How to change URL format?

Howdo,

Is there a feature in CMSMS (or a module) to change the URL structure?

For example, I have organised my pages like so:

Jewellery > Mens Rings > Signet Rings

However, on the Signet Rings page, this is the URL:

http://www.SITENAME.com/index.php?page=signet-rings

But I would like the URL to look like this:

http://www.SITENAME.com/jewellery/mens- ... gnet-rings

Obviously I want to do this for better SEO, but it also means a visitor can find out easier where they are on my site.

How can this be done?

Thanks,

Romano

Hi simon.romin

i think you should go threw Documentation or do a simple Forum search for "pretty url" and you will find plenty results and answers to your question.

http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/

In the download package of CMSMS there is "doc" folder containing sample htaccess file that is needed for url rewriting.
Set your config.php to "mod_rewrite" upload the htaccess file to root folder of CMSMS and your ready to go.
