NAME
lib/mktemp-validedit.pl - Given a template handle, check the template exists
SYNOPSIS
require "$ROADS::Lib/mktemp-validedit.pl";
&CheckValidTemplate;DESCRIPTION
This package defines a function CheckValidTemplate which, given a template handle, tries to find out whether it exists in the ROADS database.
METHODS
CheckValidTemplate;
This function examines the CGI variable originalhandle and tries to open an existing template with this handle. If unsuccessful it returns a page of HTML to explain what went wrong.
FILES
config/multilingual/*/mktemp/notemplates.html - HTML returned if no template mappings file (alltemps) could be found.
config/multilingual/*/mktemp/nonexistent.html - HTML returned if the template file itself couldn't be opened.
guts/alltemps - default location of template handle to filename mappings.
BUGS
We shouldn't be reading alltemps directly - should use the ROADS::ReadTemplate abstractions instead. Should also simply return an error code if the template couldn't be found rather than bombing out.
