I am trying to achieve something like, that is on the below link.
http://www.laterooms.com/
This website is at the above URL.
But even if you type .co.uk or
.net or
.org Like this any Extension. The URL will be automatically redirected to
http://www.laterooms.com/
First of all, you should be in possession of the other domains (with the extensions you want). Then you can either use javascript to set top.location.href='http://your.address.com/' or use other means, like setting up your web server to redirect the requests, or your domain name registrar.
You can either use different techniques on server side to force a redirect, or you can send a page containing a redirect Refresh: 0; url=http://www.example.com/
Wikipedia has a good overview on this.
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5; URL=http://de.selfhtml.org/">
</head>
If you own/have possession of those other domains..
You could set forwarding (dns settings) for each of the domains you wish to redirect to the primary domain.
That would get you away from having to code a page for each one of those domains.
Much cleaner, and easier.
Assuming you own all the domains, and they all point to the same webserver, then this code should do it;
var href_parts = top.location.href.split('/');
if (href_parts[2] != 'www.laterooms.com') {
href_parts[2] = 'www.laterooms.com';
top.location.href = href_parts.join('/');
}
Basically -- have javascript test what domain you currently are on, and if not on the .com then update the URL and store it back into the location.href for the page which will automatically trigger a page-reload with the new URL.
The above code preserve the URL path within the domain, so if somebody types in
http://www.lateroom.co.uk/mypath/here
will redirect to
http://www.lateroom.com/mypath/here
If you don't want to preserve the path /mypath/here then the code will be sligthly simpler as you can just hardcode the destination path rather than using the join

I have created a JS file that I place in some webpages other than mine.
So mine is domain-1.com and I place this to domain-2.com and domain-3.com
This JS contains jsonp and I save some data from their pages to my database successfully. Also, I create some cookies and I save a value to the localstorage. the problem is that when a visitor goes to domain-2.com and tomorrow to www.domain-2.com they will have a different value because os the www.
I want this value to be the same across www. or not, maybe at the same time, I do not know an applicable idea. It is better for me to pass the value the same time for www. and without www.
How to do this?
I only provide them with a JS external link. It is ok If I place an iframe also.
The best solution would be to set a redirect to either of the domains so you can avoid this problem altogether.
The following code shows the concept of sending values to the non-www domain for storage only. If you need to read those values from the www domain too or want a library to do everything for you, you should use one of the libraries listed at the end. Those libraries use the same concept but will handle most things for you.
You can store the value on one domain only and use cross-origin communication to send the value if you are on the www domain. Create an iframe that loads a script of the non-www domain. In this script you save the value in the local storage of that domain.
Here is the content of the iframe with some minimal html5 markup, in this example saved as storage.html and served from example.com.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><head><meta charset="utf-8"><title> </title>
<script>
window.addEventListener("message", storeItem, false);
function storeItem(event) {
if (!(event.origin == "http://example.com" || event.origin == "http://www.example.com")) {
return;
}
localStorage.setItem(event.data.key, event.data.value);
}
</script>
</head></html>
When you want to store data use postMessage to communicate with the iframe. The iframe needs to be loaded before you can send messages.
<iframe id="storageScriptFrame"></iframe>
<script>
var target = "http://example.com";
var storageScriptFrame = document.getElementById("storageScriptFrame");
var storageScriptWindow = storageScriptFrame.contentWindow;
function storeItem(key, value) {
var message = {key: key, value: value};
storageScriptWindow.postMessage(message, target);
}
// you can store values after the iframe has loaded
storageScriptFrame.onload = function() {
storeItem("foo", "bar");
};
// replace this with actual page
storageScriptFrame.src = 'http://example.com/storage.html';
</script>
Make sure to replace the example.com domain with the actual domain. Checking the origin domain is important so other sites can't send you messages.
At some point you will also want to read those stored values. Depending on what you do with the stored values, you have two options.
If you don't need to interact with the main window, you can move the script that reads values into the iframe.
If you do need to get the value on the main window, use postMessage again to send values back.
The second option can get complicated though, because postMessage is asynchronous and only works one way. I would recommend to use an existing library to do this (you don't need the code above then).
