Permalinks »
FERDY CHRISTANT - JUN 2, 2004 (07:51:01 PM)
This week I plan to implement real permalinks for this blog. Right now, URLs look like this:
http://www.ferdychristant.com/apps/production/fdm.nsf/
vwBlogsByDate/34F9AF6C9EE4654FC1256EA600702178
Way too long and ugly, me thinks. I want to get rid of the file path part of the URL and use shorter IDs for entries. The last one is easy, the first one takes some more work, but by the end of the week, URLs should look like this:
http://www.ferdychristant.com/blogs/DOMV-5ZKP2Z
Once I have that fully working, there is no simple way to see that this blog runs on Domino anymore. Not that I specifically want that, but still. I plan to not implement it as an extra or optional way to link to specific documents, that would make them pointless. Instead, permalinks will be the only way to link to documents. This gives me structure and puts me out of trouble when I move the application to another directory or server. You may see some unstable behaviour while I implement it the next days. Bear with me. Implementation details will follow.
