Search engine friendly URLs?

[robotic]

Is there a module or anything for CMS made simple that changes the URLs from DOMAIN.com/index.php?=articles-name to DOMAIN.com/articles/article-name or DOMAIN.com/article-name

Thanks in advance

Sure, it's built in.

See the config.php and set

$config['internal_pretty_urls'] = true;
$config['use_hierarchy'] = true;

to see how it works

Hi,

I alwas use mod_rewrite for that. Here's a description:

Works well for me ...

Hello,

Why people don't read the optional settings at the end of the installation guide when they install CMSms ?-)

You'll need to change your .htaccess file; see Alex's response for a link explaining how to do that.

Pierre,

I am very new to Simple CMS, I just installed it today. It is a great system! To answer your question
Why people don't read the optional settings, I think because it is not obvious that there is such a page, even though it is truly useful and must read.

I don't recall seeing an announcement to read this, and I think it would be great if there was one.

Thanks again for this great CMS!
