Where do I put the documentation/help for user-written tests? 🔗 link

This used to go in $BBHOME/www/notes -- but hobbit is returning "No
match".

OK, I found it under $HOBBITHOME/server/etc in columndoc.csv. Now --
we've a couple of in-house generated tests documented in
www/notes/<test>.html -- among other things, these docs include urls to
recovery documentation. I'm not real comfortable with trying to shoehorn
this into a common csv file.

Suggestions?

TIA

Change the hobbitcolumn.sh CGI script. It's passed only one parameter in
the QUERY_STRING environment - the name of the column. So you could do
something like 

#!/bin/sh

QS="${QUERY_STRING}"

if [ -f /usr/local/hobbit/server/www/help/$QS.html ]; then
   echo "Content-type: text/html"
   echo ""
   cat /usr/local/hobbit/server/www/help/$QS.html
else
   QUERY_STRING="db=columndoc.csv&key=${QS}"
   export QUERY_STRING

   exec /usr/lib/hobbit/server/bin/bb-csvinfo.cgi  \
      --env=/usr/lib/hobbit/server/etc/hobbitserver.cfg \
           --color=purple --hffile=columndoc
fi

Currently, whenever I feel like it :-)

I not at my for-pay-work this week - I have a few days off and is
merely enjoying myself and relaxing with some Hobbit tweaking. 
Nothing like a rainy day to catch up on the little issues that 
have appeared.

(But now, it's off to bed).
