Re: CF friendly URL Major Search Engine Design.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 http://www.greatgames.co.uk/index.cfm/fuseaction/ACTION index.cfm is an directory ? how can i do that ? I use a fuseaction like a URL paramater not like a directory. No, you code the way you normall would. The formURL2attributes tag just converts everything after the index.cfm to the appropriate variables. So in your code where you normally write http://foo.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=runaway You would make the link http://foo.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/runaway (you can even add a .htm on the end if you want) The formurl2attributes tag converts the /fuseaction/runaway to the appropriate attributes.fuseaction = runaway (Since it sounds like you are using Fusebox, then you are probably using that tag. If you are NOT, then you can write a function yourself to parse the cgi.query_string variable, which is where the extra information gets stored. c -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.5.8 for message encryption and authentication: USE PGP!

Re: CF friendly URL Major Search Engine Design.
It's not a CF drawback as much as it's a dynamic page drawback, whether you use CF, cgi, asp, perl, or whatever. That is, one problem is that as soon as a search engine sees the "?" in the following: index.cfm?ID=234 it assumes ID can have many values and stops. There are workarounds, one article mentioned here recently is: http://www.clickz.com/cgi-bin/gt/article.html?article=2444 best, paul At 10:20 AM 9/22/00 +, you wrote: I've been made aware that a drawback of CF is that the URL's are unfriendly to the major search engines. == Paul Smith, Web/Database Droid A: SupportNet, Inc, 3871 Piedmont Ave, Oakland, CA 94611 (There, there, there; there's, there, there) P: (510) 763-2358 C: (510) 205-6755 F: (510) 763-2370 E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.support.net -- Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ To Unsubscribe visit http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=listsbody=lists/cf_talk or send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 'unsubscribe' in the body.

RE: CF friendly URL Major Search Engine Design.
With proper coding, even a templates within a fusebox app can show up properly in the search engines. This subject has come up many times on the Fusebox list. I'd suggest you look through the archives of that list and visit the Fusebox.org site for information on how to do it. Personally, I don't want the engines digging into my sites anyway. I'm happy with a simple link to the front door. ---mark -- Mark Warrick Phone: (714) 547-5386 Efax.com Fax: (801) 730-7289 Personal Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Personal URL: http://www.warrick.net Business Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Business URL: http://www.fusioneers.com ICQ: 346566 -- -Original Message- From: Juan Andres Alvarez Valenzuela [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, September 22, 2000 9:13 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CF friendly URL Major Search Engine Design.

Re: CF friendly URL Major Search Engine Design.
Kevin, I found away around this. This worked for me anyway. We worked with a law firm whose practice groups and attorney info was stored in a DB unaccesible to search engines. So what I did was generate static HTML with Cold Fusion and left the templates on the server for the search engines to pick up. I put a META tag with a refresh of 0 to the actual CF template in the HTML. So if someone clicked the on the link of the HTML from the search engine they are actually going to get the CFM page. - Original Message - From: "Kevin Merker" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "CF-Talk" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 22, 2000 5:20 AM Subject: CF friendly URL Major Search Engine Design.

RE: CF friendly URL Major Search Engine Design.
Just us the custom tag that someone has made in fusebox for your regular coldfusion coding. I think it's cf_formurltoattrib or somerthing like that it's on fusebox.org.
