Replace an URL with URL that equals to it

So, I would like to know how to replace an URL with another URL that equals to it.
Example like this:

Code:

var links = {
insane:'crazy',
test:'testing'
};

So the script would replace the URL. Like, if we typed [ic]urltotheforum.forumotion.com/insane[/ic] then the script would replace the URL into [ic]urltotheforum.forumotion.com/crazy[/ic].

Thank yu.

It's not possible to do URL rewriting (like you can on an Apache server using .htaccess). There are ways to load a new page through JavaScript, but you can't link to an invalid page or the JS won't work.

So is there another way to write it? ANY other way.

Basically, if you want, for example, "/t41235-" to redirect to "/t1234-", then yes, that's possible, but I am afraid that what you have in mind isn't.

Oh, yes, that's what I need. Could you give me some instruction? Thank you very much.

Sure, you can definitely do that. But it has to be a real URL already on the forum.

Code:

var redirects = {
"t1234": "t2314-",
"t123": "t1-"
};

for (var to in redirects) {
    if (window.location.pathname.indexOf(to) === 1) window.location.pathname = redirects[to];
}

It should work. I haven't worked with JavaScript for some time, but it should be right.

Right, thank you! I'll test it in a minute.

You can put change the URL of an address without server side re-writing but you can change where a link on the page sends you:
(Ugly JQuery example to show what I mean)

Code:

[panda=js]$('a[href="/crazy").click(function(e){ e.preventDefault(); window.location = 'new location' });

If this is okay for you I can write something more complete.

Ah, right. I've forgotten that I can write something easy like that lol, JK. But of course, it just might work if the link was clicked, ex like an URL bbcode. So, if that's not a problem for you: can you write more complete code? Thank you so much. ^^
