Grabber Script for GeekLog

HacksHere is an external HTML grabber script as modified from the 4CM_Grabber script found at http://4cm.com. This script has been modified to display external webpage content within a GeekLog site. 4cm's download site states that this code is proprietary, but gives no details about usage restriction. It is free, in any case, and since I do not profit from it I'm releasing this code anyway in the hopes that the GeekLog plugin developers here can use it as a basis for a better "external includes" plugin.

In any case, expect NO help from 4cm in regards to this particular script. You're not going to get much help from me, either, since suprise of surprises, I am not a PHP programmer.

See the script in action at Thane Community.

Grabber Script for GeekLog
Authored by: tomw on Tuesday, February 11 2003 @ 02:01 PM EST

The script is very simple and should not be considered propriatery.  I have suggested things like this for a long time, but no one has followed my lead.  See here for instance.  I used the technique with the Story Importer which predates the external pages plugin.

The big problem that this does not solve is the problem of http variables and session variables.  People seem to think that since you can't see them they do not matter.  There are many design issues involved in this and I decided it would create less problems to use the technique I used.  If you want to extend the external pages plugin to encompass your method add the SEC_externalAccess call to your file.  I think it will break search though.
