'cloaking' URLS of individual Pages

[Mintsoft]

Good Morning all,

 

I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to make it so that the address bar doesn't contain like:

"http://intranet/Calendar.asp"

it just shows "http://intranet" regardless of what page you're on.

 

Thanks

Rob

There's no easy way to do this. Especially not with ASP/IIS.

Ive never tried to do this using IIS/ASP and i never figured out if you could do it using PHP either..... the way around this i found, and which could save u time messing around with IIS settings is

 

on the default.asp setup the page using frames, so that the top frame is like 0% and sits at the top and then all yr content sits in the bottom frame, and that way the URL will just stay as http://Http://intranet cause all the linking will take place in the bottom frame...

 

One solution

Hi Rob, you probably have your reasons for doing this, but it is a bad idea if your users like to bookmark the pages - they won't be able to do this.

 

However, if you still want this effect you can achieve it best using frames, or you could use a complex .htaccess file if you have an Apache webserver.

 

Frames method:

 

index.html

Intranet


 

 

You'll probably have to rename your current homepage (index/default) page to something else so the frames page is the default page.

 

Where index.html is your default/index page in your Intranet's wwwroot and start.html has links to everything else on your intranet.

Mind you, the other thing to think about is that they can right click the page and view the properties, which holds the address...

To be honest with you theres nowt TO bookmark on the intranet, but this way it just keeps it looking a bit tidier. Cheers for that

Its nothing sensitive, it doesn't really NEED to be done, its just to keep it looking 'simple' for the IT Coordinator when I show them

We have this at the moment and it makes it a nightmare for bots to scavenge or index, meaning hardly any of our site is in Google.

 

A bit of a pain and I am going the other way ... removing the single site address for *everything*

Bookmarking in IE FYI does keep a tab on which frames hold which

You could probably do this with URL rewriting. I am looking at implementing the same thing as you and found this free utility after some searching:

 

http://www.iismods.com/url-rewrite/index.htm

 

It is basically an IIS implementation of mod_rewrite for apache.
