Hello all-
I am trying to optimize my sites for search engines. I
presently have SES URLs like this:
generatenew.cfm/brand/2/collection/0
I would like to use keywords in my URLs instead of numbers.
Each brand and collection has a name assigned to it obviously, for
example, brandid 3="fortis" which possesses various collections
also with names. I would like my URL to look like this:
generatenew.cfm/brand/fortis/collection/*collectionname*
I have tried to do part of this within application.cfm where
I have set up a <cfif> clause that evaluates what the text in
URL.Brand is and then uses <cflocation> to assign a new web
address. This works fine, however, I would like to dynamically
generate the whole thing. Presently, I have to manually list each
brand and its variable key equivalent in application.cfm. In
addition, there are so many brands that it would take a lot of
space to list them all in application.cfm. All these brands and
collections already exist in my Access database so isn't there a
way to pass my variables as text and then have that converted to a
number within my page generatenew.cfm?
Feel free to look at my page to see what I mean:
http://www.backintimeintl.com/generatenew.cfm/brand/3/collection/0
or
http://www.backintimeintl.com/generatenew.cfm/brand/fortis/collection/0
I really appreciate the help.
-Chris
