Hi Dreamweavers!

I‘m not quite sure how to explain it, but I want to do the following:

For example, when someone types ‘apples’ I want my site to go to domain.com/apples, or when someones types ‘bananas’ I want the site to go to domain.com/bananas.

I don’t know if this is even possible, I tried looking for it on the internet, but I couldn’t quite figure out how to phrase the issue.

If it is possible, I would love to learn how. If it’s not, I’d like to know too, then I can stop thinking about it.

Thanks people!

Not sure what you want to do. If I type 'rubbish' where do you want the site to go?

Wappler, the only real Dreamweaver alternative.

Then I would like the site to go to domain.com/rubbish. So basically each input should have it’s own result. It’s so a company can enter their company name and then the site shows a specific page for them.

You can do that. I'm assuming the specific company pages are all housed on your website. See code below.

For testing make a page called adobe_dreamweaver.html (this is a company page - use underscores between words in a url, its good practice to do so) then use the below code for the search code.....this search code can go in any page you want. If a company name match is found the company page will open, if a match is not found an error page will appear, you will need to set a default error page up on you server, if there isnt already one.

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Search company name</title>

crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

$(document).ready(function(){

$('.search_company_name').css('cursor' , 'pointer').click(function(){

let company_name = $('.company_name').val();

company_name = company_name.replace(/\s+/g, '_');

company_name = company_name.toLowerCase();

window.location = company_name + '.html';

});

</script>

</head>

<body>

</body>

</html>

I added the code. But how (where) do I add the company names and results?

As I said you would make a page for each company, for example abobe_dreamweaver.html and insert the results for Adobe Dreamweaver in that page. If someone enters Adobe Dreamweaver in the search box they will get taken to adobe_dreamweaver.html

Also as I said this assumes that the results pages are in your complete control and youre not trying to search for a random Company Results pages outside of your website.

I do have one more question concerning this topic.

What if I want to password protect each of the resulting company pages by a different password?

Unless you are using php, a server language, then you're probably best advised to create a seperate folder for each company with the company name like:

adobe_dreamwever

Inside the adobe_dreamwever folder create an index.html page and insert the results for the company Adobe Dreamweaver in the index.html file

Then change the last line of the script to:

window.location = company_name + '/index.html';

To password protect the folder you can do that through your online websites control panel. Most control panels will allow you to password protect folders. I think that may work, although I havent tried it.

Of course if you ARE using php, a server language, all this would be done using a database to store the company name and results, password and you could produce a much nicer user interface than what you get by just password protection of a folder via the control panel.

Would I also need MySQL for that? Or is there another option?

You only need to use MySql, which queries a database for data, if you are using php, other database languages and server languages are available but I dont know much about them.
