Dynamic content and URL names

[CherylChase]

I've just moved a website to FQ. The website has been in existence for several years, and is fairly visible, so there are links into our site many places on the web.

We are about to design in uniform navigation aids, and it seems like the way to do this is with server side includes or PHP. But each of these tehchniques requires that we change file names, and this will break any existing links into our site.

Suggestions?

Let me first start out by welcoming you to FutureQuest. For your problem there are many ways to attack this situation. I will outline some of the easier methods.

1.[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp]Create A Custom 404 page noting the link changes
2.[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp]Review your log files and email sites with old links
3.[nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp][nbsp]Replace the old pages with a redirect code to the appropriate new page.

I hope this gets you started in the right direction. If you need assistance we are here to help.
