About Odin Assemble

The Odin Assemble engine works with your web servers existing 404 handler to act as your "web-site." Odin Assemble works behinds the scenes to create HTML responses that appear to be static HTML documents. Odin Assemble provides a layer of functionality nonexistent in traditional web servers. These functions, the core of Odin Assemble, enable rapid web-site development, deployment and updating. Best of all, because Odin Assemble was designed to work in a limited resource environment performance is healthy. For maximum performance it's recommended you set $_page_cache_life in your config.inc.php file to between 360-600. If you have a web-site that has limited or no use of random "elements" then you can improve your web-site assemble time by increasing the $_page_cache_life value.

Goals

Odin Assemble attempts to combine the best time-saving elements of content management software with the speed and simplicity of static HTML web-sites. The resulting product offers some unique and useful characteristics.

Current Limitations

Because Odin Assemble uses your web servers 404 handler to act as your "web-site," it prevents the normal use of the html form "post" method. Odin Assemble uses an additional handler to manage the "post" method.

You can see the handler in action here. You can download the post handler in extras downloads area.

Is this Content Management?

Real content management systems provide a much broader range of functionality. While Odin Assemble can help you expedite your launch times, and minimize your maintenance, we do not consider Odin Assemble a content management application.
