getURL, modify and got to modified URL

[kylebellamy]

For some reason, I can't find a lot of info beyond getting the URL in javascript so I've come back to the best place I know to see if anyone has some code ideas.

I need to create a script that takes the URL from the browser:

https://extranet.website.com/etc.../etc...

(the rest of the url needs to remain the same)

and changes it to:

https://extranetpub.website.com:1443/etc.../etc...

The resulting URL is then put back into the browser address bar.

This is for a Content Management Server I work on. The first address is the client view of the site and the second is my editing view.

Any ideas as to how this might be done?

What have you tried so far? I'll provide some hints for you.

You can get the url via

location.href

Use this to get the current url replace what you need to using regex or some other method.

Finally forward the url to just edited using something like

location.href="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.google.com"[/URL]

Well, getting the URL seems to be fairly simple but I can't figure out how to modify it. In this case, there are some 20,000 pages published and a bunch more that are only available in publisher view as they are in progress.

When I get an address from a client it is always using the

https://extranet.website.com

format. I'm guessing I need to add a variable that replaces the first part of the URL with the new string

https://extranetpub.website.com:1443

to be sent back to the browser address bar.

That's where I'm lost. *laughing*

This is horrible, but....

location.href = window.location.protocol + "//" + window.location.hostname.replace('extranet', 'extranetpub') + ":1443" + window.location.pathname + window.location.search;

Please don't judge me, haha.

what have you tried so far?

str = location.href;
str = str.replace(/google/,"yahoo");

 

[Ascalonian]

I am ashamed... just do this:

location.href = window.location.href.replace(window.location.host, "extranetpub.website.com:1443");

Actually, I was trying something like what MikeyJudd has above.

This may seem insane but I wanted to use it in conjunction with the info from this site:

I just noticed that I can't link to a JS file so this may be an exercise in futility. *sighs*

This would probably best be done server-side with redirects. That would avoid downloading the page to the client computer, then making another request to the server to the redirected page. It would all be invisible to the client computer, too.

Since it is, for the most part, going to be used on an in-house intranet, would that make much of a difference?
