SiteParam
AdvanCode SiteParam is an ISAPI
filter used for parameterized sites under IIS, without explicit creation of
folders for user accounts.
Usually, user account information is kept in a database and a
folder is created for every user to access its personal account.
For instance, user site URL is something like this:
http://www.company_site.com/User_Name
(1)
In this case a folder is created for every person just to point
to some parameterized pages.
Other option is to have a parameterized page as:
http://www.company_site.com/page.asp?id=User_Name
(2)
This solution is too long to type or memorize, because you have
to remember the name of the page (page.asp) and parameter name
(here "id"). With wrong values you won't get the site.
AdvanCode SiteParam solves intelligently this
problem (2), mapping an inexistent folder to a parameterized page.
Using it, you don't have to create folders for user accounts,
but still can access their sites as a normal folder (1). Also,
it allows you to change page name and parameter name to be used
for this mapping or you can select to hide all this process using
a frame.
With AdvanCode SiteParam you can develop only
some general available pages fully customizable based on values
kept in a database. These values could be used to create a personalized
page for every user, without separate folders for easy access.
