Site # Pages +REP

[iLogan]

Hiya guys,

I need some help (+REP of course!), you see how Habbox has like pages https://habbox.com/#/Home how do you make it so like /#/home generates home etc kinda hard to explain, any ideas?

You mean a redirect? So you type in www.habbox.com/home and it takes you to the URL www.habbox.com/#/home ?

EDIT: I don't think that's what you're on about lol, apologies if it's not I don't fully understand what you mean

[iJoe]

Do you mean like...

http://www.domain.com/anything_here_you_want/home

and it takes you to the home page?

If so it's done by making / editing your .htaccess file and putting in something like this

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^/([^/\.]+)/home/?$ /home.html [L]

Should work :s

I don't think the hash does anything at all, I've been typing in websites such as http://www.bt.com/#/ & http://www.youtube.com/#/. They all load the companies home pages!

Try it with yours if that's what your aiming for.

example: www.yourwebsiteurl.com/#/

I believe Habbox uses Ajax to load the pages in frames, But you could get the same effect by using PHPIncludes. (/index.php=home, /index.php=page etc)

Yeah, I think that's it, do you have any good tutorials on php includes?

I think he means using the GET argument to load the correct page. For example:

<?PHP
if (isset($_GET['action'])){
if ($_GET['action'] == 'aboutus'){
Echo "We are a company dedicated to providing you with quality food at affordable prices.";
}else if ($_GET['action'] == 'products'){
Echo "Our product range:";
}
}
?>

To view these, you would navigate to: PAGENAME.php?action=aboutus or PAGENAME.php?action=products .

I hope I've helped.

No, I ment PHPincludes.

Use the second method and you can dynamically choose which page to load using the doohickeys (Forgot their namess OK?!?!).

I think there's a good link for a JS one as well, I'll look for that also... brb.

Edit, found it, some reassembly required for it to work as you'd like:

The contents of the URL past the hashtag (#) don't get sent to the webserver, and are only client side. Because of this Habbox is able to detect changes in the URL past # dynamically by checking for a change 10 times a second and when one's detected we use AJAX (.load() in jQuery to be specific) to grab the specified page and stick the contents in a div.

Habbox.com/#/page/variable/value/variable2/value2

works out to be

page.php?variable=value&variable2=value2

If we used mod rewrite in lieu of our Javascript clean urls spinoff you would have to reload the webpage each time you click a link which would mean widgets like the Habbox Live radio player wouldn't work.

Habbox use our own self written functions to accomplish hashtag navigation, but there are jQuery plugins available if you wanted to use one of them:
