Topic: How to create a Posting in the root of a Web site
Is it possible to create postings in the root of a Web site? Currently I'm
using an ASPX page in the root of my website and do a redirect to
http://servername/Channels.
Answer
Yes this is possible by using the "map channel names to host header names"
feature. For details check out this article:
326783 - HOWTO: Enable the Map Channel Names to Host Header Names Feature
Note: this feature is not available in CMS 2002 Standard Edition
[Back to Top]
------------------------------------------
So....given that I AM using Standard edition for this project, what do
people suggest is the best way of getting to the homepage.
I don't want people to go to http://www.mysite.com/Channels/ , I want them
to go to http://www.mysite.com
I certainly don't want the massively unprofessional looking redirection to
/Channels.
My best thoughts so far are
a) ISAPI filter to server side redirect
b) Channel Script on "Channels" channel that uses Server.Transfer
Anyone with bright ideas? I see this issue as a missing core feature
personally - it's not unreasonable to expect that people can get straight to
http://www.mysite.com
cheers,
Paul
