|
|
I have a question.
Say I have this:
www.blahblahblah.com/blah/index.php
and I want to direct people to just type in www.blahblahblah.com (without all the /blah/index.php crap), yet they could still go straight to their forum, how would I do that without screwing it up?
I am trying to help someone do this, and forums are so touchy and easy to screw up - I don't want them to blow everything they have. :lol: |

HTTP redirect. It needs to be set up in your HTTP server config files. If you don't have access to those, usually the host (if you pay) will provide some sort of configuration page to set up redirects.
If you can't set up an HTTP redirect, you can use the old, crappy method of meta tag redirects, which are done like this:
Code: <meta http-equiv=refresh content="1; url=http://www.blahblahblah.com/blah/index.php">
You would put that within <head> of http://www.blahblahblah.com/index.html. The first method is MUCH preferred, as the latter method breaks the "Back" function of the browser because hitting "Back" simply sends you to index.html which would immediately return you to blah/index.php. |
