    Default sharing link to sub-page without showing true URL

    Looking for a way to give out a short-cut link to a sub-page without showing the true website or page URL address.

    Let's say my Hosting account is at... http://mysite.net
    I have a dedicated folder for a small event... /meeting
    That event has it's domain name... www.meeting.com
    There is a sub-page for the agenda.
    And there is a sub-sub-page for a project report, we want people to review in advance.

    So, the real URL is... http://mysite.net/meeting/agenda/report.html

    People would normally be given the www.meeting.com domain name to go to.
    Then advised to click on the Agenda page, then scroll down and click on the Report button.
    And when done, they can click Home (or such) to get back up to the Meeting page.

    Key is --> all the time they are seeing the http://meeting.com domain name, not the true URL data including my hosting account name.


    Looking for a way to create a (short) URL that will take people right to the Report page, without showing the full URL and Mysite.Net domain.
    ...hoping they would only see the Meeting.Com domain when they get there
    ...plus when they click Home, they only see the Meeting.Com domain


    The Page buttons in Xara tend to link to the real URL, so if people go to a true sub--page URL they see the folder and such, and when they go back to the home, they see the true URL as well.

    Have tried various 'tiny URL' link options, but all end up showing the true long strung out URL including the Mysite.Net portion, which I do not want them to see.


    Not exactly a Xara feature option, but hoping folks using Xara with various sub-pages have figured this out and can share


    thanks in advance,
    Frolin

    Thumbs down Re: sharing link to sub-page without showing true URL

    Frolin, right off, this is a bad idea.
    If it could be done I would have people click a nice bank link, they see the bank and it's bad me stealing their cash.

    To use http://meeting.com, you need to own the domain. That is the simplest answer.

    You can only use:
    <script>
    window.history.replaceState(null, null, '../meeting.com/agenda');
    </script>
    up to the level of your domain.

    All Links go to real URLs: Nice Bank Link.
