Hi Jeff, I was looking at this email you posted to the list and I am looking at the same thing. Would you be kind enough to send me the files and instructions off-list as well?

Last year I was discussing this same topic with the Marketing department of one of my clients. They wanted to be able to print short marketable links for print and TV ads). After looking at how Macromedia.com does their's I came up with the solution to use "domain/go/alias". With the help of Chris Kent we worked out the code to get it working in Farcry (without making core code changes). Then with a slight modification to FriendlyURLs (thanks to Spike) the code was complete. The modification could easily be implimented into Farcry core. I sent email requests and code samples to Geoff Bowers back in Feb 2005, but it never turned anything up (he said he was interested, but that it'd have to wait for build 240. I'm guessing thats not gonna happen :). Right now they're a little overwhelmed with all of the Glamour changes where new features like this likely need to be put on hold for a while). An example can be seen here (http://www.midhosp.org/go/midHome). I have it setup so that anytime the buildlink tag sees that the destination navigation node has an alias, it uses this new method (otherwise it uses domain/go/uuid). Of couse anything after that is considered variables and variable answers (go/uuid/var1/ans1/var2/ans2) keeping the SES happy. If you'd like the code I'd be happy to share it (email me off list). Also, you'll need the new version of FriendlyURLs. I've asked Spike to update his site with the newer version (which is backwards compatable). Hopefully he'll get that all set soon. -Jeff C. P.S. Months later the marketing department is ecstatic. They can simply take any page and give it an alias. Within seconds they have a simple link that is ready for marketable material. --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
