How to not show page

Hi,

does anybody know how to not show a webpage from the url, if I don't want to use that page.

Thanks

Could you explain that in a little more detail?  It's not clear what you want to do.

well, let's say that on my site, i don't want to use all of the dolphin pages.

Like maybe the contact page or the search page, or the browse page....

If someone types the url  example: www.mysite.com/browse.php    they will see that page.

I don't really want that... is it possible to delete or hide those pages ( from the url )

Thanks for your reply

use an .htaccess file (google it) or rename them without a php extension.

What I do is rename the actual file such as:

filename.php

filename.php.ORG.xxxxxxx

The ORG stands for original and the xxxxxx being whatever you want to name it so

no one can 'guess' it.

The method to my madness is that the filename is still there as the original name if

I need to restore it later but anyone would have a VERY hard time guessing it.

Or you could also just rename it such as:

filename.php. xxxxxxxx

This would also give them a 404 not found error if they try to type the URL straight

into the browser.

You still need to remove it in the admin panel as well to make the navigation dissappear.

HTH

Try this solution :

Add these lines below at the top of your inc/header.inc.php just below this string <?

$disabledpages[] = "faq.php";
$disabledpages[] = "about_us.php";
//--- add more here
foreach($disabledpages as $key => $value )
{
if ( strpos("EXPERTX".$_SERVER[REQUEST_URI],$value) > 0 )
{
header("Location: index.php");
break;
}
}

That is awesome dolphinbugfixing !

Cool, I gotta bookmark this one..

Thank you !

Shouldn't the "EXPERTX" be changed to the users account name?

.

its a dummy text just to make sure the strpos function returns a value greater than 0

Aaaaaaahh OK I get it now.

Thanks I didn't look close enough LOL!