Cross Domain Local Storage looks good and easy to use
localStorage-tools is another library for this task
For example if you Cross Domain Local Storage you simply need to follow the setup instructions and in the initCallback function you can call xdLocalStorage.getItem and xdLocalStorage.setItem to get and set items from the localstorage of example.com.
I figured out how to change url but can i change whole link. For example if user opens stackoverflow.com it will show him exmaple.com. This is the code i've used so far for chaning the URL only:
window.history.pushState(“object or string”, “Title”, “/new-url”);
This is impossible.
pushState allows you to update the local part of a URL so that you can provide a direct URL to a page that you have constructed piecemeal with JavaScript.
It doesn't let you pretend to be a different website, which would be a serious security risk (as it would make an effective phishing technique). That is why the specification expressly forbids it:
Compare the resulting parsed URL to the result of applying the URL parser algorithm to the document's address. If any component of these two URLs differ other than the path, query, and fragment components, then throw a SecurityError exception and abort these steps.

Ok. This might have been asked several times but my problem is slightly different. I have following page tab in my facebook application:
Facebook Page Tab
This facebook page tab has my website embedded as iframe into it. What I want is that is to get the URL of current page inside my application.
For example, if you open above link you see facebook URL in your browser(obviously) address bar. In my iframe I just want to retrieve the URL of the parent page in which it is embedded.
I know same-origin policies in Javascript don't allow playing with cross-domain parent page's markup using javascript but I just want to retrieve the parent page URL, thats it.
Is that possible in ANY way?
Any way to access the address bar URL in my PHP application?
Thanks.
You probably don’t need the “actual URL”, but only the page id, I assume …? That you can get by decoding the signed_request parameter that gets POSTed to your app on initial load into the iframe.
How to “decode” it is described here, https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/using-login-with-games#parsingsr
If you’re using the PHP SDK, that has a method already that does this for you.
You can use this to access it in JavaScript:
top.location.href
"top" is better than "parent". Because if your iframe is itself in another iframe then parent will return that iframe's location. "top" will return the highest location.
This will be a tough one, because CORS forbids to access the outside frame:
The referrer doesn't help very much either.
If you want to use the signed_request, and want to send custom data/parameters to your app, have a look at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs#integrating
You can then fill the app_data parameter, and decode that in your app.
Try one of these:
parent.document.location
parent.window.document.location
parent.window.location
parent.document.location.href
I'm not sure if this will work on facebook though
I currently have the following JavaScript function that will take current URL and concatenate it to another site URL to route it to the appropriate feedback group:
function sendFeedback() {
url = window.location.href;
newwin = window.open('http://www.anothersite.com/home/feedback/?s=' + url, 'Feedback');
}
Not sure if this is the proper terminology, but I want to mask the URL in the window.open statement to use the URL from the current window.
How would I be able to mask the window.open URL with the original in JavaScript?
Things you could do:
1- Mask the external site in a html frame inside a document from your site.
(for example www.mysite.com/shortUrl/)
2-Send a Location HTTP header (real url will eventually be displayed)
Keep in mind that browsers do their best to show the real address due to phishing concerns.
I wouldn't use javascript if I wanted to mask url even thought it would work with javascript. You wouldn't get much benefits in that scenario.
The reason is simple:
javascript/jQuery = functions belongs to client-side (browswer/your PC/DOM)
links, url, http, and headers = functions belongs to Apache.
Apache is always top level above client-side. Whenever link is fired to SampeLink.html, Apache wakes up and reads the file, but links/urls are already owned before javascript could claim them. So, it is kinda of pointless if you tried to manipulate links in your javascript scripts, even though it works but weak.
I'd point you to this awesome approach: .htaccess and you will be surprised how powerful it is. If .htaccess is presented in the parent folder of SampleLink.html, Apache denies the DOM engine (your browser) from reading files until Apache have finished reading .htaccess.
With your scenario, .htaccess can do some work for you by rewriting links and send "decoy" links to the DOM engine, meanwhile keeping the orginial links/urls behind the curtain; and visitors would reach to 404page if they tried to break the app or whatever you are concerned about.
This is a bit complicated, but it never ceased to fail me. I use this as my "bible" http://corz.org/serv/tricks/htaccess2.php.
