Frame forwarding
- Thread starter knorde
- Start date
Its a terrable idea for most people if I think what you are saying is what you want. You are talking about a invisable frame so that the URL is always the domain?
If you want to have new users created with this you could design the code and put it in the default folder so that all new domains have this setup. The problem is that most users want search engines and other non-frame complient devices able to communicate with their sites.

now when you make a redirect from the advanched options menu it only forwards to the ip/http address what you have filled in.
so when www.da.com redirects to http://lycos.nl/lalala you will still see the lycos url in your address bar when you point your browser to www.da.com.
What he (and i) want is a redirect to the http://lycos.nl/lalala url(as example) but the domain name da.com must stay in the adressbar.
But if you do a frame forward the url stays always the same. is it possible to forward and make the url also show the pages?
e.g. www.da.com/page.html.

Even if its a terrible idea for most people.. there still can be a function for it in DA. The people who need it can use it.. the others simple ignore it and don't use it...existenz said:

But DirectAdmin is not like all the other control panel. It takes a few minutes with the current system to make a skin with a link and drop frame forward for the few users in the default folder. DA should not hold you hand through everything IMO.

No, DirectAdmin is not like all other control panels.
However, it sells in a market, against all other control panels.
Plesk offers frame-based forwards. Therefore DA should.
Why? So we can get those Plesk-based customers over to us
.
Here's an example of what we've done, and how we've done it:
Note that this is specifically NOT any kind of advertisement; I hope you're paying a good deal less than what we charge for domains at this particular website:
This is simply an example...
We sell domains at our url "http://domains.nobaloney.net/".
There are three files in the public_html directory; the standard index.html and logo files created when DA created the site, and the .htaccess file created when we used the DA site-redirection command.
Here's the link you'll be redirected to if you visit "http://domains.nobaloney.net/":
https://secure.ezsecureusa.com/nobaloney/domains
(Note the redirection to a secure site; that's a side feature of redirection; you can use it to force your visitors to your secure site.)
We do the redirection because our domains site uses our sitewide secure cert which we also make available to our hosting clients who want to use our shared cert (they get their own subdirectory at secure.ezsecureusa.com).
But the site at "https://secure.ezsecureusa.com/nobaloney/domains" isn't really a site either; it's actually a frame forward to:
https://secure.registerapi.com/order/register/check.php?siteid=9971
which is hosted at Dotster, and which is not really the URL we want our clients to see.
But because DA doesn't do Frame Forwarding, we had to do it ourselves; here's the contents of our index.html file in the /nobaloney/domains path of the private_html subdirectory of secure.ezsecureusa.com:
This is what would be easier if DA included Frame Forwarding .
And while I'm add it, can I ask for Site Aliasing as well ?
(Site Aliasing would allow us to have two sites pointing to the same DocumentRoot; it can be done either by creating a new container file, or a new ServerAlias directive inside the existing container file.)

I have ask this a long time ago and i will try it one more time 
Is it possible to make a option at the site redirection page frame forwarding? So you can see the domain in the adresbar and not the destenation adres?
Sorry for my bad english but this is a very nice option if it is there...
Greetings Knorde...

As far as I know you can't, perhaps a requested feature. With menu whether or not you want it stealth.
Also recursive directory stealth so that the url also updates with the stealth url as your surf it the website continuing to give you the illusion that your on one address when your really not.
This is a standard feature with most dns services so it should be an option.

[FEATURE REQUEST] Domein web/mail (frame) forwarding
I think directadmin would improve their product a lot if they add (frame) forwarding to Directadmin. A lot of webhosting providers have customers that just want a domain name and forwarded to home.isp.com/user/.
Also it would be nice if the also support frame forwarding (cloaked). The domain name stays visible in the adressbar. And with frame forwarding its also nice if people can change their meta tags and page title.
Of course e-mail forwarding must be included.
I hope the people of Directadmin will consider this option. Since its not a lot of work to create these functions and it adds a lot to their product.
yours sincerely,
Coen

Hello there!
So many years from the last post on this thread.
May I ask if frame forwarding option is implemented in DirectAdmin, as I don't see it within the user interface of my control panel.
I am in a deadline, as I need to have DNS Zone and frame forwarding simultaneously on two domain names, which is something that my current registrar is not supporting. He can support either DNS Zone or Frame Forwarding, because the DNS Servers for these services are different!
I would like have an official reply, if possible. Thanks a lot in advance for your time.
Best regards,
Angelos Pitsos

It's not implemented.
I've seen a plugin for that some time ago on these forums. You might want to find and use it.
