New format Downloads URLs
Posted on 4th March 2007, 20:00 by IBBoard
The Downloads section has had a behind-the-scenes makeover and now has a new format URL.
Instead of each download having a unique ID each download has an ID string, with later revisions changing the download version. Also included is the ability to list all versions of a given download.
As an example, the Dawn of War Texture Tool v1.7.4 is now at skins.hiveworldterra.co.uk/Downloads/detail_DawnOfWarTextureTool.html?version=1.7.4, while the latest version will always be available as skins.hiveworldterra.co.uk/Downloads/detail_DawnOfWarTextureTool.html. A full list of versions is available by going to skins.hiveworldterra.co.uk/Downloads/detail_DawnOfWarTextureTool.html?version=all.
Hopefully the new functionality will make it easier for people to navigate the site and identify what they're looking at. Things still need a bit of aesthetic tidying, but if you have any problems with the new URLs, please contact me.
