Changing URL parameters

[divingdave]

Hi there,

I use both the PHP and ASP versions for different client sites and I (and my clients) are extremely happy with the software. It's very good value and I really like all the customisable elements of it.

There is one thing I'd like to change, and that's the search parameters that are displayed in the URL. I'd like to be able to change them to something shorter (or whatever I want). For example I'd like to use 'search.asp?q=something' instead of 'search.asp?zoom_query=something'. The same goes for all the other parameters, that all have 'zoom_' before them.

I did a search on this and in another post you said:

In the PHP, ASP & Javascript versions of the search script you can customize the parameters names to whatever you want. But as you point out, you can't do this with the CGI (as it is compiled code).

I can't find how to do this. I realise I could manually go through all the code and change them one by one , but I wondered if there was a quicker way to do this please? Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Yes, the only solution at the moment is to go through all the code and change them. Most good text editors have a global search and replace function which might help.
