Unlimited Sub-Category by 404 error code or Tricks

Dear All,

I have site with asp and access database. It is possible way to make unlimited category with access database using Asp ? like in Joomla. I see many site is using Only Query string.

Investment.asp?cat=tourism - for main sub directory
investment.asp?cat=tourism&id=overview


it is possible to make statistic url rewrite for directory and sub? using simple method 404 custom error coding .. our sample design :


Investment = Main Directory

1-Investment/tourism/, In tourism we have 3 related record:

1-1-investment/tourism/overview
1-2-investment/tourism/statistic
1-3-investment/tourism/hotels
1-3-1-investment/tourism/hotels/phno-penh/
1-3-1-investment/tourism/hotels/phno-penh/

and Other sub category have the same sub category related record

Please suggest what should i do to resolve the above solution?

Thanks,

Yes. The problem with using 404 error coding to rewrite url's is that relative paths will not work. E.g: if you have an image in a page that has a src of "images/img.jpg", the page will not find the file because it will be looking for "investment/tourism/overview/images/img.jpg". The way around this is to use absolute urls for all references within your page e.g:
<img src="http://www.mydomain.com.au/images/img.jpg" />
The same applies to links, stylesheets, javascripts etc.
If you do not mind doing this then using a custom 404 error page is definately a possible solution.

 

Not sure why you'd want to use 404?

Depending on which version of IIS your using you can do the rewriting via .htaccess or ISAPI etc

 

Asp 404 error code is free to use. However, There is less knowledge and tips about this trick
