Custom URI question
Development and Programming
I have a bit of an odd question.
I’m currently building a site that will load pages via ajax, and I want these pages to be indexable by search engine as described here: http://ajax.rswebanalytics.com/seo_for_ajax/#!technical_overview
To do this, I planned to use the pages module to customize my URIs for each page to be www.sitename.com/?escaped_fragment=nameofpage
The “?escaped_fragment=” is a necessary fragment, but it seems to be giving the pages module trouble, and I’m getting a 404 error. Is there any way I can get pages to be recognized when they start with this phrase?
I’m using EE v2.2.2 and pages module 2.2
Hi carasin,
What you are trying to do here is quite a custom URL and as such wouldn’t be supported by ExpressionEngine as it is made to work in a certain way and if you decide you want to ‘push the boundaries’ as it were then we would need to move this post into the Development & Programming forums to see if other users can perhaps lend an eye to what you’re trying to do here.
Would you like me to move the post for you?
Thanks.

Yep, that sounds good. Sorry about the wrong forum.

No problem at all. I’ll move this on over for you now.

I reworded my question a bit more intelligently, you can remove this thread.
Hi carasin,
We don’t normally delete whole threads. I’m going to leave this post here in case any of our users can possibly lend a hand on this one.
Cheers,

@carasin Did you ever come up with a solution for this? I searched the forums here, looked for modules on devot-ee.com and googled but have found nothing so far. EE would make a great back end for a single page AJAX site, so I’m a bit surprised there’s nothing out there.
I am hoping you had some luck?
UPDATE I found this http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7021434/how-to-redirect-url-to-another which should do the trick.
