web.config 301 redirect

We have a number of pages that are set up for 301 redirects. Easy peasy.

However, I want to set up a page with a variable string to redirect. Example:

"/Fax-Order-Online.aspx?Store=524"

Currently, <add key="/Fax-Order-Online.aspx" value="Find-Location.aspx" /> only redirects that exact URL.

How do I tell web.config to redirect the "/Fax-Order-Online.aspx" URL with any string on the end?

can anyone reccomend a streaming FLV player?

one that is preferrably able to play FLV’s with an alpha channel

Strobe Media Playback is what I typically use

Not sure about the alpha channel item but flowplayer.org has some streaming plugins to go along with it.

Jwplayer is well known and supports alpha.
Most of the players on activeden support alpha or provide you with the fla to open the alpha channel.

If you run into any trouble, send me a pm.

vB experts

Helping someone transfer a huge forum from a crappy old ASP app to vB.

We set up a test site, got all the themes etc working, and imported an old backup of the ASP forum using Impex etc… now we want to import the current (last night’s backup) database from the old forum, and when Impex imports, it craps itself because there’s already existing stuff in the new forum.

It doubles up users, messes up forums, etc.

What’s the easiest way to COMPLETELY clean out the new vB site, without touching the styles, pages, config, etc… just nuke users, forums, threads and posts… in a clean way so Impex thinks it’s an empty forum to re-import everything from scratch.

Live webcam suggestions

I have a client that wants to do 3 live webcams for her dog daycare business. Anybody have a recommendation for hardware and streaming service?

You wont want to go with a streaming service because streaming 3 cameras 40 hours a week will cost you a fortune.
You have a few options…
- Non live stream, a simple capture and upload every few minutes will usually suffice most situations.

The choice of cameras may make it simple or difficult to get the stream going.

Woah, thanks looking at this now.

Nothing surprising, a russian? forum, an electronic store, a plastic surgery site since 1997, a military software company, a dog site, and a person’s business profile site.
