A friend of mine was telling me that you can create a small script on your site that will take a url like the following:

www.somewhere.com/article.cfm?id=1

and actually return:

www.somwhere.com/article_o1.cfm (or something similar)

Could someone point me in the right direction on how to achieve this? I am on a cold fusion server and I would love to hava static url for my dynamic content.

Thanks.

Does any of the HMS staff have any feedback? Thank you.

Nsahlas,

Sorry about the delay in getting back to you. If you're on a Linux server, mod_rewrite would be your best option. If not, you may be able to put some code in the Application.cfm file in your directory which would parse the URL and then load the appropriate content based on that(without sending GET variables)

Let us know if you need more help on this - I'd try to be more specific but I don't know CF

http://www.houseoffusion.com/ and scroll down to Search Engine Safe (SES) URLs for doing this in ColdFusion

and I kind of ripped it from a previous post here.

Here is a redirect script in ASP:

<%EnableSessionState=False

host = Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_HOST")

if host = "sitename.com" or host = "www.sitename.com" then
response.redirect("http://sitename.com/subsite/index.htm")

elseif host = "sitename2.com" or host = "www.sitename2.com" then
response.redirect("http://sitename2.com/subsite/index.htm")

else
response.redirect("http://sitename.com/error.htm")

end if
