Hey all,
I have a weird issue that's got me pretty stumped,
and I'm not sure I can do what the client is
asking, or at least not how I'm trying to do it.
I have a code base of my own I'm building sites
on, fully AJAX enabled so that once the site loads
it never fully refreshes a page, but AJAX runs
everything through JS to server calls for content,
updating only sections of the page only when
needed, say for like the small calendar in the
upper right corner when a new month is clicked.
The site is basically a CMS for school sports
teams to create their own pages, and the schools
are accessed via individual directories like
http://prepcube.com/wi/madison/
So I created the wi/madison/
...directory when the school signs up and placed a
file there that parses the URI to get the schools
"shortname", in this case "madison", and then sets
a session variables for school ID that allows the
user to access this school's data.
Then it redirects back to
http://prepcube.com/
...which of course loses the wi/madison portion of
the URL, thought the client wants this preserved
and to remain in the URL field.
And since this is a fully AJAX enables site, the
URL in the browser's URL field would never change
from
http://prepcube.com/wi/madison/
...which is something the client really likes.
So, my question is how would I do that, and I
strongly suspect if it's possible at all an
.htaccess file with the proper entries would be
the way to do it, not using PHP code to redirect
as I am now.
Is this the case?
Unfortunately, I must confess to not being
terribly familiar with htaccess files, I believe
this would be rewrite rules to rewrite the URL and
point it to the right place? But even with
htaccess rewrite rules could this be done to
preserve the full URL with state/school in the
browser's URL field?
Any advice, as always, is greatly appreciated.
Thanks globules!
