SEO friendly page system for v 2.0 Topic is solved

[kendo451]

If we want CMSMS to become number 1 content management system for web developers, we need to address the problem of SEO-friendly URLs for modules.

For news, articles, and CompanyDirectory and other modules the current system passes crucial variables such as Return_pageID, item_ID, detail template, etc through variables in the URL string.

One way to eliminate these variables would be to create a table that indexes item ID to page name, and also includes columns for things like detail template, etc.  This system would require unique article names, and article names with no illegal characters.  Something like this:

Table
ContentID    Name              DetailTemplate
2343          some-article    article-pages

Since a page could be called from several possible places, the ReturnURL could be passed via a cookie, or it could simply be pulled from the DOM as the previous page.

If you standardize this then all modules can use the same table.
