I did this back in the days of CF 5 where I'd use the site-wide error template as a url remapper. It worked. I won't really recommend it though because it is using a tool that was really meant for a different task.
Instead, I'd suggest using a url rewriter plugin for your webserver. modrewrite for apache or isapi rewrite for IIS, there are probably others, will let you handle incoming requests at the webserver level and produce requests to CF that have the proper combination of query string objects that you'd expect in a normal request. That would then leave you to use onMissingTemplate() to handle what it was intended for..missing templates. So in short, yes, it should work. But no, I wouldn't do it that way :) Judah On Fri, Oct 17, 2008 at 7:46 AM, Jason Fill <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am currently trying to plan out an application and am curious about what > other think about something I have in mind. > > I would like the URLs to be in the form of domain.com/thepagename-pageid.cfm. > Simple as that....but the page will not actually exist.
