Hi, I 'm implementing viewer.js on my website. I would like to know if it is possible to clean the url , so that it appears as friendly url . I've been testing with RewriteRule in htaccess but I can not do it. I guess it may be because the target file is not php I hope you can help Thanks and regards

Hello,

It is not possible. It is url-hash-based, The hash is a client element and cannot be set on the server even with url rewriting.

However, by cleverly naming your files and folders you can go a long way to making things more user friendly/shorter - using the same tactics as minifier scripts do. E.g. if your site is example com:

rename the folder "ViewerJS" to "V" so you can have the shortest possible reference
your file names are irrelevant to ViewerJS, so instead of "LongDocumentName.odt" you can just use "a.odt"

So that would leave you with URL's like:

https://example.com/V/?a.odt

Friendly enough?

OK. Thank you very much for the answers. I will change the name of folders and files, as Ieenaars says . Thanks again
