%ENDCODE%

which displays the code in the attached file MyClass.java

My question is this: is there a way to do this dynamically, e.g. create a template or something else to which I can just pass MyClass.java in a hyperlink so that when I click on it, the resulting page generated is equivalent to the static page? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Discussion and Answer

1. Create a custom template page that has the following:

%CODE{"java"}%
%URLPARAM{code}%
%ENDCODE%

2. Create a page that has an HTML form with a text field named topic and a textarea named code calling the save script.

This allows you to create a named page based on code pasted code into the textarea.
