Advanced: How to get rid of the www.poppydog.com URL
For specific details on how to do this with the Password Protector go here
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)
-
<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>
- 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
- 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
- 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>
- Replace the highlighted URL with the URL that we give you for your survey
- 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
Trick with the Password Protector
On the Password Protecter Url/Code Paste page there is a section at the bottom called 'Additional Security'. Under that section we provide special javascript that you can insert into the page that you are protecting. If you do this you can in fact link directly to the protected web pages in the normal way using the real web page url i.e. you dont have to use the http://www.poppydog.com/pp/login.do?tiid=.. url that we give you further up on that page.
Note: you need to carry out the indicated Initial Setup first before seeing the JavaScript.
