Copy htaccess files and other misc

[saimn]

Good idea !

I'm thinking this should be in gallery.Gallery.build() ? Something like:

if self.settings['copy_htaccess']:
        if exists('.htaccess'):
            copy('.htaccess', self.settings['destination'])

I was thinking to something more generic, inspired by an old setting from pelican:

FILES_TO_COPY = (
        ('src/robots.txt', 'robots.txt'),
        ('src/images/favicon.ico','favicon.ico'),
        )

A list of tuples with the src and dest for each file to copy.

Sounds good! :)

I'm not sure how to specify this. Is it possible to have it copy any .htaccess file found in the source directories? I want it simply to copy some files found in the source directory to the output directory...? I fear I'd have to specify every file.

files_to_copy = (('hires/2014/.htacess', 'gallyer/2014/.htaccess'),
                ('hires/2013/.htacess', 'gallyer/2013/.htaccess'),
                ('hires/2012/.htacess', 'gallyer/2012/.htaccess'),
                ('hires/2011/.htacess', 'gallyer/2011/.htaccess'),
                ('hires/2010/.htacess', 'gallyer/2010/.htaccess'),
)

I've simplified my access controls so I can now make due with the specification below. I still think a list of files that are copied from all source directories is preferable, but this will do. Thank you for the feature!

files_to_copy = (
                ('_extras/htaccess-lock-index', '1972-1995/.htaccess'),
                ('_extras/htaccess-lock-index', '1996-1999/.htaccess'),
                ('_extras/htaccess-lock-index', '1999/.htaccess'),
                ('_extras/htaccess-lock-index', '2000/.htaccess'),
                ('_extras/htaccess-lock-index', '2001/.htaccess'),
                ('_extras/htaccess-lock-index', '2002/.htaccess'),
                ('_extras/htaccess-lock-index', '2003/.htaccess'),
                ('_extras/htaccess-lock-index', '2004/.htaccess'),
                ('_extras/htaccess-lock-index', '2005/.htaccess'),
                ('_extras/htaccess-lock-index', '2006/.htaccess'),
                ('_extras/htaccess-lock-index', '2007/.htaccess'),
                ('_extras/htaccess-lock-index', '2008/.htaccess'),
                ('_extras/htaccess-lock-index', '2009/.htaccess'),
                )

Hi Joseph,
Sorry for the lack of update, I was afk the last week-end. As the settings file is a python script you could use something like

files_to_copy = [('_extras/htaccess-lock-index', '{}/.htaccess'.format(dir)) for dir in os.listdir('_build')]

Huh, I'll think about that!

so once you'll have copied files in place, you'll notice that your gallery will prompt for passwords in sections even if they are not protected by .htaccess files. in case that's a problem for you, you may want to read up on the solution i found out in #220 (comment).
