redirection that is unnoticable. how?

[christopher]

i need to redirect www.stjohnsspalding.org to cps.jocnet.co.uk/church/ , but dont have a control panel for the address.

is there a way i can do it with HTML without people noticing they have been changed?

add this to your page:

Code: Select all

<META HTTP-EQUIV=Refresh CONTENT="1; URL=cps.jocnet.co.uk/church">

Minor point but the Refresh needs to be in quotes, ie., "Refresh".

that'll teach me for blindly copying and pasting :$

Perhaps .htaccess for this problem?

[christopher]

can you explain HTaccess please? i thought that was for Password protection.

[Dan Williamson]

Me and .htaccess don't know each other too well I think the code for this is:

HTML: Select all

Redirect /theurlyouwanttodirect http://yoursite.com/index.php

Sorry if that is wrong as I have never personally used it. .htaccess can be used for loads from SSI and MIME to blocking IPS

never use index.php, always use /

Google see's / (a folders root) and index.php as seperate resources.... so always use the ROOT. That way you keep page PR in your main sections and you dont serve up duplicate content. Hope this makes sense.

how about using <frame> to contain cps.jocnet.co.uk/church/ in the index page of www.stjohnsspalding.org ?

[Rob]

I was just going to suggest a frame.... a full page frame. This is the only you can do it without people seeing a change in the URL in the address bar.

Be warned however, people will not be able to bookmark individual pages.... only the frameset.

[christopher]

that sound good.

i may try that!
