Menu links - I'm confused

[wordnut]

I'm very new to this cms thing, and I'm trying to get a small site up and running. I'm using CMS Made Simple 0.13, and I'm trying to use the Bulletmenu Vert1 col template as a base.  I've built a few of pages on a flat architecture - all pages so far are on the same level as the home page. It looks all right; when I view the homepage, all the other pages appear as they should on the main menu. But the links don't work. I can't get to the other pages from the homepage, and I don't know enough to be able to go into it and find out why.

Even the home page URL is wrong. I can view the homepage on URL http..... cmsmadesimple/index.php, but the other pages try to link to  ... cmsmadesimple/index.php/home - which doesn't work. Can anyone tell me why it does this, and what I can do to make it work?

[tsw]

Internal pretty urls do "cmsmadesimple/index.php/home" kind of links, there have been some httpd's that wont work right with this kind of links

You can change this behaviour in config.php

change:
$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = true;
to:
$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = false;

and try it out.

You can also test using modrewrite by setting assumo_mod_rewrite = true and copying doc/htaccess.txt to ./.htaccess

hope this helps

Thanks for that. Tried it and it worked. I even think I understand it.

Cheers.
