My website has out grown my skills.

My site http://www.pokerandlife has grown from a few pages to three hunderd pages okay 250 of those pages are still in my head.

Here is the problem everytime I add a page I have to change every page so the there would be links on every page to the new page not bad with 10 or less page. 50 forget so I am try to find a new way. I have figured it out in PHP and you can see that at http://www.pokerandlife.com/homet.php. Two problems with that first I can't get my image to show up not a big deal I am sure it can be fixed. Here is the bigger problem I have spent the last year and a half placing links, ads, and what ever else to get people to my site now if I change all my pages to .php instead of .htm I will loss all that. Any ideas on this?

Thanks

always learning today what I needed to know yesterday!

people will lose bookmarked pages, if you change all to php

what you can do, is create a menu page, and on all pages that have the menu, do a virtual include of it. then when you need to change the menu, you only need to change 1 page

What code do I need to do a virtual include

This is what I found and it will not work for me  I am using dreamweaver. It will show up on dreamweaver but will not show up on the site live. I am sure that the file is there and it is name correctly any ideas?

A really simple fix is to leave an index.html in place where everyones' bookmarks will find it, and then use a very simple redirect to your new site's mainpage.


<html>
<head>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
    window.location = "new url"

//-->
</script>
</head>
<html>

The worst anyone is going to see in their browser is a blank page flash for < 1 sec before the new main page loads. Usually it's seamless if they are on the same host.

[/code]

There are umpteen ways to redirect, but I found this little bit of code to be very reliable in any environment.

In case it is apache read the manual: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/misc/rewriteguide.html
The chapter you are interested in is "From Static to Dynamic"

in case it is a different webserver read the manual of that webserver.
