Project and User/Organization Pages

[websemantics]

Hi and thank you for this project,

I had an issue with running the code on a Project Pages type Github repository, I also thought it would be easier for people to import from Bower / Node,

So here's an Npm/Bower package of your code slightly modified to support Project and User Org Pages

If it's a project pages site, then you have to use a custom domain in order for GitHub Pages to serve a custom 404 page. I talk a bit about how to set this up in the instructions with links to GitHub docs.

Thanks for your reply,

When I first used the code, I had all the url after the main domain, for example, https://username.github.io/repo/foo turned into query-string >> https://username.github.io?p=repo/foo, this didn't work well for Project Pages where the repo name should stay, .. I might be missing on something here,

You're right, but it's a moot point because you must use a custom domain for GitHub Pages to serve a custom 404 page for a Project Pages site, see here, and the custom domain won't have /repo at the beginning of the path.

I did a few tests this morning and it appears that GitHub Pages now serves a custom 404 page for Project Pages sites without using a custom domain (despite the docs still indicating the opposite). I'll reopen the issue and update the redirect scripts. Thanks for the heads up @websemantics.

Also, don't forget to include author cred along with my code in ghspa.js.

Fixed. Just set pathPrefix to true here and it will work with Project Pages sites not using a custom domain. Also updated the readme, so check that out for more info.

Let me know if you have any issues with this.

Just got confirmation from GitHub support that GitHub Pages now serves a custom 404 page for Project Pages sites without using a custom domain (GitHub docs are outdated and will be updated).

I never read the docs, ignorance -sometimes- is a bless hh

I already had a link to your repo in the original README.md and now clearly in ghspa.js,

The only added contribution I had was the switch between Project Pages and User/Org pages which your library now supports too,

I also had it packaged as Bower/Node package, and the setup/steps are slightly easier to follow (maybe),

• Include ghspa.js in index.html and 404.html
• Set the title of 404.html to 404
• Done,

If you could probably make it as such, I really don't need that repo,

Thanks @rafrex for the original contribution,

Oh, and a really fancy demo page which took way longer to build than writing code hhh
