My feeling is that #2 isn't going to work. You may be able to set it up with an external redirect, but I think trying to hide the URL will make Fusion break as relative paths, etc will blow up.<div><br></div><div>There are other ways around this, such as creating your template under the /gis folder and adjusting the paths, hard-coding your application-definition (I think Fusion still looks for ApplicationDefinition.xml in the template folder). A bit of work though, and you lose the flexibility of being able to change the application on the fly. You could also look at embedding the map in an iFrame or something similar?</div>

<br>
I'm trying to rewrite URLs in Apache through mod_rewrite extension, in<br>
orderto:<br>
<br>
1. Shorten and simplify links to maps;<br>
2. Hide real URLs to users.<br>
<br>
My thought was to point to something like:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.somesite.com/gis" target="_blank">http://www.somesite.com/gis</a><br>
<br>
and going directly to:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.somesite.com/mapguide/fusion/template/mapguide/slate/index.html?ApplicationDefinition=Library://SomeFolder/SomeFlexibleLayout.ApplicationDefinition" target="_blank">http://www.somesite.com/mapguide/fusion/template/mapguide/slate/index.html?ApplicationDefinition=Library://SomeFolder/SomeFlexibleLayout.ApplicationDefinition</a><br>
<br>
No matter how long/hard I tried, I didn't succed in it<br>
<br>
My best result was editing httpd.conf and adding after<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
this:<br>
<br>
RewriteEngine on<br>
RewriteBase /mapguide/<br>
RewriteRule ^gis<br>
fusion/template/mapguide/slate/index.html?ApplicationDefinition=Library://SomeFolder/SomeFlexibleLayout.ApplicationDefinition<br>
<br>
This way it redirects but didn't load anything (blank white page, although I<br>
can read "slate" in my tab name)<br>
<br>
Any help is really appreciated.<br>
