@ -48,23 +48,23 @@ I suggest this should go to full_shownotes.html
So `ROOT/eps/hpr3648/index.html` would point to `ROOT/eps/hpr3648/full_shownotes.html`
| Dave | The issue is that, although we started with show "assets" as
`ROOT/eps/hpr1234_picture1.jpg` and the like, it was decided that we'd make a
sub-directory per show for such things: `ROOT/eps/hpr1234/picture1.jpg`. Then
because the web server is set to allow directory browsing (I think I have this
right) we realised we needed an `index.html` in that directory. I create these
as a list of the URLs of all the assets in the sub-directory, pictures, long
notes, etc. I do this when preparing pictures for shows I process as well.
However, there's no guarantee that all shows with assets are set up with an
`index.html` if it might be needed.
The placement of assets for shows is duplicated on the IA - or is in the
process of being copied over.
Actually, I'm not clear why we allow directory browsing anyway, I thought most
web servers could turn this off (caveat: I used to be a web admin but in the
*very* early days, and my knowledge may be past its sell by date).
