Anybody have experience using SWFAddress? I've seen the tutorials for creating a very basic site with a Portfolio, Contact, etc. But I need to take this farther.
I'm making a site for some web forum events. It has a tab for the various weeks of upcoming events. Then after the week is over, the recording of the events for that week move over to the Archive tab. There is also an Exhibit hall of various "vendors." For all three tabs there is a data grid or combolist that lets the user select various groups to view — they can see a stub, truncated preview. They can click on those stubs to open up more information.
So I'm trying to figure out how to handle the URLs and the parameters that will allow the users to bookmark and/or share specific events, weeks, exhibitors, etc.
I'm thinking of setting up my urls something like:
MySite.org/page.html#/home
MySite.org/page.html#/events?forum=dateofforum&sort=date
MySite.org/page.html#/events?forum=dateofforum&sort=date&event=eventID
and so on. One of the tricks is that if the user bookmarks a specific event before it happens, but then wants to come back to it after it has happend I need to change
MySite.org/page.html#/events?forum=somePastDate&event=eventID
to
MySite.org/page.html#archive?forum=somePastDate&event=eventID
I guess that shouldn't be too hard.
Does anybody have experience doing these kind of things? Any tips or tricks?
