Cloaked domain forwarding

Terry of Astoria 27 Jan 2008 23:09

The address bar in Firefox continues to display http://photobatch.stani.be/ after navigating away from the site using a link on the page, eg. the wikidot link at bottom. I have found that it's best to not "cloak" forwarded domains. One real drawback is a visitor can't properly bookmark any site navigated to by links from the main page. I bookmarked this forum and when I checked my bookmark, it took me to the main page url. This is not to mention that external site owners are not fond of having their site come up in an invisible frame with your domain name in the address bar on top. ;-) — Just part of the lameness of frames, I guess. A way around this is to specify the target of each and every link on the page, which I suppose can be done with CSS …
Just an observation, really. And probably a hasty one. What are the plans?
Aloha,
Terry

This is a temporary situation. At the moment all my time goes to developping Phatch as feature freeze for Hardy is coming very near. All what you see now of the websites and urls might be temporarily. The only thing which will remain for sure is: http://photobatch.stani.be So please be patient. Free a bit of my time (by writing docs, translating tutorial/docs, …), so I will have more time for working on the website. If you are involved in website design or django, I am always looking for help.
I hope to have a better website configuration when Hardy comes out.
