When someone enters https://hackerpublicradio.org/hosts/ken_fallon the site should redirect to https://hackerpublicradio.org/correspondents/0030.html

Interesting!

I happened to be looking for a host yesterday and wondered how we could improve on what I was doing:

  • finding the Hosts link on the main menu (About → Hosts)
  • finding the person's name (using Ctrl-F)
  • clicking on the host id number link

This will require a database query I'm assuming, and it would be great if there was a means of searching with a partial name or a regular expression. That implies that if the query was too vague you'd need to say so, and ask for a more specific search.

We could have it done via the static site that ./hosts/ken_fallon/index.html is a copy of ./correspondents/0030.html

Or via the static site where ./hosts/ken_fallon/index.html redirects to ./correspondents/0030.html using a <meta http-equiv="refresh" as described https://www.w3docs.com/snippets/html/how-to-redirect-a-web-page-in-html.html

Or to start off at least, to redirect via ModRewrite anything that goes to .hosts/ to a php page on the hub server, that would then do a redirect dynamically.
