Web Site Redirection Rule

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

Goal:

Users type in MyDominoApp (internal app) in the URL.

They go to http://MyDomain.com/path/main.nsf/Myform?OpenForm

What I did:

Web Site Doc -

Home URL: http://MyDomain.com/path/main.nsf

Web Site Rule -

Redirect

Incoming URL pattern: MyDominoApp/

Redirect to this URL: /Myform?Openform

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Try this:

Create a substitution rule. I call it “base href”

Type of rule: Substitution

Incoming URL pattern: /*

Replacement pattern: path/main.nsf/*

Then, create a blank navigator called “index.html”.

Set the DB Launch preferences to launch this Navigator in it’s own window (make it the home page).

Now, rename your MyForm to the following:

MyForm|$$NavigatorTemplate for index.html|myform

Thanks so much for your quick response. I will give it a try.

Do I need to change the Home URL on the web site doc?

Hi Chris,

Thanks again for your post. I’ve done as you suggested with the index.html and $$Nav but still cannot get it to work.

I followed example 3 from this tech article

which seems to be what I want.

Web Site Doc -

Home URL: /path/main.nsf

Web Site Rule -

Type: Substitution

Incoming: /MyDominoApp/*

Replacement: path/main.nsf/*

Please help. Thanks in advance.
