Have smart webpage names

[rochak]

Hi,

My web pages have a very long website link name e.g. http://www.greenfuture-group.com/index. ... reenenergy

how can I have cleaner webpage name like www.greenfuture-group.com/greenenergy/

etc...

Thanks,!

Open your config.php and add...

$config['url_rewriting'] = 'mod_rewrite';
$config['page_extension'] = '.html';

Then in the [[root]]/doc folder copy the htaccess.txt to the [[root]] (not the .htaccess that is in the doc folder) and rename it .htaccess and you should be good to go...

You may want to make sure your [[root]] doesn't have a .htaccess file already, in FTP you may need to turn on "show hidden files"...

Hi

thanks, I tried your suggestion but it doesn't work

It is still the same as earlier

[Dr.CSS]

Can you describe the exact steps you tried?...

hi dr.css

followed exactly your post

1. edited config. php
2. move htaccess from doc folder to root . Have attached my htaccess file

my website pages still have long names.. the moment I try smart webpage links it gives Page Not found error.

DrCSS didnt say to copy the htaccess from the docs folder to the root, he mentioned to copy the file htaccess.txt (which is the example htaccess file) to the root as .htaccess. The file .htaccess in the docs folder, is the .htaccess of the docs-folder itself.

The use of .htaccess and url-rewriting will allow you to use shorter names, as the default .htaccess will trim the index.php?page= part of the url. With the use of the pageURL, which can be set by default, depending on the settings in GlobalSettings, you can steer how the URL is setup....

It can either be hierarchical, like /parent/child, or flat, like /child. THe page-URL field is manually updateable from the editpage itself.
