Instead of: http://www.Domain.com/newsletter.asp?article=37 It would much better to have: http://www.Domain.com/newsletter/article-37.asp Any chance this can option can be added? |

This can not be done in ASP without the aid of components. Have a look at the ISAPI Rewrite component, it should be able to re-write the URL's to nice HTML ones with the present version of NewsPad without any tweaking. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

You could actually do it without the use of components in .asp. I've done this before with another application. Create a script to make 1000 asp pages. Call them: article-1.asp
article-2.asp article-3.asp
The contents of each files can just be an include statement to include newsletter.asp
Or to keep it clean (And to keep the 1000 asp files out of your main directory you could do:
/article/1.asp
/article/2.asp
/article/3.asp
To pass the article ID, you could either write a little bit of code to set a global variable, or what I did as just continue to pass in the querystring (i.e. /article/1.asp?article=1). And even if the search engines ignore the ?article=1, they do recognize that each is a different .asp, which may be beneficial over just article.asp?article=1

on the above you could just use http://www.s2h.co.uk/asp/reference/request/servervariables.asp - Server Variables to get the page name like so:
Which would eliminate the need for querystrings.... the whole point of having the pages. If you can have Custom 404 pages, you could also look at grabbing the name of the page and checking its in the folder "/articles/" (which wouldnt exisit), if it is, return the article, if not "/articles/" then return a 404 page. ------------- S2H.co.uk - http://www.s2h.co.uk/wwf/" rel="nofollow - WebWiz Mods and Skins For support on my mods + skins, please use http://www.s2h.co.uk/forum/" rel="nofollow - my forum . |
