Advanced: How to get rid of the www.poppydog.com URL

If when you view the tool web pages, you see that the URL in the address bar of the browser is of the form http://www.poppydog.com and it really bothers you to see www.poppydog.com instead of www.yourwebsite.com, then fear not, this is how you can get rid of it. The trick is to use a frameset. Lets say that you have some forum boards, and the URL that we give you for your forum boards is

http://www.poppydog.com/forum/boardMap.do?tiid=....

Somewhere on your web site, you will create a link to the forum boards using the URL we give you (above). When a visitor clicks on this link, they will be taken to your forum boards, and the URL given above appears in the browser address bar. The URL will of the form www.poppydog.com. To change this URL to the form www.yourwebsite.com etc you can take the following steps.

Example using forum boards

Create a web page on your web site which contains the following HTML (a frameset to be precise)

  1. <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>FORUM BOARDS</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <FRAMESET rows="100%" border=0 frameborder="0" frameborder="no" framespacing=0>
    <FRAME src="http://www.poppydog.com/forum/boardMap.do?tiid=.....">
    </FRAMESET>
    <NOFRAMES></NOFRAMES>
    </HTML>

  2. In the above html, on the line <FRAME src="http://www.poppydog.com/forum/boardMap.do?tiid=....."> you must replace the highlighted URL with the URL that we give you to use for your forum boards

  3. Lets say that the URL for the web page you've just created is

    http://www.yourwebsite.com/forums.html

    You must now replace any links to your forum boards with a link that points to the new web page that you have just created above i.e. a link with the URL: http://www.yourwebsite.com/forums.html

Another example using a survey

  1. Create a web page on your web site which contains the following HTML

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>SURVEY</TITLE>
    </HEAD>
    <FRAMESET rows="100%" border=0 frameborder="0" frameborder="no" framespacing=0>
    <FRAME src="http://www.poppydog.com/survey.do?tiid=.....">
    </FRAMESET>
    <NOFRAMES></NOFRAMES>
    </HTML>

  2. Replace the highlighted URL with the URL that we give you for your survey

  3. Lets say that the URL for the web page you've just created is

    http://www.yourwebsite.com/survey.html

    You must now replace any links to your survey with a link that points to the new web page that you have just created above i.e. a link with the URL: http://www.yourwebsite.com/survey.html
