This should be working. Do you have use_hierarchy set to true in your config.php file?

I'm interested in having News in pretty urls mode... But if I activate the use_hierarchy setting, my current web pages will also follow this schema.
Alas, this can't be a solution, as Mr Google has kindly indexed my pages following the current non-hierarchical names.
So... would there be a clean & supported solution to activate pretty urls only for news ?
Thanks !
(and, I forgot : Happy New Year to all of you, Leaders, Developpers & Happy Users !)
Samalah : what happens if you apply a standard template ? Please try this simple test to determine where the problem is...

You should use a .htaccess file for that ...

So to keep your pagerank you just have to inform kind Mr Google that your URLs have changed with 301 redirects (search redirect or 301 in my previous posts). You can use your webserver for this purpose, or try EL's "movedpages" module.

Pierre : well, there are solutions... but I just want to change nothing. RSS, customers links... would break. I don't want to experience what would happen. Call me coward...
Cyberman : super. Which one ?

Break ? Why ?
HTTP 301 redirects are *designed* for service continuity, without breakage.
You can first test with only one of your URLs.
I won't call you coward, I understand your don't want any breakage

OK, I'll try it... later, when I have time (in 2012 ?). Thanks for teaching me it's possible to achieve.
Cyberman : sorry, I've been rude in my previous answer. Probably lack of sleep... working 18 hours a day since beg december...
Can you point me to a solution ?
Thanks !
