Change file path and open in localhost browser

[jasondavis]

I have never used Python before. However I am trying to create a simple plugin that will allow me to open my PHP, HTML, HTM files in a web browser

I will show you the parts I have so far and hopefully someone with more knowledge can help me complete this.


FILE = Context.sublime-menu

Code: Select all

[
    { "command": "openonserver", "caption": "Open on Server" }
]

FILE = openonserver.sublime-commands

Code: Select all

[
    {
        "caption": "Open file on Server",
        "command": "openonserver"
    }
]

Code: Select all

FILE= openonserver.sublime-settings
{
   "server_url": "http://localhost/",
   "local_file_path": "E:\Server\htdocs\",
}

So what I have is

[list=]
[*]The code to add a context menu so I can just simply right click in file and click to open it on the server
[*]Code to add it as a command
[*]A setting file where I can set the file path to my dev server where the files I will be opening are located and a setting to set the url to where it should open the file in the browser
[/list]

What I need the .py file to do is take the full file path and if the value for setting local_file_path exist in the path, it should replace it with the value of setting server_url

So a file path of

Code: Select all

E:\Server\htdocs\mytest_project_\some\folder_\test.php


would get replaced with a value of

Code: Select all

http://localhost/mytest_project_/some/folder_/test.php


I then need it to launch the web browser with this modified path


I don't think this should be too hard but I know nothing of Python, if someone could help me I would appreciate it and I think others will find this useful as well

Ok I am sure, actually I am positive someone with more Python knowledge can improve this as this is my first time ever touching Python code (I never worked with a language where a space will kill the program)

Anyways feel free to improve.

The only issue I have ran into so far, is when I run this on any kind of file that does not have a default program set for opening it, it will give me the popup window asking to choose a program. In a perfect world this would open the file in my web browser regardless of what file extension it has.

What this plugin does?
It allows you to set a path to your local dev server and a path to where you access these files on your dev server on the browser. For me I have the path E:\Server\htdocs set to the URL http://localhost so if I am editing a file in Sublimetext2 that is located @ E:\Server\htdocs\coolproject\testing.php I can then run this from a hotket, a right click context menu, or the tools menu and have it open the file in my web browser at the location http://localhost/coolproject/testing.php
