Ok so I see that if I add the same code to the pages the are being linked the problem is fixed.

Still wondering if I could get a cleaner URL without the ” .cfm ” as a folder name.

Is there a fix to preserve parameters that are passed on the end of links throughout the site?

I see there is some discussion about forms but nothing on links….

thanks!

Thanks for sharing this script. It’s the only one of 3 that I’ve seen that I’ve been able to get working.

However I’d like to make my URL a bit easier on the eyes and fingers. I get this:

http://www.example.com/properties/details.cfm/ProductID/448

is there a way to get the details.cfm to read just details or better yet how about:

http://www.example.com/properties/ProductID/448

Thanks,

Eliot

Google seems to read “?” okay in URL, but to my understanding, page rank doesn’t flow too well from the main page to the sub-directory if there is ? in it?

I am interested in this too. I generally take the position that Google has “figured out” how to deal with the ‘?’. So I don’t *think* there is any SEO value either way any more. I think that once upon a time, the ? was considered dirty. But not really anymore.

BUT – I do think there is a user experience issue. And also, as mentioned above, there is the emailing issue. Also, I’ve seen issues submitting url’s with ? and & into certain bookmarking sites. It would still be nice to make it go away. Is this possible in CF?

Thx

what happens when someone copies the new url, sends it to a friend, and then the friend clicks the link? wouldn’t you need to reverse your logic in that situation in order for the url to work?

It has been a while since I wrote this and have not worked with cold fusion since. I wish I had made documentation. Sorry. I don’t work with that client any more and don’t have access to a coldfusion server to tetst.

Guys,

Sorry I might be asking the obvious here but am I supposed to add something else with this code for it to work? when I added this code to my application.cfm file it just gave me a flat 404 error.

I’m new to this so some guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
