SEF News URLs?

[toolman]

Hi there,

Is it possible to have search engine friendly urls for news articles?

Thanks

Have you searched the forum for this, it's been discussed many times, turn on pretty URLs if you want them to look nice, default URLs are search friendly...

[toolman]

Hi,

Where can I turn on Pretty URLs?

Thanks

Thanks.

I have managed to get my URLs to display as friendly URLs, but all the pages display Cannot Be Displayed when visited.

Any ideas what could cause this?

I have created the .htaccess and modified the config.php file.

Is your host running Apache? Does it have mod-rewrite turned on?

Another option is:

Code: Select all

$config['url_rewriting'] = 'internal';

Not quite as pretty, but better than the alternative.

Also, some hosts (such as GoDaddy) read the .htaccess every 30 minutes or so, so it might not work until things settle.
