How to customize /#/ in Jquery address plugin

Question

Hi,

I'm using the Jquery plugin Address to achieve deep linking.

The generated urls come out in the format www.example.com/#/tab/image, but what I need is www.example.com/#tab/image. The plugin seems to automatically generate the /#/ part.

I wonder does anyone know how to do this? Or even if it's possible?

I would greatly appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Looking at the documentation, I looks like you can do this:

$('a').address(function() {  
     return $(this).attr('href').replace(/#\//, '#');  
});

This will replace #/ with #.

There is a plugin setting called "strict mode" that enforces the additional slash that you want to remove. You can do it in two ways:

1. Include the script with an additional parameter:

2. Call an API method

   $.address.strict(false);
