OT: dynamic urls from CFObjective
I was talking to someone at CF.Objective about an idea I had for displaying dynamic pages as if they were static. He had tried some stuff out and didn't get it (yet). If your here, email me off list. I've got it. Look at these 3 urls: http://www.fusionauthority.com/Reviews/Article.cfm/ArticleID:4589 http://www.fusionauthority.com/Reviews/4589-Photoshop-CS2-Review-An-Instructors-Perspective.htm http://www.fusionauthority.com/Reviews/4589-Photoshop-CS2-Review-An-Instructors-Perspective All are using the exact same code and the content is in the DB, not stored physically. This is the SEO killer. :) ~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:235660 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

Isn't this just simple apache URL rewriting? -Original Message- From: Michael Dinowitz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 17, 2006 3:29 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: OT: dynamic urls from CFObjective I was talking to someone at CF.Objective about an idea I had for displaying dynamic pages as if they were static.

Re: dynamic urls
I did this in my cms. In implementation the user either picks a page name or it gets picked for them. Thats why you see pages on my site like http://mysecretbase.com/ampro_home.cfm and http://mysecretbase.com/page_1078.cfm Both are dynamic pages, but on the latter one I got lazy. Basically CF strips the page name (sans the preceding folders and the extension) and looks for it in the 'my page name' field, which is indexed. If it doesn't find that it does some more gymnastics to pull out the ID number it finds embedded in the text. There are a bunch of ways you could implement this for automated generation. Determine the org name from a session var, stick in a '-' and then parse/camelcase the page title and make that the page name so you get http://mydomain.com/myorganization-wooHoo.cfm -- --Matt Robertson-- President, Janitor MSB Designs, Inc. mysecretbase.com ~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Silver Sponsor - New Atlanta http://www.newatlanta.com Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:187039 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
dynamic urls
This is slightly OT but I'll shoot anyway. We're looking to create web sites for approx 1200 afilliated organizations. The sites would all be run using the same CF templates. It would be very nice to have a virtual directory for each or else a unique URL for each. Is there a way to have IIS look at a database rather than create a real virtual directory for each? Or is there another way to create an easy URL and avoid the following http://verylongsitename.org/local_content/page.cfm?ID=1033 ? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: dynamic urls
You might do something with a custom 404 script. Perhaps www.verylongsitename.org/affiliatedorganization. Have a database of your organizations storred in an array in a server or application variable, then when someone comes into the site, and the actual directory does not exist, the custom 404 will parse out what they were looking for, find it in the array and send them to your local_content/page.cfm?ID=1033. Make sense? Dave This is slightly OT but I'll shoot anyway. We're looking to create web sites for approx 1200 afilliated organizations. The sites would all be run using the same CF templates.
