Hey Mr. Dr.... thanks 4 replying - yes that is a very pretty url as far as I'm concerned - it was when I clicked on categories in the summary view I was kinda wishing for a nice "http://localhost/cmsms/news/general/ or general.html instead of the unpretty "http://localhost/cmsms/index.php?mact=N ... eturnid=66 - having spent about a week trying each and every suggestion I could find in the forums I finally have my answer - it ain't gna happen... http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/viewtopi ... 6&p=277737Dr.CSS wrote:This "http://localhost/cmsms/news/2/66/My-Pretty-Page.html is actually what is know as a pretty URL for news...
No you don't have a folder called news, CMSMS doesn't make 'pages' that are in folders, all 'pages' are in the DB

So even if you can... ...manage to get the links to appear properly, news will not handle them.
the only reason i tried making a subfolder called news was because I also tried what it said here http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... stallationcalguy1000 wrote:Once you add parameters like sort order, sorting field, page number, page limit, summary template, detail template (and other parameters that the news and other various modules support for customizing the output) to the url, no matter what you do, it won't be pretty. and besides, usually it's the detail view that's most important anyways... users don't generally care about how ugly the url is to access "the 4th page of all news articles (even expired ones) sorted by author in decending order with 5 items per page", using a different detail template.
News allows you numerous ways to organize the data, just by adding more calls to the module. Making the pagination urls 'pretty' would require removing that flexibility.
humph. am going away to sulk nowFor NEWS-Module I had to create a subfolder /news and add a /news/.htaccess:One line for the rule!!Code: Select all
Options +FollowSymLinks RewriteEngine on RewriteBase / # Rewrite for NEWS # requested URL looks like /news/12/13.html rewrite is # index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=12&cntnt01returnid=13 # first number is article, second is returnid; NC = nocase, L=last (rule) RewriteRule ^([0-9]*).html$ index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=$1 [NC,L] RewriteRule ^([0-9]*)/([0-9]*).html$ index.php?mact=News,cntnt01,detail,0&cntnt01articleid=$1& cntnt01returnid=$2 [NC,L]
yes, news page. the detail view was perfect, it was just category view.Dr.CSS wrote:Have you set a default detail page in News admin?...
